This is a multidisciplinary community and meetup for innovators, creators, and techies who are passionate about learning and talking about artificial intelligence. The event is open from 16:45. The program starts 17:15. **Lightning talks (15 minutes)** * Ali Reza Farahnak, Senior AI Architect, Microsoft * Kræn Hansen, Developer Experience Engineer, Eleven Labs * Daniella Feiglin, Product Manager, Tactile Games * Olga Safonova, Lead Product Manager, Public 360° at Tieto ***SPEAKER BIOS & TOPICS:*** **[Ali Reza Farahnak](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/alirezafarahnak)** is a Senior AI Architect at [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/), focused on AI, Azure, and GitHub. For the past 7 years he has worked out of Microsoft's Global Customer Success organization in Redmond with some of the world's largest customers, including Tesla, NEOM, the London Stock Exchange, Bank of America, Emirates, Aramco, Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and several governments. Since January 2026, he has been part of Customer Success in Denmark, helping Danish enterprises turn generative AI into production-ready solutions. Topic: Most enterprise AI apps stop at the chat window, but your customers are on the phone, on WhatsApp, on SMS, in their inbox, and inside Teams. Ali shows how Azure Communication Services lets a single AI app reach customers across all of those channels, with a live demo of an outbound Danish speaking voice agent, similar to what has been built for the insurance industry, Vodafone Qatar, Norlys and many more, that calls a customer, runs a light identity check, and has a real conversation powered by Azure Voice Live and gpt-realtime-1.5. **[Kræn Hansen](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/kraenhansen)** is a Developer Experience Engineer at voice AI startup [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) where he builds [SDKs](https://elevenlabs.io/blog/elevenagents-react-sdk-v1-0) to enable text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice-cloning on the real-time ElevenAgents platform. He formerly worked at MongoDB, building a local-first database and sync engine called Realm. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Topic: "We talk to AI every day, but when we switch from typing to speaking, the rules change. A half-second delay breaks the illusion of conversation. In this talk, I'll take you behind the scenes of how voice agents actually work: what makes a voice conversation feel natural, why latency is the enemy, and the different ways you can deploy voice AI, from fully managed platforms to bringing your own AI model. Whether you're building with voice AI or just curious about where it's heading, you'll walk away understanding what's really going on when you talk to a machine." **[Daniella Feiglin](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/daniella-feiglin)** is a Product Manager at [Tactile](https://tactilegames.com/product-manager-at-tactile/), where she works closely with development teams and stakeholders to turn ideas into fully launched game features. She joined the company in August 2025 and brings nearly a decade of experience in the mobile games industry with a background across game design, market research, and product management. At Tactile, she focuses on using data and market insights to shape product decisions and drive impactful player experiences. Topic: A practical, honest look at how day-to-day work changed using Claude Code. Daniella will share how she transitioned to an AI-powered workflow that allows her to prototype features as she specs them, while providing consistent, high-detail output for her development teams at a higher pace. **[Olga Safonova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgasafonova/)** is a product leader with 20+ years in enterprise tech, currently Lead PM for [Public 360°](https://www.tietoevry.com/en/industry/public-360-services/360-case-document-and-records-management/) at Tieto (GovTech, 500K+ users). Previously at Siteimprove, Workday, LEO Innovation Lab and Saxo Bank. She also builds: Open-source MCP servers (a few running in production), an OTel observability library for AI tool infrastructure, and SkillCheck (getskillcheck.com). Where most product leaders talk about AI, she ships it on weekends. Topic: From personal OS to team OS - Agentic skills, MCPs and team context. As product manager, Olga shares how she built her own AI tooling: A personal OS of agentic skills, MCP servers, CLIs, and the cross-machine configurations that keeps it coherent. ... ***Venue:*** [Tactile Games](https://tactilegames.com/) \- Vestergade 33\, Copenhagen ***Sponsors:*** Thanks to [Tactile Games](https://tactilegames.com/) for event sponsorship along with sponsoring food, beverages and snacks.

