Knowledge Sharing

INVESTOTALK is a discussion event in English language which focuses on investing and trading opportunities covering a wide range of assets like shares, crypto, bonds, commodities, Forex, gold and others. The conversation is based on discussion rules, so that everybody gets the chance to participate. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic related to investing. Then we will vote what topics to discuss. The participant who suggests a topic can present his standpoint on it, once it is discussed. Afterwards everybody gets a chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. Everybody who is interested in investing is welcome to our event - irrespective of your investing experience, background and knowledge. We also welcome beginners. We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem to arrive late, if you can't make it in time. It is also possible to leave anytime, if you have to go home earlier.

Table booked in my name, ask at the bar if you’re unsure.

**\*\* DEUTSCHE BESCHREIBUNG UNTEN \*\*** Lesbians and bowling go hand-in-hand like... well, like two lesbians would. The dapper shoes, the strong arms, the confident stance: it's what we want in life. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an absolute beginner, the Lesbian Bowling Club welcomes all sapphic humans over the age of 30. This is a trans and non-binary friendly club. Join us one Thursday every month for a bowling session to play and enjoy lesbian company. It's not about winning - it's about having fun in a safer space with zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, biphobia, body-shaming, ageism, or other forms of discrimination. The club welcomes all German and English speakers - we'll adjust what language we use depending on who's here. :) **WHERE & WHEN?** The bowling will take place at Alt-Erlaa Bowling (U6 Alt-Erlaa). We meet at 19:00 outside & start bowling at around 19:30. **COSTS:** Expected costs for the bowling lane will be between 8-12 EUR per person (depending on how many people show up for the evening). We'll start by booking one lane (for 8 people max) for 2 hours and see if we need to extend or expand over time. Let's see! **\*\* ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ABOVE \*\*** Lesben und Bowling gehen Hand-in-Hand wie... naja, zwei Lesben es tun würden. Die schicken Schuhe, die starken Arme, die selbstbewusste Haltung: alles, was wir im Leben brauchen.

This first meeting is about getting to know each other. We are launching a small, thoughtful business book club in Vienna for founders, entrepreneurs, operators, and intellectually curious professionals who value deep thinking, honest conversation, and strong community. The goal of this first session is not to discuss a specific book, but to meet, talk, and understand who is in the room. At this meeting: * You do not need to read anything beforehand * We will introduce ourselves and share interests * We will talk about what topics and books genuinely interest the group * Together we will decide on the future format and reading plan

**!!! Important - Registration only possible here: !!!** https://cloud.email.pwc.com/AI4Industry Künstliche Intelligenz ist längst mehr als nur ein Hype – dennoch fragen sich viele Führungskräfte: **Wie setzen wir das in einer komplexen Organisation tatsächlich um?** Im Rahmen der AI4Industry-Reihe konzentriert sich dieses Meetup auf eine zentrale Frage: **Wie können Führungskräfte KI so einführen und steuern, dass echter Geschäftswert entsteht?** Unser Programm: **ab 17:00 Uhr: Check-In** **17:30 Uhr: Begrüßung & Keynote-Impulse** Thomas Inführ \| Director Digital Factory PwC Österreich\, Martin Riester \| Head of Center Vienna & Wattens\, Fraunhofer Austria und Ruben Hetfleisch \| CEO\, Klartext AI; Boardmember\, AI Austria teilen konkrete Beispiele, wie große Organisationen KI entlang der Kernprozesse ausrollen, angewandte Forschung mit Industriebedürfnissen verknüpfen und mit begrenzten Ressourcen messbaren ROI erzielen. **18:00 Uhr: Interaktive Podiumsdiskussion** Klaudia Ebner (Lead Business Development, Digitalisierung, Daten & KI, EVN) ergänzt die Speaker:innen in einer interaktiven Diskussion mit starker Einbindung des Publikums: ► Wie können etablierte Unternehmen Innovation organisieren, wo liegen die größten Werthebel und welche praktischen Stolperfallen sollten Führungskräfte vermeiden? **ab 18:45 Uhr: Networking** Informelles Networking, Drinks und die Möglichkeit, spezifische Fragen mit den Speaker:innen und anderen Teilnehmer:innen zu vertiefen. **Für wen ist dieses Event gedacht?** Für Geschäftsführer:innen, Bereichsleiter:innen und Senior-Entscheidungsträger:innen in größeren Organisationen, die von KI-Buzzwords und Pilotprojekten zu skalierbaren, wertschaffenden Initiativen übergehen wollen. **Drei Fragen, die Sie mitbringen sollten – und die wir gemeinsam beantworten:** ► Wie kann ich in einer etablierten Organisation mit KI starten, ohne meine Teams oder Strukturen zu überfordern? ► Wie schaffe ich Innovation mit begrenzten Ressourcen – Budget, Zeit, Daten und internem Know-how – und sehe trotzdem einen klaren ROI? ► Welche Rollen, Prozesse und Entscheidungsrahmen brauche ich als Führungskraft, um KI strategisch zu steuern, statt nur „Dinge auszuprobieren“? Wenn diese Fragen für Sie relevant sind, ist dieses Meetup der richtige Ort, um ehrliche Einblicke, konkrete Beispiele und den Austausch mit anderen Führungskräften zu bekommen, die vor denselben Herausforderungen stehen.

