**Our second Product Owner Club is coming up and this time we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts currently reshaping our roles as product people: AI.** We’re excited to be **hosted by** **SQUER** **📍 [Althanstraße 4/3/63, 1090 Wien](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zysnKBZEobcA2pHz5)** **Thank you for helping the product community come together!** **Agenda:** 🕕 18:00 — Doors open & welcome 🎤 18:30 — Session #1: Alexander Schwingenschrot 🎤 19:15 — Session #2: Maurizio Rinder & Julian Tandler 🍕 20:00 — Networking with drinks & pizza **Session #1 by Alexander Schwingenschrot – Senior Consultant / AI-Manager @ adesso Austria GmbH** **The Product Owner as an "Intellectual Tourist"? How Psychological Safety Rescues Our Critical Thinking from AI.** You know the feeling: The backlog is overflowing, pressure is high, and suddenly GenAI generates your user stories, acceptance criteria, and market analyses in seconds. Sounds like a dream, right? The ticket is ready, let the sprint begin. But what happens when we switch our thinking to "autopilot"? We risk becoming mere "middle managers of our own thoughts," outsourcing the hard work of critical thinking to an algorithm. AI makes us incredibly fast—but without true psychological safety within the team to challenge the machine (and each other), we degrade into mere rubber-stampers. That’s not just dangerous for the product; it fundamentally alters the core of what Product Ownership is all about. In his talk, Alexander breaks down: * why AI becomes an innovation killer without a culture that embraces failure (Automation Bias), * what the "Intellectual Tourist" concept actually means for your daily Product Discovery, and * how you as a PO can maintain "Meaningful Human Control" without sacrificing the speed of AI. **Session #2 by Maurizio Rinder, Lead Product Engineer @ SQUER & Julian Tandler, Principal Consultant Product Management @ SQUER** **What If the Answer to Every Feature Debate Was "Let's Find Out This Week"? A PM's Guide to AI in 2026** You know the drill: Three stakeholders, three opinions, no data. Everyone argues about what to build next, and two months later only a handful of people used the feature. But what if "let's just find out" was a real answer? When AI makes building cheap, you can stop debating and start testing. That's not just a new tool in your PM toolkit, it's a structural shift in what the role is about. In his talk, * Julian breaks down what's actually changing, and goes hands-on with real examples, * Before Maurizio makes the case why this redefines what it means to be a developer, too. **Like last time, the sessions will be hands-on and interactive. There will be space to discuss, challenge, and exchange with fellow colleagues.** We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones to the community. **Connect**... get to learn peers from different industries. **Learn**... how other Product Leaders deal with different situations. **Profit**... from shared experiences and thrive even more in your role. **Please be fair and only click “attend” on Meetup if you’re truly planning to join, so we can plan foods and drinks accordingly.** Last time we had a **show-rate of 92%**, let's keep this up 😃 **Best regards, Alex & Miriam**

We invite **photographers, videographers, content creators, and creatives in marketing and brand development** to an afterwork evening at **SCULPTORS Event Atelier**.

**\*\*\* Enrollment and all info** [https://www.iicv.at/intermediate-classes](https://www.iicv.at/intermediate-classes)**\*\*\*** **Description:** **Come join for a journey of some of the nitty-gritty of improv performance.** We’ll work on scene work, stage presence, breaking out of our patterns, finding fun in the stillness, and stillness in the craziness of Improv. This is for improvisers who understand the foundations and concepts of improv and want that extra challenge to perform or refine their performance skills. **Teacher:** Shawn Fisher Shawn Fisher is an improviser, performer, and educator. With over 15 years of experience in improv, you can see him with The English Lovers, one of Vienna’s longest-standing improv groups, Two-Buttons Short, and with Rainbow’s Last Wish. Originally from the US, he has taught classes, workshops and led open improv sessions in Vienna since 2018, fostering community where curiosity leads the way. ​ Whether directing, MCing, or coaching at venues like Vienna’s Maestro, Shawn thrives on the spontaneity and connection of live performance—especially when leaning into the fantastical.

Wir besuchen gemeinsam einen Vortrag im Queer Museum Vienna. Der Vortrag ist Teil der Reihe „What’s Missing?“: Kunsthistorikerinnen und Künstlerinnen beleuchten darin Erscheinungsformen von Queerness aus verschiedenen Kulturen und historischen Epochen – von der westlichen Renaissance über die jugoslawische Kunst der 1970er bis zur zeitgenössischen schwarzafrikanischen Kunst. Kleidung als kulturelles Konstrukt von Geschlecht, Macht und Ordnung – Referentin Anjelika Spöth nimmt uns mit auf eine kritische Reise durch Kleidung als Zeichensystem: Wie bestimmt das, was wir tragen, wie Körper gelesen, bewertet und reguliert werden? Und wie wirken diese historischen Konstrukte bis heute in unserem Alltag nach? 🤝 Treffpunkt: 18:15 Uhr im Eingangsbereich des Museums (drinnen)

This event will include a workshop, discussion and community formation. It’s aimed at sex workers and trans people looking to connect, and everyone interested in learning. WHEN?

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
