đ Argentine Tango â The dancing Embraceâš
đȘđžEspañol Abajo đ
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home â yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land â through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
đč **What to expect?**
âïž Discover tango as a social language â not just a dance
âïž Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
âïž The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
âïž No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
đ **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Weâll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
đ° **How much?** 12.000$ Limited spots available âš
Please confirm your participation via WhatsApp until max. 24 hours before the class, so I can prepare the space accordingly. Send your message to +54911 6996 7828 (Valerie)
đđŒââïž **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld â tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
đ **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
â **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de CafĂ© and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires â and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
âš See you on the dance floor!

Microsoft Build - Columbus Edition!
We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio!
The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us!
And yes, there will be free food.
Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).
Battle of the personal agents
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 youâre running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
Weâre interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how itâs hosted and managed, how you built it, and why youâve 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 youâd like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyoneâs demonstrations.
Come ready to show what youâve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether youâre deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
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!
Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, we will meet in the 700N Conference Room at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy for a special Louisville .NET Meetup as we host **Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville**. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentation will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. TEKsystems will provide food, so please RSVP to help us plan appropriately.
The session will also be streamed at **[https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode](https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode)**.
This month, weâll dive into the most important announcements from **Microsoft Build 2026**. Chad Green will present a curated, developerâfocused walkthrough of the new capabilities across .NET, Azure, AI, developer tooling, and platform updates. Weâll explore what these announcements mean for architects and developers, how they fit into realâworld solutions, and which changes you can start applying immediately in your projects.
And then, Rob Richardson will present:
### **GitOps: Easy Deploy and Even Easier Rollback**
GitOps isn't just for containers. The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques.
**Important:** To participate fully, please RSVP in **both** places:
* **Louisville .NET Meetup** (this page)
* **Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville registration**: [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/)
After the session, weâll head to Brick House Tavern to continue the conversation over food and drinks.
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the worldâs largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping whatâs possible. Since then, weâve built a suite of AIâdriven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomesâaccelerating benefits decisions for our Nationâs Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcomeâdriven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
