Ti invitiamo a un nuovo MeetUp a **Monza**, organizzato dal nostro partner BlueIT in collaborazione con Wazuh.
Partecipa a un’esclusiva round table dedicata al tema “*Ripensare il ruolo del SIEM nell’era dell’AI*”, pensata per offrire un confronto diretto e interattivo sui nuovi scenari della cybersecurity e dell’intelligenza artificiale. L’evento rappresenta un’opportunità unica per dialogare con Francesco Sartini in un contesto più ristretto e partecipativo, favorendo lo scambio di idee, esperienze e best practice tra professionisti del settore.
Durante l’incontro, i partecipanti potranno approfondire il ruolo del SIEM nell’era dell’AI, condividere punti di vista con altri esperti e contribuire alla crescita della community Wazuh insieme a BlueIT.

Claude Code: quello che avrei voluto sapere prima
Per un periodo ho ignorato Claude Code perché, fuori dai test automatici, mi sembrava più un freno che un aiuto.
Poi qualcosa è cambiato: oggi lo uso per praticamente tutto. Compresa questa descrizione 😅
👉 **Meetup gratuito** — registrazione obbligatoria
🕡 Doors open: 19:00
🕖 Talk start: 19:15
🧠 Di cosa parleremo
* Come ho adattato Claude Code al mio modo di lavorare
*Custom commands, skills e gli strumenti CLI che ormai considero indispensabili.*
* Le cose che mi hanno fatto fare il salto di qualità
*dai file CLAUDE.md scritti bene al vero utilizzo del Plan Mode.*
* Gli errori da evitare all’inizio
*Subagents vs Agent Teams, aspettative sbagliate e alcune lezioni imparate nel modo difficile.*
👤 Speaker
**Michele Sangalli** è Software Engineer in Trustfull.
Lavora principalmente con PHP, TypeScript e Python, si occupa spesso di AWS e architetture serverless ed è organizer del PUG Milano.

Public Speaking Lab: Parla in pubblico con sicurezza (IT/EN)
**Basta libri. Basta corsi. Inizia a parlare!**
Puoi leggere 100 libri sul public speaking, ma non imparerai mai finché **non sali su un palco**. The Xplorers Toastmasters Club Milano è proprio questo: una **palestra di Public speaking** bilingue (IT/EN) dove puoi metterti in gioco, sbagliare e migliorare.
Che tu sia un manager, uno studente o semplicemente una persona che vuole vincere la paura di parlare in pubblico, questa è la serata giusta per te.
**📅 COSA ASPETTARSI:**
Toastmasters international è un'associazione nata negli Stati Uniti più di 100 anni fa. Ogni serata di ogni Club del mondo è strutturata in tre parti:
1. **Discorsi Preparati:** I nostri soci presentano discorsi su vari argomenti per allenare le loro skill (Storytelling, body language, struttura).
2. **Improvvisazione (Table Topics)\*:** Esercizi di improvvisazione per imparare a rispondere con sicurezza a ogni domanda.
3. **Valutazioni:** Ogni speaker riceve da un altro socio un feedback costruttivo per capire cosa ha fatto bene e cosa può migliorare.
*\*Nota:* Anche gli ospiti possono provare a buttarsi, ma **solo se lo desiderano**. Nessuno ti forzerà!
**📍 DOVE E QUANDO:**
Ci troviamo allo Spazio OiT (Via Porpora 14, zona Loreto) ogni 1° e 3° mercoledì del mese.
* Ore **19:00**: Networking e accoglienza.

Clay & Glow — Earrings + Resin Jewelry Dish Workshop 19.06
A little time for you, your hands, and people who get your vibe.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own pair of polymer clay earrings — playful, bold, or minimal, totally your call — and craft a resin jewelry dish for your nightstand, the perfect home for your everyday pieces.
No experience needed. Just show up, slow down, and let your creativity do its thing.
This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to meet like-minded women, share a relaxed moment, and reconnect with your creative side (the one that usually gets lost between to-do lists).
We’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll have full freedom to experiment, mix colors, and create pieces that actually feel like you.
And yes — there’s a little aperitivo, because good conversations (and good ideas) need fuel.
What you’ll create:
A pair of handmade polymer clay earrings
A resin jewelry dish for your bedside or vanity
Where: Kookie LAB
Vibe: relaxed, creative, social (but not awkward)
Come alone or bring a friend — either way, you won’t feel like the odd one out.
✨ All materials included
✨ Duration: 2 hours
✨ Language: English

Tech Startups on the Terrace - Milan (6 PM CET) - New Location - Open by Joivy
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups on the Terrace - Milan Edition!** 🍻
Hey there! 🌟
We have found a new location that suits out networking needs!
Allora, we'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Terrace*.
The event is scheduled for **6 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events in GMT. Thus, you will see the invitation for 7 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier, since the place will be closed from 9-9:30 PM.
It's a relaxed and refreshing evening at the **Porta Romana**, in a lovely **coworking space Open by Joivy**, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London, and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community.
Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.
**House Rules:**
* Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The place owners know we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily.
* No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together.
* Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation.
Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

Tre pochezze al microfono – Stand-up comedy gratuito
**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/tre-pochezze-al-microfono-stand-up-comedy-gratuito-tickets-1990963902628?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
**LO SPETTACOLO**
Tre comedians si alternano sul palco tra stand-up comedy e comedy shorts per raccontare il caos contemporaneo attraverso piccole storie di quotidiano fallimento.
Tra battute taglienti — anche scorrette, perché nella stand-up non esistono filtri né censure — ed esilaranti short reading, prende forma un racconto di “bassa cultura” che celebra con orgoglio quell’alta ignoranza di cui, in fondo, tutti noi faremmo volentieri a meno.
Una serata comica in cui i tre comedian-reader mettono in scena sé stessi e un’esistenza al limite, per farci ridere e riflettere sulla nostra irresistibile pochezza.
Soluzioni zero, problemi tantissimi, ti aspettiamo per condividere insieme il disagio contemporaneo.
**I COMICI**
**Gianni Cuomo**
Teatrante, ha studiato lettura espressiva per dare tensione narrativa a tutto ciò che legge comprese le analisi del sangue. Scrittore e interprete di reading comici e teatrali, è stato definito dalla critica “un caso letterario che non farà mai parlare di sé”. Improvvisa nella vita come sul palco grazie all’improvvisazione teatrale e si presenta anche come MC di stand-up comedy perché oggi è di moda.
**Mateo Çili**
Attore, regista di teatro e cinema, insegnante di recitazione, autore cinematografico, musicista e poeta albanese. Le sue radici balcaniche gli hanno permesso di attecchire in ogni ambito artistico nel quale si sia cimentato e dato che la stand-up comedy non fa eccezione. Recita poesie piene di memoria e risentimento accumulati negli anni in cui ha vissuto in Italia.
**Daniele Bedon**
Dipendente pubblico, autore di articoli sportivi, comico. Difensore dello stoicismo autentico, però che fatica. Prova ad andare d’accordo con tutti, però che fatica.
**Lo spettacolo sarà gratuito.**
Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione “Dora e Pajtimit” APS. Il tesseramento all’Associazione, del costo di 5€ (con un drink incluso), è obbligatorio e ha la durata di 1 anno. Per il pre-tesseramento: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep)**

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
