The language of this workshop is Hungarian. A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye. **Volt már olyan akadálymentesítési kérdésed, amiről érezted, hogy nem vagy vele egyedül – mégis egyedül kellett volna megoldanod?** Az idei első akadálymentes workshopon szándékosan **nem jelöltünk ki előre témát**. Helyette teret adunk azoknak a dilemmáknak, elakadásoknak és félkész gondolatoknak, amelyekkel sokan küzdünk – UX-ben, fejlesztésben, tartalomkészítésben, HR-ben vagy termékfejlesztésben dolgozva. Ezúttal **te is hozhatsz témát**: egy konkrét esettől kezdve egy nehezen megfogalmazható kérdésig bármit, ami akadálymentességgel kapcsolatos. A helyszínen közösen választunk, majd beszélgetéssel és csoportmunkával próbáljuk megérteni a problémát, több nézőpontból ránézni, és **együtt megoldásokat keresni**. **Időpont:** 2026.01.07. Szerda, 16:00 **Helyszín:** Appy iroda (1061 Budapest, Nyugati tér 1. 6. em.) **Facilitátorok:** * **Daniss-Bodó Eszter -** ux designer, accessibility advocate (Blue) * **Nagy Árpád -** lead ux designer, akadálymentességi szakértő (OTP) * **Klein Péter -** design strategist & leadership advisor (Blue) * **Szántai Károly -** tanúsított web akadálymentességi szakértő, szakoktató Ez a workshop nem arról szól, hogy „megmondjuk a tutit”. Arról szól, hogy felismerjük: sokan vagyunk ugyanabban a cipőben, és **együtt könnyebb jó kérdéseket feltenni, irányt találni, továbbindulni**. Az esemény ajánlott mindazoknak, akik: * akadálymentességgel foglalkoznak vagy szeretnének tudatosabban foglalkozni vele, * már találkoztak komplex, nem egyértelmű helyzetekkel, * hisznek abban, hogy a közös gondolkodás valódi előrelépést hozhat. Új év, új kérdések – és egy közösség, ahol nem kell egyedül válaszokat keresned. **Csatlakozz, hozd el a témád – vagy csak a kíváncsiságod.** **RSVP** Kérjük, használd az RSVP-t! Ha bármilyen okból nem tudsz eljönni, kérjük, frissítsd foglalásodat, hogy más számára felszabaduljon a hely. **A helyszín akadálymentessége:** A helyszín akadálymentes. Lift és akadálymentes mosdó található az épületben. Segítőkutyádat természetesen szeretettel várjuk. **Fotózás** Készíts te is fotókat, és töltsd fel ide az eseményhez. Örökítsük meg együtt eseményeinket. **Van Meetup ötleted?** Folyamatosan szeretnénk javítani eseményeinket a te hozzájárulásoddal is. Ha van egy téma a fejedben, vagy ha szeretnéd, hogy a céged szponzoráljon egy eseményt, esetleg segítenél a szervezésben, jelezd nekünk.

*"If you crush a cockroach, you're a hero; if you crush a beautiful butterfly, you're a villain. Morals have aesthetic criteria*" Friedrich Nietzsche “*Art is not about itself but the attention we bring to it.*” Marcel Duchamp We all make aesthetic judgments constantly. About people, brands, things, cities, food, rituals. Is it a matter of just “taste”? Is it refinement through traing or education? Aesthetics is not just decoration. It’s a value system. It shapes desire, identity, what we trust, and the very meaning of things. This session is not about “what’s beautiful”. It’s about **where does beauty come from, why it is so influential to our lives**, **how it** **defines or even shapes so many things.** You dont need to be an expert in art or fashion, but expect different points of view. If everyone agrees, the session probably failed. **Session Outline** 1. **Introductions (10 minutes)** Please bring an object (can be an image in your mobile) of something that you consider beatiful. Can also be a passage of a literary work, or concept, etc. 2. **Background on Aesthetics by Philospher Erik Hallay** **(20 minutes approx.)** Erik will give a short intro about the definition, history, and implications of aesthetics. 3. **Some questions that we will explore for the rest of the session:** **(1 hour and 30 minutes)** 4. Are we born with good taste, or do we learn it? Is beauty a social construct? 5. Can something ugly be beatiful and viceversa? 6. Can universal aesthetic standards exist? 7. Can art exist without an audience? 8. Does beauty have an evolutionary advantage? 9. Does desire shape aesthetics, or aesthetics shape desire? 10. Do you dress for yourself or for social acceptance? 11. Can beauty be a moral statement? 12. Should art comfort, disturb, or train perception? 13. Can AI generated art carry aesthetic value? 14. Does art lose value when it becomes easily reproducible? 15. Is originality overrated? 16. If aesthetics disappeared tomorrow, what would we lose first—joy, meaning, or hierarchal references? 17. Should artists be morally accountable for their work? 18. What are the boundaries between art and design? 19. Why do we put more attention into protecting beautiful species but ignore ugly ones? **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance on Meetup to make sure we have enough space. Consider donating from 400 HUF to keep the costs of the meetup.

Haladó argentin tangó óra heti rendszerességgel januártól!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

**This is a paid program.** **Click <<[here](https://online.innerengineering.com/en/program-details/bhuta-shuddhi-cityprogram-staybridge-suites-columbus-university-area-ohio-us-jan-16-2026)\>\> to register\.** ### **Bhuta Shuddhi means “purification of the five elements” (i.e. earth, water, fire, air and space) which gets to the root of imbalances in the body that lead to disease. This simple practice which you can do daily reorganizes your system on the elemental level.** **Benefits:** * **Keeps the system in harmony and balance** * **Prepares the system to handle powerful states of energy** * **Creates the basis to gain complete mastery over the human system** **For ages 14 and above, no prior knowledge of yoga is required.** **This program is conducted by a Hatha Yoga teacher trained by Sadhguru.**

First attempt at this. If it's good, we'll do it again. If it sucks, we tried. (Event photo is from a recent trip to Flagstaff. Stock photos of fake people drinking coffee are the worst.) **Why I'm doing this:** You're the average of the people you spend the most time with. Running a business solo means I've been spending most of my time with myself. And AI tools, which are great for thinking through business problems, but terrible for actual human connection. I want to raise that average. Looking for people who want real conversations. Not networking, not pitches, just the kind of talk that makes you think differently about what you're building and why. If we all end up making a few friends along the way, even better. **What to expect:** Coffee. Conversation. No pitches, no elevator speeches, no going around the table introducing ourselves like it's a corporate icebreaker. Just show up and talk like a normal human. **Ground rules:** * No pitching your business * No recruiting * No MLM talk * No hustle porn **RSVP cap:** 6 people max so it doesn't turn into a crowd. **Location:** Transcend Coffee & Roastery in Grove City **Time:** Friday, January 16th at 11 AM. See you there!

Essentially, hatha yoga is towards establishing this alignment." - Sadhguru** **Benefits of practicing Yogasanas regularly:** * **Stabilization of the body, mind, and energy system** * **Slows down the aging process** * **Relief of chronic health conditions** **Agility Level: Intermediate** **For ages 14+** **Open to everyone, no previous experience of yoga required**
