CASHFLOW - Das Finanz-Brettspiel
**Wie kommst Du aus dem finanziellen Hamsterrad?**
Durch Übung! :-))
Das Finanz-Strategiespiel "Cashflow 101" von Robert Kiyosaki zeigt dir die Möglichkeiten!
Durch dieses Spiel lernst du konkrete Wege kennen, wie Du das finanzielle Hamsterrad verlassen und ein noch freieres, selbstbestimmteres Leben führen kannst.
Du lernst den Unterschied zwischen guten und schlechten Schulden. Und noch viel mehr!
Das regelmässige Finanz-Fitnesstraining mit dem Brettspiel Cashflow 101 ist dafür hocheffektiv! Und das alles ohne Schwitzen, Mühe und Risiko!
Bist Du auch mit dabei? AnfängerInnen sind natürlich willkommen.
**Wo treffen wir uns?**
Wir treffen uns in einem schönen Restaurant in Zürich-Oerlikon um 18h.
Vor und während dem Essen (optional und freiwillig, aber wer konsumiert, unterstützt einen lokalen Wirt) kann genetzwerkt werden, d.h. jeder, der will, kann von seinen und ihren Investment Lösungen erzählen. Wir erfahren immer gerne von neuen Möglichkeiten.
Über Geld reden ist kein Tabu mehr!
Nach dem Essen erklären wir die Regeln und spielen = üben uns im Investieren.
Melde dich jetzt an.
**PS Abmeldung:**
Eine kurze Meetup-Nachricht, SMS oder ein Anruf bei kurzfristiger Abmeldung wird erwartet. Wir nehmen uns Zeit, dafür erwarten wir, dass du entweder kommst oder dich entsprechend abmeldest, damit wir nicht unnötig warten oder unnötig einen weiten Weg auf uns nehmen müssen (Xarah wohnt jetzt im Thurgau - Bodensee)
**PPS Kosten:**
Fr. 20.- (bitte unaufgefordert bei Spielbeginn bezahlen). Das Geld kommt in einen Topf. Im letzten Spiel des Jahres erhält der Gewinner eine Silber-Münze oder Sammlermünze.
Bitte **Bargeld** mitnehmen. CHF. Der Beizer nimmt auch lieber Bargeld, weil Kreditkartenzahlungen zusätzliche Kosten verursachen.
CHANGE Conference: AI+Humans
### ***If AI reinvents work — how do we ensure people are not left behind?***
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how organisations recruit, structure work, and develop talent. The future of work will not be defined by AI alone, but by how effectively organisations align technological innovation with human capability, responsibility, and opportunity.
The Zurich edition of **CHANGE**, Bevel ON’s social sustainability platform, brings together leaders from business transformation, human resources, consulting, technology, and sustainability to examine how organisations can navigate this transition responsibly and strategically.
At the same time, the event will address a critical social sustainability challenge: how to ensure that technological progress expands opportunity rather than widening inequality. Companies that successfully combine AI adoption with inclusive talent strategies, continuous learning, and human-centred leadership will be best positioned to build resilient organisations and trusted brands.
## **Agenda Overview**
**Location:** [Marriott Zurich Hotel](https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/zrhdt-zurich-marriott-hotel/overview/)
**16:30 — Doors Open**
**17:00 – 17:15 — Welcome Speech**
**17:15 – 18:00 — Panel 1: Workplace Transformation**
**Human-Centred AI as a Leadership Responsibility**
This panel explores how AI is reshaping organisational structures and leadership accountability, focusing on how companies measure impact beyond efficiency and integrate the human dimension into AI-driven transformation, including ESG alignment, governance, and reskilling responsibility. Topics include: integrating AI into sustainability frameworks, future of roles and skills, organizational responsibility for learning & development in AI.

Moderator: [Dr Tanja Collavo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanja-collavo/), Senior Programme Manager, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership
**18:00 – 18:15 — Break**
**18:15 – 19:15 — Panel 2: Workforce Reinvention**
**Employment Opportunities in an AI-driven World**
This panel focuses on how organisations can support workforce adaptation in the age of AI, addressing AI-driven recruitment, emerging vs. disappearing roles, bias and inequality in AI systems, and how businesses can use AI to augment human potential rather than replace it. Topics include: augmented work, the rise of agentic AI, data gaps, evolution of recruitment principles.

