**\*\*\* 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.

This event is organized as an on-site event only. **OT-Security and a bit more** **1\. Talk: "OWASP Top 10 … but for OT?\!​"** By: Siegfried Hollerer **2\. Talk:** **"Recurring Security Pitfalls in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Cross-Domain Analysis"** By: Matthias Eckhart and Philipp-Sebastian Vogt **Talk language:** English **On-site event only!:** Floragasse 7, 1040 Vienna (5. floor) Further information will be announced soon! **Agenda** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 17:55: Gathering 18:05: Welcome 18:10: **Talk:** **"OWASP Top 10 … but for OT?!​**" 18:40: **Talk:"Recurring Security Pitfalls in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Cross-Domain Analysis"** 19:30: Food, Drinks & Get together Looking forward to seeing you there! **Talks & Speaker Details:** **Talk 1: "OWASP Top 10 … but for OT?!​**" Operational Technology (OT) encompasses a wide variety of programmable systems and devices that have direct or indirect interactions with the physical environment. These technologies are integral to numerous sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, medical, and utilities, where they play a crucial role in the operation and management of physical processes. As OT systems become more interconnected and integrated with Information Technology (IT) networks, they face increased vulnerability to large-scale cyber attacks. This integration, while beneficial for operational efficiency and data sharing, exposes OT systems to the same cyber threats that typically target IT environments. The goal of the OWASP OT Top 10 is to raise awareness about the top security risks and vulnerabilities specific to OT environments. **Speaker:** **Siegfried** **Hollerer** has seven years of experience as a penetration tester, focusing on the analysis of web applications, IT/OT infrastructures, and social engineering attacks. In addition to his practical experience, he has obtained an OSCP certificate. Furthermore, Siegfried has gained experience in incident response. During this time, he also carried out security management consultations, audits and certifications based on the OT security standard IEC 62443 and the IT security standard ISO 27000. In 2023, Siegfried joined the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) in Austria as a security architect and analyst to enforce the “Netz- und Informationssystemsicherheitsgesetz” (NISG), which is the national implementation of the NIS EU directive [cf. Directive (EU) 2016/1148] . **Talk 2: "Recurring Security Pitfalls in Cyber-Physical Systems: A Cross-Domain Analysis"** Cyber-physical systems (CPS) repeatedly exhibit similar security weaknesses across domains, despite differing technologies and operational contexts. This talk explores recurring security pitfalls in areas such as manufacturing, energy, and aerospace. By analyzing common patterns, we reveal the root causes and discuss strategies for designing more resilient CPS architectures and engineering practices. **Speaker:** **Matthias Eckhart** is a postdoctoral scientist at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. Previously, he worked on privacy and responsible AI at Amazon, conducted security research at SBA Research, and developed software at NXP Semiconductors. **Philipp-S. Vogt** is a research engineer and PhD candidate at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. Vogt received a MSc in electrical engineering from TU Wien. His research interests include cyber-physical systems, embedded systems and cyber security.

Hi everyone, On **Saturday, April 4**, 2026, I’m planning a beautiful spring hike in the **UNESCO-Region Wachau** from **Paudorf** to the **Mammoth trees** (Sequoia trees, Redwood trees) and (hopefully) **blooming apricot tree gardens** near Angern to our final destination to **Göttweig abbey** (Stift Göttweig) in **Furth bei Göttweig**.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
