Visualization

Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Cocktails & Collage** a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through drinks and imaginative art-making. Set in a contemporary art gallery turned into a creative studio for the night, you’ll begin with a delicious cocktail or a glass of wine and even alcohol-free option will be available. Once you test our cocktails you can settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where you’ll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes. Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter. The bar will keep open for those who want to explore more of our cocktail menu Note: The event is free but does not include the drinks

Thanks to everyone who joined for our discussion of Djuna Barnes’ *Nightwood*. As always, it was a pleasure to see both familiar and new faces, and I hope you all enjoyed the conversation. The next book to read is *[Death in Venice](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice)* (*Der Tod in Venedig*, 1912) by [Thomas Mann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann). Set in the beautiful but decaying city of Venice, the novella follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a distinguished writer who travels south in search of rest and inspiration. There he becomes fascinated by a young Polish boy whose beauty gradually awakens emotions and obsessions that challenge his sense of order, discipline, and self-control. A short description of the book reads: One of the most celebrated works of twentieth-century literature, *Death in Venice* is a haunting exploration of beauty, desire, art, aging, and mortality. Combining psychological depth with rich symbolism, Thomas Mann’s novella remains one of the defining works of European modernism. You can read more about the book on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Venice), find it on Goodreads [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=7z83p9EOgb&rank=1), and listen to it as an audiobook on YouTube [here](https://youtu.be/f-JK5W99LVs?si=o8T2fgHe-Hn95sTe). There is also a famous [film adaptation](https://www.justwatch.com/dk/movie/death-in-venice) from 1971, directed by Luchino Visconti. The film won several international awards and is widely regarded as one of the finest literary adaptations ever made. It is particularly noted for its stunning cinematography, its use of music by Gustav Mahler, and its faithful recreation of the atmosphere of Mann’s novella. For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the [About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/) section on the front page of the group. Please note that I know we originally agreed to meet on Saturday, August 22nd. However, after doing a bit of research and realizing just how short *Death in Venice* actually is, essentially a novella—depending on the edition, it ranges from roughly 56 to 140 pages—I have decided to move the discussion forward to Saturday, July 4th instead. I hope everyone will still be able to make it. This way, we’ll also have plenty of time to choose and read another book during the summer. We meet up on **Saturday, July 4th, at 4 p.m.** The location will once again be the [Royal Library Garden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors. Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read. Also, if you plan to attend, please remember to click “Attend” on Meetup. Likewise, if you know that you won’t be able to make it, it is very helpful if you update your RSVP accordingly. It makes it easier for everyone to get an idea of how many people to expect. And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated. In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching — or however you prefer to do it.

Welcome to the Personal Growth BookClub Copenhagen! On the 4th July we will discuss the topic of **"Open When..."** Released in early 2025, it serves as the follow-up to her massive international bestseller, ***Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?*** Main book **"Open When..." by** Dr. Julie Smith 15-minutes summary:[ https://youtu.be/2Kvn80QlsVo?si=dEKhENeXYSXUdECb ]( https://youtu.be/2Kvn80QlsVo?si=dEKhENeXYSXUdECb ) https://www.drjulie.uk/ What can you expect from the **meetup**? * A safe space to discuss about the topic * A short summary of the book by one of the members (Agnes will do it this time) * A not-so-strict moderated discussion based on the book * Sometimes, short participative activities to activate the discussion or reach common grounds and conclusions. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Changes from October 2025: 1. Meetups are still based on topics but there will be a main book to lead the discussion. An optional book (often a more popular one) will also be suggested. 2. One member will make a short summary of the book to introduce the topic (and the book) 3. The moderator(s) will be chosen randomly from a pool of volunteers. 4. The book club accepts donations to afford the Meetup Fee. MobilePay: 8145PW. Donations are not mandatory and the quantity is free.

Hi everyone! Let's gather and share our reading. As usual, we will meet at the fourth floor of the Central Library as it has good facilities for book clubs and it is also free to use. No extra cafe money to spend. Idea is to meet and connect over books. Each participant present 1-2 books they would like to recommend or just talk about, and then we'll see where conversation leads us. Again, there is no limitation to genre or type of book you are reading. The point is that we are free to read whatever we want and then share those reading experiences, so remember to be respectful to each other. I hope to see as many of you as possible. :)

ENG The topics we will vote to discuss are Maintaining relations, Restoring emotional state and Key emotional events. 2 emotion topics and 1 personal challenges topic to vote for discussion. We will try as a group of random people to sit down and talk about emotions or personal challenges. Not necessarily to find a solution or an improvement, but to share perspectives and maybe discover new perspectives. Some people like to talk, some like to listen, at the start of each event, declare if you would prefer to participate in the discussion or prefer to listen in and chime in with an occasional question. If only danish speaking people are coming we will speak danish, if there are non danish speaking people coming we will speak English. DK De fag vi skal stemme om at diskutere er Opretholdelse af relationer, Genoprettelse af følelsesmæssige tilstand og Nøgle følelsesmæssige begivenheder. 2 følelse fag og 1 personlige udfordringer fag at stemme mellem at diskutere. Vi skal prøve som en gruppe af tilfældigvis folk at tale om følelser eller personlige udfordringer. Ikke nødvendigvis før at finde løsning eller en forbedring, men før at dele perspektiv og måske finde nye perspektiv. Nogle personer kan lide at tale, nogle personer kan lide at lytte, I begyndelsen af hver diskussion, erklære hvis du vil deltage I diskussionen eller lytte og komme med nogle spørgsmål under diskussionen. Hvis det er kun dansktalende der kommer så snakker vi dansk, kommer det ikke dansktalende så snakker vi engelsk.

We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic! Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too. As the contacted cafés usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory. This event is in English. The exact place can still change.

This will make the experience as realistic as possible. * **Constructive Feedback**: Receive peer and facilitator feedback to help you improve your answers and approach. * **Salary Negotiation Practice**: If you're up for it, we'll also practice discussing salary in a final interview setting to help you feel prepared for this important conversation. * **Networking & Support**: Meet others who are also on their job-search journey, share experiences, and exchange tips and advice.

We're continuing with Saturday evening Football / soccer ⚽ The field is not booked and the event is for free 🆓 Usually the field is available at 6 PM, but if it's booked by a local club, we must move. Last minute sign-offs will be banned 🟥 for future games if it happens more than once and no reason is given. The game is for all levels, genders 👦👨 and people wanting to have fun. We keep it friendly and respectful. Everyone who can should bring a ball and a pump. Also don't forget to bring a black and a white T-shirt as we do not have bibs.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

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.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

This meeting will be a discussion about living your life with vision loss. For some, the incremental or sudden loss of vision is traumatic and hopeless. Our group assures those with vision loss that adjustment is possible and necessary. Through their lived experience, our participants support and encourage all. You can also join the meeting by Conference Call at (518) 263-8851.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.
