Paris. Blurred Lines: Evolution of Product and Design with AI
**Registrations are closed.**
**IMPORTANT**: to participate in the event, please register on Lu.ma – https://luma.com/83i9qgsy
Hosted by **[Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma), Le Comptoir Avalon - Paris and supported by [AI Collective Paris](https://www.aicollective.com/chapters/paris?utm_source=luma)**, this session explores how AI is reshaping the day-to-day reality of Product Managers and Designers—and what this means for roles, ownership, and collaboration inside modern product teams.
Who owns discovery when AI can generate insights?
Who defines the solution when design tools can prototype instantly?
What even distinguishes product thinking from design thinking anymore?
You’ll hear from:
* \*\*[Vaska Vlahova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vlahova/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Staff Product Designer at [Qonto](https://qonto.com/en?utm_source=luma)
* \*\*[Florian Herlicq](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florianherlicq/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Lead Product Manager at [Orus](https://www.orus.eu/?utm_source=luma)
* \*\*[Justine Potin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/justine-potin-1ab9a437/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Product Manager at [Finary](https://finary.com/en?utm_source=luma)
**Moderated by:**
* \*\*[Kate Mas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-mas/?skipRedirect=true&utm_source=luma),\*\* Career Strategist at [messy careers](https://katemas.me/?utm_source=luma) (ex-Qonto, ex-Preply) — guiding the discussion on blurred boundaries and future-ready skills in product and design
This isn’t a “Product Manager vs Designer” debate. It’s a conversation about what happens when traditional role boundaries stop making sense.
**What we’ll explore:**
* Where Product Manager and Design responsibilities are already merging
* How AI is changing product discovery, decision-making, and execution
* The risks of blurred ownership (and how to avoid them)
* What skills will actually matter going forward
* How to operate effectively in a world where roles are less defined
Expect a candid, practical discussion—less theory, more real-world shifts you’re likely already feeling.
Come if you’re a Product Manager, Designer, or product leader trying to make sense of your role in this transition—and what to do about it.
**A friendly note:** Guests are encouraged to buy a drink to support our hosts **Le Comptoir Avalon**.
**Agenda**
* 18:30 — Doors open
* 19:00–19:10 — Intro
* 19:10–20:10 — Panel (60 min)

Eros Reading Circle: Mesoamerican Sexual Practices & The 18 Intimate Archetypes
Would you like to know more about the tantric approach and add more depth to your sexual life but don’t know where to start?
Would you like to deepen the relationship with yourself or with your partner?
Or maybe you just want to be able to talk about these topics openly with like-minded people?
I created Eros Reading Circle because I believe erotica nowadays is very misunderstood. Fast satisfaction is the preferred way on societal level. There are plenty of negative emotions – shame, guilt, low self worth – attached to the topic of pleasure in the collective and also on the individual level.
The past few years I dedicated to self-exploration and the broadening of my horizon when it comes to depths of pleasure and living the tantric approach.
We gather every three weeks in a cozy tearoom in the heart of Prague (near I.P. Pavlova).
You don’t need to join every time. You can attend only one session or more – each time we will cover a different topic.
We don’t read full books. When you book your spot, you will receive an email with the text for the upcoming circle and 2-3 reflection prompts.
We usually cover one chapter, 10 to 30 pages (written in English). You are asked to read the chapter before the session.
All genders, singles and couples are welcome. Our readings explore erotica, pleasure, tantra, ecstasy, desire and the polarity of masculine and feminine energies. Some sessions focus on men’s sexuality, others on women’s, and some on pleasure as a whole.
During each circle, we begin with a short grounding practice, share what resonated or didn’t, engage in discussion and end with a closing reflection.
Eros Reading Circle is for you:
- If you are desiring to have a more conscious sexual life
- If you want to deepen your relationship to self (and to your partner)
- If you would love to attract a partner who complements you
- If you would like to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded people
- If you want to experiment with new practices, try new things
- If you would like to leave behind negative imprints attached to your sexuality
- If you are interested to learn about pleasure from a more spiritual or philosophical aspect
- If you have wondered what tantra is and how could you apply it in your own life
- If you would love to join a circle of book lovers but can’t commit to reading long books
When? 15th April, 19.00-21.30
Where? Čajovna Šamanka
How much does it cost? 350 CZK

We will explore also the 9 female and 9 male genital anatomy types.
I look forward to welcoming you in the circle <3

**About the Speakers**
**Sergei Kavaleryan** is the founder of Finaram, an online mortgage guidance platform built for professionals and expats in the Czech Republic. He created Finaram after seeing how complex and unclear the mortgage process can be, especially for foreigners navigating a new financial system. Before building Finaram, he explored the market from both a user and analytical perspective, identifying key gaps in transparency, accessibility, and user experience.
Finaram combines data-driven tools with guidance from licensed advisors to help clients understand their options, estimate affordability, and move through the mortgage process with clarity and structure. His focus is on simplifying decision-making and helping people approach property financing in the Czech Republic with confidence.
**Robin Petrásek** is the founder of Expats Finance, a mortgage advisory firm focused exclusively on expats in the Czech Republic. With over 16 years of experience in banking and finance, and more than a decade specializing in expat clients, he has personally helped over 400 foreign buyers successfully secure property financing. His team has arranged more than 2.5 billion CZK in mortgages, with a 100% success rate for clients who moved forward with a purchase.
Robin focuses on making complex mortgage rules clear and helping expats navigate the Czech system with confidence. He collaborates with Finaram as a trusted mortgage advisor for expat clients.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

All visitors are welcome. Any questions contact [pmarchio@farmersagent.com](mailto:pmarchio@farmersagent.com)
Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences.
Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future.
What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs.
At this free local Meetup event we will talk about:
* What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic.
* Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences?
* How to break away from negativity and focus on the future
* What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions?
Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences.
