Software Engineering Events in Geneva

An evening of honest conversation about AI, work, and what stays human.

Let's talk about it, over a drink (or two), on a private terrace in downtown Geneva, with nice people and good conversation.

Come relax and connect at this friendly, in-person afterwork! It's the perfect opportunity to share bright ideas, experiences and stories, meet curious minds, and of course enjoy a good time with new friends.

Whether you are passionate about AI, tech, or simply curious, this apéro is for you.

No slides. No pitch. No experts at the front of the room. Just thoughtful conversations among humans about how AI is reshaping not only our work, but our ethics, wellbeing, and ambitions.

In English. Buy your own drink. 25 places only: deliberately small, so the conversation stays real.

What to expect: 3 rounds of questions. You pick the question that pulls you, and you talk. Questions go both ways. No right answers, no deep tech needed, just curiosity, critical thinking, and a good vibe.

Who is behind this afterwork?

This afterwork is co-hosted by Henri Allegra (Homo Promptus), Hulya Kurt (InnKick) and Bruno Martins.

Homo Promptus brings the cognitive and strategic perspective on intentional, responsible, and human-centred AI adoption.

InnKick focuses on human empowerment, resilience, emotional intelligence, and confidence in times of change.

Bruno Martins works on how job seekers can use AI to reposition themselves, manage their applications, and navigate interviews in a market that is changing fast.

Together, they create a safe, neutral, and welcoming space to explore AI without hype, pressure, or judgement, just thoughtful conversations among humans.

Bring your good vibes and your curiosity. We'll take care of the rest.

Please note, limited places: There are 25 places available, then a waiting list. A few days before the event, all registrants will be asked to confirm. Anyone who doesn't confirm in time gives up their place to the next person on the waiting list. So if you register, please watch for the confirmation request.

Photos may be taken during the event for a post-event LinkedIn update. If you prefer not to appear in any images, please let us know.

Prenons un peu de recul – Plusieurs des grandes transformations organisationnelles de ces dernières décennies semblent raconter la même histoire. Le Lean a rapproché les décideurs du terrain. L’Agilité a rapproché les métiers de la technologie. Les Squads ont rapproché les disciplines. Le DevOps a rapproché le développement des opérations.

Derrière chacune de ces transformations se dessine une même ambition : prioriser par la valeur et réduire la distance entre la réalité vécue sur le terrain et les décisions prises par l’organisation.

Mais comment poursuivre ce mouvement aujourd’hui ? Quarterly Planning, Post-Mortems, équipes pluridisciplinaires, nouveaux rôles comme les Forward Deployed Engineers…
Cette présentation explorera différentes réflexions que nous avons eues chez Hublot pour rapprocher stratégie et exécution, ceux qui construisent et ceux qui utilisent, les métiers et la technologie.

À l’heure où nos capacités technologiques évoluent rapidement grâce à l’IA, l’agilité pourrait moins être une question de vitesse que de proximité : notre capacité à rester au contact du réel, à apprendre de lui et à transformer cette compréhension en décisions et en impact.

🎤 Speaker - Julien Ramel - Head of IT Digital & Omnichannel @Hublot
💬 Se déroule en Francais
💻 Accessible aux tous·tes
📍Infomaniak - Rue Boissonnas 19 · 1227 Genève
🍻 Après la conférence, nous aurons un apéro.

Si vous ne pouvez pas venir, l'événement sera disponible sur Youtube par la suite.
Merci à nos merveilleux sponsors premium @Liip, @Antistatique_ch, @infomaniak & @heigvd qui nous aident à rendre cet événement possible. 🙂

🎉 Genevarb is back!

We’re kicking off a new season of Genevarb with one of our more informal, community-driven formats.

Instead of a traditional speaker and presentation, this month’s meetup is all about sharing what’s useful, interesting, and inspiring in the Ruby & Rails world right now.

Have you discovered a great gem?
Found a tool that has changed your workflow?
Have a Rails trick you wish you’d known years ago?
Experimenting with AI, testing, performance, architecture, or something else?
Or simply have a topic you’d love to discuss with other Ruby developers?

Bring it along! 🚀

💬 What to expect

• Short, informal tips and demos
• Ruby & Rails tools, gems and techniques
• Interesting things you’ve discovered recently
• Lessons learned from projects
• Topics and trends worth discussing
• Open conversations with fellow developers

Whether you’ve been working with Rails for years or are just getting started, everyone is welcome to contribute—or simply come along, listen, and join the conversation.

🍻 As always, expect a relaxed evening, good conversations, and plenty of Ruby.

Got something to share? Bring your laptop if you want to demo something, but no slides or preparation are required.

See you at Genevarb!
