OpenClaw Bulgaria — Meetup #3 🦞 Demo Day
OpenClaw Bulgaria — Meetup #3 🦞 Demo Day
🦞 Cogito Ergo Creo 🦞 Third gathering of OpenClaw Bulgaria. This time — Demo Day. Less talk, more show. We're opening the floor to the community: bring what you've built, plug in, and walk us through it. Agents, local LLM setups, side projects, half-broken experiments — all welcome. The point isn't polish. The point is to see what people are actually making. 🎤 Demos — 5–10 minutes each. Show the thing, tell us what's working, what isn't, what you'd build next. 💬 Q&A — Real questions from a room of builders. 🔥 Open floor — Stick around, swap notes, find collaborators. Want to demo? Please register your presentation at https://openclaw.bg/events/ — or ping us on Discord so we can sketch out a running order. Who is this for? Developers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the simply curious. Whether you're shipping in production or just got something running for the first time — if you're building, you belong here. Language: English + Bulgarian — whatever flows naturally. 📍 Location: SOHO — HOLISTIC Room, 4 Iskar Street, Sofia 1000 (near Serdika metro) 🕐 Start: 17:00 🌐 www.openclaw.bg 💬 discord.gg/qu4gusnZd3 Recurring meetup — every first Thursday of the month (moved this month). Come once, come always. Hosted by Alex Alexiew & Aria 🤖 ——— 🇧🇬 Български Cogito ergo creo. Трета среща на OpenClaw Bulgaria. Този път — Demo Day. По-малко приказки, повече показване. Отваряме сцената за общността: донесете това, което сте направили, включете го и ни го разкажете. Агенти, локални LLM, странични проекти, полусчупени експерименти — всичко е добре дошло. Целта не е лъскавост. Целта е да видим какво всъщност прави хората. 🎤 Demos — 5–10 минути на човек. Покажете нещото, кажете какво работи, какво не, какво следва. 💬 Q&A — Истински въпроси от стая пълна с builders. 🔥 Open floor — Останете, обменете идеи, намерете съмишленици. Искаш да демонстрираш? Моля, регистрирай презентацията си на https://openclaw.bg/events/ — или пиши в Discord, за да направим програма. 📍 Локация: SOHO — зала HOLISTIC, ул. „Искър" 4, София 1000 (до метростанция Сердика) 🕐 Начало: 17:00 🌐 www.openclaw.bg 💬 discord.gg/qu4gusnZd3 Срещаме се всеки първи четвъртък от месеца.

Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change
Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change
The event is free, but **prior registration is required -** [Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change. · Luma](https://luma.com/4uo58izw) Growth rarely happens while staying in our comfort zone. In this inspiring session, Temenuzhka Zlateva will share her personal and professional journey from Development to VP Operations and the mindset shifts that helped her navigate change, embrace uncertainty, and continue growing along the way. ​Through real experiences and practical insights, the session will explore how growth, vulnerability, and the courage to move forward are deeply connected. From taking small steps without always knowing the full path ahead, to understanding why saying “I don’t know” is not a weakness, this talk is about building the confidence to keep evolving. ​We’ll also dive into the power of transferable skills, visibility, curiosity, and asking questions and how the lessons we gain professionally often help us grow personally as well. ​**What to expect:** * ​Lessons from a career journey across different roles and functions * ​Why growth starts outside the comfort zone * ​The importance of visibility, curiosity, and vulnerability * ​How transferable skills shape both career and personal development * ​A practical perspective on embracing change and continuous growth ​This is a session about developing a **mindset to move -** because growth is not about having all the answers, but about having the courage to take the next step.
