**About** Would your embedded product benefit from application logic updates that do not require changes to the full firmware? Or a mechanism for your customers to tweak and extend the functionality of the product? Using their favourite language(s), without proprietary tooling? And all that while your product stays secure, no matter how creative said customers get? WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) might be exactly what you are looking for. Join us this evening to learn about the state of the art of running WebAssembly on MCUs, and to experience a practical example of a real world, production grade embedded code base targeting WebAssembly and running in a browser. Merging the two approaches is then left to the visitors as a take-home exercise. **Presentations** 1. 15’: Welcome (Urs/Reto and SCS) 2. 40’: Browser technology on the MCU? Introduction to WebAssembly, overview of existing embedded runtimes, use cases, discussion. (Pascal Mainini) 3. 30’: Unlocking Bluetooth Connectivity in Browsers: From Sensors to Audio (Matthias Ringwald) Presentations start at 19:00. Afterwards we’ll have plenty of time to discuss and socialize. **About the speakers** * [Pascal Mainini](https://mainini.ch/) is a teacher and researcher at [Berner Fachhochschule](https://www.bfh.ch/en/about-bfh/people/kkmsprgzbqc2/), focussing on the security of embedded systems and the Internet of Things. * [Matthias Ringwald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthiasringwald/) is a Co-Founder of [BlueKitchen GmbH](https://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/) and develops their Bluetooth stack.

**AI Essentials for Product Managers (beyond the basics)** (Prices go up on May 15!) AI is reshaping product management, from how we discover problems to how we ship and improve features. This hands-on, one-day workshop goes beyond the basics: you'll sharpen how you run AI-assisted discovery, scale your own and your team's productivity with agents and automations, and learn how to build AI-powered products where the real work is no longer building the prototype but deciding when the output is good enough to ship. **Who is this for?** * Mid to senior product managers who already use AI and want to level up * PMs leading discovery or delivery on AI-powered features * Product people who want frameworks that hold up under real product pressure, not demo-ware **Course Content** *AI-Assisted Product Discovery.* We'll look at how discovery itself changes when agents can set up and maintain a research repository, synthesize qualitative insights, and run quantitative analyses alongside you. We'll talk candidly about discovery slop, research that looks shiny but is actually shitty, and how to avoid producing it. You'll practice using vibe coding from a discovery lens: choosing the right thing to test, picking the right kind of prototype, and setting it up so it delivers real signal in a live setting rather than just looking impressive in a demo. *Scaling Productivity with AI.* From building your own AI agents to designing automations across your stack, you'll learn how to spot the highest-leverage use cases in your daily work and your team's workflows, and how to actually set them up pragmatically with the tools you already use. *Building AI Products.* Shipping AI products changes what product management looks like. You often have a feasible prototype on day one; the real challenge is improving the output, handling non-determinism, and deciding when it's good enough to launch. We'll go hands-on with the building blocks that make this tractable: evaluations, observability tooling, and the product decisions around them. *Driving AI Transformation.* Getting good at AI as an individual PM is one thing; shifting an entire product organization is another. Julia will share how she is leading AI transformation at the SaaS startup she works at: how she moved the mindset of the organization, built momentum for innovation, and keeps the company on the front foot instead of waiting to be disrupted. You'll take away a clearer picture of what your role can look like in that shift, and how to start driving it from where you sit today. Throughout the day you'll work through concrete product scenarios, cut through the hype, and leave with frameworks and tools you can apply the very next day, whether you're improving how you discover, how you work, or what you ship. Throughout the day, Julia will weave in lessons from driving AI transformation inside a SaaS startup, so you leave with perspective on both the craft and the organizational shift around it. To make sure everyone arrives on the same footing, you'll receive around 2 hours of pre-workshop video material covering AI literacy essentials: how LLMs actually work, their risks and limitations, and the fundamentals of prompt engineering. The workshop itself then starts where the basics end. **What you cannot expect** * A deep dive into vibe coding as a craft. We will vibecode, but through a product discovery lens, not as a goal in itself. * A prompt engineering course. The pre-work covers the fundamentals so we can spend the day on harder, more product-specific problems. * Superficial blabla. We go into the real struggles of doing product management with and around AI, not the hype reel. “With Julia’s clarity, hands-on guidance, strong visuals and buzzword-free examples, the spark was unmistakable. She debunked the myths, demystified AI and left everyone excited to try it in product management. A real rockstar workshop.”Melanie Wyssen-Voß, Vice President Product FACT24 **COMBI-TICKETS** This workshop can be bought in combination with the Product Academy SUMMIT at a reduced rate on [our conference