Hát nem sok annyira félreértett, félrehasznált és félremagyarázott fogalom kering a mai vállalati informatika világában, mint a **Spotify modell**. Az agilis alapú vállalati működés környékén szokott felbukkanni, rengetegen beszélnek róla, mindenkinek van róla véleménye, de senki nem tudja, mi is ez pontosan. Mitől lett ekkora a hype a fogalom körül? Mit is tartalmaz a "modell" valójában, már ha egyáltalán beszélhetünk modellről ebben az esetben? Mit használjunk belőle, ha agilis alapon szeretnénk dolgozni, és mit kukázzunk ki a bullshit szűrőnkkel? Mik a bevezetések gyakorlati tanulságai? Na ezekben a kérdésekben fogunk végre rendet vágni tabudöntögető meetup-unkon, ahol **Tokovicz György**, Közép-Európa legrockosabb agilis szakértője lesz a vendégünk, aki egyébként a Raiffeisen Bank International bécsi főhadiszállásának senior agilis tanácsadója! A helyszín Budapest belvárosa, a pontos lokációt a jelentkezők száma alapján választjuk majd ki két héttel az esemény előtt.

**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.

📅 Emerging Founders Budapest: CEE as the Launchpad Date: Friday, 6 February 2026 Location: Puzl Coworking, Budapest Language: English Organising Partner: MBH Fintechlab 🚀 CEE as the Launchpad: Connecting Polish & Hungarian Ecosystems It's an Emergencee. The CEE startup ecosystem is rising to prominence, but to truly scale, we need cross-border alliances. We are bringing the Emerging Founders energy to Budapest for a special edition focused on connecting the Polish and Hungarian startup scenes. Expect a raw, honest conversation about what it takes to launch globally from CEE and wheather the CEE make sense as an expansion ground. Followed by a high-energy "Pitch Battle" where a contingent of Polish and Hungarian startups go head-to-head. No fluff, just real feedback, genuine connections, and a curated crowd of founders, VCs, and operators. Emerging Founders is a founder-to-founder community built around a simple belief: you will never grow alone. We connect and support CEE founders on their way to scale globally, through curated events and long-term relationships (not an accelerator, not a one-off conference). Budapest is our next stop because CEE is strongest when we treat it as a region, not a set of isolated markets—and because scaling globally rarely happens in isolation.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
