Last chance to meet tango before the official course 🤩 Learn about real tango, the dance of connection! Real tango is a conversation. Two people, close together, listening to each other through embrace, weight and breath. The leader proposes. The follower responds. The dance emerges from that - improvised, alive, completely in the present moment. It is one of the most direct ways I know to practice both body and mind. In this introductory evening, you'll learn the basic structure of the embrace and a few simple steps. More importantly, you'll begin to feel what tango is actually about: connection. To your own body first, then to another person. You don't need a partner. You don't need dance experience. You need comfortable shoes with a smooth sole and an open mind. I've been dancing tango for years, and I come to it from the same place I come to everything else I teach: the body knows things the mind doesn't. Tango is one of the ways we learn to trust that. Partners are rotated during class so you practice with everyone. If you want to connect, join our WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GBNrqkP0AUD4O4XCydmhgM?mode=gi_t Teachers and organisers Sara & Nemanja are competitive dancers and teachers who discovered their love for tango and now want to share it! Students under 28 receive a discount. Contact us for any questions! :)

Join us for an evening about content management in large organizations, and who's actually using what. This Meetup looks at how government agencies and big companies in Germany and Austria choose their CMS. WordPress, TYPO3, Magnolia, Craft CMS, Drupal. They're all on the table. What drives the decision? Where does open source have the edge? And where does WordPress fit in when the stakes are high? Expect real-world examples, honest comparisons, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 18:30 live, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ 18:45 – Martin Mucha **„Die CMS des Bundes: Auswahlkriterien für große Organisationen"** Germany runs a lot of TYPO3. Austria leans toward Magnolia, Craft CMS, and WordPress. But which platform ends up in which project, and why? In this talk, Martin Mucha walks through the CMS landscape in public-sector and enterprise contexts. Which systems are actually in use, what criteria drive the decision, and where each platform has its strengths and its limits. He'll cover TYPO3, Magnolia, WordPress, and Craft CMS with a practical focus on what large organizations actually care about when choosing a system. Martin Mucha is a web developer, WordPress enthusiast, and co-host of the WP Meetup Vienna. ⏱️ 19:45 – Nico Grienauer **„Open Source & Drupal in der EU"** The EU has a clear preference for open-source software. Drupal has become one of the go-to platforms in European institutions. But why? In this talk, Nico Grienauer looks at where open source is gaining ground in the EU, why Drupal specifically keeps coming up, and what that means for the broader CMS ecosystem. Whether you work with WordPress, evaluate platforms for larger projects, or just want to understand the enterprise CMS landscape in Europe, this Meetup will give you practical insights, fresh perspectives, and good conversations with fellow web professionals. See you in Vienna! 🍻 ★ Speaker wanted!
