Women’s Coffee Network ☕ Connection Circle | BUD February Edition
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.
Seats are limited to maintain an intimate atmosphere. If you feel called to start your year with connection, we can’t wait to welcome you!

Oil Pastel & Watercolor Flower Painting Workshop
Join us for a fun and creative workshop where we’ll explore the vibrant combination of oil pastels and watercolor to create stunning floral paintings! 🌸🎨
In this 1.5-hour session, you’ll learn how to blend these two mediums to create expressive textures and lively compositions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop will offer a relaxing and inspiring space to experiment with color and form. You will go home with your very own art creation, ready to be framed and displayed!
**💰 Price: 5500 Ft**
All materials are provided—just bring your creativity! 🌿✨
Beginner/Starter Guitar Players Class
Come and join us for a **Free Guitar Learning Class**! Our class is all about beginning stages: playing chords, tabs, holding guitar properly and getting the fingers ready to play. We will have enough time to cover the basics, discuss what we would like to improve and get playing at least one simple song! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go.
Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others.
**What to bring:**
A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed.
Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly).
This event is totally **free of charge**, but you are welcome to donate, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills.
Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space!

**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
