It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:** *In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

**✨ Real One-on-One Rounds Online for Burnaby Singles Done Swiping** As a participant, you'll experience quick private Zoom rounds with Burnaby singles matched to you by age and personality, as a friendly host guides every transition. Once you register, you fill in a quick matching survey — your personality profile from that quiz to curate your Burnaby matches by quiz results and age, meaning your rounds are curated and not random. After the session closes, mutual match details are distributed — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and what happens next is entirely up to you. **Age-grouped registration — select yours:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Heads up:** Your rsvp here is not a registration confirmation, so select your bracket link, complete the registration form, and finish the personality quiz — places are capped so do this promptly, and your spot is held only when both steps are done. --- **What to expect** 1. **Grab your spot** – via your age group registration link, then complete the short matching survey, as both steps are required and neither can be skipped. 2. **Log in** – using the video link shared before the session, any device with a camera and mic is all you need, and round management is all on the host from there. 3. **Date** – short Zoom speed dating rounds with Burnaby area singles in your age range, as the host signals round starts and ends, because the format is built so every round is worth having. 4. **See your results** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, and only confirmed mutual matches receive each other's contact details, and everything from that point is on your schedule. **Best suited to:** - People within Burnaby wanting to escape matches that fade out before meeting and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Singles calling Burnaby home moving beyond dating apps that go nowhere and are serious about meeting someone. - Someone based in Burnaby wanting to escape conversations that fizzle before a first date and are ready for a genuine first impression. ⭐ *"Not what I expected at all — better than every app I have tried"* – Burnaby local who came sceptical 💡 **Good to know:** check your Zoom setup in advance, because good audio is just as important as good video, and the host handles everything else from that point. --- ✨ Real conversations from home — register via your age group link and we will set the rest up for you in your own time. Can not wait to see you there. 💘 ✨

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.
