Writers' On-Line Feedback Session via Zoom
This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.
GenAI x Chips: Vienna Roundtable — From Silicon to Agents (DACH)
GenAI x Chips: Vienna Roundtable — From Silicon to Agents (DACH)
A relaxed, no-slides group dialogue on AI compute (Cerebras, SiPearl/EU) and agentic LLM adoption (LangChain, LlamaIndex) for the Austrian and DACH community.
WHAT
An informal, small-room conversation about the full GenAI stack—from chips and compute choices to real-world, agentic LLM workflows. Short intros, moderated circle discussion, open Q&A. No keynotes, no long decks.
WHY
DACH teams are moving from pilots to production. Compute options (EU chips, on-prem vs cloud) and building reliable agentic workflows are where decisions get costly. We’ll compare notes and share what actually works.
FORMAT
Group dialogue under the Chatham House Rule. Hybrid: on-site in Vienna with interactive online participation. Lightning intros only (30–45 seconds each), then moderated discussion and an open fishbowl segment.
WHO SHOULD JOIN
• Builders and practitioners shipping LLM apps (internal or external)
• Data/ML leads, CTOs/CIOs, innovation and product leaders in DACH
• Ecosystem partners across compute, infra, and frameworks
DATE AND TIME
Tuesday, 2 September 2025, 17:00–20:00 CEST (doors 17:00)
WHERE
Vienna (venue TBA) + Online (stream link sent to RSVPs)
INVITED GUESTS (TBD)
Cerebras, SiPearl (EU chip initiative), LangChain, LlamaIndex, plus local DACH industry voices.
AGENDA (LIGHTWEIGHT)
17:00 — Doors and chill networking
17:20 — Lightning intros
17:30 — Dialogue 1: Chips and compute for DACH (Cerebras, SiPearl/EU landscape, GPUs, cloud vs on-prem, TCO and energy)
18:15 — Coffee break and side chats
18:30 — Dialogue 2: Agentic LLM adoption (LangChain/LlamaIndex in production, tools, evaluation and observability, safety and guardrails)
19:15 — Fishbowl: rotating chairs for audience input
19:45 — Wrap and next steps
20:00 — Official close

Entrepreneurs Coworking in a Boat
Vous avez un business en ligne ? Un site internet ? Une boutique shopify ? Des produits sur Amazon ? Ou sinon, vous avez une idée, un projet ?
Venez alors nous rejoindre pour 4 heures de "Deep Work" dans le café de la péniche Annette K.
Le Deep Work repose sur l'élimination (ou, à défaut, la réduction) des tâches qui ne sont pas essentielles pour rester concentré sur ce qui est important. Sachez que nous ne pouvons pas être au maximum de notre efficacité pendant plus de 3 ou 4 heures par jour!
Nous travaillerons sur un nombre de séances définies ⏰ 💻 (50min, 45min, 40min, 35min, 30min, 40min): Total = 4 heures; avec des petites pauses de 10min entre les séances
Pendant les pauses, nous nous échangerons sur principaux défis de l'entrepreneuriat, les challenges de chacun, comment les surmonter, comment vendre plus, comment scaler son business, etc.
À bientôt!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Do you have an online business? A website ? A Shopify store? Products on Amazon? Or simply an idea, a project that you'd like to work on?
Then come and join us for 4 hours of "Deep Work" at the coffee shop of the boat Annette K.
Deep Work relies on eliminating (or failing that, reducing) non-essential tasks to stay focused on what's important. Keep in mind that we cannot be at our maximum efficiency for more than 3 or 4 hours a day!
During the breaks, we will discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, the challenges that each one of us is facing, how to overcome them, how to sell more, how to scale your business, etc.
See you soon!

La respiration connectée est une pratique de transformation profonde, qui agit par le souffle, le corps et la conscience.
Il ne s’agit pas d’hyperventilation, mais d’une respiration fluide et continue — sans pause entre l’inspire et l’expire.
Ce rythme ouvre un état intérieur particulier de conscience modifié, où les tensions, émotions ou mémoires accumulées peuvent se libérer naturellement.
Il s’agit de libérer l’espace occupé par le passé pour retrouver notre essence vivante dans le présent — là où tout peut être recréé.
Le breathwork agit en profondeur sur notre système nerveux, allégeant les automatismes de fuite, de lutte, de figement et de soumission ou recherche d’approbation.
De là renaît une capacité créative, libre et ouverte face à la vie.
Le Cacao soutient ce processus en douceur et en amplifie la profondeur et l'intégration.
Cependant la prise de Cacao est facultative.
La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir la libération des nœuds énergétiques.
Inspirée du Rebirthing et de la Respiration Holotropique, cette approche s’adresse à celles et ceux qui souhaitent :
alléger ce qui limite leur énergie vitale, ce qui restreint leur perception et leur réponse à la vie,
calmer le mental et le stress,
ressentir davantage d’unité entre le corps, le cœur et l’esprit,
connecter les profondeurs de leur être.
La respiration connectée que je propose est une synergie intégrative entre la puissance exploratoire transpersonnelle de la respiration holotropique,
et la libération émotionnelle du rebirthing.
" Ce processus apparemment simple, combinant respiration, musique évocatrice et d’autres formes de son, possède un potentiel extraordinaire pour ouvrir la voie à l’exploration de tout le spectre du monde intérieur. » — Stanislav Grof
Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire.
Chaque session est une exploration guidée et sécurisée, accompagnée par la musique, la présence, et le tambour.
Participation : 50 €
Participation petits budgets ( RSA, chomage ) 35 €
