Please arrive by 6:20 PM, the meeting starts at 6:30 PM👉No registration or dress code is needed, the event is FREE.👉NOTE: We will have signs in the place so you can locate easily the Toastmasters Meeting room. --- Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

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.

📍 Where: Hungary 🇭🇺 📅 When: May 18 -> May 25 📩 How to join: Feel free to contact me via Meetup chat or shoot me a DM on Instagram: pangolin_travel 📸 Hey everyone! 👋 Ready for an unforgettable road trip? 🚗✨ I'm organizing an adventure to explore the absolute best of Hungary's nature, lakes, and vibrant city vibes, and I'm looking for travel buddies to share the journey! 🚙💨 What to expect: 🌳🦇 This trip is the perfect mix of nature escapes and urban exploration. We will start our Monday by picking up our rental car in Budapest and hitting the road to discover the country's best-kept secrets. Having a car gives us total freedom to explore at our own pace and find the coolest hidden spots! 🌬️ We will hike through the beautiful, dense beech forests of the Bükk National Park 🌲 and explore the stunning volcanic hills overlooking Lake Balaton 🌋. Don't worry, you don't need to be a hiking pro! 🛑 The trails are intermediate, safe, and super rewarding. Depending on what the group feels like, we can also mix things up with some awesome optional experiences -> like joining a guided exploration of the hidden caves near the capital 🦇 or going for a chilled kayaking session on the lake 🛶. After all that nature, we will drive back to Budapest for an epic grand finale ✨. Expect an amazing balance of active days on the trail, scenic road trip drives, and relaxing our tired muscles in the famous historic thermal baths 🧖‍♂️. One of my favorite ways to end a day of exploring is finding a great spot to try new craft beers and traditional local food -> I am always on the hunt for a cold pint and good conversations at the Ruin Pubs! 🍻🍲 What is INCLUDED: ✅ 🏡 Accommodation: Top-rated social hostels to rest our legs, hang out, and meet great people! 🚗 Car Rental: Total freedom to reach national parks and lakes without train schedules. ⛽ Gas / Fuel: Covered for our whole road trip route. If you love active travels, sharing good vibes, and ending the day with a cold craft beer and lots of laughs, this adventure is for you! 🙌 Let’s go explore Hungary! 🇭🇺🔥📍 Where: Hungary 🇭🇺

*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!* \-\-\- 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** This is a facilitated experience, not just a meeting. We don’t just book a table; we curate a journey. Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. **🌟** TOPIC FOR THIS EDITION ​Most professional environments demand a mask of constant performance, leaving little room for the realities of the human behind the title. In this special edition, we are opening the **Black Box** to address the strategic and personal topics the business world often ignores. First, we’ll look inward to reclaim our foundations, navigating the invisible life cycles and health transitions we face in silence. It's about choosing your own rhythm in a world that demands you go faster. We then shift to our impact on the system around us, exploring how our individual acts of grit create a ripple effect that changes the professional landscape for every woman at the table. ​ WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited. HOW TO JOIN US? 👉 **STEP 1:** Register here on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** Get your ticket on [Luma](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) 🔗 Link also pinned in the comments for easy mobile access. WHAT IS INCLUDED? The support fee for this edition is €15 (5,800 HUF), which includes: * ⚓️ 2 hours of expert-led facilitation and curated dialogue * ☕ Your first coffee or tea (so you can simply arrive and settle in) * 🏠 Exclusive access to our private Facebook community * 💜 Supporting our work to create steady anchors for professional women * 🎫 All platform and transaction fees are also included. **If you feel called to create real connection in Budapest within a female-only community, we can’t wait to welcome you.** 💜 👉 [To secure your spot, please register here](https://luma.com/6tlaga8h) \-\-\- \-\-\- Follow us on ​[LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/17220029/)\| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/womenscoffeenetwork/?hl=es) \| [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/womenscoffeenetworkglobal) to see the atmosphere of our gatherings and get a daily dose of grounding.

