**Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud** / **Cloud on European Terms: AWS Sovereign Cloud** 🇬🇧 English version below 👇 *** **Adat. Szabályozás. Kontroll.** Három kulcsszó, amelyek ma már nem csak technológiai kérdések — hanem üzleti döntések, versenyelőnyök és kockázatok forrásai. Hol vannak valójában az adataid? Ki gyakorol felettük kontrollt? És mennyire vagy felkészülve a folyamatosan szigorodó európai szabályozási környezetre? Csatlakozz az **AWS User Group Budapest** vezetői fókuszú, exkluzív meetupjára, ahol bemutatjuk az **AWS European Sovereign Cloud** koncepcióját és valódi jelentőségét.

A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is. Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába. Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával. Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez. Az előadásra hozunk egy csomó RF-fel működő kütyüt, ha van otthon elfekvőben régi kocsikulcs, távnyitó, elemes távirányítható játék, Flipper Zero vagy hasonló, hozd el és nézzük meg, mit tudunk kezdeni velük.

We’re excited to host our next Product Meetup, co-organised by Wise & Startup Hungary. We have three insightful sessions lined up for you: ​**PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For - András Lebó (Product Manager at Wise)** Data scientists can build anything themselves. That's what makes them the hardest users to build a platform for. They have notebooks, custom pipelines, workarounds that work. Why would they switch? András will share his learnings on PM-ing a data science platform: finding the real bottlenecks, earning trust from users who could out-engineer your solution, and measuring success when your contribution hides behind another team's objective. ​**Building the Engine Behind the Product - Balázs Dósa (Product Manager at Wise)** Ever wonder what happens when a fintech serving 19M+ customers decides to bet big on internal platforms? Join us as we pull back the curtain on: * ​The Why — What made Wise go all-in on internal platforms * ​The Hard Parts — The real challenges no one warns you about * ​The Payoff — What success actually looks like (and how we measure it) ​Whether you're building platforms, considering the investment, or just platform-curious — this one's for you. ​ **Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers - István Szabó (Product Manager at SAP Emarsys)** "Can we ship this table tomorrow?" Sometimes the most important product work is knowing what NOT to ship. Learn how one PM used AI tools to independently investigate a production data issue—tracing through two codebases, validating 82,000+ records across multiple customers, and delivering an evidence-based decision in half a day instead of one week. We'll walk through the real investigation, and show you a repeatable "Build to Learn" practice you can start using next week to tackle PM work that was previously impossible. ## ​Schedule: * ​18:00-18:30 - Arrival + Intro * ​18:30-19:00 - PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For * ​19:00-19:30 - Building the Engine Behind the Product * ​19:30-20:00 - Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers * ​20:00-21:30 - Drinks, Pizza, Networking 🍕

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.

*“In a forest, there is no master tree that plans and dictates change when rain fails to fall or when the spring comes early. The whole ecosystem reacts creatively, in the moment.”* *―* **Frederic Laloux**, Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness **(Session in english!)** Frederic Laloux is a former management consultant and organizational theorist best known for the book **Reinventing Organizations**, where he argues that human organizations evolve alongside human consciousness. Drawing from developmental psychology, systems thinking, and real-world case studies, Laloux proposes that many modern companies still operate with industrial-age assumptions centered on hierarchy, control, and bureaucracy, even though the nature of work and society has fundamentally changed. His work became influential among some founders, innovators, and organizational reformers searching for alternatives to rigid corporate structures. At the center of Laloux’s vision is the idea of “Teal organizations”: companies built around self-management, personal wholeness, and evolutionary purpose rather than traditional command-and-control leadership. Influenced by thinkers such as **Ken Wilber**, Laloux presents organizations not as machines to optimize, but as living systems capable of adaptation and emergence. His ideas are both inspiring and controversial, praised as a blueprint for post-industrial collaboration and criticized as overly idealistic, difficult to scale, and even utopian. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests 1. What kind of organizations have you been a member of? 2. Was there anything in common in the way they operated? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. What sense does it make to categorize organizations into consciousness levels? 2. When it comes to organizations, should efficiency or harmonious functioning be the primary goal? 3. Is personal fulfillment a good foundational goal and guiding principle for an organization? 4. Can dynamically distributed authority function in the long run? 5. How solid a foundation for success is the self-organization of roles based on earned authority and trust? 6. Alongside self-organization (i.e., without overarching control), can it be guaranteed that every necessary role will have a sufficient number of competent members? 7. Is full transparency in finances and decision-making sustainable? 8. Is trust-based delegation necessarily better than competence-based delegation? 9. Is it not dangerous to optimize for pleasantness when one may have to face serious competitors? 10. Can the claim really be true that the propaganda proclaims: "the question is not whether you are good enough"? 11. Can actual quality of life be measured through feedback about how a person feels? How reliable a reflection for one's quality of life is one's sense of happiness? 12. Is it sufficient to weight the evaluation of an idea based on the degree of involvement of the voters? 13. Can a parliament whose members are selected based on popularity rather than competence truly be competent 14. Can a community feedback-based competence assessment be as good as an objective test-based one? 15. Does it make sense to speak collectively about the fulfillment of the people? 16. If people make decisions by relying on results provided by AI, are those decisions truly their own? 17. If a country was to transition to the Teal model today, how could it enforce its laws? 18. Was the Zappos example more of a good initiative or a bad one? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list.

