**THIS MEETUP WILL BE IN-PERSON 🕺** **We're starting at 17:40 this time! 🕒** **What to expect:** 🗣️ Two or three speakers 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end and free drinks afterwards ✔️ Just RSVP! Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors open * **17:40 - Welcome by &‌‌amp and SQUER** * 17:50 - First talk * 18:35 - Break * 18:50 - Second talk * 19:35 - Food, Drinks & Networking * 21:30 - Doors closing 👂 **Talks:** 🗣️ Boris Wrubel **Developing Selenium Tests with AI: Practical Insights from Real-World Automation Projects** 🗣️ Philipp Greitbauer **Modern Java Packaging: From Slim Images to Swift Runtimes** 🧑‍💻 **Speakers:** **Boris Wrubel** has over 20 years of experience in software testing, specializing in test automation within agile environments. His expertise spans major projects in banking, telecommunications, and the public sector. For a decade, Boris was part of the Industrial Software Research Group (INSO) at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where he also organized and lectured in the "Software Testing" course. He holds a degree in Business Informatics, with a focus on project and quality management from TU Wien, and has contributed to open-source test automation projects in recent years. *Talk description:* He will share an honest field report from an ongoing project: How does my day-to-day work with Selenium change when generative AI is added as a support tool? Using concrete examples, I demonstrate how AI-based tools help with writing, revising, and understanding test code - for example, by suggesting test cases, proposing refactorings, or assisting with debugging. The focus is not on technology promises, but on real-world experience: Where does AI save time? Where does it lead you astray? And how does this change the role of the test automation engineer? The talk is aimed at anyone interested in the use of AI in quality assurance, with a focus on practical insights, pitfalls, and concrete learnings from everyday project work. **Philipp Greitbauer** is a software engineer at &‌‌amp, a Vienna-based software consulting company. While he works across the full stack, his focus lies in the backend using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot. Driven by a curiosity that often leads him down technical "rabbit holes", Philipp is committed to building proper technical foundations. He prioritizes utilizing existing tools to their full potential rather than reinventing the wheel, ensuring that systems are built efficiently. His daily work involves helping clients evolve their systems, drawing on his experience in the banking industry and the public sector. *Talk description:* In this session, we will look at modern strategies for efficiently packaging and running Spring Boot applications. If you are currently building Docker images by simply copying fat JARs, there are several newer tools and techniques in the Java ecosystem that can significantly optimize both your deployment process and runtime performance. We will explore the use of Buildpacks and Spring AOT, alongside JVM advancements like Project Leyden and Java 25’s Compact Object Headers. The talk will also contrast GraalVM with optimized JVM runtimes using AOT Cache or CRaC, examining how these different approaches address the challenges of startup time and resource usage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Can't find what you like?** **Got something to say?** 📢 Send us your thoughts in the comments.

On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions. Mercredi , 25 mars, à partir de 18h30, retrouvons-nous pour cette fois-ci au pub irlandais "The Long Hall", situé à Florianigasse 2, non loin du Rathaus. 2 grandes tables pour une quinzaine de personnes en tout nous seront réservées pour l'occasion, dans le coin tout à gauche après l'entrée. La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous. NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant. Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi. On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après. Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres. Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings") A mercredi alors!

Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf * **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government * **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties. Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload. Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability. A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing. An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski * **Title**: What is A(I) platform? * **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms. On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components. Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