**A Special Launch Event:** 🎊 This is our very first Astrology Cafe session, and we're thrilled to be launching it at the start of 2026 – an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious.

After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome.

**Hey everybody!** Do you want to code together, share your projects, or just hang out in a creative atmosphere? Then join us at the **Coding Club @ Jo&Joe Hostel**!

Catherine is a Product Manager with over 10 years experience of planning and shaping internal tooling for SMEs & enterprises.

Sunday is an invitation to slow down. A natural pause between the week that was and the one ahead. Our weekly Breathwork Circle at **The Center in Noordhoek** (Cape Town) is designed as a dedicated space to step out of doing-mode and back into your body, your breath, and yourself. In this 2-hour Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) session, we guide you through a powerful yet safe breath journey that supports stress release, emotional regulation, inner clarity, and reconnection with what truly matters to you. Breathwork has the capacity to gently dissolve stored tension, bring insight, and open space for lasting change — without needing to “talk” your way through it. Each circle is intentionally capped at **6 participants** to allow for depth, presence, and individual attention within a supportive group container. This Sunday circle is an ongoing weekly offering — a ritual to recalibrate your nervous system, reflect on your inner landscape, and consciously set the tone for the days ahead. No prior breathwork experience is needed; just a willingness to show up as you are. **About us:** These circles are facilitated by Sophie and Bjoern, certified Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitators and co-founders of *onoera*. Coming from high-performance career backgrounds and having experienced burnout and misalignment firsthand, they guide each session with depth, sensitivity, and respect for individual processes. Their work blends science-informed nervous-system awareness with embodied presence, creating a grounded, non-dogmatic space where participants can explore at their own pace. Each circle is intentionally limited in size to ensure personal attention and a contained group experience. No prior breathwork experience is needed — only curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself honestly. **Important Booking Information:** You need a ticket for this event. Tickets can be purchased using this link: https://onoera.com/group-circles/weekly-breathwork-circle-at-the-center-noordhoek-25-01

📚 Do you love reading, but wish you had a structure and a community to share your insights with? Join our small circle of curious minds (just 4 members per gathering) as we come together for an hour of focused reading—in the calm setting of a library or the cozy atmosphere of a café. Here’s how it works: First part: Quiet reading on your own—bring a book you’re exploring, whether it’s philosophy, history, psychology, literature, or anything meaningful to you. Second part: We regroup and each person shares key takeaways, insights, or questions sparked by their reading. This sparks a structured yet free-flowing conversation around ideas, perspectives, and personal reflections. Why join? Add structure to your reading habit. Discover new books, authors, and ideas through others’ choices. Build real connections by sharing and listening deeply. Socialize around something meaningful instead of small talk.
