IF THE EVENT IS FULL, PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO SIGN UP Ready to meet people who value depth, presence, and real connection? It starts here. 👉 Join us: [https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Passcode to Zoom: 978508 Doors close 3 minutes after we begin — to support safety and full presence. ### What to Expect If you're tired of small talk, dating apps, or social spaces that feel disconnected — you're not alone. In just 30 minutes, you’ll experience how our Connection Games create a different kind of space: grounded, spacious, playful, and real. This is not a drop-in or matchmaking event. It’s a slow, intentional process of meeting people who care about conscious relating, emotional awareness, and nervous system-regulated connection. After completing a Welcome Call, you’ll be invited to join our events in the city you are based or locations you visit regularly (more than 20+ locations worldwide). ### What You’ll Walk Away With Presence & Ease No performance. No pressure. Just being yourself — and meeting others doing the same. Friendships That Matter Many walk away with deep, lasting friendships. Sometimes romance unfolds. That said, the focus is on connection — and growth. Relational Skills That Stay With You Our games and practices support self-awareness, curiosity, and co-regulation — tools you can bring into conversations anywhere: dates, friendships, even family dinners. ### How to Join Everyone starts with a Welcome Call — unless personally invited by one of our members. This helps us create intentional, safe, and aligned spaces. 📍 Join the call: [Click here to join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Zoom link will be emailed. Can’t find it? Search: connect@consciousconnectionsclub.com ### Upon Completing Your Call, You'll Get: * Access to RSVP for our facilitated singles events * 25% off your first ticket (when eligible) * The chance to meet people in your city who match your values ### This Is For You If: * You’re craving more realness, laughter, and depth * You’re new in town, navigating change, or done with modern dating fatigue * You value personal growth, mindfulness, and authentic connection * You’re curious about yourself and others Some people leave the call thinking: “Where have you all been my whole life?” Others realize it’s not their scene — and that’s perfect too. ### Already Know This Is Your Scene? Or just want to put your name down for your city? 👉 [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) (You’ll still need to attend a Welcome Call before joining any event.) *** ### Clarifying Meetup Numbers Numbers shown on Meetup ≠ actual attendees. Everyone you’ll meet has completed a Welcome Call or been invited by one of our members — so the space starts aligned, safe, and meaningful. ### A Quick Note on Privacy Your info stays with us. We never sell or share your data — it’s only used to support your experience and help you connect with aligned people. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about slowing down, showing up, and letting real connection happen. We’d love to meet you. [Join the Welcome Call.](http://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/cbus-hug-2026/

SQL Server 2025 delivers a major round of improvements across performance, security, manageability, and hybrid connectivity, and this session gives you a practical, no‑nonsense tour of what matters most. We’ll cover enhancements to the core engine, query processing, storage, and availability that benefit DBAs and developers regardless of where SQL Server runs. You’ll see how SQL Server 2025 aligns with Azure SQL’s roadmap while still supporting strong on‑premises and VM‑based deployments. We’ll highlight new management, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities designed to simplify operations and reduce firefighting. AI‑powered features exist in this release, but the focus here is on the foundational improvements you can use immediately. Whether you’re modernizing, maintaining, or planning your next upgrade cycle, this session will help you understand what’s new and how to prepare your environment and your team.
