Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity. That’s when creativity becomes easier. 📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) **Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨ Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**. Something expressive. Something bold. Something unusual. **Examples:** * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful or dramatic * something funny / absurd * something you “could never pull off”… until today No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum.** **Location** * Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**. * Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**. These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community. 🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday 📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria 💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on 🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you in front of the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting with our laptops ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Coffee price: Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5. Donations optional. **🪑Seating information:** * If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Joanna Liu** when you arrive at the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception). * There is a **long table with 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here. * There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup. * If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Joanna know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛 🌱 **What to Expect** * **Drop in anytime** between **1:00–5:00 PM** — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session * **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive * **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break. * **Social start**: from **1:00 to 1:28 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM** * **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round * **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready. * **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support * **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City** 💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed. **Who This Is For** You’ll enjoy this if you: * want real accountability (not just a desk) * have a project, goal, or task you’ve been procrastinating on * like focused work blocks with a supportive vibe * are building something (job search, freelancing, creative work, admin, studying, side project, etc.) 💬 Why Join? * Beat procrastination with gentle accountability * Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone * Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus **Group Size:** This is designed as a **small execution lab** (limited spots) to keep the energy focused and the accountability real. Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

**SME Security & Compliance Guild: Launch Event** **Secure early, scale smoothly** Join us for the first public event of the **SME Security & Compliance Guild**, a free after-work meetup in Vienna for startups and SMEs that want to strengthen cybersecurity, improve resilience, and approach compliance in a practical way. Over the past year, we have hosted similar sessions in smaller, closed circles. Since the response has been so positive, we are now opening the format to a wider community. We will meet at the **OSM Solutions office in Vienna** for an evening of expert insights, discussion, and networking. Expect **free drinks, some food, two practical talks, and open exchange** with people who care about building stronger, more resilient companies. This event is for founders, leaders, operators, IT professionals, and anyone in startups or SMEs who wants to better understand security, pentesting, governance, certifications, and regulatory requirements such as **ISO 27001, DORA, PCI DSS, and NIS2**. ## Agenda ### Talk 1 **Pentesting for SMEs: When to Do It, What to Expect, What to Avoid** Pentesting is often misunderstood. Some companies think it is only relevant for large enterprises, while others pay for low-value testing without knowing what good looks like. This session will explain when pentesting makes sense for SMEs, how professional pentests actually work, and how to get real value without wasting budget. We will cover: * the difference between automated scanning and a real pentest * when a pentest makes sense, and when it does not * what a professional pentest process actually looks like: scoping, rules of engagement, testing, reporting, and retesting * common findings in smaller companies * how to get value from a pentest without wasting budget * how pentests support customer trust, audits, certifications, and enterprise sales ### Talk 2 **Start Early, Scale Smarter: GRC for Startups and SMEs** Governance, risk, and compliance are often treated as something to deal with later. In reality, waiting too long usually makes things slower, harder, and more expensive. This session looks at why early GRC work is a strategic advantage for startups and SMEs, and how to start in a lean and practical way. We will cover: * why GRC is not just for large enterprises * what happens when companies delay structure until a customer, investor, or regulator forces it * how early work on policies, controls, responsibilities, and documentation reduces future pain * how GRC supports certifications and frameworks like ISO 27001, DORA, PCI DSS, and NIS2 * how basic governance decisions early on save time and money later * common mistakes such as spreadsheet chaos, unclear ownership, retrofitting controls, and audit panic * how SMEs can start lean without building a huge compliance machine After the talks, we will open the floor for **questions, discussion, and socialising**. Whether you are just starting your journey or already dealing with growing customer, regulatory, or certification requirements, this meetup is designed to offer **practical insight, real-world experience, and useful connections**. We look forward to welcoming you at **OSM Solutions in Vienna**.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. We’re excited to invite you to the next **UX Vienna Evening Meetup** – an evening of inspiring talks, interesting perspectives and community exchange. We’re diving into two distinct sides of the industry: the high-stakes world of healthcare and the messy, but hopefully rewarding journey of building your own tools. **UX in Healthcare** by **[Leandro Albino De Oliveira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leandro-oliveira-uxdesigner/)**, UX Chapter Lead at Roche Leandro will be diving into the unique challenges and trends shaping the current landscape of UX within the healthcare sector. **GoGoGolor – a bloody Vibecode project** by **[Wieland Kloimstein](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wieland-kloimstein/)**, UX Designer, ImmoScout24 In 2014 I had an idea for a better color picker. Then it sat in a drawer for 10 years. Two things changed that: OKLCH — a new perceptual color standard — and LLMs that could actually help build it. A UX designer with no coding background ended up building something he had no business building. **Location** **[mySugr/Roche](https://www.mysugr.com/de/uber-uns)** Trattnerhof 1/5.OG, 1010 Vienna, Austria When you enter via the front door, take the elevator to the **5th floor**. **Important note:** once inside the office space, please stay—if you leave early or arrive (very) late, there’s no way to ring the bell or be let back in. There is no reception or security desk. **Don’t miss out on these insights.** Secure your spot by clicking the join button. ––– Collaboratively we document each UX Vienna Evening Meetup at [https://UXvienna.at/ongoing/](https://uxvienna.at/ongoing/) Check out to see what kept us busy and what you might have missed so far.