Moderator: [Inna Malaia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/inna-malaia/), Founder, Bevel World, Managing Director, Bevel ON Association
**19:30 – 21:00 — Networking Reception**
Bringing together executives, workforce strategists, and technology experts, **AI + Humans: Designing the Future Together** offers a forward-looking dialogue on how organisations can integrate artificial intelligence with human potential to shape a more resilient and inclusive future of work.

**How?**
**Disconnect** your phone & Connect with people in a **free** and **super-fun** event! These recurring events create a "fixed" community without any specific reasons for connection (like interests, genders, age or countries). **Everyone is welcome**! The event is that **simple**😀
* 🌴NEW: beautiful **rooftop** in most beautiful **garden** in central Zürich that comes with its own bar
* **🥇** **New comer area** for first-time-atendees with ice-breaker questions (optional area, in case you want to talk to first-time attendees)

* 👬 or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process
.
**IMPORTANT:**
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and "Safe":** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**

.
**TIPS on HOW TO CONNECT:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection**
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet

**ABOUT US:** **(in detail)**
.
.
**WHY Connection Space**?
* ... we ❤️ **uniting people** while having **fun!** We make the world better by enabling **fun quality offline connections** & building **community!**
* ... we truly believe **Human Connections** is what we truly **deeply crave** for and what we truly **need** so we can be **happy** and **healthy**! This is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you [HEALTHY](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/relationships-boost-survival/#:~:text=Overall%252C%2520social%2520support%2520increases%2520survival,%252Da%252Dday%2520smoking%2520habit) and is what you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells you.
.
* **WHAT is Connection Space?**
Imagine a co-working space where everyone is with headphones, laptops, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
or a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people they already know..
.
The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**.
.
Thats it.
.
No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books
No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc)
No to just talking to your friends
Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup
NO to division (political racial gender etc)
.
Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends
YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out
Yes to feeling like home & come as you are
Yes to unity, love and respect for one another
Yes to eating, drinking and music
Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events
YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions
.
Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it!
.
* **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome
* **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above).
* **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**!
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.
.
Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

(External RSVP) GitHub Copilot Dev Days
\*\* Important RSVP [here](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026051307) (Due to room capacity and venue security, it's required to pre-register at the link for admission).
RSVP on Meetup is turned off.
**Description:**
Join us for a community-led developer event focused on AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot.
Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development.
**Agenda**
\- 4:30pm: Doors open\, Snacks\, and Networking
\- 5:00pm: Welcome\, Community update
\- 5:10pm\~5:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot overview
\- 5:40pm\~6:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot in Practice
\- 6:40pm\~7:30pm: Open discussion and closing
**Tech talk: Mastering GitHub Copilot CLI**
**Speaker:** Aymen Furter - Cloud & AI Solution Engineer, Microsoft
**Abstract:** Learn to harness the power of agentic development by transitioning to autonomous, multi-step terminal workflows. This session focuses on mastering plan-based execution, repository-aware context, and integrating external data via the Model Context Protocol.
**Tech talk: GitStop Using GitHub Copilot Like a Toy**
**Speaker:** Emanuele Bartolesi - GitHub Tech Lead, Xebia
**Abstract:** Hub Copilot is easy to love in a demo. Real projects are different. Production codebases come with legacy code, missing context, inconsistent patterns, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure. That is where GitHub Copilot either becomes a real advantage or just an expensive toy. This talk focuses on practical ways to use Copilot in real development workflows, going beyond autocomplete. Agent mode, skills, Copilot CLI, and better prompting can make a real difference when working in messy repositories and under real deadlines. Designed for developers and tech leads who want more than flashy demos, this session shares concrete tactics to get better output, reduce noise, and make Copilot genuinely useful in day-to-day software delivery.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
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.
Quarterly Community Gathering
Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space.
No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving.
If you’d like to take the stage, message \*\*Chris (the organizer)\*\*with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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.

LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
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.
