Please arrive by 6:20 PM, the meeting starts at 6:30 PM👉No registration or dress code is needed, the event is FREE.👉NOTE: We will have signs in the place so you can locate easily the Toastmasters Meeting room. --- Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065** We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, but one can also pre-post the item on [bpcw.slack.com](http://bpcw.slack.com) in the "_NextMeetup" channel (write me at eahofer (at) gmail if you aren't a member already); 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

**📗 About This Event** Let's clear something up: most business events are theoretical. You sit through a lecture, take some notes, and go home to the same problems. This session is designed to fix that. It's a friendly, uncorporate gathering for independents focused on real execution. **⚠️ A Quick Heads-Up** After two exciting events and many valuable conversations with you, it felt like the right moment to take the next step. Season Two begins now! This season, the Circle opens up even more. Besides our usual format, we’re inviting founders who are actively building and running their businesses to share how things work for them in practice - in their own words, from their **own experience**. Our focus shifts to real examples, real workflows, and open knowledge sharing from people who are doing the work day by day. **🗓️ The Agenda & What You'll Learn** We've invited two founders from two completely different worlds to share their practical blueprints. No theory. Just real mechanics. * **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect * **18:10 - 18:30:** Building a hands-on business from raw idea to physical product. We dive into the world of professional engraving. How do you handle logistics, craftsmanship, and delivering a tangible product in a digital world? This is business you can touch. * **🎁 18:30 – 18:35:** A super secret surprise * **18:35 – 18:55:** Ugly ads win. We ignore polished marketing and only trust raw, real reviews. That is User Generated Content (UGC). But how do you scale "authenticity"? We are showcasing our a AI platform built specifically to generate these high-performing assets. We’ll cover why low-fi content converts, the insights behind the engine, and how to automate trust. * **18:55 – 19:00:** Future plans of CircleBudapest * **19:00 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks * 20:00 onwards – Drinks at a nearby bar: relaxed chats, nothing serious 🔍 Who Is This For? This is for the freelancers, founders, and independents in Budapest who are tired of “hustle culture” speeches. It's for people who want to see under the hood of other companies. Whether you sell physical goods or digital services, you’ll learn the operational reality of running a business today. **📍 Location & The After-Party** We'll be hosting at the fantastic KLUSTER Coworking space. After the official part ends, a big table will be reserved for us at an undisclosed secret location nearby for those who want to continue the conversation. **⚖️ The Legal Bit** Our imaginary lawyers wanted us to mention again that we'll be taking some photos. By attending, you consent to this. Thanks for reading — cannot wait for you to join! Bence & Nándi

30\. Magyar Atlassian Meetup Mondjam vagy mutassam? Hogyan teremthetünk valódi értéket a projektekben változó környezetben? **PMI-minősítéssel rendelkezők számára a rendezvényen való részvétel 1 PDU pontot jelent!** A 30. Magyar Atlassian Meetup egy különleges mérföldkő: ezúttal az adaptív projektmenedzsment kerül fókuszba. Az esemény célja, hogy választ adjon arra a kérdésre, hogyan tudunk a folyamatosan változó környezetben valóban értéket teremteni a projektekben – nem csak módszertanok betűjét követve, hanem azok szellemiségét a gyakorlatban alkalmazva. Az eseményen gyakorló szakemberek közösen keresik a választ arra, hogyan reagálhatnak a projektcsapatok a folyamatosan változó igényekre, és miként lehet a szabályok puszta követése helyett a módszertanok valódi szellemiségét átültetni a mindennapi munkába. Az eseményt követően lehetőség nyílik a hallottak megvitatására az előadókkal és a többi résztvevővel – remek alkalmat teremtve a tapasztalatcserére és kapcsolatépítésre. Az esemény így nemcsak szakmai tudást, hanem inspirációt és közösségi élményt is kínál minden projektvezetőnek, agilis coachnak és érdeklődő szakembernek. **Részletek és regisztráció:** https://www.meta-inf.hu/esemenyek/30-magyar-atlassian-meetup-adaptiv-projektmenedzsment Várunk szeretettel!

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:15am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1, indicated in the attached map. On-site and street parking are available in the surrounding area.

Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Calling all founders, CEOs, lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs to join our special *Founder Edition* of Sip & Read meetup event. Let's sip on fine wine and discuss our first book **The 5AM Club- Own Your Morning Elevate Your Life, by Robin Sharma**. We will pair this book with our favorite wine at **Wine on High** and engage in thought-provoking discussions on startup businesses and entrepreneurship, and network with like-minded individuals in a cozy book club setting. *The 5AM Club* by Robin Sharma explores how waking up early and following a structured morning routine can dramatically improve productivity, mindset, and overall life mastery. Through a blend of storytelling and practical frameworks, it teaches high performers how to build discipline, focus, and long-term success by owning the first hour of the day. Come prepared to discuss this month's book. At the end of each book club meeting, we will take next book and venue suggestions from the participants for the next meeting. Whether you are a book lover, women entrepreneur, or a content creator, this event is perfect for sharing ideas and insights with other funders and founders in the entrepreneurial world. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. Sign up now to reserve your spot! *Fun fact! This meetup was established in 2015 and had over 1,000 members. I had to shut down operations while attending law school, but we're back!!*