**[BUCH DEINEN PLATZ IM KELLER HIER!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-im-keller-wiens-underground-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-30RBKX?ref=MeetUp)** **Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wiens schönstem Keller. Neue Comedians, frische Jokes, freier Eintritt – jeden Dienstag im Comedy Pub.** Willkommen zu **Comedy im Keller**, dem dienstäglichen Highlight der Wiener Comedy-Szene! Hier trifft sich jede Woche ein wilder Mix aus aufstrebenden Newcomern und erfahrenen Stand-up-Comedians, um neue Gags auszuprobieren, mutige Ideen zu testen und das Publikum im historischen Keller vom *The Comedy Pub* zum Lachen zu bringen. Der Name ist Programm: In Wien geht man zum Lachen in den Keller – und bei uns stimmt das zu 100%. Unser wunderschöner Altbaukeller bietet ein echtes **Underground-Feeling** mit einer intimen Atmosphäre, die dir das Gefühl gibt, Teil von etwas Besonderem zu sein. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist die Werkstatt der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier entstehen neue Bits, werden Witze gefeilt und spontane Momente geboren. Mal landet ein Joke punktgenau, mal scheitert er glorreich – aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. Das Publikum erlebt Comedy **ungeschönt, unzensiert und hautnah**. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Pub oben, Lacher unten Der **Comedy Pub** ist einzigartig in Wien: oben Irish Pub mit kalten Drinks und lebendiger Atmosphäre, unten Altbaukeller mit Comedy-Club-Flair. Eine perfekte Kombination, um nach der Arbeit in die Woche zu starten: erst ein Bier an der Bar, dann ein Abend voller Lacher im Keller. Adresse: Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien – direkt bei der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Comedy lebt vom Publikum. Deine Reaktionen – Lachen, Klatschen oder auch mal Schweigen – helfen den Comedians, besser zu werden. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Wenn du lachst, wirf ein paar Münzen in den Hut – das ist die ehrlichste Form von Applaus. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit alle eine gute Zeit haben, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge: * Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht. * Respektiere die Bühne – keine Gespräche während der Show. * Lachen ist Pflicht! (und zwar laut 😉) * Kein Heckling – wirklich, das endet nie gut. * Spenden sind Liebe. Zeig den Comedians, dass sie dich zum Lachen gebracht haben. ## 🎉 Warum Dienstag? Weil die Woche besser startet, wenn du lachst. **Comedy im Keller** ist der perfekte Anti-Dienstags-Blues: frisch, roh, nahbar und immer überraschend. Jeder Abend hat ein neues Line-up, also lohnt es sich, immer wiederzukommen. #ComedyImKeller #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #WienLacht #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #LiveComedyWien #ComedyFansWien #ComedySzeneWien #KellerComedy #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #DienstagWien #UndergroundComedy

