**IMPORTANT:** This event is free, but you need to register here so we can provide access to the space: https://forms.gle/MwT2n74STmdTV6im7 Join the UXDX Copenhagen community for an evening exploring how design, product, UX and engineering choices shape the world we build. This event brings together two thought provoking talks on the political dimensions of UX and the human qualities that differentiate us in a tech driven era. ## **✨ Talks** ### **UX is Always Political** **Cecilia Fernández – Product Manager, Mastercard** Every button placement, every default and every so called intuitive flow carries an opinion. UX is rarely neutral. Cecilia will break down the hidden power structures behind everyday design decisions, from bias in AI interfaces to dark patterns that influence behaviour. You will walk away with a sharper lens on how design can empower or exclude and how to create more ethical, inclusive digital experiences. ### **Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days** **Caroline Ardvisson – Design Leader** Caroline explores what it means to stay human in a world increasingly shaped by technology. Drawing on her work and cultural references including Jørgen Leth’s *The Perfect Human*, she reflects on the analogue, emotional and interpretive aspects of being human that machines cannot replicate. The talk offers a grounded, optimistic view of the future of design and the enduring qualities that set us apart. ## **📅 Agenda** **16:45 – 17:20** Registration and welcome **17:20 – 17:30** Introduction from the UXDX Ambassador- Tasha Melchior **17:30 – 18:15** UX is Always Political – Cecilia Fernández **18:15 – 19:00** Today I Experienced Something I Hope to Understand in a Few Days – Caroline Ardvisson **19:00 – 19:30** Networking and close ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

**Important:** This event will happen in real life in Copenhagen. **Venue:** H9 at Halmtorvet 9. **Scaling in the Real World** *What the Playbooks Don’t Tell You* Real stories, messy trade-offs, and scaling lessons you won’t find in a framework. Most talks about scaling sound the same: clean diagrams, neat playbooks, and tidy case studies. This meetup is about everything that doesn’t fit on the slide. We’ll hear from product leaders who have scaled teams, products, and customers in the real world—with all the chaos, contradictions, and uncomfortable decisions that come with it. Expect candid stories about what actually broke as things grew: processes that didn’t survive contact with reality, “best practices” that backfired, and the trade-offs they’d make differently today. You’ll walk away with concrete, experience-based tactics you can apply in your own company right now: * How scaling really feels from the inside (not just in diagrams) * What to do when bigger customers and bigger teams pull you in different directions * How to choose which fires to fight, and which chaos you can live with * Where popular scaling advice misleads—and how to adapt it to your context Come if you’re in the middle of scaling, about to hit that stage, or just tired of polished stories that skip the hard parts. We will have two exciting speakers lined up, each offering a unique perspective on scaling products teams and surviving it. Speakers are: 1. **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos Morten’s experience at Zendesk, Google, and major silicon valley companies – and now in Denmark working for Syndicate – has given him a front-row seat to the chaos behind scaling. Morten will unpack the gap between theory and reality, and talk about what really happens when growth leads to bigger customers, larger teams, and brand new problems. 2. **Pernille Trolle Brøgaard** \- Scaling Without Breaking Your Teams In this talk, Pernille shares concrete stories from leading product organisations through a major platform migration, acquisitions, and cross-market scaling — including the deliberate choice to accept a traffic drop on dba.dk to enable a more scalable future. She walks through how the org handled tension between teams and stakeholders, big differences in team maturity, and the constant pull between short-term delivery and long-term sustainability. Rather than theory or playbooks, this session focuses on practical decisions, real constraints, and what the teams actually did when things got difficult. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or a team member navigating high-speed product environments, this event will offer grounded, real-world insights into what it takes to succeed under pressure. Join us at **Product Loop** for an evening of honest talks, practical takeaways, and good conversations with fellow product and design professionals. The event is powered by [Learning Loop](https://learningloop.io/). Sponsored by [syndicate.dk](https://www.syndicate.dk/) – the only real product coaching company. **AGENDA:** * Intro (and who’s participating) * **Morten Lundsby Jensen** – This Is Fine: Scaling through new stages of chaos * Beer break * **Second speaker** * More Networking * Thanks for tonight **Keywords:** leadership, scaling, delivery focus, strategy shift, team alignment, sustainable pace, resilience, team topologies, product operating model, productivity, team collaboration, rapid prototyping, venture studios

Join us when Jakob Schmid takes us through the audio of antique video games. The early years of video games, the 1970s and 1980s, were an era of intense innovation in game hardware and software. Jakob always had a particular fondness for the games of this era, and has often used them as inspiration for his own projects. For instance, the 1981 arcade game Defender was a big inspiration for the music and sound of COCOON. Together, we will look at a selection of these video game antiques, from the time when sound effects, ambience, voice synthesis, and interactive and adaptive music were first invented for the medium. The implementation techniques were varied and unique - sound was produced from custom audio chips, software synthesis, discrete hardware components, cassette tapes, or even mechanical percussive devices. We will pick out a few examples of these techniques and go a little deeper into how they work. We hope the talk will inspire you to look at the earliest video games with new eyes - as inspiration for your future work. **Where:** Unity, Niels Hemmingsens Gade 24, 1153 Copenhagen **When:** Thursday, January 21st 2026, 18.30 – 21.30 **Schedule:** 18:00: Entrance with complimentary snacks and drinks 18:30: Presentation by Jakob Schmid 19.30: Break 19.45: Q&A 20:30: Drinks & mingle 21:00: Thank you for tonight.

**Wars, AI, Civilizations, and Competing Visions of Life...** We’re entering an era defined by a single, uneasy question: *who shapes the future of the world?* The rivalry between the United States and China is no longer just about trade or territory. It’s about technology, artificial intelligence, power—and, beneath it all, very different ideas about what a good life and a good society actually are. This is not a military briefing or a policy debate. It’s a philosophical conversation about what this global confrontation really means for humanity. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Is this a new Cold War—or something fundamentally different? * AI as a strategic weapon: dominance, surveillance, autonomy, and control * Freedom vs stability: individual rights or collective order? * Can technology replace ideology—or does it secretly *become* ideology? * Is war becoming more likely, or just more invisible? * What do these two worldviews say about human nature, meaning, and purpose? * And ultimately… what kind of future are we drifting toward—and which one do we *want*? Casual discussion. No expertise required. Just curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to think beyond headlines and slogans. Whether you feel anxious, fascinated, skeptical, or conflicted—you’re not alone. Let’s look past the superpowers—and ask what kind of world they are quietly building for all of us.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.

Let’s meet and discuss whatever comes to mind about one of Tennesse Williams’ most famous plays.
