We're back for 2026, and looking forward to seeing you at our February event, where you can learn more about Android and meet fellow mobile devs in person! As usual, we’ll have two great talks to set the tone of the evening, both from returning speakers at our meetup, exploring build configuration testing and code generation. **📜 Schedule:** 18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and socializing 18:30 - 19:05: First talk 19:05 - 19:30: Break 19:30 - 20:05: Second talk 20:05 - : More socializing! — **🔷 Gradle Testing: Unlocking TestKit for Developers - Tom Koptel** Testing custom Gradle plugins is a critical step in ensuring their reliability, especially when developing for Android projects. This talk will focus on leveraging the Gradle TestKit framework to set up robust testing environments for custom plugins. Attendees will learn how to configure their projects effectively, enabling seamless plugin testing and integration. Key topics include: * Project Setup for Plugin Testing: Laying the groundwork for a Gradle plugin project with proper dependencies and configurations tailored for Android development. * Using Gradle TestKit: A deep dive into functional testing with TestKit, including creating isolated test environments using GradleRunner and managing temporary directories for test builds. * Testing Against Multiple Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) Versions: Techniques to ensure compatibility across AGP versions by dynamically injecting dependencies during tests. * Advanced Testing Tools and Techniques: Exploring tools like Jacoco for code coverage metrics and live debugging of code under test. **🔷 Compile-time code generation with Kotlin Symbol Processing - Lajos Nyéki** In this talk, we will explore the advantages of compile-time code generation and how it can streamline development workflows by reducing boilerplate, improving performance and catching errors early. We’ll dive into Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP), highlighting its modern approach compared to the older Kotlin Annotation Processing Tool (KAPT), and discuss why KSP is becoming the preferred choice for many Kotlin developers. To ground these concepts, we’ll walk through a real-world case study demonstrating how compile-time code generation with KSP can be applied to solve practical problems. — 🏢🍴 Thanks to [EPAM](https://careers.epam.hu/) for hosting us in their office, and keeping us fed and hydrated throughout the event! 🚪 **Doors open at 18:00** and the first talk starts at 18:30! 🗓️ The event is free but requires registration, so **please RSVP** here and don’t forget to update your response if it changes! 📸 We plan to take photos, so if you would not like to appear on them, please tell one of the organizers! 🎤 We are always looking for new presenters, so if you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us at [meetup@androidbudapest.com](http://meetup@androidbudapest.com/) or submit at [https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea](https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea)!

**Looking to connect with other business-minded people in Budapest?** Join us for a laid-back evening at **Beer People**, a craft beer bar owned and run by digital nomads who turned their Budapest dream into a local business. It is the perfect spot to share stories over a drink, whether that is one of their many craft beers, a cider, a spirit, a glass of wine, or something nonalcoholic. There is no formal agenda, just good vibes, real conversations, and a few tables reserved for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives who understand the ups and downs of building your own path. We look forward to meeting you.

Ready for an intentional Sunday morning to anchor your week? **Women's Coffee Network** is a female networking community with the mission to create a *soft landing* for local and expat professionals. We believe that in a world of digital noise and "mass networking," we all need a steady anchor, a place where we can skip the small talk and build genuine, meaningful relationships that fuel our collective growth. Whether you are a corporate professional, a creative freelancer or currently navigating a career transition, you have a seat at our table. **Why join the Connection Circle?** Moving beyond standard networking, this is a thoughtfully designed experience. As your facilitator, my goal is to ensure every woman in the circle is introduced and heard, so you leave the morning with full batteries and a fresh network of professional bridges in the city. **WHAT TO EXPECT** * **Intimate Connection:** We keep our groups small to ensure high-quality, focused conversation. * **Meaningful Dialogue:** A space to share insights on career, balance and growth without the pressure of an elevator pitch. * **Curated Atmosphere:** We meet at Budapest's most charming hidden gems—places with soul that provide the perfect backdrop for deep talk. * **Included Perk:** Your ticket includes your **first coffee or tea**. Simply arrive, settle in and start connecting. **THE DETAILS** **When:** Sunday\, February 22nd\, 2026 \| 10:00 AM \(CET\) **Where:** A hand-picked secret cozy location (to be revealed to ticket holders 3 days before the event). **Support Fee:** Your ticket includes your first coffee or tea. This contribution supports the design of our materials, the organization of the community, and helps us ensure an intimate, high-quality experience for everyone.

**We are back. And by popular demand: We are finally doing this on a Friday!** For Event #4, we’re flipping the script. Forget the best practices. This time, we're focusing on **worst practices.** We’ll dissect real business failures through three lenses: legal, psychological, and marketing. Decisions that looked smart on paper, passed approval, and still detonated. We’ll revisit familiar disasters like **Theranos** and **Fyre Festival**, then go deeper into lesser-known, more uncomfortable cases and even scandals including global brand implosions and local examples like **Shrooly**. **This isn’t about laughing at failure.** It’s about understanding how smart teams convince themselves bad ideas are good ones, and learning how to spot the moment everything starts going wrong. **The Agenda & What You'll Learn** Three angles, one goal: Make sure you don't end up on this list next year. * **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink (it's Friday!), and connect. * **18:00 – 18:15: How NOT to run your business (legal angle).** We look at the structural red flags that sink ships. From the valuation hallucinations of **WeWork** to the **Honey scam** and local hardware flops like **Shrooly**. We’ll cover how to mismanage cash, ignore the law, and implode your company from the inside out. * **18:15 – 18:30: How NOT to gain customers (marketing angle).** “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” is how this always starts. Then the backlash hits. We’ll break down campaigns that went viral for all the wrong reasons - from **Pepsi and Bumble** to **Bud Light and Apple** \- unpacking how rebrands\, stunts\, and culture\-driven ads cross the line from attention to alienation\, and how brands lose their audience because of some 'viral' ideas\. * **18:30 – 18:35:** **🎁** A super secret surprise * **18:35 – 18:50: How NOT to handle customers (psychological angle).** Users don’t leave when something breaks, instead they leave when something feels off. We’ll explore dark UX patterns, manipulative design, and behavioral shortcuts that quietly cross ethical lines from **friend.com** to platforms that optimized engagement until users turned hostile. This is how loyal users become your loudest critics. * **18:50 – 19:00:** A very special announcement * **19:00 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks. * **20:00 onwards:** We are heading to a nearby bar. Since **nobody** has work tomorrow, we expect the conversation to go late. **Who Is This For?** This is for freelancers, digital nomads, and founders in Budapest who want to disaster-proof their work. Join a community of curious, open-minded people for an honest conversation. No corporate fluff, just genuine connections. If you want actionable takeaways on what *not* to do, this is for you. **Location** We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space. **The Legal Bit** Our imaginary lawyers (who are currently panicking about this event topic) wanted us to mention that we'll be taking some photos. By attending, you consent to this. Thanks for reading, see you on **the 20th**! Bence & Marguerite & Nándi

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

This meeting will be an open discussion about the book "an Immense World" by Ed Yong

**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: We've hired a professional comedian to warm the group up for our open mic session. Members have been making me laugh for years and we've tossed around the idea of a comedy night / open mic. Well, It's time to step up and crack me up. We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
