Workplace

Come along, grab a coffee or cold drink, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 19:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Programm 19:00 \| Thema " Hosting – „Wo wohnt mein WordPress“ von Siteground\, Variomedia\, all\-inkl oder doch Selfhosting" 20:00 \| Allgemeine Fragerunde oder Vertiefung des Themas\. *** Die Wahl des richtigen Zuhauses für deine Website ist entscheidend für Ladezeit, Sicherheit und letztlich deinen Erfolg im Netz. Aber worauf kommt es wirklich an? In diesem Meetup werfen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der verschiedenen Hosting-Modelle. Wir freuen uns besonders darauf, dass die Experten von **Variomedia** direkt vor Ort sind und uns in einem Impulsvortrag zeigen, was modernes Hosting heute leisten muss. Egal ob du bei großen Anbietern wie Siteground oder all-inkl bist oder überlegst, selbst zu hosten – wir klären, welches Setup zu deinen Zielen passt. Das Meetup für Online Business & Online Marketing – mit WordPress als Fundament. Weg von Bits & Bytes. Hin zu Reichweite, Leads und Wachstum. Weniger Technik-Diskussionen. Mehr Sichtbarkeit, Conversion und Umsatz. Es wird ein Brainstorming-Meetup.... Sei herzlich willkommen oder **empfehle uns weiter** Nach dem Thema und vor dem Netzwerken und einem regen Erfahrungsaustauschgibt gibt es Zeit für eure allgemeinen Fragen über alles was ihr wissen wollt. Wir sind für Support da um die eine oder andere technische Frage rund um WordPress zu lösen.

\*This is a free event, but please [donate through Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/read-editing-monthly-writers-meetup-tickets-1981513291596?aff=oddtdtcreator) to support our collective if you are able! Please join us on the 2nd Monday of every month for this event, built for all of your “in between works“ by the [Read Wedding](https://www.instagram.com/readwedding/) collective. Most events for writers are focused around ***creation or performance***. Much comes between this, yet we do not always hold each other through that phase. It is perhaps expected that all of those self-questioning, unsure, multi-path moments between lightbulb idea and snap-inducing performances are to be personal and private -- but they do not always have to be. We therefore offer you a space for everything unfinished. Needing bouncing around. Ready for a test run. We will meet in a more traditional meetup format than our open mic -- without any set format of facilitation. We will determine the approach to each session based on who's arrived and what their goals are. You may expect some combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. We'd love for you to show up however you are, and with some writing materials (including your phone, if you prefer). However you arrive, so long as you are feeling curious and open, we will have something for you and your work. See you there!

Galerie Toolbox, Koloniestraße 120, Berlin Monday\, April 13th \| 18:00–20:00 Free entry \| Max 10 participants Book your spot here: https://luma.com/bygshie6?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv4 Spots are limited to 10. Design Beyond the Address is a 2-hour hands-on mini workshop exploring how design can help people experiencing homelessness in Berlin. We're not here to solve homelessness in two hours — but we believe design thinking can help us understand real human needs, and come up with ideas that could genuinely make a difference. Students and beginners are very welcome. No experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to engage with a topic that matters. ––– HOW THE EVENING WORKS We start with a short presentation and open discussion on the current state of homelessness in Berlin. You'll then receive a ready-made user persona. Your job is to empathise: map their needs, pains, and everyday challenges through rapid research. From there, your group formulates 3–5 "How Might We" questions, votes on which challenge to take forward, and heads into Crazy 8s — a fast ideation method where you sketch 8 ideas in 8 minutes. You pick one idea, develop it, and prepare a short 3-minute pitch. At the end of the evening, every group presents to the room and we close with a feedback round, a group discussion, and some drinks. ––– The workshop takes place inside an ongoing exhibition by Finnish painter Juha Sääski and Henrik Jacob from Berlin — Juha's paintings speak directly to the human experience of homelessness around the world, and set a powerful tone for the evening. Hosted by Anna Oikarinen (product designer, Helsinki) and Alejandro Cruz (industrial designer, Milan) — two friends who met on exchange in Tallinn and bonded over a shared belief that design should serve real human needs. This workshop is their way of doing something meaningful with that belief. Free entry. All levels welcome. 10 spots only

We'll meet at 10 am at "Nah am Wasser" around the biggest table in the corner – pass by the bar and turn left. We will do two sessions of 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 10:15am. Please don't forget to **order drinks to support the place.** Looking forward to seeing you at the meetup! In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw https://shutupwrite.com.

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

**Let’s catch up and take an afternoon break.** **Grab a coffee or snack and let’s chit chat! Gayle and I will bring adult coloring books and/or a simple craft if you’d like to unwind and relax.😊**

Bring your business cards and network in person with other business professionals! Gold Star Referral Clubs is one of the most established professional networking organizations in the country, with multiple groups in central Ohio. Join us!
