AI Austria Meetup

Update: due to the high number of interested parties, we have had to change the venue to Cafe Museum on Karlsplatz.

New year, new format. With the AI Breakfast, we’re creating a San-Francisco-style morning gathering for the Austrian AI ecosystem: casual, high-signal, no stage, no slides — just real conversations.

This is an open exchange for decision-makers, deep tech builders, Clawdbotlers, founders, CIOs, researchers, public sector innovators and anyone actively shaping AI. Corporate meets startup, policy meets engineering, research meets product. The goal is simple: meaningful connections, sharp discussions, and cross-pollination of ideas — before 9am.

Breakfast is ordered at your own expense.
The table is reserved under Cristian Hofmann / AI Austria.
Seats are limited.

Your host Cristian Hofmann, Amin Khater & Ruben Hetfleisch will welcome you.

👉 Please only RSVP if you truly plan to attend 🙂

GenAI Community: Autonomous Agent Edition
Fiskaly, Vienna | March 25, 2026 | 5:30 PM

AI Agents are moving from hype to reality – and the community is figuring out what actually works.

From real-world deployments to global hackathons, from research-driven architectures to lessons learned in production: this GenAI Community Edition focuses entirely on agent-based systems and the challenges that come with building them.

Together with leading voices from Austria’s AI ecosystem, we will explore how agentic architectures are evolving, what technical and organisational hurdles teams face, and how the global developer community is experimenting with new paradigms.

Hosted by Ruben Hetfleisch (AI Austria), this evening combines short impulse talks with open discussion and networking, bringing together builders, researchers, and practitioners working on the next generation of AI systems.

Expect deep technical insights, honest lessons from the field, and lively discussions with the community.