# Integral self-awareness workshops in Budapest Do you ever react more strongly than the moment seems to call for? Do you ever wonder why the people you love most can trigger the biggest reactions? Do you ever say something in the heat of the moment and later wish you had responded differently? Do you ever notice how quickly closeness can turn into tension, defensiveness, or withdrawal? Do you ever get overwhelmed by a tone of voice, a look, or a silence you can’t quite explain? Do you ever feel your body respond before your mind understands what is happening? The integral self-awareness group is a safe and accepting space where you can observe your inner processes and how you relate to others. You can gain insight into recurring patterns and experiment with more conscious, new ways of functioning. The group supports you in letting go of your defensive layers and connecting to yourself and others without judgment. This offers a deeply nourishing experience of acceptance, while also helping you become aware of inner processes that often remain hidden in everyday life. The focus is on experiencing bodily sensations and emotions, often beyond words. The practices are mostly movement-based and require no prior experience. The method is based on integral psychology, associated with Ken Wilber, combining Western psychology with Eastern perspectives to support personal growth and a more loving, present way of being. Join us if, alongside the flow of everyday life, you’d like to connect more deeply with yourself – both your light, vibrant parts and your more shadowed aspects. We work together in a closed, small group over four sessions, in a safe and supportive environment. **Who is this for?** This group is ideal if you haven’t yet participated in a self-awareness process – especially a movement-based one – and would like to try it. You’re also very welcome if you already have experience but are currently looking for a shorter commitment. **What is it about?** We all carry an inner child within us that shapes how we see the world and ourselves. It holds both our resources – spontaneity, curiosity, joy – and the deeper patterns formed through early experiences. This group helps you recognize and reconnect with these parts. **What will you gain?** • A connection with your inner child • Deeper self-connection and emotional awareness • Greater freedom in experiencing your feelings • Acceptance: the experience of being who you are • Insights and experiences that integrate into daily life • A taste of integral self-awareness work The sessions build on each other. At the end of the first session, we ask for your commitment to the full process. **Application** Joining the group is preceded by a short conversation where we get to know each other and decide together whether to work together. If the decision is mutual, your place can be secured with a payment of 7500 HUF, which will be applied to the fee of the final session. The remaining session fees are paid per occasion. Registration here: [https://forms.gle/9zeRqwDq25Nib6JC8](https://forms.gle/9zeRqwDq25Nib6JC8) The events will take place with a minimum of 5 participants. **About the host:** Eszter is a long-time expat, a mother of three, and an integral counselor. She left her home country at the age of 21 to study in Paris, where she first experienced how deeply financial resources — or the lack of them — can shape a person’s life. She began in the expat bubble with her boyfriend, then gradually opened herself to the people and culture around her. She had her first two children in Paris before moving back to Hungary after eight years. Back in Hungary, she took over her mother’s company while raising children as a single mother after her husband left her. At the same time, her grandmother was living with Alzheimer’s, and her mother was caring for her, which meant Eszter carried the responsibility of helping provide for seven people. Trying to find a way out of this pressure, she moved to what became her second home, the Czech Republic, to join a man who later turned out to be toxic. Despite having three children, one of them still a toddler, she chose to raise them alone rather than remain in an environment that was harmful to them. After surviving — and eventually thriving — alone with three children in a country whose language was difficult to learn, she took on several jobs. One of them involved guiding tourists, where she discovered her gift for building trust and connection with people within just a few minutes. When the pandemic made travel impossible, she continued deepening this path by completing a coaching certification. Yet she felt coaching was not gentle enough for the kind of relationship she wanted to offer her clients. That led her to begin a three-year training in integral psychology and become an integral counselor. Because their rage required, she also took on the role of supporting her elderly parents, traveling 500 km twice a month to check on them. Since than she has been living the reality of so-called “sandwich caregiving,” caring both for (the more and more independent) children at home and parents who have become increasingly dependent on her emotional support. Her parenting journey has also brought her through profound challenges: supporting a daughter caught in an anxiety cycle around visits to a narcissistic father until she could eventually stand up for herself; learning to hold and accept a son’s digital addiction while, over time, setting clearer limits around how she could support him; and enduring one of the hardest experiences of all, when her other daughter went through amnesia and cut off all emotional relationships, including with her. These experiences led Eszter into a deep therapeutic journey of her own. Through it, she learned how powerfully defense mechanisms serve to protect life, how reparative emotional experiences — especially those within families — can bring healing, and how even one stable, safe attachment can become a life-giving container for a child shaped by trauma. Today, her mission is to support parents in being parents. She believes that while therapy can be deeply valuable, the most important factor in a child’s life is a safe relationship with a caregiver. When parents can offer that, they do not only support their own children — they also help interrupt patterns that would otherwise be passed to the next generation. For Eszter, this work is not only about helping the individuals she meets directly, but also about contributing to a healthier future for humanity. ​ Having lived for more than 20 years as an expat in two different countries, she has learned both how to stand strongly on her own feet and how that same self-reliance can come at a cost. She lives with a condition that will likely remain part of her life forever and requires great discipline around food and daily choices. This has taught her something essential: freedom is never the absence of limits. Rather, freedom lies in the tiny moment of awareness between what happens and how we respond to it. That is the heart of the work she now offers to clients: helping them hold multiple perspectives, become more accepting and compassionate toward their own choices, and meet both inner experience and outer circumstance with greater awareness. Eszter believes that when parents become aware of their own triggers and can separate them from what belongs to the child, parenting becomes much easier. And when we understand the needs and impulses a child is acting from, we can meet them with more acceptance, more understanding, and more loving guidance — rather than fear, conflict, or control. ​ She sees therapy, in many ways, as a substitute for the good-enough, loving, accepting parent. And one of her deepest intentions is to empower parents to trust that they, too, can become that kind of presence for their child.

