Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Hi everyone, On **Saturday, April 4**, 2026, I’m planning a beautiful spring hike in the **UNESCO-Region Wachau** from **Paudorf** to the **Mammoth trees** (Sequoia trees, Redwood trees) and (hopefully) **blooming apricot tree gardens** near Angern to our final destination to **Göttweig abbey** (Stift Göttweig) in **Furth bei Göttweig**. This hike is all about walking, wide views, and enjoying the landscape together with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and simply being outdoors. **Highlights** 🌄Wide Wachau views combined with peaceful vineyard and apricot garden scenery 🏰Historic landmark Stift Göttweig/Göttweig Abbey 🌸Late March to mid-April is peak season for the famous Wachau Marillenblüte (apricot blossoms). With a bit of luck, we’ll walk right through blooming apricot trees — one of the most beautiful sights of spring in Austria **Meeting Point & Travel** 📍 **Meeting point:** Westbahnhof station at **07:45 a.m.**, near the ticket machines on the upper floor close to the train platforms. Please buy your ticket individuallly before boarding the train. The best ticket choice for this trip by train is the **VOR Freizeitticket**. We will take the 08:18 train to St. Pölten and change there to a local train. Expected arrival time in Paudorf is 09:28 Trains back from Furth bei Göttweig run every hour **Hike Details** **Duration:** Approx. 5 hours (pure walking time) **Distance:** Approx. 17 km **Elevation:** 511 up **Difficulty:** **Easy** (technically), requires basic fitness Pace: Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks More information on the trail: We will more or less combine these two trails: * [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/1081198,ueber-den-goettweiger-walderlebnisweg-zu-den-mammutbaeumen/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/1081198,ueber-den-goettweiger-walderlebnisweg-zu-den-mammutbaeumen/) * [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/639222,kremser-rieden-und-wanderkarte--20-goettweig-wanderweg/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/639222,kremser-rieden-und-wanderkarte--20-goettweig-wanderweg/) **End of Hike & Optional Visit** I plan to end the hike at Göttweig Abbey, where we can optionally visit the museum. At the end of the hike, everyone can decide individually whether to stay with the group or travel back to Vienna independently. The restaurant at Göttweig Abbey may be open depending on our arrival time and seat availability. Göttweig Abbey is a 900-year-old Benedictine monastery overlooking the Danube. The museum features baroque highlights such as frescoes by Paul Troger and historic imperial rooms, and offers insight into monastic life and Austrian history. * **Museum entry:** €14 per person * **Free with:** NÖ Card [https://www.stiftgoettweig.at/portal/en/home](https://www.stiftgoettweig.at/portal/en/home) **What to Expect** We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day. This is **not a race or performance hike** — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm. We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful. 🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**). 🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**. 🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather. Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself, only at the Abbey**. **Important Notes** ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. I will send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone registered. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Looking forward to sharing this **spring day in the Wachau** with you 🌸 Jörg . . **Ticket information** The best ticket choice for this trip by train is likely to be the **VOR Freizeitticket**. It costs **€19.90** for the day in Lower Austria and covers ÖBB regional trains (trains operated by the *Wachaubahn*, displayed as **WHB** in the train schedules, are not included) and local buses in Lower Austria. 🔗 Information regarding this ticket: [https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket) And if this sounds complicated: it isn’t. As long as you arrive at the meeting point on time, I’ll help coordinate everything there so we can start the hike relaxed.

"Ask your Guru" is a colloquial discussion event in English held in a small group (about 5-10 people) in a cosy place. One participant takes on the role of the "guru" - someone who prepares to share a specific view of the world which helped them gain a stronger sense of mastery over or fulfilment in life. The other participants listen to the guru and contribute their own views and ask questions, leading to a lively, deep exchange. You don't have to contribute to the discussion; it is also fine to remain silent and just listen, however you prefer it. Our event will take place in a restaurant where you can order a drink or have dinner. The event is scheduled for two hours. After the first hour there will be a ten minutes break. Every participant is welcome to join our "Ask your Guru" WhatsApp group afterwards.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
