About us
3rd Space Bucharest is for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, creators, and expats who want deeper connections beyond surface-level networking.
Each social event is curated and designed to help professionals connect in real life without the awkwardness of traditional networking.
The host and Texas expat, Eric Melchor, creates environments where conversations feel natural and relationships form organically.
While traditional networking events prioritize scale and transactions, 3rd Space Bucharest
prioritizes depth and connection. Gatherings are intentionally small to ensure everyone participates and connects.

Stop Learning AI Alone
A46, Aleea Alexandru 46, Bucharest, RO# For 5 weeks, a room full of curious people will gather in Bucharest to experiment with AI together.
No lectures.
No experts pretending to know everything.Just people helping each other become impossible to ignore.
Join the Circle.
***
## Everyone is learning AI.
Most people are doing it the hardest way possible.
Alone.
One more YouTube video.
One more newsletter.
One more prompt library you'll never open again.Information isn't the problem.
Isolation is.
The people who will move fastest over the next five years won't necessarily be the smartest.
They'll be the ones learning together.
***
# Why people learn faster here
Because learning is contagious.
When one person discovers something useful...
everyone leaves smarter.
When someone gets stuck...
they're never stuck for long.
Momentum spreads.
Confidence spreads.
Curiosity spreads.That's difficult to recreate alone behind a laptop or attending another AI meetup.
Every week you'll...
• Discover a new AI workflow
• Build something useful
• Learn from other people's experiments
• Share your own discoveries
• Leave with ideas you can use immediately

## What you’re actually joining
You’re not paying for “AI sessions.”
You’re paying for something very different:
- Applied AI workflows that you will build for yourself with the help of a guide and start using immediately
- Access to a curated room of smart, high-signal people
- Real workflows from people actually using and building with AI in work and business
- A structured environment that forces adoption (not just inspiration)
- A social circle that compounds in value after the lab ends
In other words:
You’re not learning AI. You’re upgrading how you work, surrounded by people doing the same.

## Meet your AI Guide
The lab is led by Ana Toniuc, Head of AI & Digital Transformation and founder of MindoEdu.
She's spent years helping companies redesign the way they work through AI, automation, and digital transformation.
Her philosophy is simple:> Learning AI shouldn't end with inspiration.
> You should leave with workflows that save you time next Monday.
