Software Engineering Events in Cologne

Nach einer kleinen Pause geht es endlich mit dem nächsten Meetup weiter!

Da im Sommer viele im Urlaub sind, machen wir es diesmal wieder ganz entspannt und treffen uns wie gewohnt im Lost Level.

Neben dem Networking möchte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen, mit euch über die Zukunft von Game Creators zu sprechen.

Ich suche Leute aus allen Disziplinen, die Lust hätten, bei zukünftigen Meetups einen kurzen Vortrag, Workshop oder Erfahrungsbericht zu halten – egal ob Programming, Art, Audio, Storytelling, Management oder ein anderes spannendes Thema.

Außerdem freue ich mich über alle, die das Team unterstützen möchten. Langfristig soll Game Creators nicht von einer einzelnen Person abhängig sein, sondern gemeinsam wachsen. Wenn ihr Lust habt, bei der Organisation oder Planung mitzuhelfen, sprecht mich gerne an.

Natürlich bleibt genügend Zeit, um bei einem kühlen Getränk zu netzwerken, Ideen auszutauschen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.

Keep creating.

After a short break, we're finally back with our next meetup!
Since many people are away during the summer, we'll keep things relaxed and meet at our usual spot: Lost Level.

Besides networking, I'd love to use this meetup to talk about the future of Game Creators. I'm looking for people from all disciplines who would like to give a short talk, workshop, or share their experience at future events—whether you're into programming, art, audio, storytelling, management, or anything else related to game development.

I'd also love to find people who want to help grow the community. My goal is for Game Creators to become something that's supported by a team rather than depending on just one person. If you'd like to help organize future events or contribute in any way, come and have a chat!

And of course, there'll be plenty of time to network, exchange ideas, and enjoy a cold drink together.

Keep creating.

Is there anything you would like to present about? Please let us know and we will happily arrange a speaker slot for you :) Otherwise, the contents of the Meetup will be crowdsourced at the beginning of the event. If you would like to try something new or have a request, please feel encouraged to reach out to one of the organizers with any and all ideas!

The meetup will begin at 18:30 and take place in Oskar-Jäger-Staße 173 in the Offices of Ambient.

See you there!

For many years we have been organizing a Python discussion group that deals with all kinds of Python related topics. Occasionally we also have talks, but most meetings are open discussions. The topics come from those present and there is an informal atmosphere.

Topic this event: Yours? Bring Topics and Questions.

These meetings are held in German, so you should at least know the basics, although we can certainly answer specific questions in English.

Don't theorize about UX – let's talk about hands-on UX for the digital products we create - second edition.

If you're a building a digital product or are simply interested in UI and UX: everyone is invited. Listen to our talks, meet new people, get new ideas, ask the questions you always wanted to ask.

(Talks will be held in German)
