Rather than treating transformation as a one-off initiative, we’ll look at it through a **complexity lens** - as something that unfolds over time, affects people differently, and rarely follows a linear *path*. Throughout the day, we will explore topics such as: * change fatigue and why “just one more initiative” often backfires * resistance to change - not as a problem to remove, but as a signal to understand * the limits of traditional change management approaches * what complexity thinking adds to strategy, transformation, and leadership * practical perspectives that help leaders navigate change more sustainably While individual sessions may differ in focus, all contributions will connect to a shared theme: **what helps transformation succeed in complex, adaptive systems**. This is a **save-the-date / early invitation**. More details about speakers, agenda, and format will follow. If you work with strategy, transformation, or large-scale change - and are curious about approaches that go beyond simple playbooks - we invite you to **book your time and join the conversation**. 🎤 Follow us on LinkedIn, we’ll be announcing more speakers soon, links to our profiles are below See you there!

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Hello

Join an inspiring and educational flower arranging course, where we dive into the art of creating beautiful bouquets using modern techniques. The course is designed for both beginners and more experienced flower enthusiasts who want to explore different styles and learn about new trends in floral design. We begin with an introduction to classic arranging techniques and the basic principles of color and material selection. From there, we explore various styles – from romantic and wild bouquets to more minimalist and structured designs. To wrap up, we’ll focus on the contemporary bouquet – a bold and innovative style that we are proud to have helped introduce in Denmark. This style combines unique materials, asymmetry, and a playful approach to shape and texture, resulting in a truly distinctive expression. Everything you need is included: Flowers, greenery, tools, and materials will be provided – all you need to do is show up and let your creativity bloom. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process and ensure that you leave with your own personal masterpiece and plenty of inspiration.

**Important:** * Please sign up on the following website to complete your sign up: https://uxdx.com/community/community-copenhagen-2026-03-18/ An in-person series of meetups focused on helping product & engineering teams in Copenhagen bridge the gap between UX, Product, Design, and Dev, and to build better products faster, together. **Agenda:** **16:45 – 17:00 Registration & Networking** **17:00 – 17:10 Welcome, intro to UXDX and Ambassador - Tasha** **17:10 – 17:25 Host Introduction - Kristoffer (Famly) + Q&A on Famly** **17:25 – 17:50 Talk 1 (Stefani Vujic) + Q&A** **17:50 – 18:20 Pizza & Networking** **18:30 – 18:55 Talk 2 (Mareike Bonitz) + Q&A** **18:55 - 19:15 Closing & Networking** ## **✨ Talks** **Talk by** **Stefani Vujic - The fall and rise of conversational content design.** These days, everyone wants to be conversational. E-commerce, medtech, fintech, all the techs. If you’re a corporate brand, it seems like you’ll do anything to not sound like it. Instead, a trend to “level with our customers” and “speak our users’ language” appears to dominate. In this talk, we'll examine why one of UX writing's favourite frenemies is so devilishly difficult to execute well. Spoiler: Real conversations are spontaneous, situational and physical – basically everything computers are not. So when should interfaces chat, when should they shut up and how do we tell the difference? **Talk by Mareike Bonitz - How to make your whole organization understand and support Product work** In this talk, the audience will receive concrete examples of bringing Product principles closer to other teams. How can we make the whole company be more data-driven, validate their hypotheses before executing, understand the why, work more cross-functionally? The talk should inspire and give a hands on toolbox for bringing more Product sense to everyone. ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

AI is exciting. It's also a lot. Whether you're just starting to explore, feeling quietly behind, or already fully embracing the shift - you're exactly who this evening is for. TechWomen Copenhagen is hosting a real panel conversation. No hype. No polished success stories. Just honest talk about change, curiosity, and figuring it out. Bianca Negrea, Product Leader at Monta, will guide you through this conversation, where you'll meet the panelists: * Íngrid Munné Collado, Forecasting Lead
@ Electricity Maps * Cecilia Battinelli, Lead Software Engineer @ SimCorp * Polina Arkhipova, Senior Talent Acquisition @ Monta There will be time for **networking**, **shared experiences**, and **practical tools** to take with you. **Come curious. Leave inspired and connected.** **SETUP FOR THE DAY:** Panel discussion and the focus on small group conversations to enable personal and professional relationships to evolve from this community meeting. **HOW DOES IT WORK:** 1. Ask for the area reserved for “TechWomen”. 2. Take a seat at one of the reserved tables. 3. Order and pay for your choice of beverage/snack at the counter. 4. Get back to your table.

We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic! Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too. As the contacted cafés usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory. This event is in English. The exact place can still change.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
