**Important:** This event will happen in real life in Copenhagen. **Venue:** Saga (boat), Havnegade 31Z – Kajplads 140, 1058 København K, [sagaboat.dk](https://sagaboat.dk) **Scaling in the Real World** *What the Playbooks Don’t Tell You* Real stories, messy trade-offs, and scaling lessons you won’t find in a framework. Most talks about scaling sound the same: clean diagrams, neat playbooks, and tidy case studies. This meetup is about everything that doesn’t fit on the slide. We’ll hear from product leaders who have scaled teams, products, and customers in the real world—with all the chaos, contradictions, and uncomfortable decisions that come with it. Expect candid stories about what actually broke as things grew: processes that didn’t survive contact with reality, “best practices” that backfired, and the trade-offs they’d make differently today. You’ll walk away with concrete, experience-based tactics you can apply in your own company right now: * How scaling really feels from the inside (not just in diagrams) * What to do when bigger customers and bigger teams pull you in different directions * How to choose which fires to fight, and which chaos you can live with * Where popular scaling advice misleads—and how to adapt it to your context Come if you’re in the middle of scaling, about to hit that stage, or just tired of polished stories that skip the hard parts. We will have two exciting speakers lined up, each offering a unique perspective on scaling products teams and surviving it. Speakers are: 1. **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos Morten’s experience at Zendesk, Google, and major silicon valley companies – and now in Denmark working for Syndicate – has given him a front-row seat to the chaos behind scaling. Morten will unpack the gap between theory and reality, and talk about what really happens when growth leads to bigger customers, larger teams, and brand new problems. 2. **Pernille Trolle Brøgaard** \- Scaling Without Breaking Your Teams In this talk, Pernille shares concrete stories from leading product organisations through a major platform migration, acquisitions, and cross-market scaling — including the deliberate choice to accept a traffic drop on dba.dk to enable a more scalable future. She walks through how the org handled tension between teams and stakeholders, big differences in team maturity, and the constant pull between short-term delivery and long-term sustainability. Rather than theory or playbooks, this session focuses on practical decisions, real constraints, and what the teams actually did when things got difficult. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or a team member navigating high-speed product environments, this event will offer grounded, real-world insights into what it takes to succeed under pressure. Join us at **Product Loop** for an evening of honest talks, practical takeaways, and good conversations with fellow product and design professionals. The event is powered by [Learning Loop](https://learningloop.io/). Sponsored by [syndicate.dk](https://www.syndicate.dk/) – the only real product coaching company. **AGENDA:** * Intro (and who’s participating) * **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos * Beer break * **Second speaker** * More Networking * Thanks for tonight **Keywords:** leadership, scaling, delivery focus, strategy shift, team alignment, sustainable pace, resilience, team topologies, product operating model, productivity, team collaboration, rapid prototyping, venture studios

Join us when Jakob Schmid takes us through the audio of antique video games. The early years of video games, the 1970s and 1980s, were an era of intense innovation in game hardware and software. Jakob always had a particular fondness for the games of this era, and has often used them as inspiration for his own projects. For instance, the 1981 arcade game Defender was a big inspiration for the music and sound of COCOON. Together, we will look at a selection of these video game antiques, from the time when sound effects, ambience, voice synthesis, and interactive and adaptive music were first invented for the medium. The implementation techniques were varied and unique - sound was produced from custom audio chips, software synthesis, discrete hardware components, cassette tapes, or even mechanical percussive devices. We will pick out a few examples of these techniques and go a little deeper into how they work. We hope the talk will inspire you to look at the earliest video games with new eyes - as inspiration for your future work. **Where:** Unity, Niels Hemmingsens Gade 24, 1153 Copenhagen **When:** Wednesday, January 21st 2026, 18.30 – 21.30 **Schedule:** 18:00: Entrance with complimentary snacks and drinks 18:30: Presentation by Jakob Schmid 19.30: Break 19.45: Q&A 20:30: Drinks & mingle 21:00: Thank you for tonight.

**IMPORTANT:** This event is free, but you need to register here so we can provide access to the space: https://forms.gle/MwT2n74STmdTV6im7 Join the UXDX Copenhagen community for an evening exploring how design, product, UX and engineering choices shape the world we build. This event brings together two thought provoking talks on the political dimensions of UX and the human qualities that differentiate us in a tech driven era. ## **✨ Talks** ### **UX is Always Political** **Cecilia Fernández – Product Manager, Mastercard** Every button placement, every default and every so called intuitive flow carries an opinion. UX is rarely neutral. Cecilia will break down the hidden power structures behind everyday design decisions, from bias in AI interfaces to dark patterns that influence behaviour. You will walk away with a sharper lens on how design can empower or exclude and how to create more ethical, inclusive digital experiences. ### **Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days** **Caroline Ardvisson – Design Leader** Caroline explores what it means to stay human in a world increasingly shaped by technology. Drawing on her work and cultural references including Jørgen Leth’s *The Perfect Human*, she reflects on the analogue, emotional and interpretive aspects of being human that machines cannot replicate. The talk offers a grounded, optimistic view of the future of design and the enduring qualities that set us apart. ## **📅 Agenda** **16:45 – 17:20** Registration and welcome **17:20 – 17:30** Introduction from the UXDX Ambassador- Tasha Melchior **17:30 – 18:15** UX is Always Political – Cecilia Fernández **18:15 – 19:00** Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days – Caroline Ardvisson **19:00 – 19:30** Networking and close ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

Thanks for a great meeting the last time! This meeting uses this short(about 5 minutes) video from The School of Life catalogue as a starting point for the conversation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz3iU3LWRM8 Please watch it before the event as the discussion will be based on this. However, if for some reason you don't manage to watch the video, show up, I will provide the summary. The video only serves as an entry point to the conversation but we together determine where it goes from there. :) If you can't find us please call me on 28994807. :) Thanks for now Abdul

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.

Come join us for an afternoon run/jog/walk Please note this will be an A to B trail. Trail being nearby. Remember spare warm clothes for after the famous annual eventfull trail. We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 14:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!
