Between the Waves

​You've stared at the same bug for three hours. You close the laptop, go for a walk, and the fix hits you halfway down the street. That's not luck. It's INCUBATION: when you step back, your mind drops assumptions, reframes the problem, and starts linking ideas you'd never connect while staring at the screen.

Join us for an evening of relaxed networking built around this idea. A short talk will unpack how incubation actually works, how you can practice it deliberately, and why breakthroughs often come when you step back, not when you push harder through a sprint. Then it's drinks, conversation, and swapping stories about where your best solutions really came from.

​Developer for 20 years, surf instructor, and AI coach at Oktogon Labs, Rafael “Rafa” Ribeiro will give a short talk on what the waves taught him about creativity and problem-solving, and why your brain holds far more potential than your CPU.