We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. ☕︎ Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. ☕︎ Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited. WHAT TO EXPECT? * A **guided start** where every woman is seen and heard. You introduce yourself saying whatever you feel like sharing in a way that is comfortable to you. * We use our **custom-designed materials** to move past titles and discover the humans behind the roles. * A **verified circle** of women where you can be professionally ambitious and personally vulnerable at the same time. * Leave with **full batteries**, meaningful new professional bridges, and the support of women who truly *get it*. **STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp **STEP 2:** [Get your ticket](https://luma.com/vw9wrj9o) If you feel called to create real connection in Barcelona within a female-only community, we can’t wait to welcome you. 💜 Stay in the loop, stay connected! 👇 [Events ](https://luma.com/WomensCoffeeNetworkBARCELONA)\| ​[LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/17220029/)\| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/womenscoffeenetwork)

**The 2026 elections are over.** The dust is settling. And 2027’s new "EU Inc." company model is staring us down. When big structural changes happen, it is completely normal to put them on the back burner. You have a business to run. But the upcoming shifts in Hungary and the EU might actually change how you operate. We are heading to KLUSTER to figure out exactly how this affects us, without the panic or the guesswork. We are splitting the night in two. First, Bence Gajdácsi (CEO of Gajdácsi Flakon Kft.) tackles the macro reality of Hungary's post-election landscape and the new EU Inc. He will break down what these legal shifts mean for your business structure so you can adapt before the rest of the market even catches on. Second, Nándor Fehér (Content Marketing Specialist) reveals the steps of building a predictable client acquisition machine with no technical skills. Even if you genuinely hate marketing, you will leave knowing how to spot the psychological hooks others and your competitors use. **The Agenda & What You'll Learn** * **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect. * **18:10 – 18:15:** Event Kickoff. * **18:15 – 18:35: Hungary's shift & a new EU structure** * Bence breaks down two major shifts: Hungary’s new reality under a new government, and an early peek at the 2027 EU Inc. This new European company structure aims to cut bureaucracy and accelerate cross-border growth. You get an honest look at how to position your business for both. * **18:35 – 18:55: Automating Client Acquisition** * Imagine a vending machine that turns a €1 coin into a €2 coin. How many times would you use it? Nándor will show you how to build that exact machine. In marketing and sales, this is called a 'funnel', a simple sequence of steps that naturally guides a complete stranger to buying your offer. You will learn to spot competitor patterns and walk away with a clear idea of which exact system actually makes sense for your own business. * **18:55 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks. * **20:00 onwards:** We head to a nearby bar as usual. **Location** We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space. **Who Is This For?** This series of presentations is for freelancers, founders, and open-minded people in Budapest. As you might know, the presentations are really just an excuse to get us all in the same room. Join real conversations with a real community of curious people who are navigating the exact same challenges you are. **The Legal Bit** As usual, we’ll be taking photos and videos throughout the night. By showing up, you consent to being in them. Thanks for reading, see you on the 29th (of May)! Bence & Nándi

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