webite](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/courses-seminars/vocational-education/ai-essentials-for-product-managers-workshop-7392202884182503088.html). (Prices go up on May 15, 2026!) **YOUR TRAINER** Julia Bastian is a Product Leader with more than nine years of experience building and scaling digital products and driving innovation. As VP Product at Alasco, a venture-backed proptech company, she scaled the product and engineering organization from 5 to 50 people and built strong thought leadership around B2B product discovery. Today, she leads Alasco’s AI transformation, ensuring the company harnesses AI to stay ahead of disruption and deliver real customer value. Alongside her leadership role, Julia works as an AI educator and consultant. Her goal is to accelerate product managers’ AI learning journey by making the topic approachable and lowering the entry barrier for those just starting out. Staying grounded in a real product environment is essential to her. She works hands-on on AI topics, from automating internal workflows to integrating AI agents into the product, rather than only talking about them from a consulting perspective. Julia has a special ability to visualize complex ideas, which helps her share her knowledge in a clear and engaging way and make difficult concepts feel simple and actionable.

When we turn from frameworks and slides to the fundamental questions strategy needs to answer, a new possibility of pragmatic decision-making emerges – No matter your company size, industry, or job title. In this workshop-from-the stage, we will create clarity for your product strategy challenges by tackling them live and in real-time in Miro. Be prepared to come with your real-life questions, and leave with clarity on your next step. DOMINIQUE JOST (Head of Product at Doist, Bern): **End-to-End PM or End-of PM?** No hype. No hero stories. Just the practical, unfiltered lessons from [Doist](https://www.doist.com/)’s (makers of [Todoist](https://www.todoist.com/) and [Twist](https://twist.com/)) shift toward end-to-end PMs, and what AI is and isn’t changing about the craft. If you want a grounded, and messy view of what PM work will look like in the next few years, this talk is for you. JULIA BASTIAN (Product Lead Innovation & GenAI at Alasco, Munich): **From lagging metrics to leading decision - How B2B teams can lead with qualitative data** In B2B companies, sales often drives product decisions—not because it’s the best path, but because product teams lack the data to challenge it and steer confidently themselves. Unlike B2C, B2B data is often slow, sparse, and arrives too late to drive real-time learning. The result? Product managers feel stuck— aware that the current approach isn’t delivering impact, but unsure how to change a system that keeps them reactive. This talk is a call to action for B2B product teams ready to lead again. You’ll leave with four practical actions to shift the dynamics in you organization tomorrow! At the heart of this shift is qualitative data—not just as a source of deep insight, but as a foundation for building up organizational gut feeling. We’ll dive into practical techniques for gathering, sharing, and acting on qualitative data—and why organizational learning is the true unlock for product-led growth in complex B2B environments. STEPHANIE HÜRLAND (Head of AI Products and Strategy at ZDFSparks): **Two worlds, one role** – **AI Product Management through client and provider lenses** AI product management is shaped by two fundamentally different perspectives: the viewpoint of product teams defining needs, goals, and strategic direction, and the viewpoint of those responsible for designing, building, and delivering the actual AI solution. Both perspectives influence how decisions are made, how value is defined, and how complexity and uncertainty are managed throughout the product lifecycle. The session provides an overview of the key differences and shared challenges between these two perspectives, and highlights what successful AI product management requires when navigating both. The session includes practical examples that illustrate how different perspectives influence the way AI products are shaped, evaluated, and developed. SEBASTIAN CASTANEDA (former Team Lead at Foodora, Vienna): **Driving growth with limited engineering capacity: How creative experiments lifted Foodora's tips by 60%** Foodora Austria raised rider tips by 60%, while facing a challenge: after a couple of complex iterations and proper A/B tests, engineering capacity became limited. In this talk, we’ll go through the experiments they ran, including the trade-offs and challenges, learning what worked and what didn’t. We will explore how small UI tweaks, working with data, and understanding the cultural context can drive growth, even if you do not have a large analytics team or advanced testing tools. FLORIAN BONNET (VP Solutions & Growth at Veriff): **How to turn oproduct work into revenue outcomes with KPI trees** Product teams often track many metrics but struggle to clearly connect their work to business impact. This talk introduces North Star Metrics and KPI Trees as a practical framework for understanding product performance, customer behavior, and the levers that drive revenue outcomes. Florian will walk through how effective KPI Trees are structured, how North Star Metrics are typically defined across different contexts, and why this approach works for organizations of any size or model. Through concrete examples, you’ll see how KPI Trees can go beyond performance tracking to help translate product metrics into the language of business — bridging the gap that often exists between product teams and leadership.