## [GET TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.eventbrite.at/e/scriptless-in-seattle-unscripted-improv-comedy-show-thecomedypub-tickets-1979235165660?aff=MeetUp) Unscripted, musical improv comedy straight from the USA! Scriptless in Seattle brings audience-driven chaos to Vienna. ## 🎤 About the Show **Scriptless in Seattle** is a high-energy, completely unscripted improv comedy show touring from the United States — and every single performance is created live, on the spot, with the audience. Often compared to *Whose Line Is It Anyway?*, Scriptless delivers a fast-paced evening of improvised scenes, musical numbers, and spontaneous madness where **nothing is planned and everything is possible**. The cast performs without scripts, cues, or safety nets — relying entirely on audience suggestions to shape the show. No two performances are ever the same, making each night a one-of-a-kind comedy experience. Some audience members will even be invited **onto the stage**, becoming part of the action and helping create moments that will never happen again. ## 🎶 What to Expect 🎭 Completely improvised comedy scenes 🎵 Live musical improv and audience-inspired songs 😂 Fast, clever, and unpredictable humor 🎤 Direct audience interaction and volunteer participation 🎩 A sharp, playful cast performing in classic tuxedos Whether you’re watching from your seat or suddenly finding yourself part of the show, Scriptless in Seattle guarantees big laughs, surprises, and unforgettable moments. ## 🎙 Meet the Cast ### **Justin Folger** Justin is the group manager and emcee of Scriptless in Seattle. He has never seen *Sleepless in Seattle* (ironically), but he somewhat relates to the title — just not the Seattle part. Justin has performed improv across the United States, Canada, and Europe, and doesn’t plan to stop until he’s done improv **in space**. ### **James Trombka** James has been performing improv since high school and truly believes in performing “without a net.” When he’s not on stage, he works as an Accessibility Specialist at Kent State University. His favorite improv game is *Hollywood Director*, and outside comedy he enjoys theater, photography, kayaking, and moonlit beach walks. 📸 Instagram: **@jtromdawg** ### **Charlie Hubbell** Charlie is the “music hippie” of Scriptless in Seattle. A music teacher from Ohio, he can turn anything — from a tuba to a tin can — into an instrument. He loves musical improv games, especially *Irish Drinking Song*. Charlie’s roots stretch from North Carolina to Vermont… and kind of New Hampshire too. ## 🎯 Who Is This Show For? ✔️ Fans of improv comedy ✔️ Lovers of *Whose Line Is It Anyway?* ✔️ Anyone who enjoys musical comedy ✔️ Groups of friends looking for a fun night out ✔️ Couples searching for a unique date night ✔️ Audiences who love being part of the show If you like comedy that’s spontaneous, interactive, and completely unpredictable — this show is for you. ## 🍻 About the Venue – The Comedy Pub **The Comedy Pub** is Vienna’s home for international stand-up and improv comedy.

LINK: [AiTinkerers Vienna](https://vienna.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkerers-vienna-strabag) ## Vienna Builders 🛠️ AI Tinkerers Vienna returns for its second session of 2026 on March 26th. We are gathering at STRABAG for an evening dedicated to the practitioners building at the intersection of foundation models and the physical world. This is a curated, technical environment for those actively shipping code. We prioritize implementation details, architecture trade-offs, and working systems over high-level presentations. Registration is open now via the form above. ### 🎤 Call for Demos: Show Your Stack We are looking for builders to share technical demonstrations. This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this interesting thing?” not “Why should someone use this product?” **Demo Requirements:** * **No Slides:** Run live code, walk through architecture diagrams, or zoom into workflow graphs. * **Technical Depth:** Share your prompt engineering strategies, agentic workflows, or orchestration layers. * **Imperfection Welcome:** We value raw, early-stage experiments and the lessons learned from what broke.

**THE LAST CEO** What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office? A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at. The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite? We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\. **Programme:** 🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab 💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas 🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist) 🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030. 🎉 **Afterparty & Networking** Date: March 27, 2026, 6:30 PM Location: Funkhaus Wien, Argentinierstraße Language: English **brought to you by** [FUNKHAUS WIEN](https://www.funkhaus.wien/) [Fachgruppe UBIT der WKW](https://unternehmensberatung-und-wir.wien/) [AI Austria ](https://www.aiaustria.com/) [chim.ai](www.chim.ai) Thanks to Ruben Hetfleisch, Patrick Schabus, Philipp Lammer and many more for contribution **Note:** We increased Max Registrations to 140.

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Are you ready to mingle and make new friends? A YouTuber visited our event 😃 [[3-minute video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eG1dYro4u8)] **"How does it work?"** We talk in small groups and rotate every \~10 minutes. Tip: for a more fun conversation, introduce yourself not with your job, but with your interests/hobbies... and see what happens ;) **"Can I bring friends?"** Great idea! 😃 **"Can I give you feedback about the event?"** Yes, keep the ideas coming!

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! Tonight's a special one; this is "Long form" night! Most nights here at Improv Meetup, we play "short form" games, where the host has established rules that the players must adhere to. These scenes frequently do not tell a connected story and are focused on following those rules; games such as "Alphabet Game" where every next sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet, or "Interrogation" where it's a guessing game. Tonight is focused on "long form", where we will see groups of people come up and do a sort of improvised play. There may be rules to the structure itself to adhere to, or it may be more free form, but doing this allows players to establish a shared world, and to establish characters and callbacks. While your average game may last 2-3 minutes, a long form set will last much longer, and have 4+ people involved. This may be a more complicated night, but we will make sure you feel supported to try this out. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
