AI is everywhere, while impact isn’t. We’ve moved fast — LLMs, copilots, agents — but many organizations are still asking the same question:
**Why isn’t this driving real business impact?**
This panel is not about what AI could do. It’s about what’s actually happening inside teams today:
• The gap between investment and outcomes
• The human side of adoption we don’t talk about
• The pressure to adopt fast — and what it takes to make it stick
Join us for a candid conversation lead by Monique Marins, AI & Data Leader at Trustpilot, on what it really takes to go from AI hype to real business impact.
We’re bringing together an incredible panel of women in tech — each with hands-on experience across data, product, digital experience, and communication:
* Sara Mehrabi, VP Data, Analytics & Decision Intelligence @ COWI
* Cecilia Fernandez, Product Manager Experience @ Mastercard
* Larisa Andrei, Director Digital Experience & Applications @ 3Shape
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.

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?**
Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎
Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.
The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.
When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.
**General Meeting Agenda**
Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:
* 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start.
* 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.
* 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.
* 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.
* 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.
**🧧PRICING?**
Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!
**💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY**
🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam
🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel
**🤓 FAQ**
* What will we talk about? What's the topic?
The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX).
* Do I need to study or read anything to attend?
No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required.
* Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?
The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.
* Is it mostly men that attend?
Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.
* Can I come alone?
Of course you can, we encourage it :)
* Can I be late?
Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.
* Where do you meet?
The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/).
🤝**POLICY**
To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
**PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨**
Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in 25+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

Here in Copenhagen we have started a movement of weekly dinners (on a Wednesday) hosted by the senior generation in their own homes.
Seniors with 60+ years of life experience who are community leaders, intellectuals, artists, storytellers, and want to share their experience over dinners for a small group each time.
Every Wednesday there is dinner hosted by a different Silver (senior host) who will open their front door, welcome a group of 5-8 people into their home, and share their stories, knowledge, and connections across the table over a themed evening.
Each host chooses their own theme and it is the aim to pass on their hard-earned knowledge.
Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning Robotics Events This Week
Hangout is a format without speakers or much preparation. Instead all the two hours are reserved for an open discussion and networking. It is good if you are curious to learn whether AI Safety is a thing or find collaborators/friends/networking.
Description for newbies:
We’re living through something comparable to the Industrial Revolution — except this time, the machines don’t just replace muscle, they try to replicate cognition.
This meetup is for people in Lund who want to calmly and seriously discuss AI safety: how advanced AI systems might impact society, work, power, and long-term human wellbeing — and what can be done to steer development in a beneficial direction.
The meetup is informal and discussion-based. We’ll talk about current AI systems, near-future risks, ethical questions, governance, and technical safety ideas — always with an emphasis on critical thinking rather than hype or fear.
You don’t need to be an AI expert. Students, researchers, professionals, and curious non-technical people are all welcome. If you’re interested in understanding AI beyond headlines — and want to think together with others — this meetup is for you. Fun and nice atmosphere included.
**[Klaus Bucka-Lassen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/buckalassen/)**: *An agile advisor and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their agile processes.*
**[Lars Kruse](https://www.lakruzz.com/):** *A Continuous Delivery and DevOps evangelist and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their SDLC processes.*
**For 25 years we've been preaching the basic principles of Agile and DevOps to teams, colleagues and clients.** Both Agile and DevOps have been declared DEAD many times. But now it's apparently *un-dead* (pun intended🤷♂️), as Agentic AI matures by the hour — a whole new breed of code contributors are entering the stage.
And they get EXACTLY what it's about: **Agentic AI may just be the the best Agile and most DevOpsy team mates one could dream of.**
What could possibly go wrong now?
You are hereby invited to a **short intro** (roughly 30 mins, expect slightly *provocative* and *opinionated* content — something that old men are still way better at than AI) followed by a facilitated **lean coffee discussion** on an *apocaloptimistic* perspective on:
***"What the heck is going on in Agile and DevOps Right Now"***
The venue is a bar 🍻 - so do not expect anything other than lively discussions with peers.
We're kicked out of the Workbar at 19:00 by the latest, but if the sentiment is right we may continue on to somewhere else and grab a bite after.
\- Cheers\!
**Join us for a Copenhagen ServiceNow Developer Meetup focused on smart customizations in the Service Operations Workspace (SOW)!**
This session tackles one of the most common pitfalls in ServiceNow projects: customizing Workspaces without a clear strategy. We'll look at where ServiceNow is taking the Workspace model, whether your organization is actually ready for it, and how to define a customization approach that serves your users - not just your backlog.
A big part of getting this right is understanding your audience. Who is actually using the workspace? What do they need to see - and just as importantly, what should they never have to deal with?
We'll work through how to segment by user group, define what's relevant for each, and build a strategy that holds up over time.
**Program:**
* Welcome & intro
* ServiceNow's Workspace vision -where it's heading and why it matters
* Is your org ready? An honest readiness check
* Defining your SOW strategy: audience, scope, and what to skip
* Q&A and networking
**Remember to bring your laptop!**
**Grow your network** — This is a great opportunity to engage with fellow ServiceNow developers, swap war stories, and pick up practical ideas you can use the next day.
**Win swag** — We'll draw winners of cool ServiceNow Developer Swag!

