**Tickets / Anmeldung:** [https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1983680334279](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1983680334279) **Salon #1 Thema: „Wie leben wir in Berlin im Jahr 2040?“** Technologische Durchbrüche, politische Verschiebungen und gesellschaftliche Dynamiken verändern unser Koordinatensystem schneller als je zuvor. Vieles wird infrage gestellt. In Zeiten tiefgreifender Transformation wächst das Bedürfnis nach Orientierung. Der Salon **„100 Minuten Zukunft“** schafft einen Raum, um Zukunft zu denken. Durchgeführt wird das Format von den beiden professionellen Futures Thinking und Innovationsentwickler:innen und Zukunftsgestaltern Elle Langer, Ferdinand Linke und Florian Huss vom Team „100Minuten Zukunft“. **100 Minuten können reichen, um den Blick auf morgen neu zu ordnen.** Das Erlebnisformat beginnt mit einem pointierten Impuls zur Methode Futures Thinking. Anschließend startet ein 100-Minuten-Zukunftssprint in einem wissenschaftlich-kreativen Prozess mit Futures Thinking. Schritt für Schritt entstehen konkrete Szenarien zu einem definierten Thema und Zukunftsjahr. Der Salon startet mit der Frage: **„Wie leben wir in Berlin im Jahr 2040?“** • Wie leben Menschen in diesem Szenario? • Welche politischen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen prägen den Alltag? • Welche Technologien spielen eine Rolle? • Welche gesellschaftlichen Dynamiken dominieren? Keine Dramatisierung, sondern analytische Klarheit. Aktuelle Entwicklungen werden eingeordnet und der Blick geweitet und wünschenswerte, realistische und dystopische Zukünfte bewusst gegenübergestellt. Was anfangs abstrakt erscheint, wird überraschend konkret. Diffuse Unsicherheiten verwandeln sich in beschreibbare Zukunftsbilder. Aus Diskussionen entstehen Handlungsoptionen. **Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten** Der Salon vermittelt mehr als Methodenkompetenz. Er stärkt ein Zukunfts-Mindset: • Komplexität strukturiert denken • Narrative erkennen und gestalten • Risiken und Chancen systematisch abwägen • konkrete nächste Schritte ableiten Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Futures Thinking weder in Schule noch Universität selbstverständlich gelehrt wird, bietet dieses Format eine seltene Gelegenheit, Gestaltungskompetenz praktisch zu erleben. **Ein Abend wie eine kleine Heldenreise** Dieses besondere Erlebnisformat, verbindet Menschen aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Medien, Wirtschaft und engagierter Zivilgesellschaft – erfahrene Entscheider:innen und junge Zukunftsgestalter:innen. Maximal 25 Personen können teilnehmen. Die Begrenzung ermöglicht einen dynamischen und kreativen Prozess, echte Begegnung und Co-Creation zwischen Generationen und Disziplinen. **Regelmäßige Orientierung in komplexen Zeiten** Der Salon „100 Minuten Zukunft“ @BEYDES wird regelmäßig alle 2 Monate zu unterschiedlichen Themen stattfindenden. Nächster Termin 21.05.2026 17:00 – 19:30 Uhr. Das Thema findet über eine Beteiligungsumfrage im Vorfeld statt. Wer Teil dieses besonderen Formats sein möchte, sollte sich frühzeitig anmelden.

Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community. Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display: * Burak Kağan Yılmazer * Sara Maras * Alexander Hendorf * Hansu Kim * Maris Niewenhuis * Ewa Rother

**Combining a variety of TopRock break dance moves in the format of HIIT training, this class will be like no other you have taken! Specifically created with non-break dancers in mind, this class is fun, engaging and totally beginner friendly!** 🤸‍♀️ *What exactly is TopRock you might be asking?* Toprock is the **standup part of breakdance**. When break-dancers are showing their skills, they will often start with toprock. Beginners often find toprock to be easier than other elements of [breaking](http://%5Bhttps//www.mygrooveguide.com/dance-info/breaking/what-is-breaking%5D(https://www.mygrooveguide.com/dance-info/breaking/what-is-breaking) "breaking"), because it is done standing up.

Das aktuelle Monatsthema könnt ihr auch per Email erfragen: [meeplemoabit@gmx.de](mailto:meeplemoabit@gmx.de) Eintritt und Getränke auf Spendenbasis.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
