Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

This one-day hackathon brings together developers, AI enthusiasts, and innovators to build practical solutions using agentic AI - systems that can autonomously work toward defined goals. Participants will collaborate in teams to design and prototype real-world AI applications and present their projects to a professional technical jury from the industry. The event connects university students with the tech ecosystem through hands-on challenges, mentorship, and technical talks. Participants will work in teams of up to 5 members, so make sure your team includes a mix of skills such as development, data science, AI, product thinking, and presentation. The hackathon is open to both Hungarian and international participants, creating a diverse and collaborative environment. 📅 Date: April 11, 2026 ⏰ Time: 10:00–21:00 CET 📍 Location: Budapest (TBA) 🌐 Language: English 👥 Expected attendance: 100–150 participants Come build, learn, and compete with some of the most active tech communities in Hungary. 🚀 Az eseményről Csatlakozz az első közös GDG Agentic AI Hackathonhoz Magyarországon, amely egyesíti a GDG Budapest, a GDG on Campus ELTE, a GDG on Campus BME és a GDG on Campus UniDeb közösségeit.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
