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.

**How does a TennisColumbus Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - June 10th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisColumbus doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisColumbus sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join)** Full price is $39.95 to play in a season.