When we turn from frameworks and slides to the fundamental questions strategy needs to answer, a new possibility of pragmatic decision-making emerges – No matter your company size, industry, or job title. In this workshop-from-the stage, we will create clarity for your product strategy challenges by tackling them live and in real-time in Miro. Be prepared to come with your real-life questions, and leave with clarity on your next step. DOMINIQUE JOST (Head of Product at Doist, Bern): **End-to-End PM or End-of PM?** No hype. No hero stories. Just the practical, unfiltered lessons from [Doist](https://www.doist.com/)’s (makers of [Todoist](https://www.todoist.com/) and [Twist](https://twist.com/)) shift toward end-to-end PMs, and what AI is and isn’t changing about the craft. If you want a grounded, and messy view of what PM work will look like in the next few years, this talk is for you. JULIA BASTIAN (Product Lead Innovation & GenAI at Alasco, Munich): **AI Discovery Slop - The research that looks shiny but is sh\*tty** AI has made discovery output faster and shinier than ever. But fast and shiny is not the same as deep and true. Real discovery is about finding contradictions, sitting with complexity, and synthesising and not about smoothing everything into a polished blur. Product people have stopped thinking. And nobody notices because the output looks great. But product sense is built through thinking, not through consuming. This talk is about what real discovery looks like in the age of AI - for both B2B and B2C companies. Stop consuming shiny discovery slop. Start thinking again. STEPHANIE HÜRLAND (Head of AI Products and Strategy at ZDFSparks): **Two worlds, one role** – **AI Product Management through client and provider lenses** AI product management is shaped by two fundamentally different perspectives: the viewpoint of product teams defining needs, goals, and strategic direction, and the viewpoint of those responsible for designing, building, and delivering the actual AI solution. Both perspectives influence how decisions are made, how value is defined, and how complexity and uncertainty are managed throughout the product lifecycle. The session provides an overview of the key differences and shared challenges between these two perspectives, and highlights what successful AI product management requires when navigating both. The session includes practical examples that illustrate how different perspectives influence the way AI products are shaped, evaluated, and developed. SEBASTIAN CASTANEDA (former Team Lead at Foodora, Vienna): **Driving growth with limited engineering capacity: How creative experiments lifted Foodora's tips by 60%** Foodora Austria raised rider tips by 60%, while facing a challenge: after a couple of complex iterations and proper A/B tests, engineering capacity became limited. In this talk, we’ll go through the experiments they ran, including the trade-offs and challenges, learning what worked and what didn’t. We will explore how small UI tweaks, working with data, and understanding the cultural context can drive growth, even if you do not have a large analytics team or advanced testing tools. FLORIAN BONNET (VP Solutions & Growth at Veriff): **How to turn oproduct work into revenue outcomes with KPI trees** Product teams often track many metrics but struggle to clearly connect their work to business impact. This talk introduces North Star Metrics and KPI Trees as a practical framework for understanding product performance, customer behavior, and the levers that drive revenue outcomes. Florian will walk through how effective KPI Trees are structured, how North Star Metrics are typically defined across different contexts, and why this approach works for organizations of any size or model. Through concrete examples, you’ll see how KPI Trees can go beyond performance tracking to help translate product metrics into the language of business — bridging the gap that often exists between product teams and leadership. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model of how outcome-driven product organizations connect day-to-day work to measurable business results.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? 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. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
