Un’occasione unica: vedere all’opera o addirittura andare in scena col maestro dei più grandi maestri dell’improvvisazione teatrale mondiale. Jeff Michalski, co-creatore del programma di formazione del Second City Training Center di Chicago, ha lavorato in scena con Al Pacino, Meryl Streep e Tom Hanks. Per la prima volta a Milano come performer e formatore. Con lui sul palco, la sua partner scenica Monika Ozdarska. Una Improv Jam è teatro improvvisato dal vivo, senza copione, senza rete. Ogni scena nasce nell’istante, dall’incontro tra i performer sul palco. Per chi improvvisa è l’occasione di mettersi in gioco con due artisti di livello mondiale. Per chi guarda è uno spettacolo irripetibile: ogni sera è unica, e questa lo sarà più di tutte. Open Jam : qualsiasi improvvisatore può salire sul palco e giocare con loro. In inglese. Si può partecipare in due modi: come spettatore, con ingresso libero, o come improvvisatore attivo, con offerta libera. In entrambi i casi è richiesta la tessera associativa del costo di 5€ che dà diritto a un drink omaggio. Per pretesserarsi qui: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep)** La serata apre il weekend di lavoro con Jeff Michalski, un laboratorio intensivo di 12 ore dedicato alla costruzione della scena (9/10 maggio, info su **[cantierierranti.eventbrite.com](http://cantierierranti.eventbrite.com/)).** La Jam è un assaggio dal vivo di cosa significa lavorare con lui. Evento organizzato da Cantieri Erranti in collaborazione con Slow Mill.

**Il Viaggio Interiore** è un'avventura unica dedicata all'esplorazione profonda di se stessi attraverso la meditazione, guidata da **Carlo Lesma**. Questa giornata è stata progettata per offrire un’esperienza immersiva che permette di staccare dalla routine, liberare la mente dai blocchi emotivi e ritrovare **chiarezza, serenità ed energia vitale**. ### **Dove e Quando** L'evento si svolgerà a **Milano** nella giornata di **domenica 10 maggio 2026**. * **Sede:** Best Western Falck Village Hotel, situato in Viale Italia, 598, a Sesto San Giovanni (MI). * **Orari:** La giornata è divisa in due momenti: la mattina dalle **9:30 alle 13:00** e il pomeriggio dalle **14:30 alle 17:30**. ### **Le Strategie e i Contenuti** Durante l'incontro, imparerai a utilizzare la meditazione come una vera e propria scienza per migliorare ogni aspetto della tua vita attraverso diverse **strategie evolutive**: * **Sei cicli di meditazioni guidate:** Utilizzo di specifiche frequenze sonore per favorire il cambiamento interiore e calmare la mente sin dalle prime sessioni. * **Tecniche di intuizione:** Metodi per risvegliare e riconoscere la capacità intuitiva, imparando ad applicarla nelle decisioni quotidiane. * **Integrazione pratica:** Strategie per inserire la meditazione nella **routine quotidiana, nel lavoro e nello sport** per migliorare la produttività e gestire lo stress. * **Creazione di meditazioni su misura:** Segreti per progettare una pratica personalizzata in linea con i propri obiettivi e stile di vita. * **Distinzione tra tecniche:** Approfondimento delle differenze tra meditazione, visualizzazione e rilassamento profondo per sapere quando e come utilizzarle al meglio. * **Superamento dei condizionamenti:** Strumenti pratici per riconoscere e lasciare andare i limiti mentali derivanti dal passato. Al termine della giornata, i partecipanti riceveranno un **attestato di partecipazione** come Corso Base di Meditazione. Per comprendere meglio, immagina che la tua mente sia come un computer sovraccarico di schede aperte e file obsoleti; le strategie apprese in questa giornata agiscono come un aggiornamento del sistema operativo, chiudendo i processi inutili e permettendo al software della tua vita di scorrere con molta più fluidità e velocità.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
