We see a diverse range of folk attending from those looking to enter the product world, CPOs, entrepreneurs, devs, designers, and technology enthusiasts.
Whether you're there to get advice on an idea or a pain point, hoping to understand more about what other PMs are doing or simply looking to share a beer with some fellow product people, we'd love to see you there.

Reiki Energy Healing Sessions ā Porto & Online
Have you ever felt like someone could sense whatās happening inside you ā even before you say a word?
Thatās often how people describe sessions with me.
I offer **trauma-aware Reiki energy healing** that combines energy work, somatic awareness, and intuitive perception to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and deeper clarity.
Each session adapts to **what your system is ready to process**. Some sessions bring deep relaxation and regulation, while others create emotional release or insight.
### Reiki Energy Session ā ā¬40
A full Reiki energy healing session focused purely on **the energy work itself**.
We begin with a short conversation about how youāre feeling or what youād like to focus on. Then you relax while I channel Reiki energy.
This option focuses primarily on **energetic healing and regulation**, without extended intuitive guidance or deeper analysis during the session.
Duration: \~1 hour
### Reiki Energy Healing + Guidance ā ā¬60
This session includes the **same Reiki energy healing**, with additional intuitive insights and reflections about emotional patterns, blockages, or themes that may arise during the session.
In addition to the energy work, I may share:
⢠intuitive observations about patterns or emotional dynamics
⢠somatic impressions that appear during the session
⢠reflections that help bring clarity to recurring situations
This option is ideal if you're looking for **both healing and deeper understanding of what is surfacing internally**.
Duration: \~1 hour
# What Reiki Can Support
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy practice that supports balance in the bodyās energy system.
Sessions may help with:
⢠emotional regulation
⢠stress or burnout
⢠releasing stored tension
⢠feeling more grounded and present
⢠gaining clarity around recurring patterns
⢠reconnecting with your intuition
You donāt need to believe in anything for Reiki to work ā the energy simply supports your system in restoring balance.

Private Substance Misuse Support Group
This group is a private substance misuse support group, for individuals who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship with drugs/alcohol. The group is facilitated by a trained and qualified Janus worker.
This group is designed to offer support, encouragement and to provide a forum, that allows you to make informed choices.
The objective of this group is to liberate you from the labels of addiction, dependency, illness sickness and "disease", replacing them with the more proactive terminology of choice, responsibility, self control and decision making.
Janus does not use the 12 step model. It uses the Janus approach to working with substance use called "The Resonance Factor" http://bit.ly/Resonance_blog
Hopefully you will find these groups informative, innovative and creative.
Before entering this group could you contact CHRISTOPHER ROBIN on 07515663621 to discuss the finer details regarding payment and room number in the venue etc.

**From "Trust Then Verify" to "Verify Then Trust": Securing the AI-Accelerated Software Supply Chain (Meghan McGowan, Cloudsmith)**
With AI accelerating code generation and GitOps driving continuous deployments, testing is under more pressure than ever to keep up.
Ole will take a step back to see whatās driving the evolution of testing as adoption of Cloud Native technologies and AI for code generation attempts to drive velocity through the roof. How can engineering and platform teams deliver on the need for continuous testing as a scalable approach to quality assurance across the enterprise? And how can DevOps teams leverage AI in testing pipelines for root-cause analysis, automated remediation and intelligent test scheduling - to help push the AI-infused velocity of their dev teams all the way into production?
*Ole started building with XML APIs in the late 90:ies and has since then worked with multiple technologies and startups, most notably as creator of SoapUI in 2004 and Chairman of the Swagger / OpenAPI Initiative in 2015. He joined Testkube at its inception in 2021 and is now entirely focused on ensuring its success at bringing continuous testing to the cloud-native space. When not at his laptop he can be found playing a guitar or riding a bike, but rarely both at the same time.*
**Keeping Up: Testing in the Age of AI and Cloud-Native (Ole Lensmar, Testkube)**
AI has made software teams faster than ever, but it's also quietly outpacing the security and infrastructure built to support them. Drawing on findings from Cloudsmith's 2026 Artifact Management Report, a survey of 505 engineering practitioners across technology, finance, healthcare, and retail, this session examines the compounding challenges that come with near-universal AI code adoption: expanded attack surfaces, hallucinated dependencies, fragmented AI model governance, and the growing operational tax of manual security remediation on top of aging infrastructure.
The session moves from data to diagnosis to direction, challenging teams to rethink a foundational assumption ā that you can trust code first and verify it later. At AI scale, that posture is no longer safe. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where the industry's most critical gaps are, how their peers are investing in 2026, and three concrete questions they can bring back to their own teams to identify where to act first.
*Meghan McGowan is Principal Product Marketing Manager at Cloudsmith. Before joining Cloudsmith, Meghan spent nearly a decade in the cybersecurity industry focused on security integrations and automation, helping teams operationalize tooling that actually fits their workflows.*
*Based in London, she also worked closely on how threat intelligence can be applied to meet specific regulatory requirements, particularly NIS2 and DORA, giving her a grounded understanding of both the technical and compliance dimensions of modern software security.*āØ
*About Cloudsmith: Cloudsmith is a fully managed, cloud-native artifact management platform that gives engineering teams a single, secure source of truth for all their software artifacts: packages, containers, binaries, and AI/ML models. Built for the scale and speed of modern software delivery, Cloudsmith provides universal repository support, automated security scanning, and policy enforcement at ingestion needed to meet today's compliance requirements.*

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably āyesā, but weāre not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup weāve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
Sheāll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so weāre guessing thereās more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and scienceāusing data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasualās Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
