**RUN THE CITY. MEET THE WORLD.** We launched something new - and what a success it was! With up to 40 people we run beautiful routes through Copenhagen on our social runs - and you're invited to be part of the next edition. In the future, we will post and track our runs on CYKOM (platform/app), as we thereby have the opportunity to get connected with brands to elevate our runs and maybe provide us with some drinks or similar occasionally. To establish this well it would be great if you can take a minute and join our running community there and also join the next run via the following link: https://app.cykom.com/LJUg/o7izxl02 **DEAR WORLD RUNS** is for those who want to move, connect, and feel the city in motion. Whether you're a regular runner or just curious to join, this is your moment. 🏃‍♂️ **The Run** • Friendly but fun pace around 6:15 min/km to be able to chat but with ambition • Approx. 5–6 km, accessible for most • You don’t need to be “fast” - just bring energy ☕ **The Vibe** • Post-run coffee/tea included & hangout at Nomad Day Bar in the 25hours hotel on beautiful Paper Island • Come solo or bring a friend - we’ll make it social • Led by the Dear World crew you can leave your belongings that you don’t want to take along the run with the venue which will secure it while we are gone. 📍**Where & When** Nomad Day Bar / 25hours Hotel Paper Island 🗓️ Tuesday every 2 weeks 🕙 18:00H sharp (meet from 17:45) **We run the city - join us.** Let’s make this the start of something that moves us all. #DWRuns #DearWorldCPH

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6:30 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

....aaaaand we are back in the water also this year!!! Kayaking around the city channels is one of the most enjoyable activities in Copenhagen on a sunny day. GreenKayak, a NGO dedicated to raise awareness to ocean pollution, makes few (open) kayaks available across the city to paddle and help collecting waste floating in the water. Open kayaks are typically easier to manovre than other types, and do not require EPP2/EPP3 patents. I booked 2 double kayaks for 4 ppl in total. It is possible to use the facilities at Kayak Republic free of charge: restrooms, lockers and showers. **REQUIREMENT** \- Safety first \- Need to be able to swim comfortably \- Waterproof gear preferable \- Sun lotion and sunglasses \- Change of clothes in case yours get a bit wet during paddling \- Towel\, if you want to shower or just in case **COST** Unfortunately, due to the frequent last minute cancellation last summer, it was challenging backfilling participants with short or no notice, and it was very disrespectful to the group and GreenKayak NGO. **To reserve your spot, please transfer 150 kr. to my mobilepay 25717293**. The amount will be returned to you if you show up on time, or the event is cancelled for other reasons; **this remains a free non-profit event**. The kayak rental is free of charge provided that: \- we are able to pick\-up some waste during our paddling activity \- we share our experience on the So\.Me \#GreenKayak **AGENDA** 11:50- Meet up - please be on time 🙂 11:50-12:00 Briefing and getting ready 12-00-13:45 Paddling around Copenhagen channels and return to the start point 13:45-14:00 Return the equipment to Kayak Republic **DISCOMFORT LEVEL** \- 3/5 **TO LEARN MORE** [GreenKayak](https://www.greenkayak.org/)

Tickets here: [www.TheSilvers.dk](www.thesilvers.dk) Here in Copenhagen we have started a movement of weekly dinners (on a Wednesday) hosted by the senior generation in their own homes. Seniors with 60+ years of life experience who are community leaders, intellectuals, artists, storytellers, and want to share their experience over dinners for a small group each time. Every Wednesday there is dinner hosted by a different Silver (senior host) who will open their front door, welcome a group of 5-8 people into their home, and share their stories, knowledge, and connections across the table over a themed evening. Each host chooses their own theme and it is the aim to pass on their hard-earned knowledge.

