Kostenfreier Workshop zum 3-Jahrestraining mit Christian Meyer
Du möchtest Deine Persönlichkeit entfalten und Dich so zeigen, wie es Dir wirklich entspricht. Du möchtest lebendig, authentisch und kreativ, in Einklang mit Dir leben – ohne faule Kompromisse.
Bei diesem kostenfreien Info-Abend (plus Bewusstseins-Schulung) gibt Christian Meyer - Leiter des Trainings - einen Einblick in die Ausrichtung und Arbeitsweise, wie im 3-Jahrestraining mit dem Körper, Geist und den Gefühlen gearbeitet werden wird. In einem gemütlichen Rahmen im Yogastudio Schmida, (Lehargasse 1 in Wien) wirst Du Dich unter Gleichgesinnten austauschen und mit Christian vor Ort direkt in Theorie und Praxis Erfahrungen sammeln können, die Dein Bewusstseins erweitern und wahrnehmen, ob dieses Training das passende für Dich ist.
Es wird Raum geben für Deine Fragen, die Dich gerade bewegen. Eine halbstündige Pause mit Snacks, Getränken bietet zudem die Gelegenheit, um vor Ort erste Verbindung in der Community zu erleben.
Das 3-Jahrestraining ist ein Praxisweg für ganzheitliche Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, spirituelle Praxis und Integration. Es geht dabei darum, inneres Wachstum selbst in die Hand zu nehmen – nicht allein, sondern gemeinsam, in einem klaren, getragenen Rahmen.
2026 beginnt der letzte Zyklus des Dreijahres-Trainings, den Christian selbst in vollem Umfang leiten wird. **Das erste Modul findet vom 24.–28.04.2026 in Wien statt**; weitere Module folgen jeweils im Herbst und Frühjahr. Zwischen den Präsenzmodulen begleiten monatliche Online-Treffen kontinuierlich das Training zur Vertiefung der Inhalte. Viele erleben Christians Arbeit aktuell als so präzise, klar und intensiv wie selten zuvor – für viele ist das eine besondere Gelegenheit, diesen Weg noch einmal in dieser Form mit ihm zu gehen.
Christian leitet diese gesamte Veranstaltung und wird dazu online zugeschaltet. *Ein Einstieg in Modul I ist noch in München Start: Di. 17. - So. 22.03.2026 und in Wien im April 2026 möglich.*

**Baselayer Workshop 1: Transaktionen, Wallet und Sicherheit**
Du hast verstanden, warum Bitcoin wichtig ist. Jetzt geht es um den nächsten Schritt: vom Wissen zum Handeln.
Solange jemand anderes deine Bitcoin verwahrt, bist du nicht unabhängig. Erst wenn du deine Private Keys selbst kontrollierst, gehören dir deine Bitcoin wirklich. In diesem Workshop steigen wir direkt in die Praxis ein.
Du lernst, wie Bitcoin-Transaktionen funktionieren, was Self-Custody bedeutet, welche Wallet zu dir passt — und warum du deine Private Keys nie verlieren darfst. Interaktiv, in kleiner Runde.
**Programm**
09:45 — Einlass
10:00 — Wie funktionieren Transaktionen auf der Bitcoin-Blockchain?
11:00 — Vom Hot Wallet bis Cold Storage: Welche Wallet passt zu dir?
12:00 — Die wichtigsten Fragen zur Sicherheit
13:00 — Ausklang
**Details**
**Eintritt**: Frei (begrenzte Plätze — Einlass nur mit Voranmeldung!)
**Ort**: Wien: siehe Anmeldewebsite

AI Salon - THE LAST CEO
**THE LAST CEO**
What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office?
A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at.
The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite?
We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\.
**Programme:**
🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab
💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas
🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist)
🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030.
🎉 **Afterparty & Networking**
Date: March 27, 2026, 6:30 PM
Location: Funkhaus Wien, Argentinierstraße
Language: English

Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
**This meet-up is only for intermediate players and up!**
Everyone is welcome to join our large weekly events, test their skills and have some fun together! However, ***this event is for the people that want to push their skill forward and would like to play during the week as well.***
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€:
* If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available
* you can also pay via card on the spot
We are meeting at about 18.55 pm near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
If you are just passing through town and do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets, either from the club or from us. Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, **WELCOME!** We are an open and friendly group and we are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some (intermediate) badminton and have fun together!

▶️ AI Is Just JavaScript: Building Powerful Agents with Google ADK & RAG
Most valuable company data is private: documents, presentations, internal notes, yet AI tools can’t use it out of the box. In this talk, we’ll show how easy it is to build an AI agent that can securely read Google Drive data and answer real business questions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
Through a simple JavaScript demo with Google ADK and Vertex AI, you’ll see how private docs and slides can power use cases like internal knowledge assistants, onboarding bots, management Q&A, and support automation without complex ML infrastructure.
This session is for developers, founders, and tech leaders who want practical, production-ready AI use cases and a clear understanding of how to turn existing company data into useful AI agents.

🗣️ Priscila Oliveira
▶️ Comprehend First, Code Later: The AI Skill I Rely On Daily
Literally everyone is vibe coding. It's about letting AI write, commit, and ship code you never even read. Perfect for prototypes and side projects - no argument there. But what happens when you're working in a million-line codebase where you need to understand before you change? Quality code still matters.
It is widely stated in the software development community that developers spend 70–80% of their time reading and understanding existing code, not writing new code. We now have an incredibly smart tool - so why not use it for exactly that?
So I went straight to the data - 239 of my own messages from daily work at Sentry. What I found flipped the narrative: my #1 use of AI wasn't generation. It was comprehension. Whether navigating unfamiliar code or reconstructing past decisions from commit history - AI became the teammate who never gets tired of my questions.
In this talk, I'll show you the loop that actually makes me productive in a large, complex codebase: understand first, then say 'go ahead'.

🙏 Sentry
Sentry is the market leader in the error monitoring space and like many startups with engineer founders, Sentry was born out of frustration with technology. David started Sentry as an open-source side project in 2008. We started in a small community — the Django web framework — and over time expanded our technology to support dozens of other platforms, including browser JavaScript and mobile applications.
Fast forward to today, we're a $90M Series E company with a $3B valuation and 200+ employees on a mission to help developers write better software faster, so we can get back to enjoying technology. As one can see, the adventure continues to be exciting as we bring our developer-first Application Monitoring to more customers and industries worldwide.

Platform Engineering Vienna - March 2026 Meetup
Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting!
**Agenda**:
* Doors open 5:30 p.m.
* ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf
* **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government
* **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties.
Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload.
Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability.
A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing.
An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria.
* **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.**
* ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski
* **Title**: What is A(I) platform?
* **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms.
On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components.
Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each.
* **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.
