Paulinyi Kerekasztal: AI, BIM és a tech titkai
**Details / Részletek**
**The language of the event is Hungarian 🇭🇺**
Tudtad, hogy az építőipar digitális transzformációja nem a jövő, hanem a jelen? A **Paulinyi & Partners**-nél nemcsak követik a trendeket, hanem aktívan alakítják is azokat. Ebben a rendhagyó kiadásban szakítunk a hagyományos prezentációkkal: egy **exkluzív kerekasztal-beszélgetés** keretében faggatjuk az iroda szakértőit a legizgalmasabb belső fejlesztéseikről és munkafolyamataikról.

* 🤖 **AI az építészetben:** Belső modellek, tesztelés és bevezetés a gyakorlatban.

* 📈 **Belső folyamatok és tudásbázis:** Ismerd meg a "Paulinyi Wikit" és a hatékony template-ek világát!
* 🏗️ **BIM és Hatékonyság:** Hogyan oktatják a kollégákat, és milyen IT-rendszer kell egy modern iroda mögé?

BreadBreakers Community Dinner: Dialogue Over Divisions
**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.**
In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy.
Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds.
**At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com.
Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event.
We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures.
**Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.**
BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. All faiths and all stripes are welcomed. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.
