Aktzeichnen (Life drawing) in Kreis 4
Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup.
**Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [ https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7454987891141296131.html](here)
On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview)

Decoden Charms Workshop: Decorate in ZĂŒrich!!
Der Decoden Workshop bietet dir die Möglichkeit, in eine verspielte und kreative Welt einzutauchen und deine eigenen Decoden-Charms und Accessoires zu gestalten. Decoden ist eine dekorative Technik, bei der mit einer cremigen Leimmasse, Farben und sĂŒĂen Charms gearbeitet wird. Dabei entstehen einzigartige Designs, die sowohl kreativ als auch individuell sind. Dieser Workshop eignet sich perfekt fĂŒr alle, die etwas Neues ausprobieren und mit wenig Aufwand tolle Ergebnisse erzielen möchten.
Im Decoden Workshop kannst du verschiedene GegenstÀnde nach deinem eigenen Stil gestalten.
Zur Auswahl
Bilderrahmen
Etuis
Handspiegel & Tischspiegel
SchmuckkÀstchen
Haarklammer
Du entscheidest selbst, welches Objekt du dekorieren möchtest und wie verspielt, farbenfroh oder minimalistisch dein Design ausfallen soll. Jedes Werk ist ein Unikat und spiegelt deine persönliche KreativitÀt wider.
Pro Gegenstand benötigst du etwa 15 bis 30 Minuten, je nach Detailgrad und Design. Dadurch eignet sich der Workshop sowohl fĂŒr kurze kreative Pausen als auch fĂŒr lĂ€ngere Bastelzeiten. Du kannst auch mehrere Objekte nacheinander gestalten, wenn du Lust hast, verschiedene Designs auszuprobieren.
Der Preis startet ab 29 CHF pro Gegenstand. Im Preis enthalten sind eine Farbe und 20 Charms. Alle Materialien stehen fĂŒr dich bereit, sodass du nichts mitbringen musst. Du kannst direkt loslegen und dich ganz auf das kreative Arbeiten konzentrieren. Wenn du zusĂ€tzliche Farben oder Charms verwenden möchtest, kannst du diese flexibel ergĂ€nzen.
Auch AnfĂ€nger\*innen sind herzlich willkommen. Du brauchst keinerlei Vorkenntnisse, um am Decoden Workshop teilzunehmen. Ich erklĂ€re dir Schritt fĂŒr Schritt, wie die Technik funktioniert, wie du den Leim richtig auftrĂ€gst und wie du deine Charms platzierst, damit dein Design harmonisch wirkt. WĂ€hrend des gesamten Workshops stehe ich dir mit Tipps und UnterstĂŒtzung zur Seite.

Impact Over Perfection â A Practical Approach to Accessibility
Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements donât require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all.
In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience.
Youâll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects â without waiting for the âperfectâ solution.

ZĂŒrich AI | Agentic Loops
**Sponsored by:**

**Partner-led and partner-branded by**: ***Microsoft***
Speakers:
* Firas Cheaib (ACP) â When Models Become the Commodity
* Victor Chibotaru(LogicStar AI) â Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner
Abstract:
When Models Become the Commodity
ACP Engineering works extensively with LLMs to write production code across a small team. What makes that work is not the models, but the groundwork laid before them: a portfolio of Python projects sharing the same tooling, structure, tests, CI, and linters, the same conditions that already made the codebase easy for humans to navigate. That foundation is what powers the current build of ACP-M, ACP's industrial IoT platform for manufacturing customers, and an early agentic-loop prototype now running internally. The next step is enabling customers to automate their own operations the same way. Doing that requires the same kind of preparation on their side: turning fragmented operational data into knowledge graphs, unified namespaces, and typed semantic layers, so that agents act on information that is short, focused, and reliable. Once that environment exists, the model becomes a commodity. What matters is enterprise processes and domain knowledge, not which model happens to be in fashion that quarter. Attendees will leave with a concrete way to assess whether their own environment is ready for agents at all, and what it takes to get there

Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner
AI ships your features faster than ever, but it also ships bugs faster than ever. Code got cheap, maintenance didn't: customer complaints stack up, Sentry alerts overflow, and triaging the pile is still as expensive as it ever was. I'll show how LogicStar finds bugs across your Sentry, Jira and codebase, separates signal from noise, and helps your team fix issues that matter.
