Philosophy Movie Night #4
We continue with *Philosophy Movie Night* this Tuesday. Relaxed, cozi, with popcorn to munch and a fine (alcohol-free) wine to sip, in company of nice people.
This is a session to watch one of those older movies we never got the chance to watch in thoughtful company.
The format is simple: we select a film in our community under 2 hours (link to the poll below), then optionally discuss it together at the end.
**How it works**
* Choose or suggest a film in the facebook group.
* The winning movie gets screened the next session.
* English or Hungarian subtitles are available upon request.
**What to expect**
* A curated film with philosophical depth
* A projector and casual atmosphere. The first to arrive gets the sofa.
* An optional discussion after the screening for those who fancy talking about it.
**Practical details**
Location: Kisvilág Kulturális és Társadalmi Alapítvány
Please, put 18:00 in your calendar, get your seat, order some snack, meet some friends and have an introduction of the movie.
Movie starts: 18:30
Ticket: Free
**Note: the space is limited**, only sign if you are actually going! We will message to confirm, if you dont answer we might give your seat to someone else!

Enabling Every Function with AI, and Shipping at AI Speed
For our May meetup, the Protex AI Budapest community is inaugurating our new office, and we're hosting two deep-dive talks from the Protex AI team: one on enabling every function in your company with AI, and one on shipping enterprise-grade products at AI speed.
**Shipping an Enterprise-Grade Mobile App in 12 Weeks: Pitch, Plan, Build, Legal, App Stores**
Erzsébet Somogyi, Engineering Manager, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/)
Erzsébet is an Engineering Manager at Protex AI. She joined from Google, where she was part of the Assistant team (serving over 1B daily active users), and previously served as CTO at SimpledCard and Director of Video Platform at Canal Digital AS.
Erzsó will share how a team of three pitched, planned, built, cleared legal, and shipped an enterprise-grade mobile app to both the App Store and Play Store in 12 weeks. Protex AI's products are trusted by enterprises like DHL, P&G, Toyota, GM, and Coca-Cola, and you'll leave with hard-earned lessons on how to move fast without breaking the things that matter.
**How to Get Your Company AI Pilled**
David Souza, Director of AI & Engineering, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/)
David will share how Protex AI got everyone in the company building with AI, not just Engineering, but Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, Product, Security, and Client teams. Expect a practical playbook for taking a company AI-native: what worked, what didn't, and the concrete patterns you can copy.
The Protex AI Budapest community brings together builders, researchers, and curious minds to explore how AI is being applied in real-world systems, right here in Budapest.
Whether you're rolling out AI across your company or shipping your next product at speed, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately.
🍕 Pizza, drinks, and good conversation provided.
🇬🇧 This session will be in English.
**Agenda**
🕠 17:45 - Doors open & networking
🗣️ 18:00 - Talks begin
🍕 20:00 - Networking until 21:00

Potluck & Games
Join us this Sunday for a relaxed afternoon of good company, board games, and delicious food at Margaret Island!
For this meetup, we’ll be sharing not only conversation and games, but also a little taste of home. If you can, bring a snack, dessert, or homemade dish from your country — whether it’s something traditional, nostalgic, sweet, savory, store-bought, or baked by you. It’s the perfect chance to discover new foods, cultures, and stories while enjoying the warm weather together on Margit-sziget.
As always, everyone is welcome regardless of their Hungarian level. We’ll have a variety of board games and group activities ranging from complete beginner-friendly games to more advanced conversation games, so you can comfortably join in whether you’ve just started learning Hungarian or already speak confidently.
If you’d like to join but feel a bit nervous about coming alone, feel free to message us—we’re happy to meet up with you before the event starts. That said, most of our participants come on their own, so you definitely won’t be the only one :)

(May) Monthly Book Club: Why Nations Fail
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Monthly Book Club — the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing thoughts together.
This May, we’ll be reading *Why Nations Fail* by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. The book explores the monumental question of why some nations are wealthy while others remain locked in poverty, diving deep into the powerful role that political and economic institutions play in shaping a country's destiny.
It’s a thought-provoking, sweeping read that opens the door to deep conversations about history, economics, power, and the structures that govern our societies.
🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time)
📍 **Location**: Lumen (we will be outside in the backyard garden).
I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it heavily debatable, or didn’t quite manage to finish — you’re invited.
This month's book was the winning choice voted by you! If you want to have your say on what we read next, make sure to join the poll in our Goodreads group.
