SEO Meetup #18: AI SEO workshop
**A 2026-os meetup évadot egy AI SEO workshoppal indítjuk: valós projekten, lépésről lépésre vesszük végig az AI Search és SEO folyamatát, gyakorlati, kevésbé ismert tippekkel. Előadó: Papp Gábor (The Pitch).**
**Program:**
* 17:45 – 18:00: érkezés
* 18:05 – 19:30: AI SEO workshop
* 19:30 – 19:45: Q&A
* 20:00-ig esemény zárás, kötetlen beszélgetés
**Regisztráció:**
Az eseményen való részvétel ingyenes, de a létszámkorlát miatt regisztrációhoz kötött. Regisztrálni a Meetup felületén tudsz. Az eseményre csak akkor tudjuk biztosítani a belépésed, ha ezt legkésőbb az eseményt megelőző napon éjfélig megteszed.
**Egyéb információk:**
A terem befogadóképessége 50 fő. Aki RSVP-zik, de nem tud jönni, az legkésőbb 24 órával a meetup kezdése előtt mondja le a részvételi szándékát. Mások elől ne vegyük el a helyet!
A meetupot követően az előadások slide-jait mindig a Meetup rendszerén keresztül küldjük ki, így automatikusan megkapja az, aki valóban ott is volt az eseményen. Ez akkor működik, ha nem iratkozol le a hírlevelekről (Meetup szolgálati közlemények).
A workshopról és az élő kódolásról nem készül felvétel és nem kerül streamelésre sem.

KÓRTÖRTÉNET Reining Vivien kiállításának megnyitója
Reining Vivien kiállítása a családi emlékezet törékeny rétegeit tárja fel, az emlékezés és felejtés közötti bizonytalan határmezsgyén. Az alkotói kutatás az anyai nagymama fotógyűjteményéből és az elmesélt, illetve elhallgatott családi történetekből indul ki. Ezek az emléktöredékek nem csupán kiindulópontként szolgálnak, hanem magát az alkotói folyamatot is meghatározzák.
A munkák központi technikai eleme a viasz visszakaparása, amely nem pusztán formai megoldás, hanem az emlékezés vizuális metaforája. A beviaszolt felület feltárása az (újra)emlékezés gesztusaként jelenik meg. A kép nem egyszerre tárul fel, hanem hiányokon, torzulásokon és elmosódásokon keresztül válik láthatóvá. Az alkotás folyamata így párhuzamba kerül az emlékek felidézésének bizonytalan, gyakran töredékes természetével.
A KÓRTÖRTÉNET nem egy dokumentációt mutat be, hanem érzékeny képi lenyomatot ad a felejtésről, az emlékezés sérülékenységéről és arról, hogyan válik az identitás bizonytalanná, amikor a személyes múlt darabjai lassan eltűnnek.
Megnyitó: 2026. 02. 19. 18:00
**Megnyitja: Kallós Judit, művészettörténész**
**Helyszín: Paloma Artspace Galéria**
(1053 Budapest, Kossuth Lajos u. 14 –16. udvarban az emeleti jobb sarokban)
A megnyitó és a kiállítás is ingyenesen látogatható. Regisztráció nem szükséges.
Entrepreneurs & Freelancers Budapest: Beers & Business Hangout
**Looking to connect with other business-minded people in Budapest?**
Join us for a laid-back evening at **Beer People**, a craft beer bar owned and run by digital nomads who turned their Budapest dream into a local business. It is the perfect spot to share stories over a drink, whether that is one of their many craft beers, a cider, a spirit, a glass of wine, or something nonalcoholic.
There is no formal agenda, just good vibes, real conversations, and a few tables reserved for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives who understand the ups and downs of building your own path.
We look forward to meeting you.
Reunión de juntaletras.
El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores.
No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.
DevBP #13: P-AI-R Programming, from Mobbing to Agents
Join us for an evening dedicated to the evolving landscape of software engineering. As our tools become more powerful, our focus shifts from simply writing syntax to building architecture and stronger teams.
We’ll explore two distinct sides of this evolution: the human side, where **peer and mob programming** foster trust and shared ownership, and the technical side, where **AI agents** allow us to "print code" and one-shot complex features. Whether you are looking to improve "team quality" or manage the "review bottleneck" of AI-driven development, this meetup offers practical insights for every engineer.
This English-language event will be held at the **Formlabs Budapest office**, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations.
Arrival is from 17:30, Announcements and agenda at 17:55, first presentations will start at 18:00.