Join us for the new session of our discussion series **“A Night With…”**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages. Following our last session, where we explored the journey of Orpheus, this the time to delve into the *nostos* (gr. "homecoming") of Odysseus, and moreover into this complex but manifold character. **What to expect:** * I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Odysseus’ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections. * After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work. * If you’re an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group. **Before the event:** Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Odysseus’ myth (provided below👇🏽) and think of: * A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story. * Any modern parallels or insights you’d like to discuss. This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**. ### ### **🌊The story of Odysseus in Brief** **🏛️ Chaper 1. Before Troy – The Mind of Odysseus** Odysseus, king of Ithaca, is not the strongest Greek hero—that is Achilles—but he is the most intelligent, strategic, and persuasive. His defining traits: **Metis** **Persuasion and diplomacy** **Pragmatism:** Key early acts of wit: 1\. Avoiding the war \(feigned madness\) When Helen is taken to Troy, Odysseus tries to avoid joining the war. He pretends to be insane—ploughing the fields and sowing salt. But Palamedes tests him by placing his infant son Telemachus in front of the plough. Odysseus swerves to avoid harming him, revealing his sanity. 2\. Recruiting Achilles Odysseus is sent to find Achilles, who is hidden among women to avoid war. Odysseus cleverly lays out jewels and weapons; Achilles instinctively chooses the weapons, revealing himself. 3\. The Oath of Tyndareus Before Helen’s marriage, Odysseus had proposed a solution to avoid conflict: all suitors swear to defend the chosen husband. This idea later binds the Greek kings together in the Trojan War. **⚔️ Chapter 2. The Trojan War – Strategy Over Strength** During the ten-year war, Odysseus becomes indispensable not for combat, but for turning points. Key contributions: 1\. The theft of the Palladium 2\. The Trojan Horse \(his greatest invention\) **🌊 Chapter 3. The *Nostos *** After victory, Odysseus’ journey home takes another 10 years. This is where his intelligence is constantly tested, but also where his flaws emerge. Main episodes: **🧠 The Cyclops (Polyphemus)** **👉 This triggers Poseidon’s curse** **🍃 The Bag of Winds** **🧙 Circe** **⚰️ The Underworld** **🎶 The Sirens** **⚖️ Scylla and Charybdis** **🏝️ Calypso** **🏠Chapter 4. Return to Ithaca** After 20 years, Odysseus returns, but does not reveal himself. His palace is overrun by suitors. They consume his wealth and pressure Penelope to remarry. He returns as a beggar, observes before acting, thus testing loyalty (servants, son Telemachus, wife). Gradually reveals himself only to trusted individuals: Telemachus and a few loyal servants Penelope in her final attempt to stop the suitors, launches a challenge: only the man who can string Odysseus’ bow can marry her. None succeed. Odysseus (in disguise) strings it effortlessly. He reveals himself and kills them. **⚖️ Chapter 5. After Ithaca: Beyond the Happy Ending** The story doesn’t simply end with victory. Families of the suitors seek revenge, and civil conflict threatens Ithaca. Athena intervenes by imposing peace Ends the cycle of violence. 📃📜**Principal ancient sources:** * Homer, *Iliad* * Homer, *Odyssey* * Sophokles, *Ajax*, *Philoktetes* * Euripides, *Hecuba*, *Cyclops* * Ovid, *Metamorphoses* * Virgil, *Aeneid* * Dante Alighieri, *Divina Commedia - Inferno* | | | --- | |

🚀☁️ Visszatérünk a Shiwaforce-ba, itt a következő AWS User Group Budapest Meetup! ☁️🚀 Számlázás, reselling, partnerprogram – és egy AI agent, amely valós időben fizet a nevünkben. Ezen az estén az AWS gyakorlati, operációs oldala kerül a középpontba: változások, amelyek nem a tech hírek középpontjában szerepelnek, mégis közvetlenül érintik a mindennapi munkát. *** 🗓️ Program: **17:30 – Megnyitó** Balassy Mihály @ AWS User Group Budapest Rövid köszöntő, hírek a közösségről **17:35 – Hogyan változik az AWS partneri értékelése 2026-ban?** Hegedüs-Csapó Veronika – Business Development Manager @ TD SYNNEX Hungary 2026-ban az AWS nem csak technológiailag újít – a számlázás, a viszonteladói modell és a partnerprogram területén is jelentős változások zajlanak, amelyek sok céget közvetlenül érintenek. Veronika előadásában ezeket járja körbe: * 💳 Billing Transzfer – mi változott és kire hat? * 🔄 A reselling modellt érintő újítások * 🏅 Program- és kompetencia-változások – az adminisztratív kötelezettségtől a mérhető piaci előnyig **18:05 – Amikor az AI agentek fizetik a számlát: x402 élesben AWS-en** Varga György Márk – Product Developer @ Shiwaforce Az x402 egy nyílt fizetési protokoll, amelyet eredetileg a Coinbase fejlesztett ki, és ma már a Linux Foundation gondozásában fut – olyan nevek támogatásával, mint az AWS, a Google, a Stripe és a Visa. A HTTP 402 státuszkódra építve lehetővé teszi, hogy AI ügynökök és API-k közvetlenül, egyetlen webes kérés keretében fizessenek egymásnak – fiók, előfizetés vagy API kulcs nélkül. Az előadáson: * 🔍 Megértjük, hogyan működik a protokoll * ⚡ Élő demó: fizetős API CloudFront + Lambda@Edge segítségével * 🤖 Bedrock AgentCore-on futó ügynök, amely autonóm módon fizet * 🛡️ Governance réteg: költési limitek és engedélyezett célpontok kezelése **🎉 Zárás: Kvíz & Networking** Ajándékok is lesznek – szóval érdemes figyelni előadás közben! 😄 Majd jön a jól megérdemelt 🍕 pizza és 🍺 sör, és folytatódik a közösségi beszélgetés. *** Gyere el, találkozz az AWS közösséggel, értesülj elsők között a 2026-os változásokról, és lásd élőben, ahogy egy AI agent fizeti a számlát! 🤖💳☁️ Várunk szeretettel! 🤝✨