Thanks to everyone who joined for the latest event on Zora Neale Hurston’s *Their Eyes Were Watching God*. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend myself as I was ill, but I’m very glad to hear that the discussion went well. A special thanks to Clark for sending me the information about which book was chosen as the next one.
The next book to read is the Greek classic *[Zorba the Greek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek)* (1946) by [Nikos Kazantzakis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikos_Kazantzakis). My apologies for putting the next event up later than usual.
Set on the island of Crete, the novel follows an intellectual narrator who meets the larger-than-life Alexis Zorba — a man driven by instinct, passion, and a deep love of life. What unfolds is both a philosophical and deeply human story about freedom, friendship, and what it means to truly live.
A short description of the book reads:
*A classic of modern Greek literature, Zorba the Greek contrasts the life of the mind with the life of action, as the narrator is drawn into Zorba’s vibrant, impulsive worldview. The novel explores existential questions about joy, suffering, and the human condition — all through the unforgettable character of Zorba.*
You can read more about the book on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek), find it on Goodreads [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53639.Zorba_the_Greek) and listen to it as an audiobook [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO5Ij2fbkpc).
There is also a famous film adaptation from 1964, *[Zorba the Greek](https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/zorba-the-greek)*, starring Anthony Quinn. The film was very well received and won three Academy Awards (including Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography), and was also nominated for Best Picture. It's not, however, that easy to come by, unfortunately.
For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the *[About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/)* section on the front page of the group.
We meet up on **Saturday, May 9th, at 4 p.m.**
The location will be [The Garden of The Royal Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors. But fear not, we will be back at The Fireplace Lounge in autumn.
Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read.
And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching — or however you prefer to do it.

This summer, we are excited to offer two courses—dotStart and dotBuild—with additional programs planned for release by August. Our courses are designed to go beyond online instruction by incorporating in-person activities that encourage active participation from both students and parents.
We would like to invite you to an upcoming information session, where we will provide a comprehensive overview of our programs:
**Location:** Meeting Room 2A, Columbus Metropolitan Library
4500 Hickory Chase Way, Hilliard, OH
**Date:** May 18, 2026
**Time:** 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
At dotBitz, our goal is not only to teach coding but also to help students understand how to apply these skills in their future careers. We focus on building confidence, fostering interest in technology, and guiding students as they explore potential career paths.
We hope you can join us and look forward to connecting with you.
Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability.
You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
You have heard about AI. You know it can benefit your business.
\- Can it save you time?
\- Respond to customers faster?
\- Allow you to take extra profits?
Each meetup will break down 1-2 real example scenarios of how AI implementation can relieve stress or even push you further towards your goals.
Free. No hype. Just discussing how AI can be implemented in your small business.