Hey Randoms, Here we go again! The classic hike through the National Park in Sweden - Söderåsen - but with a twist. We now go hard, and complete it in 2 days, 1 night! We meet in CPH Central station and ride the train together. The hiking starts once we get off the train in Åstorp and finish Sunday in Höör. Both towns have decent train connections, and tickets are available from skånetrafiken.se **The Hike** There are pretty good water posts along the way. In several cases, the wells are shallow and the water is not safe to drink without filtering or some other type of purification. You need to bring a system for that, or let me know if you need support. Don't expect any food resupply options. Breaks will be short, no cooking. Food intake mostly happens as we walk, not stopping. Cooking is an option in camp, after the hike - as per your individual preference. We stop for foot maintenance as often as needed - be proactive, do not expect hot spots and blister candidates to go away. It's better to stop and tape it up. We are not likely to get a shelter. Bring a tent, hammock, tarp or similar. **Bailing out?** Bailing out is tricky on this one, and in case you want to bail you need to manage all navigation and logistics yourself - we don't have a support team er pre-planned exit options. **Randoms Rules Apply** Also, be aware that this hike is a Randoms hike, so the usual rules apply. This is not an easy hike, and we will get tired. Please be aware that this is a group hike. We hike together, we hike at pace of the slowest hiker. We all need to manage the gap behind us - not the gap in front of us. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. Group hike, we stick together, no gaps. This helps us achieve flow. And flow means a better average pace over time. **Flow** Try to keep your pack on during very short breaks. E.g. when somebody ties a shoe lace or does a quick change of clothes or socks, or stops for a second to grab something from the pack. When packs drop, it can take quite a while to mobilize the group again, and the breaks tend to add up to a very long day, increasing overall fatigue. Also, make sure to have your water and snacks available - without having to take off your pack. This has great impact on flow. Flow is faster over time. And flow means less fatigue. Less fatigue means a better experience. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. And as usual, you need to come self-supported. As if you were going solo. **Train details - from Copenhagen** 8:30 departure Öresundståg 1034 - platform: check information screens 9:54 we get off at Helsingborg station 10:18 departure from Helsingborg station Skånetrafiken Train 1812 10:43 we get off at Åstorp station - and hike! Tickets: Skånetrafiken mobile app is recommended. **The plan** Saturday: 51 KM Sunday: 30 KM - train home from Höör.

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.

Stop by and meet people in a positive and save space, very Friday at 8:30 pm just after our abstract workshop we start our **Speed Portrait and Cocktails event.** Before continuing your journey into the vibrant Copenhagen we invite you for a creative stop, to develop some quality interaction and create a truly hygge atmosphere in an artistic space. Set in a contemporary art gallery turned into a creative studio for the night, our **Speed portrait & cocktails** event blends with the city night life adding to Copenhagen artistic vibe and cozy atmosphere. An event that mixes caribbean hospitality, minimal aesthetic and Copenhagen coziness. As well we offer locals and temporary locals an artistic retreat from the intensity of the city. Note: Some materials are free but not the drinks.

We're continuing with Saturday evening Football / soccer ⚽ The field is not booked and the event is for free 🆓 Usually the field is available at 6 PM, but if it's booked by a local club, we must move. Last minute sign-offs will be banned 🟥 for future games if it happens more than once and no reason is given. The game is for all levels, genders 👦👨 and people wanting to have fun. We keep it friendly and respectful. Everyone who can should bring a ball and a pump. Also don't forget to bring a black and a white T-shirt as we do not have bibs.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Who else is ready to sit outside? Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!

Join us for a relaxed and enjoyable brunch at 17 Arrows Kitchen and Bar! This is a great opportunity to meet new people, enjoy good food, and ease into the weekend with great conversation. Whether you’re new to the group or it’s your first event, you’ll feel right at home.
