Then, we do a short introduction round where everyone - guests too - say a few words on the evening's topic. * **Word of the Day** A challenge that builds your language skills and sharpens your attention to word choice. A special word is introduced and everyone is invited to use this word whenever they speak. * **Table Topics** This is an exciting segment! Volunteers - guests too! - are invited to speak for 1-2 minutes on a surprise question or topic. It's a great way to practice thinking on your feet. * ***Short Break of 10 minutes*** * **Prepared Speeches** * Members deliver speeches prepared ahead of time, usually 5-7 minutes in length. Each speech is a step in the Toastmasters learning pathway. * **Evaluations** Every speech will be thoughtfully evaluated by a designated Evaluator. These evaluations focus on strengths, improvement tips, and encouragement. It's a crucial part of the Toastmasters experience. * **Role Reports** Throughout the meeting, members take on supportive roles that ensure the flow of the evening and give everyone a chance to grow. **Be our guest!** This meetup is open to guests. Toastmasters have a separate platform for the member registration. There are always 10+ people in the meeting.

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.

**Ein bisschen Glitzer, ein bisschen Pop und ganz viel Brompton!** Am **14\. Mai** führt uns unser Brompton Social Ride quer durch die **Eurovision Song Contest**-Stimmung in Wien – inklusive einem Abstecher zur Wiener Stadthalle, um uns den Eventstandort einmal aus nächster Nähe anzuschauen, bevor wir weiter zum Haus der Geschichte Österreich rollen. Dort tauchen wir gemeinsam in die Ausstellung **„Unstoppable! Eurovision Song Contest Highlights im Museum“** ein. **Beschreibung der Ausstellung:** Unpolitisch? Wohl kaum. Zwar sind politische Botschaften beim Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) offiziell verboten, doch sie finden dennoch ihren Weg auf die Bühne – manchmal laut, manchmal subtil. Denn auch große Unterhaltung erzählt immer von ihrer Zeit. Treffpunkt ist um 17:00 in der Brompton Junction Vienna, von dort fahren wir gemeinsam los – zuerst zur Stadthalle, danach weiter Richtung Neue Burg. Vor Ort lassen wir uns durch die Ausstellung treiben und nehmen ein Stück ESC-Geschichte mit. **Wichtig:** Bitte nehmt ein Schloss mit — Wir werden unsere Räder vor der Burg abstellen. Für die Rückfahrt braucht man vielleicht Lichter. Es sind keine festen Stops entlang der Route geplant – aber natürlich lassen wir uns Zeit und genießen die Fahrt. Wie immer gilt: kein Rennen!

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