**Our second Product Owner Club is coming up and this time we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts currently reshaping our roles as product people: AI.** We’re excited to be **hosted by** **SQUER** **📍 [Althanstraße 4/3/63, 1090 Wien](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zysnKBZEobcA2pHz5)** **Thank you for helping the product community come together!** **Agenda:** 🕕 18:00 — Doors open & welcome 🎤 18:30 — Session #1: Alexander Schwingenschrot 🎤 19:15 — Session #2: Maurizio Rinder & Julian Tandler 🍕 20:00 — Networking with drinks & pizza **Session #1 by Alexander Schwingenschrot – Senior Consultant / AI-Manager @ adesso Austria GmbH** **The Product Owner as an "Intellectual Tourist"? How Psychological Safety Rescues Our Critical Thinking from AI.** You know the feeling: The backlog is overflowing, pressure is high, and suddenly GenAI generates your user stories, acceptance criteria, and market analyses in seconds. Sounds like a dream, right? The ticket is ready, let the sprint begin. But what happens when we switch our thinking to "autopilot"? We risk becoming mere "middle managers of our own thoughts," outsourcing the hard work of critical thinking to an algorithm. AI makes us incredibly fast—but without true psychological safety within the team to challenge the machine (and each other), we degrade into mere rubber-stampers. That’s not just dangerous for the product; it fundamentally alters the core of what Product Ownership is all about. In his talk, Alexander breaks down: * why AI becomes an innovation killer without a culture that embraces failure (Automation Bias), * what the "Intellectual Tourist" concept actually means for your daily Product Discovery, and * how you as a PO can maintain "Meaningful Human Control" without sacrificing the speed of AI. **Session #2 by Maurizio Rinder, Lead Product Engineer @ SQUER & Julian Tandler, Principal Consultant Product Management @ SQUER** **What If the Answer to Every Feature Debate Was "Let's Find Out This Week"? A PM's Guide to AI in 2026** You know the drill: Three stakeholders, three opinions, no data. Everyone argues about what to build next, and two months later only a handful of people used the feature. But what if "let's just find out" was a real answer? When AI makes building cheap, you can stop debating and start testing. That's not just a new tool in your PM toolkit, it's a structural shift in what the role is about. In his talk, * Julian breaks down what's actually changing, and goes hands-on with real examples, * Before Maurizio makes the case why this redefines what it means to be a developer, too. **Like last time, the sessions will be hands-on and interactive. There will be space to discuss, challenge, and exchange with fellow colleagues.** We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones to the community. **Connect**... get to learn peers from different industries. **Learn**... how other Product Leaders deal with different situations. **Profit**... from shared experiences and thrive even more in your role. **Please be fair and only click “attend” on Meetup if you’re truly planning to join, so we can plan foods and drinks accordingly.** Last time we had a **show-rate of 92%**, let's keep this up 😃 **Best regards, Alex & Miriam**

A gentle space to slow down and unwind at the end of the week. This session is designed to help you release stress, calm the nervous system, and transition softly into the weekend through guided relaxation and subtle live sound. No experience needed. Just come, lie down, listen, and rest. Open to everyone.

Things can look good on paper — steady work, progress, stability — and still feel strangely flat on the inside. No crisis. No breakdown. Just a quiet question: *Is this it?* This workshop is for people who are functioning well, but sense that something doesn’t fully line up. Together, we’ll explore what psychologists call the ***success–fulfillment gap***: the difference between external success and inner experience. Through a few guided reflection exercises, you’ll learn how to better distinguish these signals in your own life — **not to make big decisions**, but to gain clarity. No coaching. No therapy. No pressure to change anything. Just a thoughtful space to reflect and recalibrate. 🌱 **What to expect 🧭** * A short, accessible introduction to the **success–fulfillment gap** * Simple, guided reflection exercises * A calm, structured space to think and discuss in pairs You’ll leave with a clearer sense of how **success and fulfillment show up differently** in your own experience. **Who should attend 👥** This workshop is for you if: * you’re working or building something and generally doing “okay” * you value reflection, but don’t want therapy or motivation talks * you’ve had moments of thinking “*Is this really it?*” — without being in crisis * you’re curious about purpose, clarity, and inner orientation You don’t need to feel successful, stuck, or lost to attend — just open to reflection. **Logistics 🗓️** * **Cost**: Free of charge * **Where**: Impact Hub Vienna, [Lindengasse 56, 1070 Wien](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x476d078cbc5cf79b:0x3e9197850789a772?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) * **When: Thursday, April 16th, 2026, 18:00 CET** * **Duration**: 90 minutes ⚠️ **Limited to 14 participants** to keep the space focused and personal.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
