Short North Street Skate | Weekly Rollout

Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and we’re excited to get back rolling together. These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus. Details: Meet: 1160 N High St 9:30 AM meet 10:00 AM rollout All wheels welcome We’ll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start. Come solo or bring a friend!

Unity GameDev Hangout (Topic TBD)

*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.* A relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. No strict agenda — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas. Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest): * Frame Debugger & performance tooling * Addressables & additive scene workflows * Input System, localization, responsive UI * AI integration approaches * DevOps & LiveOps experiences * Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing * Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems * Weird Unity quirks we've all run into Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers. All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Voice Agents and AI

**“I’m Sorry, Can You Repeat That?”** **\- When and Why Voice Agents Fail** Every contact center leader has heard it: a caller repeating their name three times, getting more frustrated with each attempt. The dashboards look clean. Containment is up, confidence scores look fine. The system looks like it’s working, but your customer just had their worst interaction of the week, and none of your metrics caught it. Analyzing voice-driven customer experience today means chasing answers across a dozen scattered signals, transcripts, sentiment scores, handle times, escalation rates, without a comprehensive map of the thing you’re actually measuring: a conversation. That map exists, and it’s called linguistics. With it, the scattered signals fall into their right spots and order, and you stop patching symptoms and start diagnosing the experience. The map starts with a simple model. Every conversation runs on two channels: the form (sounds, words, timing, turns) and the meaning (the task, the situation, the feeling). Customers keep both channels aligned, with each other and with their partner’s, continuously and without thinking. A voice agent that serves them well has to do the same: keeping its form and meaning channels aligned, with each other, and with the customer’s, constantly and seamlessly. The map survives every technology shift, because it describes the conversation, not the implementation. From it, you get both halves of the job: design questions for building better customer experiences, and a matrix that turns “the customer was frustrated” or “the bot just didn’t get it” into concrete, measurable, fixable failure modes, the missing rows in your voice-of-customer analysis. Who this is for: CX and customer service leaders, analysts working with call and chat data, voice AI practitioners, and anyone who’s watched clean dashboards while their customers quietly suffered. **About our Speaker:** [Midam Kim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/midamkim/) is an ML Engineer at [ServiceNow](https://www.servicenow.com/), where she builds and evaluates a multilingual voice AI platform spanning a dozen languages.

Her work sits at the rare intersection of production ML engineering and speech science—translating decades of linguistic research into the engineering decisions voice AI teams are making right now. **Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:** [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com/), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com/), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com/), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro/) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com/)
