**Több, mint egy közös sörözés.** Bár a jéghideg sör jó ürügy a találkozásra, a lényeg idén is a szakmán van: pörgős előadásokkal és az épp aktuális témákkal készülünk. Áprilisban szeretnénk összehozni a ServiceNow közösséget egy kötetlen estére, ahol a minőségi tartalom mellé most is jut bőven a jó hangulatból. Gyere el, és koccintsunk egyet! ❗️ **Az esemény ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött:** [BeerUP ServiceNow Edition 2026 regisztráció](https://www.mndwrk.com/beerup-servicenow-edition-2026) ##### Az előadók, és az általuk hozott témák: Bözöri Dániel - Advisory Solution Architect (ServiceNow) Vígh Gergely- ServiceNow Architect CTA (Accenture) Boros Bulcsu - ServiceNow Architect CMA,CTA (Sofigate) Dombai András - ServiceNow Architect CMA (Rubico) **1\. előadás \-** **AI Agentek a ServiceNow platformon – mikor használjuk, mikor ne?** A ServiceNow és az AI fejlődése rengeteg új kaput nyit meg, de a generatív megoldások és az AI Agentek nem minden helyzetben jelentenek automatikusan jobb választ. Az előadás során azt járjuk körbe, hogyan lehet tudatosan, az üzleti értékre fókuszálva beépíteni ezeket a funkciókat a vállalati környezetbe. Megnézzük, milyen problémákra érdemes valóban AI-t használni, és hol hatékonyabbak a hagyományos workflow-k vagy szabályalapú megoldások. Szó lesz a technológiai korlátokról, a kockázatokról és arról a határvonalról, ami elválasztja a látványos tech-demót a valódi, hosszú távon is fenntartható üzleti értéktől. **2\. előadás \- Scoped Application mint belső szolgáltatás** Az előadás a ServiceNow Scoped Application koncepcióját mutatja be a modern mikroszolgáltatás-alapú szemlélet tükrében, rávilágítva arra, hogyan válthatóak valódi belső szolgáltatássá az elkülönített, jól menedzselhető alkalmazások. A résztvevők megismerhetik a moduláris és skálázható ügyféligények tervezésének módszertanát, valamint az Open API szabványokra és egyedi integrációkra épülő technikai szolgáltatások platformszintű előnyeit. A prezentáció gyakorlati útmutatást ad ahhoz, hogyan építhetőek strukturált, újrafelhasználható és könnyen karbantartható megoldások komplex ServiceNow környezetben. **3\. előadás \-** **Extension Points in Practice – hogyan tervezzünk jól és használjuk őket skálázhatóan?** Az extension pointok hatalmas szabadságot adnak, de ha félrecsúszik a tervezés, a megoldás hamar nehezen karbantarthatóvá és törékennyé válhat. A kérdés az, hogyan használjuk őket úgy, hogy valóban a skálázhatóságot szolgálják, és ne a technikai adósságot növeljük. Valós példákon keresztül nézzük meg a jól működő struktúrákat, a tipikus hibákat és azokat a bevált tervezési mintákat, amikkel hosszú távon is fenntartható marad az architektúra. Kiderítjük, hol van az a pont, ahol tényleg érdemes hozzájuk nyúlni, és mikor célravezetőbb más utat választani. **4\. előadás \- Adat és folyamat szeparáció a gyakorlatban** Az előadás betekintést nyújt banki környezetben, nemzetközi leányvállalati kiterjesztés kihívásaira , amit az adat és folyamat szeparáció koncepciójának bevezetésével támogattunk. A következő kérdések lesznek fókuszban: \- Hogyan lehet Domain Separation nélkül adatot és folyamatot leválasztani? \- Milyen esetekben lehet rá szükség? \- "Értem én\, hogy gőzgép\, de mi hajtja\!?"

*“we add the feelings of delight of successful executive instruments, the useful 'under-wills' or under-souls—indeed, our body is but a social structure composed of many souls—to our feelings of delight as commander”* **Friedrich Nietzsche - Beyond Good and Evil.** **(In english!)** This session is designed as a beginner's workshop, even if you haven't read or don't know Nietzsche's work. And if you do but would like to deepen and share your knowledge, you are also welcomed. We will focus on a few clusters from just the first two chapters of *Beyond Good and Evil*. Reading, clarifying, and discussing his aphorisms, covering 5 main topics. We split into separated groups and there will be practical work. The focus will be on some of Nietzsche’s most provocative ideas. From the rejection of simple opposites, to the first appearance of the will to power. The goal is to understand what Nietzsche is really attacking, where his insights are still up to date, and if and where he may be overstretching. This time a notebook and pen is recommended. **Introduction of guests (10 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests. Those who are familiar with Nietzsche will seat next to those who aren't in a more or less homogeneous distribution. **The topics to discuss (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. **Truth, contraries, and the prejudice of philosophers** Excerpts: **1–4**, **24**, **31**. 2. **The unity of the self: ego, will, commonwealth, masks** Excerpts: **12**, **16–17**, **19**, **26–27**, **40**. 3. **Freedom, free will, determinism, and the free spirit** Excerpts: **21–22**, **29**, **34**, **41–44**. 4. **Psychology against philosophy: resentment, indignation, morality as symptom** Excerpts: **5–6**, **23**, **30**, **32–33**, **38–39**. 5. **Will to power as the deep explanatory wager** Excerpts: **13**, **19**, **22–23**, **36**. **RSVP**: As this is a different format than usual I will let a maximum of 16 people. Please confirm your attendance by transferring: • 3,000 HUF — Workshop entry (please support the venue buying any drink) • 6,000 HUF — Entry + veggie bruschetta • 8,000 HUF — Entry + veggie bruschetta + alcohol-free red wine Please, sign up here: [https://forms.gle/pEjhTLLkDGBWJS1N7](https://forms.gle/pEjhTLLkDGBWJS1N7?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBEwb1FaR1hyTGJFSXZYeDVlaHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6EZUT9iwDH3EokkwJFynJFBDWeH8upis9o_TKhzQuFShYpWUqOEJ2jcCCR0w_aem_7p274cXA4ZIGQYNOMhZH4g) And make the payment here: [https://revolut.me/marcoshht/pocket/ZtuHAUE1NO](https://revolut.me/marcoshht/pocket/ZtuHAUE1NO?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBEwb1FaR1hyTGJFSXZYeDVlaHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR664E5SHLpYlZ7cIdEPCPULV1XvR0c8sZKgwfe67wqm_TfSgubMoAVcj-inKw_aem_FAi0Woh7heWIUccOlmRH9A)
