Du wirst in jeder Verhandlung beeinflusst. Die Frage ist nur: merkst du es? Verhandlungen werden nicht nur durch Argumente entschieden – sondern durch den Rahmen, in dem sie geführt werden. **Framing beeinflusst jede Verhandlung.** Es bestimmt, was als fair, sinnvoll oder attraktiv wahrgenommen wird. Auch du wirst in jeder Verhandlung durch Framing beeinflusst – oft ohne es zu merken. In diesem Workshop lernst du, diese Mechanismen zu erkennen und gezielt für dich zu nutzen. ### **Das nimmst du mit** * Verständnis, wie Framing Entscheidungen und Verhandlungen beeinflusst – auch bei dir selbst * Fähigkeit, Frames früh zu erkennen und einzuordnen * Techniken, um Verhandlungen aktiv zu steuern * Strategien, um ungünstige oder manipulative Frames zu hinterfragen und zu verändern * Konkrete Anwendung anhand typischer Gehalts-, Projekt- und Preisverhandlungen ### **Inhalt und Ablauf** * Kompakter Input zu den Grundlagen von Framing in Verhandlungen * Analyse typischer Beispiele aus realen Verhandlungssituationen * Interaktive Übungen, in denen du Frames erkennst und selbst anwendest * Reflexion und Austausch in der Gruppe ### **Für wen ist dieser Workshop geeignet?** Dieser Workshop richtet sich an: * Studierende und Berufstätige * Alle, die **Verhandlungen bewusster führen** möchten * Personen, die sich in Gesprächen oft unter Wert verkaufen * Einsteiger:innen ohne Vorerfahrung Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. ### **Teilnahmegebühr** ● **€ 15 Early-Bird-Ticket** – bei Onlinebuchung mindestens **3 Tage im Voraus unter dem folgenden Link:** https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QF5I9EFL ● **€ 20 regulärer Preis** – **vor Ort**, registrierung auf Meetup notwendig (Kartenzahlung möglich) ### **Über AANCM** Die **Austrian Association for Negotiation and Conflict Management (AANCM)** ist eine Initiative zur Förderung von Verhandlungs- und Konfliktkompetenz. Wir organisieren Workshops und Trainings zu: * Verhandlung * Kommunikation * Konfliktmanagement * Professional Development Unser Ziel: **Praxisnahe und leistbare Weiterbildung für Studierende und junge Berufstätige.** Unsere Veranstaltungen verbinden **Theorie, Praxis und Reflexion** – in einer **offenen und unterstützenden Community**. 🌐 www.negotiator.at 📧 office@negotiator.at 🔗 Folge uns auf LinkedIn und Meetup **This event is marketed on other platforms as well.

**Walk & Talk** Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt? Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊 **Walk:** Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt. **Talk:** Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung. **Wie das ganze abläuft:** * Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos. * Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9) Wenn du mit der U4 kommst, geh bitte zum Hauptgebäude, wo die Züge und die U6 fahren. * Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub. * Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde. * Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück. * Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt. * Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück. * Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung. * Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen. **Bist du bereit?** Dann komm mit! **Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal** Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.** Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung. **Wer macht es?** Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben. **Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!** This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better. It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

Next AWS meetup is up to date. This chapter is dedicated to **cloud migration** and **a developer-first tour of the AWS services**. 🗓 **Save the Date**: Mark your calendar 🍕 + 🍺 = Let's gather around pizza and beer at **Hevre** or Watch the stream on [YouTube (link)](https://youtube.com/live/x2YENCV4jnU) Hosted by: **Maciej Lelusz**, AWS Hero AWS Community Builders: **Maria Kmita** 🎤 **Speakers**: 〰️ *„Cross-Account, Cross-Region,* *Cross-Fingers – Migrating a Live AWS Platform"* **Volodymyr Hordiienko**, DevOps Architect at Intellias 〰️ *„NET on AWS: Better Than You Think"* **Wojtek Dąbrowski**, AWS Hero 💡 Details about Speakers & Talks💡 **Volodymyr Hordiienko:** DevOps Architect with over a decade of experience in multi-cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and delivery automation. Designs and builds production-grade environments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid on-prem - covering architecture, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, container platforms, security, and operational reliability. Has led cloud migrations, platform modernizations, and greenfield builds across industries, including telecom, healthcare, IoT, finance, and retail. ☞ will speak about: A practical AWS migration story about rebuilding a live platform from a single-account, manually managed setup into a governed multi-account delivery model. The talk covers Terragrunt/Terraform, ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Cognito, CI/CD, cross-account deployments, mobile release pipelines, enterprise IAM constraints, and the operational reality of getting an AWS platform truly ready for production. **Wojtek Dąbrowski**: is a Solutions Architect and backend engineer with over a decade of experience, working primarily with AWS. He stays hands-on with code and delivery, combining practical engineering with architecture and technical decision-making. Currently, he is a Platform Tech Lead at Northmill Bank. Since 2019, he has led AWS User Group Silesia in Poland, and in 2023, he was recognized as an AWS Hero. ☞ will speak about: Most people still assume AWS is not the natural home for .NET and treat C# as a “second choice” on AWS. That used to be a fair concern in some areas, but it’s no longer the reality. In this talk, we’ll walk through what building on AWS looks like when your primary stack is C# and modern .NET. We’ll take a developer-first tour of the AWS services that make .NET a strong fit: serverless workloads (APIs, async processing, event-driven systems), container platforms, and infrastructure-as-code written in C#. Along the way, I’ll show concrete patterns and trade-offs, including where .NET shines, where it’s neutral, and where you should be honest and pick a different tool. The goal is simple: leave with a clear mental model, practical options you can use immediately, and a refreshed view of what “.NET on AWS” can look like in 2026.

