After our last meetup with nearly 40 attendees, the direction is clear: the n8n community in Zurich is growing – and we're back for round 3.

GitHub Copilot Dev Days - Zurich
Join us for a community-led developer event focused on AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot.
Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development.
**Agenda**
\- 4:30pm: Doors open\, Snacks\, and Networking
\- 5:00pm: Welcome\, Community update
\- 5:10pm\~5:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot overview
\- 5:40pm\~6:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot in Practice
\- 6:40pm\~7:30pm: Open discussion and closing
**Tech talk: Mastering GitHub Copilot CLI**
**Speaker:** Aymen Furter - Cloud & AI Solution Engineer, Microsoft
**Abstract:** Learn to harness the power of agentic development by transitioning to autonomous, multi-step terminal workflows. This session focuses on mastering plan-based execution, repository-aware context, and integrating external data via the Model Context Protocol.
**Tech talk: GitStop Using GitHub Copilot Like a Toy**
**Speaker:** Emanuele Bartolesi - GitHub Tech Lead, Xebia
**Abstract:** GitHub Copilot is easy to love in a demo. Real projects are different. Production codebases come with legacy code, missing context, inconsistent patterns, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure. That is where GitHub Copilot either becomes a real advantage or just an expensive toy. This talk focuses on practical ways to use Copilot in real development workflows, going beyond autocomplete. Agent mode, skills, Copilot CLI, and better prompting can make a real difference when working in messy repositories and under real deadlines. Designed for developers and tech leads who want more than flashy demos, this session shares concrete tactics to get better output, reduce noise, and make Copilot genuinely useful in day-to-day software delivery.
Sketching Together at Kulturhaus am Rigi, Küssnacht am Rigi
A group for artists who are interested in drawing or painting from live models. This is not a class, but an opportunity for you to practice your skills and, if you like, get feedback and ideas from other artists.
We meet at locations that are close to public transport and easily accessible by car. The meetings take place in the evenings or at weekends. All you need to bring is your own paper and drawing materials (we have drawing boards and easels).
The cost for each evening meeting is 10 CHF to cover the cost of the room. Tickets and bookings can be made in advance. You can also pay at the door with cash or TWINT.

LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability.
You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Columbus Code & Coffee 86 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
