Ping pong #67 🏓- Wednesday - Renti
**Same stuff, always fun! **
ℹ️ **General info:**
Bats (rackets) & balls are provided by the venue (are included in the price).
The ping-pong tables have an hourly cost of 8€/hour, per table. Usually we pay 5-6€/person for the whole 1.5 hours. PLEASE, bring some cash on you, unless you have Revolut or IRIS (nope, a 50€ euro bill does not count).
**Location**:
The venue cannot be reached by metro, so you have to either take a bus or **carpool** with any attending member that will arrive via car.
ℹ️ Bus options should be fairly good, since the venue is next to a big amusement park & a mall.
ℹ️ Personally, I'll always be coming via car, so I'll have 4 available spots in my car. I can pick you from:
* **Egaleo** metro station, blue line,
* **Sepolia** metro station, red line,
* **Pallini** metro/train station
❗️ If you plan to attend via car and are willing to carpool people, please let me/us know in a PM or event discussion!
❗️ People getting carpooled should be in the agreed location **5 minutes earlier**, so that the driver is not made to wait! No excuses, just be on time (or else people won't offer to carpool any more in the future )!
OPTIONAL: Afterwards, we sometimes go at a nearby gyros/fast food restaurant something to eat.
⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

AI, Curiosity & a Bit of Chaos with Workable
Register for free **ONLY** here: https://friends.figma.com/events/details/figma-athens-presents-ai-curiosity-amp-a-bit-of-chaos-with-workable/ 🚀
**Τhree designers, three short talks, and one shared obsession.👀**
Avra, Margarita, and Stefania from Workable are pulling back the curtain on what happens when AI enters the design process, and doesn't leave quietly.
Through three case studies — an AI agent, a UX game built from data, and Workable Reporting — they'll uncover how AI can expand creativity, speed up prototyping, and introduce a fair bit of chaos along the way.
*No hype. No magic tricks. Just real experiments, a few failures, and lessons learned the hard way.*
Come find out.
🗓️ **Thursday, 5th of March 2026, at 19:00**
**📍 Zone01 Athens, Kidonion 136, Nea Ionia.**
**And one more thing:** we're excited to announce a new collaboration with **Mobbin**, a curated library of real app UI screenshots and flows, built for designers who want fast, quality inspiration. Everyone who attends walks away with free Mobbin merch and a discount code to start exploring!

## **Damian Maduzia**
**Title:** Case Study: Building an Accessible Variant Selector
**Duration:** 30’

## **Fanis Prodromou**
**Title:** The Next Generation of Forms: A Practical Guide to Angular Signal Forms
**Duration:** 35’
**Desc:** In this talk we will deep dive into Angular Signal Forms, a new feature designed to streamline how we handle forms. We will explore the core mental model and see how it fundamentally changes the user form development. Starting with the basics, we'll progressively build more complex forms, demonstrating how Signal Forms eliminates the need for many of the workarounds currently used with Reactive Forms.

He is passionate about sharing his knowledge through his YouTube channel, speaking at conferences and meetups, and technical articles. He also stays current in the ever-evolving tech world by attending conferences and experimenting with new technologies, and is a co-organizer of the Angular Athens meetup in Greece.

⏳ Ακραιες καθυστερησεις θα αγνοηθουν = θα ξεκινησουμε χωρις εσας. Sorry but not sorry. Οποτε απλουστατα... μην αργησετε. 😎
🚗 Υπάρχει δυνατότητα carpooling. Θα συζητήσουμε τη διαθεσιμότητα carpooling μόλις δηλώσουν συμμετοχή όλα τα ενδιαφερόμενα μέλη.
🍛 Μετά την πεζοπορία, συνήθως οι περισσότεροι από εμάς πηγαίνουμε σε τοπική ταβέρνα για φαγητό.

The theme “Break The Pattern” for the Women Techmakers International Women’s Day Campaign 2026 is a bold statement. Stop accepting things just because “that’s how they’ve always been done.” This is the moment to disrupt outdated biases, to step into spaces where we were never expected to belong, and to rewrite the rules about who gets to shape the future of technology. #WTMGreece #WTMIWD #WTMBreakThePattern #IWD2026 #GDGAthens

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.
📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St
Located in: The Shops at Worthington
Ample parking is available.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
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.

Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ 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!