**Join us at AI Meetup Copenhagen 21/05/2026** Connect with innovators, designers, academics, suits and developers in a relaxed and positive environment. Enjoy talks from exciting speakers and demo your own ideas on stage. Be a part of our vibrant community! This is a multidisciplinary community and meetup for innovators, creators, and techies who are passionate about learning and talking about artificial intelligence. The event is open from 16:45. The program starts 17:15. **Lightning talks (15 minutes)** * Ali Reza Farahnak, Senior AI Architect, Microsoft * Kræn Hansen, Developer Experience Engineer, Eleven Labs * Daniella Feiglin, Product Manager, Tactile Games * Olga Safonova, Lead Product Manager, Public 360° at Tieto ***SPEAKER BIOS & TOPICS:*** **[Ali Reza Farahnak](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/alirezafarahnak)** is a Senior AI Architect at [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/), focused on AI, Azure, and GitHub. For the past 7 years he has worked out of Microsoft's Global Customer Success organization in Redmond with some of the world's largest customers, including Tesla, NEOM, the London Stock Exchange, Bank of America, Emirates, Aramco, Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and several governments. Since January 2026, he has been part of Customer Success in Denmark, helping Danish enterprises turn generative AI into production-ready solutions. Topic: Most enterprise AI apps stop at the chat window, but your customers are on the phone, on WhatsApp, on SMS, in their inbox, and inside Teams. Ali shows how Azure Communication Services lets a single AI app reach customers across all of those channels, with a live demo of an outbound Danish speaking voice agent, similar to what has been built for the insurance industry, Vodafone Qatar, Norlys and many more, that calls a customer, runs a light identity check, and has a real conversation powered by Azure Voice Live and gpt-realtime-1.5. **[Kræn Hansen](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/kraenhansen)** is a Developer Experience Engineer at voice AI startup [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) where he builds [SDKs](https://elevenlabs.io/blog/elevenagents-react-sdk-v1-0) to enable text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice-cloning on the real-time ElevenAgents platform. He formerly worked at MongoDB, building a local-first database and sync engine called Realm. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Topic: "We talk to AI every day, but when we switch from typing to speaking, the rules change. A half-second delay breaks the illusion of conversation. In this talk, I'll take you behind the scenes of how voice agents actually work: what makes a voice conversation feel natural, why latency is the enemy, and the different ways you can deploy voice AI, from fully managed platforms to bringing your own AI model. Whether you're building with voice AI or just curious about where it's heading, you'll walk away understanding what's really going on when you talk to a machine." **[Daniella Feiglin](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/daniella-feiglin)** is a Product Manager at [Tactile](https://tactilegames.com/product-manager-at-tactile/), where she works closely with development teams and stakeholders to turn ideas into fully launched game features. She joined the company in August 2025 and brings nearly a decade of experience in the mobile games industry with a background across game design, market research, and product management. At Tactile, she focuses on using data and market insights to shape product decisions and drive impactful player experiences. Topic: A practical, honest look at how day-to-day work changed using Claude Code. Daniella will share how she transitioned to an AI-powered workflow that allows her to prototype features as she specs them, while providing consistent, high-detail output for her development teams at a higher pace. **[Olga Safonova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgasafonova/)** is a product leader with 20+ years in enterprise tech, currently Lead PM for [Public 360°](https://www.tietoevry.com/en/industry/public-360-services/360-case-document-and-records-management/) at Tieto (GovTech, 500K+ users). Previously at Siteimprove, Workday, LEO Innovation Lab and Saxo Bank. She also builds: Open-source MCP servers (a few running in production), an OTel observability library for AI tool infrastructure, and SkillCheck (getskillcheck.com). Where most product leaders talk about AI, she ships it on weekends. Topic: From personal OS to team OS - Agentic skills, MCPs and team context. As product manager, Olga shares how she built her own AI tooling: A personal OS of agentic skills, MCP servers, CLIs, and the cross-machine configurations that keeps it coherent. ... ***Venue:*** [Tactile Games](https://tactilegames.com/) \- Vestergade 33\, Copenhagen ***Sponsors:*** Thanks to [Tactile Games](https://tactilegames.com/) for event sponsorship along with sponsoring food, beverages and snacks.

Join us at Unity of Columbus for our Weekly Reiki Share, a peaceful and uplifting gathering for connection, healing, and growth. A Reiki Share is a time where Reiki practitioners and students come together to give and receive healing energy in a supportive and welcoming environment. These sessions will be moderated by Columbus Unity Reiki. Reiki is a hands-on energy healing method from Japan that first came to the United States in 1938. Since then, it has grown in popularity and is now widely practiced throughout the West. All levels are welcome, and you do not need to be a practitioner at Unity of Columbus to attend. If you are a Reiki practitioner, a Reiki student, or simply interested in becoming a Reiki student, we warmly invite you to join us. Come practice your healing techniques, learn new approaches, receive healing energy, and connect with a like-minded community in a space of relaxation, renewal, and positive energy.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
