Free workshop - Make your own radio show!
Radio is everywhere, in the car, in restaurants, at work, at home. Since its invention it did not lose any popularity but to the contrary, more than ever radio stations pop-up across the world, bringing news, stories and music into people’s houses and ears, building communities and connections through sound. Radio broadcasting is connected to power, it has historically often been abused by the ones in power. But the medium of radio has also a long tradition of subversive use, giving marginalized communities a voice and tool to organize.
In the first part of the workshop we will introduce you to radio as a tool. You will learn how to make your own radio show. We will give you a short introduction into the medium and its history, introduce you to the basics hardware setup and help you design your own radio show and your first live broadcast. In order to partake in this workshop you don’t have to bring anything as we have the equipment. During this part we will work in groups.
The second part of the workshop will be broadcasting your own radio show during our radio event from the 10-12th of June. 6 till 10 pm.
Participant Numbers: 10
Part 1 Monday 8th of June, 18:00 till 21:30
Duration 3,5 hours
Part 2 during Radio event 10-12th of June, exact time and date can be discussed.
This workshop is part of a artistic project:
Sophie and Daniël work at the intersection of radio-making, storytelling, role-play and the organising of social spaces. This May they will travel from Hamburg to Athens by train, carrying a mobile radio setup and one central question: How to connect with strangers?
Along the way they will experiment with different ways of making connections. From small games and ice breakers to informal interviews, each prompt becomes its own episode. Together these episodes form a series and the thread running through the whole project, exploring what makes an unexpected conversation possible. The radio functions as a conversation tool, documentation device and publishing platform.
During a three day broadcast they will share their findings and reflections on loneliness, the character of the stranger, and on the small gestures that enable and enhance connections between people. The broadcast days intertwine with workshops built around the toolkit they are developing: a practical, experimental and playful guide on how to build connections, talk to strangers and feel less lonely in this world.

Latinos Night | Kallithea is back every second Friday at El Latino Café Bar — a cozy hidden Latin spot just a short walk from Kallithea Metro 🚇

No tables. No pressure. No boring crowd. Just a vibrant Latin mix, good people, and a night that feels alive.
We are also collaborating with another group to bring in a fresh and diverse mix of people, so every edition feels new, social, and exciting.

Third data Meetup!
Ήρθε η ώρα για το τρίτο data meetup by 3SD! Αυτή τη φορά βρισκόμαστε στο Efood HQ (Λεωφόροσ Ηρακλείου 409, Ν Ηράκλειο) στις 19:00 ώστε να ακούσουμε τον Χρήστο Γεωργακόπουλο Digital Operations & AI Director, σε ένα εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρον workshop με λίγο από data, λιγο Αι, λίγο marketing. Μετά θα έχουμε ένα ακόμη παιχνίδι που θα σκεφτούμε σύντομα και στο τέλος αράζουμε και τα λέμε!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

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 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.