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with Mausen Bar to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Tuesday (except some holidays/celebrations), 7-10PM 📍 Mausen Bar (Türkenstraße 33, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. 👉 **New here? You can join for just 2 hours to try it out.** 👉 Stay longer if you want to go deeper. To join, please register here (takes 1–2 minutes): [https://nocrastination.space/](https://nocrastination.space/) **We like a touch of mystery!** **The exact location will be sent to you by email 24 hours before the session. Please make sure to register in advance.** **Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **Why “Style”?** Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different, something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through. **Execution with Style** Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t: * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful, dramatic, or expressive * something funny, strange, or unexpected * something you feel like you “can’t pull off” No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum** **What this really is** This is a space for people who: * keep starting but don’t finish * are building something (or figuring it out) * don’t want to do it alone anymore **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. **Why people come back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” * “This is the only place I actually stay consistent” **How long should I join?** You don’t need to commit to the full session. **Option 1: Try it (2 hours, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)** Perfect if it’s your first time or you want a light commitment **Option 2: Go deep (4 hours, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)** Stay for the full session and build real momentum **Time and location** 🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! **How it works** * **13:00–13:15 → Arrival + Soft intro + Set your task** * **13:15 - 14:45 → Deep focus session 1** * **14:45 - 15:00 → 15’ Break** * **15:00 - 16:30 → Deep focus session 2** * **16:45 onwards → Networking** * Quiet focus + optional social space * Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want Simple structure. Real progress. **First time joining?** Look for **Joanna Liu** near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce our next Vienna Deep Learning Meetup on **May 19** at Bosch. Our topics this time are: Improved Optimizers for Deep Learning and Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: Bosch * 18:45 **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** by Ionut-Vlad Modoranu (*ISTA*) * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** by Christian Sobtzick & Sahebeh Dadboud *(Frequentis)* * 20:45 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Talk Details:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** Modern Deep Learning optimization is largely dominated by first-order methods such as Adam, yet their limitations in memory usage, scalability, and curvature awareness motivate the search for improved alternatives. This talk provides a practical perspective on optimization, starting from the roles of momentum and preconditioning and extending to recent advances that go beyond standard adaptive methods. We present techniques that improve optimization along three key axes: memory, structure, and computational efficiency. In particular, we introduce MicroAdam, a memory-efficient variant of Adam based on compressed optimizer states; Trion, a low-rank method that replaces costly SVD/QR projections with efficient, rank-independent alternatives; and DASH, a GPU-efficient implementation of Shampoo that accelerates second-order preconditioning via improved parallelization and fast matrix inverse root approximations. Together, these methods illustrate how careful algorithmic and systems-level design can overcome the practical limitations of existing optimizers, offering a path toward scalable, memory-efficient, and high-performance training beyond Adam. **About the speaker:** Ionut-Vlad Modoranu is a PhD student at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), specializing in efficient optimization for Deep Learning. His research focuses on reducing the memory usage and computational cost while maintaining the performance, including the development of practical optimizers for large-scale models, with publications at top tier international conferences. **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has made tremendous progress in recent years. However, its deployment in safety‑critical operational environments poses a fundamentally different set of challenges compared to demonstration systems or research prototypes. In this talk, we present how speech‑to‑text models are used in a real Air Traffic Management (ATM) product at Frequentis. We walk through the end‑to‑end lifecycle of an ASR system: how training data is collected and curated, how models are selected and evaluated, and what it takes to deploy and operate them reliably for customers in a regulated, safety‑critical domain. Beyond the models themselves, we discuss practical challenges from bringing ASR from research into production, where reliability and trust matter as much as accuracy. **About the Speakers:** Sahebeh (Saba) Dadboud is an Expert Data Scientist at the Frequentis AI Competence Centre. With over eight years of experience in the tech industry, she specializes in bridging Deep Learning, MLOps, and product development to build trustworthy AI for safety-critical systems. At Frequentis, she plays a pivotal role in driving company-wide AI initiatives, supporting the adoption of advanced technologies in domains where reliability, safety, and strict regulatory constraints are absolutely critical. She holds a Master’s degree in Computational Science from the University of Vienna. Christian Sobtzick is Audio Expert at Frequentis, leading the HET Audio Competence Centre. He is responsible for improving audio quality across all Frequentis voice communication products, drawing on more than 15 years of professional experience. In addition, he supports product development related to automatic speech recognition and contributes to research projects, such as the FFG “Next Generation Safety” project, which aimed to enable AI‑based automation in Air Traffic Management. His background is the field of acoustics, including electroacoustic transducers, acoustic measurements, and signal processing. He holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering and Audio Engineering from Graz University of Technology and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our next meetup. Your VDLM organizer team.

As always, in Japan, they have found a word for it: ichigo-ichie = one time, one meeting. Be present. Fully. With the people in front of you. [Priya Parker](https://www.linkedin.com/events/#)'s “The Art of Gathering” feels like the right book at this moment. She's trained in conflict resolution, as conflict is what defines our time currently. Her question is simple: why do we gather? Not to fill a calendar slot. Not to perform connection. But because somewhere beneath the noise of late-stage individualism, we still know we need each other. There is nowhere lonelier than inside a crowd. And yet, we keep showing up. Calling for community. Searching for belonging. Maybe the real art isn't just gathering more. It's learning how to be truly together when we do. How do we design the spaces where people actually connect? Join the Kokoro Book Club! 📆 When? On the 21st of May ⏱️ Time: 19:00 📍Where: At Olinda Bar, Schönbrunnerstraße 23, 1050 Wien Happy to see you 🙃 **#Kokoro** **#TheArtOfGathering** **#Community** **#Belonging** **#Leadership**
