User Experience

Αγαπητοί UXers, Ελπίζω όλοι να είστε καλά! Μετά από ένα διάστημα απουσίας (έτσι για να σας λείψουμε) ήρθε η ώρα να ξαναβρεθούμε. Ανακοινώνω το επόμενο UX meetup της κοινότητάς μας το οποίο θα είναι δια ζώσης και αυτή τη φορά έχουμε τη χαρά να φιλοξενηθούμε από τη Epignosis. H εταιρία (ένα ελληνικό και πραγματικό success story) έχει καταφέρει να είναι από τις μεγαλύτερες παγκοσμίως στο ιδιαίτερα ανταγωνιστικό industry του e-learning. Το meetup περιλαμβάνει ως συνήθως μια κεντρική ομιλία σχετικά με UX πρακτικές, μεθόδους και διαδικασίες. Πιο συγκεκριμένα η εν λόγω ομιλία αφορά σε θέματα συμπεριληπτικής σχεδίασης και ψηφιακής προσβασιμότητας της πλατφόρμας TalentLMS. Η agenda έχει ως εξής: 1\. 19\.00 \- 19\.05: Ένα πολύ σύντομο introduction για το meetup 2\. 19\.05\- 19\.45: "From Inaccessible to Inclusive: Our Team’s Accessibility Journey\.” \- Αλέξανδρος Αντωνιάδης\, Lead Frontend Engineer\, Epignosis\. 3\. 19\.45\-20\.30: Q & A \+ networking H προσέλευση είναι στις 18.30 - 19.00 και όπως πάντα μετά την ομιλία θα έχουμε χρόνο Q&Α και φυσικά για networking, snacks & drinks! Θα τα πούμε από κοντά στις 25 Φεβρουαρίου! Παναγιώτης

**Hello Columbus!** **The community is buzzing and growing well.** **We are thrilled to bring our third BrowserStack QA Meetup on March 12th!** We are creating a space for deeper insights, meaningful connections, and a vibe you won't want to miss. **What to expect:** * **Connect:** Network with Columbus' top engineering and QA minds. * **Learn:** Real-world tactics and trends you can use immediately. * **Enjoy:** Food, drinks, and great community spirit. **Agenda** * **[Sam Gomez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/samueljgomez/)** is presenting "AI is more than LLMs: Choosing the right AI for your needs." **RSVP Essential:** Space is limited, and we want to ensure a great experience for everyone. **RSVP now to secure your spot!** **Venue:** Leading EDJE, 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **Free Parking:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017 **Date & Time:** March 12, 6:00 PM **Stay Connected!** Want to continue the conversation beyond the meetup?

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
