The annual ICW Snow Weekend takes place in Unterwasser / Chäserrugg. Unterwasser is a village in Toggenburg in Canton St. Gallen. https://www.chaeserrugg.ch/en It is about 1 hour and 40 minutes with public transport from Winterthur to the Talstation Unterwasser. From the valley station Unterwasser we can take the new funicular to Chäserrugg. At Chäserrugg we can do all sorts of snow based activities. As always it is a very relaxed weekend, feel free to come along for as much of the weekend as you want and do whatever you want. How it is going to work: Suzanne and Catherine have booked a room in Hotel Sternen in Unterwasser https://www.sternen.biz/en/home-en/ and will be there from about 5:00 pm Friday evening. There are three fixed points you need to know about for the rest of the weekend: On Saturday morning we will all meet at 10:30 at hotel Sternen reception. After we meet, people will be free to split up and do whatever activities they want. **Please book your hire gear, lessons, ski tickets yourself.** On Saturday evening we will book a table at the restaurant in the hotel Sternen for 19:00h for anyone who wants to join us. On Sunday morning we will meet again at hotel Sternen. What you need to do, if you want to join us. 1 - Decide when you are coming, just for a day or for the whole weekend, or whatever you want. 2 - Accept the meetup invite and write a comment or send a message to Suzanne or Catherine saying when you are coming. They will book a table for everyone for dinner for Saturday night, so please let Suzanne or Catherine know if you do **NOT** want to join us for that. 3 - Book your hotel. The hotel Sternen in Unterwasser is central, looks the biggest and at time of writing has rooms free. 4 - Decide on your travel arrangements. You can come by public transport or drive to Unterwasser. That's it! One thing to remember, we are not teachers or guides. This trip will be a group of friends going away for the weekend, so we and the club assume no responsibility for you. That said, Swiss mountain resorts are well organised, with good signs and well cleared trails. If you haven't been on this sort of weekend before, feel free to talk to Suzanne or Catherine about it.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

SQL Server 2025 delivers a major round of improvements across performance, security, manageability, and hybrid connectivity, and this session gives you a practical, no‑nonsense tour of what matters most. We’ll cover enhancements to the core engine, query processing, storage, and availability that benefit DBAs and developers regardless of where SQL Server runs. You’ll see how SQL Server 2025 aligns with Azure SQL’s roadmap while still supporting strong on‑premises and VM‑based deployments. We’ll highlight new management, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities designed to simplify operations and reduce firefighting. AI‑powered features exist in this release, but the focus here is on the foundational improvements you can use immediately. Whether you’re modernizing, maintaining, or planning your next upgrade cycle, this session will help you understand what’s new and how to prepare your environment and your team.

**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!** On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year! We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim. Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets. He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description! All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2026 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO. Check out [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com) for more information.
