AWS Meetup Vienna #51 - hosted by Eversports
Summer is arriving in Vienna - and so is our next AWS meetup! ☀️

A big thank you to **Eversports** for supporting the community and making the meetup possible! 🙌

🗓️ **Agenda**
* **17:00 - 18:00:** Entry & Networking
* **18:00 - 18:05:** Welcome and Introduction AWS Community Vienna
* **18:05 - 18:10:** Welcome and Introduction to the sponsors (**Eversports**)

**"Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions"**
*Speaker:* **[Gunnar Grosch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnargrosch/)**\, Developer Advocate at Sinch \| ex\-AWS \| AWS Serverless Hero
*About the talk:*
Building agentic AI workflows typically requires Step Functions or complex database state machines to handle human delays. AWS Lambda Durable Functions change that. You write sequential code in a single Lambda function that can suspend for days and resume instantly, and you only pay for active compute time. In this session, we will orchestrate Amazon Bedrock conversational agents using the Sinch Conversation API to handle inbound interactions. You will learn how to dispatch AI specialists, use simple callbacks to wait for asynchronous human input, and replace heavy infrastructure boilerplate with native durable execution.
**"How RBI is automating its cloud foundation with AWS Step Functions"**
*Speaker:* **[Roman Jokel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roman-jokel/),** Cloud Architect (Raiffeisen Informatik)
**/ [Florian Ettinger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-ettinger/),** Solution Architect (AWS)
*About the talk:*
How can AWS Step Functions transform daily cloud operations? Join us to explore how RBI is using workflow orchestration to automate its cloud foundation. We’ll share practical insights from our Cloud Center of Excellence, demonstrating how Step Functions power landing zone operations, simplify automation, speed up deployments and enable scalable cloud governance across the organization.

Was ist Body Doubling?
Body Doubling ist eine Produktivitätstechnik, bei der die Anwesenheit anderer dir hilft, fokussiert, motiviert und bei der Sache zu bleiben. Ob beim Lernen, Arbeiten im Homeoffice oder anderen Aufgaben – das Arbeiten neben Gleichgesinnten kann einen echten Unterschied machen.

I train @ My Pace - with Jason
-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels-
Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out).
As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing!
How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7)
Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary.
One other thing that’s useful to know:
- In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us! We’re available via WhatsApp message (+436802355041) or email (office@mypace.at).

Does your LLM speak the same language as you? (DDD Vienna Meshup)
**Does your LLM speak the same language as you?**
*Context, Language & AI in Domain‑Driven Design*
Zutaten allein reichen nicht.
In Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) entscheiden Kontext, gemeinsame Sprache und Abgrenzung über gute Software – und über sinnvolle Nutzung von LLMs im Unternehmen.
In diesem Meetup verbinden wir strategisches DDD, Ubiquitous Language und AI:
* Warum Kontext wichtiger ist als Zutaten (erklärt am italienischen Dinner)
* Warum gemeinsame Sprache kein Glossar, sondern ein Arbeitsinstrument ist
* Wie viel Kontext ein LLM wirklich braucht – und warum unser Team denselben braucht
Wir diskutieren LLMs nicht als Ersatz für Zusammenarbeit, sondern als **Verstärker von gutem Domain‑Wissen**.
**Agenda**
* Quick Intro: Kontext als roter Faden
* Strategisches DDD: Zutaten ≠ Lösung
* Ubiquitous Language: Sprache als Entscheidungsgrundlage
* LLMs im Business: impliziter vs. expliziter Kontext
* Diskussion & Q&A

Does your LLM speak the same language as you? Context, Language & AI in Domain‑Driven Design
Ingredients alone aren't enough.
In Domain‑Driven Design (DDD), context, shared language, and clear boundaries determine good software – and the meaningful use of LLMs in an organization.
In this meetup, we connect strategic DDD, Ubiquitous Language, and AI:
Why context matters more than ingredients (explained through an Italian dinner)
Why shared language isn't a glossary, but a working instrument.
How much context an LLM really needs – and why our team needs the same
We discuss LLMs not as a replacement for collaboration, but as an amplifier of good domain knowledge.

Wenn intelligente Agenten außer Kontrolle
**Agentic AI trifft Cybersecurity – Wenn intelligente Agenten außer Kontrolle geraten**
**Die nächste Evolutionsstufe der künstlichen Intelligenz ist bereits da:**
Agentic AI Systeme, die eigenständig planen, Entscheidungen treffen und handeln – oft ohne menschliche Kontrolle. Doch was passiert, wenn genau diese Autonomie zur Gefahr wird?
KI-Agenten, die täuschend echte Phishing-Angriffe erstellen, Sicherheitsmechanismen in Echtzeit umgehen oder Netzwerke wie digitale Schläfer infiltrieren – das ist keine Zukunftsmusik mehr. Es passiert bereits heute.
Bei diesem exklusiven Abend-Event diskutieren zwei Experten an der Schnittstelle von AI und Cybersecurity über die Risiken, Chancen und die Realität autonomer KI-Systeme.
**Dr. Jeannette Gorzala**, Gründerin und CEO von ACT AI NOW sowie Vice Chair des AI Boards der österreichischen Bundesregierung, engagiert sich aktiv für AI Literacy, den European AI Act und die verantwortungsvolle Gestaltung von Künstlicher Intelligenz in Europa. Darüber hinaus bringt sie ihre Expertise als Mitglied der GPAIM Working Groups des EU AI Office der Europäischen Kommission in die europäische KI-Strategie und Regulierung ein.
NEOB Technology GmbH Gründer und CEO **Ed Prinz** gibt Einblicke in moderne Agentic-AI-Architekturen – von autonomen Tools und Multi-Step-Reasoning bis hin zu realen Anwendungen im Bereich Voice AI und Business Automation. Dabei geht es auch um die entscheidende Frage: Wo verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen hilfreichen und potenziell gefährlichen KI-Agenten?
CyberTrap CEO **Adi Reschenhofer** zeigt, wie moderne Deception-Technologien Angreifer in die Falle locken – mit Honeypots, Decoys und KI-gestützten Täuschungsmechanismen. Wenn KI gegen KI kämpft, verändert sich das Spielfeld der Cybersicherheit grundlegend.
Gemeinsam sprechen sie über Themen, die Unternehmen und CISOs zunehmend beschäftigen:
• Kann man einem KI-Agenten vertrauen, den man nicht selbst entwickelt hat?
• Wie verteidigt man sich gegen Angriffe, die lernen und sich weiterentwickeln?
• Ist die Cybersecurity-Branche schnell genug – oder sind Angreifer bereits voraus?

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited
**About the host**
Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.
