Threat Analysis

Join us for the very first Coffee & AI Agents meetup! A relaxed, no-pressure coffee chat to talk about AI agents: what they are today, how they can actually help in work and business, what’s worth designing, where the opportunities and risks are, and how they might fit real workflows. No presentations, no jargon, no sales pitches. Just good coffee, a small group, and open conversation. Who should come: * People interested in AI agents and wanting to discuss designing them (planning workflows, goals, tools, behaviors — no coding needed) * People from any industry who have tasks or processes they'd love to automate with agents and want to connect with others thinking about building them Format: Drop in anytime from 6:00 PM onwards (we'll wrap up naturally around 8:00 PM or when people start heading out). We'll start with quick intros (“What brought you here?” or “One thing you’d love an agent to handle?”) then let the discussion flow freely. **Limited to 10 spots** for a cozy, conversational group — RSVP to secure your place. Venue: ViCafe Europaallee Europaallee 20 8004 Zürich See you there — bring your curiosity and enjoy the coffee! ☕🤖

Ungewissheit, Volatilität und Komplexität nehmen weiterhin zu. Und damit die Anforderungen an wirkungsvolle Führung und Steuerung. Das dreitägige Seminar zum zertifizierten VSM Coach (Metaphorum) bietet eine umfassende Einführung in das Viable System Model (VSM), ein in den 1960er Jahren von Stafford Beer entwickeltes, bewährtes kybernetisches Modell zur Steuerung von Organisationen jeder Grössenordnung. Das Viable System Model bildete u.a. in den 1980er Jahren eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Entwicklung des St. Galler Management Modells durch Hans Ulrich und findet sich in Teilen auch in jüngeren Organisationsmodellen wieder. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz und die sich daraus ergebenden Möglichkeiten für Führung und Steuerung unterstreichen den Wert und die Zeitlosigkeit des universell anwendbaren Modells, das sein Potenzial aus 4 Mrd. Jahren Evolution bezieht. **Ziele des Seminars** Die Teilnehmenden werden umfassend befähigt, Organisationen nach den Prinzipien des Viable System Models systematisch zu analysieren, neu auszurichten und nachhaltig zu optimieren. Sie verstehen und beherrschen die fünf Steuerungsfunktionen der Systeme 1 bis 5 und sind in der Lage, das VSM praktisch anzuwenden und Organisationen effektiv zu transformieren. Damit erreichen sie eine massgeschneiderte und lückenlose Entscheidungs- und Kommunikationsstruktur, die Agilisierung und Effektivierung des Unternehmens, eine klarere Fokussierung auf Kundennutzen, die Sicherstellung von Komplexitätsfähigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Robustheit, die Sicherstellung kontinuierlicher Anpassung (Lernen & Innovieren), die Klarheit über Verantwortung und Voraussetzungen wirksamer Führung, das Ausschöpfen von Verflachungs- und Vereinfachungspotentialen, die Auflösung von Konfliktherden, das Abwerfen von «Organisationsballast» sowie die Auflösung der Kommunikationsblockaden.

Want **more info** than our Summary above? Then please read below: . . . . . **WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment ! . **WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.** . **HOW? Today's activities** are: * **new comer area** (never was easier to spark a conversation, with ice-breakers, optional for first time attendees) * **fun social games** (like "cards against humanity" and more - read game names below) * **mindful games** (no small talk, connect deeper, from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) \- read game names below\) * \*\* 20:00 - 20:30 Speed-friending\*\* (glass room on ground floor) guaranteed process to meet spark new fun discussions and meet new people - with moderator) * \*\* 20:30 - 21:00\*\* **Team Versus Team Playful games** (glass room on ground floor) to stop being so serious, stop adulthood and be silly ! * \*\* 22:00 - 00:00\*\* **Dance Party** (glass room on ground floor) lets dance the week away with reggaeton & hits * beautiful **homey** industrial location in downtown ZH * **German-speaking** area (falls du nur Deutsch sprechen möchtest) * \*\* chill-zones\*\* in private quiet rooms (if you want to talk or play games in quietness) * or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process ❤️ . . . **TIPS on how to connect:** * **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?". * **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities * **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others * **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment * **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet . . **.** **Some final words:** * **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**! * **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected * **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever! * **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities.. * **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new * **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below. * **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.** * more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)** * Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections! * Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️ * Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00** * **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . . . . ``` Disclaimer & participation terms (Connection Space): By registering for and/or attending this event (“Event”), you agree: Registration required.

In dieser Session öffnen wir unsere Vibecode Bar – die offene Runde für alle Fragen und Interessen rund ums VibeCoding. Bring deine Projekte, Probleme oder Ideen mit, und wir schauen gemeinsam darauf. Du brauchst keine Vorkenntnisse. Egal, ob du gerade erst neugierig geworden bist oder schon erste Erfahrungen gesammelt hast – alle sind willkommen. Es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern ums Ausprobieren, Verstehen und Weiterkommen. Vielleicht hast du eine vage Idee, die du endlich konkretisieren willst. Vielleicht steckst du bei einem Projekt fest. Oder du möchtest einfach sehen, wie andere an ihre Themen herangehen. Alles hat Platz. Die Vibecode Bar ist auch ein Ort für Austausch und Vernetzung. Hier triffst du Menschen, die ähnliche Fragen beschäftigen, die experimentieren, testen und dazulernen. Wir teilen Erfahrungen, geben ehrliches Feedback und lernen voneinander. Und weil gute Ideen in entspannter Atmosphäre entstehen, gibt es einen kleinen Apéro mit Snacks. In lockerer Stimmung lässt es sich einfacher fragen, diskutieren und weiterdenken. Kurz: eine offene, unterstützende Runde, in der man sich gegenseitig inspiriert, weiterhilft, neue Kontakte knüpft – und dabei auch noch Spass hat.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
