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.

**"Could Claude just do this for me?"**Maybe.

We're bringing together a small group of curious people in Bucharest for an evening of sparkling, conversations and AI experiments.
You'll meet the people in the 3rd Space AI Circle, see how they're using AI right now, and get a feel for what we're building over the next five weeks.
No lecture.
No PowerPoint marathon.And definitely no one saying:
*"Here are the 37 prompts you absolutely need to know."*
Just interesting people sharing what they're trying.
***
## How the evening runs
6:45 — Arrive
Grab a glass of sparkling.
Meet some interesting people.
Get comfortable.8:00 — How is everyone actually using AI?
We'll go around the room and share.
Someone might be using Claude to build a website.
Someone else might be automating their reports.
Someone might be creating content.
Someone might have figured out something you didn't know was possible.Ana Toniuc will share some AI tips.
You might steal an idea.That's encouraged.
9:15 — Stay for another drink
The official part ends.
The drinks don't have to.
Stick around, continue the conversation, and meet some of the people you'll potentially be learning with.***
# The honest part
This is the first night of the 3rd Space AI Circle — a five-week program that starts the same evening.
We're opening this first night up on its own because we think the best way to know whether five weeks with this group is for you...
...is to spend one evening in the room.
If you decide to join the Circle afterwards, your €50 ticket comes off the price of the program.
If you don't, no hard feelings.
No follow-up.You got an evening, met some interesting people, and hopefully walked away with a few ideas.
***
## Bring a problem. Leave with an idea.
Bring your laptop if you have one.
And bring one thing you'd love to stop doing yourself.
Maybe it's:- Building a website
- Researching competitors
- Creating reports
- Writing content
- Managing admin
- Organizing information
- Or something completely different
***
## Who should come?
You don't need to be an AI expert.
Actually, please don't be one.This is for people who are curious about AI and have a few things in their work, business or side projects they'd happily stop doing manually.
Founders.
Marketers.
Operators.
Creators.
Professionals.
Side-hustlers.
People with ideas.
Basically:
If you've ever thought "Could Claude just do this for me?" — come.***

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.
