Es ist sowohl ein Platz zum Ausprobieren für neue ImprospielerInnen als auch zum Üben und Weiterentwickeln für erfahrene ImprospielerInnen. Eintritt: Freie Spende! For Improv in the english language please have a look at the International Improv Community in Vienna ([IICV](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/International-Improv-Wien/)) on meetup!

**Welcome!** I’m glad you’re joining the next **Own Yourself— Leadership for Ambitious Women** meetup. Each time we focus on a specific situation where leadership breaks down in practice, not in theory. We don’t share for the sake of sharing. We look at what is actually happening, and what needs to change. You’ll leave with: * clarity on what’s really driving your situation * a different way to approach it * a shift you can apply immediately Limited to 8 women to keep it focused.

Dear friends In this early saison, several species of orchids are flowering already in the *Danube wetlands.* And loudly begins the pairing time of the frogs and of the marsh warblers as well. Let us make a walkabout through this pretty area, hoping that we can still see some birds, through the sheets of the trees almost completely raised out. Our meeting point is the Station **U2 Donaustadtbrücke** After this walk, we can stop for a bite to eat and drink near the **Station** **of 92 B. T**he bus who brings us back to the city again. Liebe Leute, In den Doanauauen blühen bereits verschiedene Arten Knabenkräuter und andere seltene Blumen . Auch die Paarungszeit der Frösche und der Sumpfrohrsänger hat schon lautstark begonnen. Bei einem Rundgang sehen wir hoffentlich auch noch einige Vögel, bevor die Blätter der Bäume restlos ausgetrieben haben. Unser Treffpunkt ist die **U2 Station Donaustadtbrücke** Nach einer Tour durch die Auen können wir in einem Lokal in der Nähe **der Busstation vom 92B** noch etwas Essen und Trinken, bevor wir in die Stadt zurückfahren. Ich freue mich auf euch Adi

📢 **Upcoming IEEE Blockchain Austria Meetup** 🗓 **Wednesday, May 6th, 2026** 🕕 **18:00–20:00 CET** 📍 **WU Wien** EA.5.044 🎙 **Mark Richardson** (Project Lead, Bancor Protocol) *** 🔍 **Topic: DEX MEV in Closed Form (Sandwich Attacks)** *** We’re pleased to host **Mark Richardson**, Project Lead at **Bancor** Protocol. Mark holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne and transitioned from research science into DeFi in 2021. At Bancor, he has been leading the development of **Carbon DeFi**, a system enabling strategy-specific liquidity provision and more expressive market participation. His work focuses on combining rigorous quantitative methods with practical protocol design, while maintaining decentralization, user safety, and simplicity. This talk provides an analytical and algebraic examination of **Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Maximal Extracted Value (MEV)**, focusing specifically on the sandwich attack mechanism. Mark derives the closed-form solution for computing the optimal, profit-maximizing sandwich attack in the prototypical x\*y=k AMM. The variables, constraints, and the objective function that an MEV searcher must solve when exploiting a pending DEX trade by a naive user are explicitly defined and elaborated. Specifically, the talk provides the details for calculating exact, optimal front-run and back-run trade sizes, illustrated by numeric examples. This rigorous, quantitative work is essential for designing and evaluating future mechanisms aimed at mitigating or redistributing MEV in blockchain economies. The seminar is aimed at researchers and practitioners interested in mechanism design, applied cryptography, market engineering, DeFi, AMMs, and applied cryptoeconomics

You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **What this really is** This is a space for people who are: * building something * figuring things out * or simply trying to stay on track **without doing it alone** You don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward. **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything. **Why people keep coming back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” **Time and Location** 🕐 **Time:** 9:30 AM – 12:30 NOON 💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

Real progress. **First time joining?** We are near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
