Cantonese Friends

Join us on **May 6th from 17:45** for an evening of hands-on learning, insightful talks, and networking with fellow developers and AI enthusiasts. This time, we’re focusing on how AI is transforming both individual coding workflows and large-scale engineering organizations: 📌 **Topic 1: “AI-Assisted Coding with GitHub Copilot”** Speaker: Liam Hampton, Senior Cloud Advocate, Microsoft & GitHub Join a community-led session exploring how developers can effectively use GitHub Copilot in their day-to-day work. This session will cover practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on approaches to integrating AI into your development process. Whether you’re just getting started or already using Copilot, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques to improve efficiency and code quality. All skill levels are welcome, just bring your laptop and curiosity. **📌 Topic 2: “How Betsson Scales AI** **at Org Level – Not Just per Developer”** Speaker: Kevin Nascimento, Data & AI Adoption Lead, Betsson Group In this session, Kevin shares how Betsson runs AI at real organizational scale. You’ll see how custom instructions move beyond per-repo files into a governed, tiered knowledge base used by 1,000+ developers, with department-specific overlays on top. He’ll walk through Agent Mode with mandatory human gates at every step, deep context engineering with live diagrams of what loads (and what doesn’t), and Plan Mode where planning is formalised and compliance-checked before any code is written. You’ll also see multi-agent compliance workflows in action, plus how teams build custom agents and prompts under centralized governance but with full local flexibility. A practical, inside look at building safe, scalable, enterprise-grade AI workflows. **🎯 Whether you’re a developer, engineer, or simply curious about AI in software development, this event offers valuable insights, practical takeaways, and the chance to connect with like-minded professionals.** **Seats fill up quickly, so secure your spot and join us for an evening of learning, networking, and real-world AI applications.**

**Admin Night ☻** (**May 6th**\, Wednesday 18:30 \| **Location:** Művház Kávézó) **Welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✨** *This is a community for slowing down, disconnecting from our phones and reconnecting with ourselves and others.* Usually, we gather to put our devices away, but this time the **unplugged club will be "plugged"** — so we can connect and support each other in person while tackling our to-do lists! **What is an Admin Night?** It’s a space to finally get around to those things you’ve been procrastinating on. We often carry around **"open loops"** — those unfinished tasks, unread articles, or half-planned projects that sit in the back of our minds, draining our mental energy. Whether it’s clearing your inbox, updating your resume, or finally planning that trip, let's close some loops together in a focused, cozy atmosphere. **〜 Read more about:** [what is an Admin night](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/26/health/admin-night-adults-productivity-trend-wellness) [what is "closing loops"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/open-loops-mental-exhaustion_l_6965121fe4b0ac0d12a380db) "***The Zeigarnik effect*** is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain remembers interrupted or unfinished tasks better than completed ones. (...) it suggests that unfinished tasks create cognitive tension, keeping them active in memory." **〜 What to expect** ◦ Bring your laptop, iPad, phone, or notebook — whatever you need to get your "admin" done. ◦ A dedicated block of time for focused productivity alongside others. ◦ A supportive environment to turn chores into a social, shared experience. ◦ Space to chat, share progress, and have a drink while we work. **〜 Location** Művház Kávézó Budapest, Bartók Béla út 33, 1114 **Where we are in the cafe:** We’re in the right corner on the ground floor next to a lamp! 💡 **〜 Schedule** 18:30 – Welcome, grab a drink, and share one thing you want to "cross off" tonight 19:00 – 20:30 – Focused admin time & co-working 20:30 – 21:00 – Closing reflections and informal socializing - optional **〜 Notes** ✧ The event is free, but please support the venue by purchasing a beverage or food. ✧ While devices are allowed for this specific session, we still encourage mindful usage (no scrolling!) and staying present with the group and your tasks. ✧ RSVP on Meetup to ensure we have enough table space for everyone.

💜 Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! 💜 Sziasztok PyLadiek! Ez alkalommal bepillantunk a legintenzívebben fejlődő AI-technológiák világába. Elsőként pár fogalmat és alkalmazási területet nézünk meg, majd pedig csinálunk Pythonban egy saját LLM-et. Felépítjük komponenseinket, és ki is próbáljuk, mire képes egy alaprendszer. A szünet utáni második részben az igényeinket kibővítjük, a rendszerkomponenseket nagyobb tudású elemekkel helyettesítjük, és így építünk fel egy, a gyakorlatban is használható megoldást, egy lokális RAG-rendszert. 👨‍💻 Előadó: Sepp Norbert 🗓️ Programterv Múltkori alkalmakból tanulva, most hosszabb szünetet hagyunk a ket előadás között, hogy legyen időnk beszélgetni és megismerni egymást :) • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:40 Szünet, Networking • 19:40 – 20:35 Előadás II. • 20:35 – 21:00 Záró gondolatok, elköszönés (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) 💻 Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így ajánlott, hogy legyen nálad egy programozásra alkalmas számítógép. A meetup előtt egy héttel részletes telepítési és előkészítési útmutatót küldünk. Ha régebbi vagy kisebb teljesítményű géped van, akkor sincs gond – az első részhez nem lesz szükség komolyabb erőforrásokra. 💜 Kit várunk? Olyan lányokat/nőket, akik érdeklődnek az AI és a Python iránt, és szeretnék megérteni, hogyan működnek a modern nyelvi modellek, illetve kipróbálnák magukat egy saját rendszer építésében. 📍 Helyszín Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra) Cím: 1139 Budapest, Váci út 99 🌍 Nyelv Az esemény nyelve: magyar (és Python) 🤝 Szponzor HCL Technologies Starschema Kft. Az esemény regisztrációhoz kotott! Csatlakozz a PyLadies slack csatornára! https://slackin.pyladies.com .. Ha megkaptad a meghívót, jelentkezz be, és a csatornák (channel)-ek között keresd ki a #budapest-pyladies-t. Célunk, hogy legyen egy olyan közösség, csatorna, ahová bármikor be lehessen dobni egy érdekes cikket amit olvastál, random gondolatokat vagy problémát amin elakadtál - de igazából bármit ami kapcsolódik a pythonhoz - beszélgessünk és segítsük egymást! :) Írj, akár slacken, akár itt, ha bármi kérdésed van, csatlakoznál szervezői csapatunkhoz, vagy akár te is szívesen előadnál valamilyen témában! Nagyon várjuk, hogy újra találkozhassunk! Üdvözlettel, a PyLadies Budapest szervezői 👩‍💻

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: For those seeing HOKUM, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 6:50pm! For those seeing THE SHEEP DETECTIVES, please purchase your ticket for the 7:15pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 7:00pm! For BOTH films, we’ll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby El Vaquero! For those joining for dinner, we’ll meet at El Vaquero at 5:45pm! Should be a couple of fun movies and a good time together, Dan

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Kittie's Worthington](https://kittiescakes.com/)!

Bring your business cards and network in person with other business professionals! Gold Star Referral Clubs is one of the most established professional networking organizations in the country, with multiple groups in central Ohio. Join us!

Let’s meet, wander the exhibits and open galleries, and enjoy an evening out in the Franklinton Arts District. (Nearby pay parking is available in the garage on McDowell, right around the corner from One Line Coffee, and, past it along the curb as McDowell dead ends.)