**Peer Programming to increase "Team Quality"**
**with [Nico Riedmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nico-riedmann/)**
Most engineers are familiar with pair programming. Your team may already encourage it to foster learning or as an alternative to ensuring code quality via pull-request reviews. This talk will show you the impact that collaboratively creating code has on "team quality" rather than just "code quality" - creating opportunities to build trust, increase shared ownership, and define and better understand a shared vision. And if you weren’t convinced before, we’ll end with a few practical tips on getting started with pair and mob-programming.
**One-Shotting Features: The Reality of Agentic Workflows**
**With [János Molnár](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j%C3%A1nos-moln%C3%A1r-9b582896/)**
This talk explores our journey from using AI as a glorified auto-complete to one-shotting complex features.
I’ll discuss our team’s evolution from using AI for basic code generation to adopting agentic workflows that shift our focus toward planning and architecture. We’ll explore the benefits of this high-level approach alongside the "review bottleneck" that occurs when AI velocity outpaces human auditing, and how we adapted our processes while releasing and building our Greenhouse project.

How to Kill Your Business: Learn From Real-World Failure
**We are back. And by popular demand: We are finally doing this on a Friday!**
For Event #4, we’re flipping the script. Forget the best practices. This time, we're focusing on **worst practices.** We’ll dissect real business failures through three lenses: legal, psychological, and marketing. Decisions that looked smart on paper, passed approval, and still detonated.
We’ll revisit familiar disasters like **Theranos** and **Fyre Festival**, then go deeper into lesser-known, more uncomfortable cases and even scandals including global brand implosions and local examples like **Shrooly**.
**This isn’t about laughing at failure.** It’s about understanding how smart teams convince themselves bad ideas are good ones, and learning how to spot the moment everything starts going wrong.
**The Agenda & What You'll Learn**
Three angles, one goal: Make sure you don't end up on this list next year.
* **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink (it's Friday!), and connect.
* **18:00 – 18:15: How NOT to run your business (legal angle).** We look at the structural red flags that sink ships. From the valuation hallucinations of **WeWork** to the **Honey scam** and local hardware flops like **Shrooly**. We’ll cover how to mismanage cash, ignore the law, and implode your company from the inside out.
* **18:15 – 18:30: How NOT to gain customers (marketing angle).** “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” is how this always starts. Then the backlash hits. We’ll break down campaigns that went viral for all the wrong reasons - from **Pepsi and Bumble** to **Bud Light and Apple** \- unpacking how rebrands\, stunts\, and culture\-driven ads cross the line from attention to alienation\, and how brands lose their audience because of some 'viral' ideas\.
* **18:30 – 18:35:** **🎁** A super secret surprise
* **18:35 – 18:50: How NOT to handle customers (psychological angle).** Users don’t leave when something breaks, instead they leave when something feels off. We’ll explore dark UX patterns, manipulative design, and behavioral shortcuts that quietly cross ethical lines from **friend.com** to platforms that optimized engagement until users turned hostile. This is how loyal users become your loudest critics.
* **18:50 – 19:00:** A very special announcement
* **19:00 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks.
* **20:00 onwards:** We are heading to a nearby bar. Since **nobody** has work tomorrow, we expect the conversation to go late.
**Who Is This For?**
This is for freelancers, digital nomads, and founders in Budapest who want to disaster-proof their work. Join a community of curious, open-minded people for an honest conversation. No corporate fluff, just genuine connections. If you want actionable takeaways on what *not* to do, this is for you.
**Location**
We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space.
**The Legal Bit**
Our imaginary lawyers (who are currently panicking about this event topic) wanted us to mention that we'll be taking some photos. By attending, you consent to this.
Thanks for reading, see you on **the 20th**!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for February is "Transitions"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**
**👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)**
####
A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom.
Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank.
They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic.
This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable.
**Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**
We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event.
John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has:
* Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions**
* Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property**
* **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital
John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy.
For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached.
**What You’ll Learn**
John will break down, in simple terms:
* Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on
* Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer
* How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time
* How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster
* What changes once rentals become free and clear
This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course.
John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios.
**The Core Idea**
When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.**
When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.**
Most people only see one timeline…30 years.
This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear.
**Who This Event Is For**
This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper.
* Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income
* New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in
* People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan
* Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones
**Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30)
**Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required)
**👉 Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)**
If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
