Google Cloud Budapest Meetup is back! Join us on June 17th at the Aliz office in Budapest for an evening of deep-tech insights, practical engineering strategies, and networking with fellow Google Cloud and AI enthusiasts. As AI tools reshape the development landscape, the definition of a "good engineer" is shifting. This meetup isn't about generic AI prompts - it's about the concrete skills and old-school engineering discipline required to build reliable, scalable, AI-native applications. 🎫 The event is free, but seats are limited. **Save yours now! 👇** ⌛ Register here: [https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026](https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026) ================= **Talk 1** **Becoming a Context Engineering Professional in Your Domain** by Tamás Imets (AI Solution Architect), Aliz The most underrated skill in the AI era: context engineering. How to structure prompts, design context windows, and become a force multiplier in your technical domain. Practical patterns from the field that turn good engineers into AI-native practitioners. **Talk 2** **The Revenge of the Fundamentals: old-school ideas winning in the AI era** by Máté Czékus (Lead Architect) and Aamna Tayyab (Head of Delivery), Adroit Group The core argument: LLMs accelerate code generation are non-deterministic and inconsistent by default, which makes foundational engineering practices and tooling more important then ever. Teams that skipped the fundamentals, or was still hand rolling checks when AI arrived are paying for it at integration boundaries — it'll be way more harder to guide agent to write compliant and consistent code, and even harder to review the huge amount that was generated. Three fundamental tools doing more work than they get credit for: * JSON Schema — enforcing the contract between modules * TDD — writing the tests before the code * Linters and formatters — static governance that guides the shapeand correctness what the model sometimes misses even with context Máté brings a live demo: one real multi-cloud cost explorer example showing what AI tooling produces by default vs the disciplined version side by side. ================= 📣 Meet the speakers **Tamás Imets** An **AI Solution Architect** at **Aliz** who has been tinkering with tech since age 13 - moving from taking apart toys for robots to founding an AI startup where he led product and engineering. When he’s not building AI-native systems, you’ll find him backpacking through East Asian megacities, playing squash, or experimenting with new musical instruments. **Máté Czékus** He is a **software engineer** at **Adroit Group** who spends his days planning, testing, and refactoring systems while exploring the latest technologies. A passionate specialty coffee enthusiast and functional programming nerd, he believes that if you can build something, you should also be able to deploy and maintain it. **Aamna Tayyab** As **Head of Delivery** at **Adroit Group**, Aamna works at the intersection of product and engineering analyzing requirements, shaping architecture, and turning ambiguous ideas into work teams can actually deliver. Alongside her job, she co-organizes GDG Budapest and stays active in the Google developer community. ================= ☁️ Exclusive Google Cloud meetup in Budapest. 🍕 Cool presentations from experts and a networking opportunity - drink and snacks are on us. 🏎️ Free guarded parking. 🐶 Dog-friendly venue. ⌚️ Arrival from 18:30, presentation starts at 19:00. 🎫 Free, limited seats event, ensure yours by registering: https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026

*“The idea that we live in a universe without meaning is a difficult one to accept.”* *―* Richard Dawkins *“Science can tell us how the heavens go, but not why we are here.”* *―* Stephen Jay Gould **Session in english! Also available on [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-science-noma-and-the-limits-of-knowledge-2026-06-19/) for Karma Points.** Science has transformed the world. It has allowed us to predict nature, cure diseases, build technologies, and understand ourselves better than any previous civilization. But a question remains: Are there limits to where science cannot reach? Should there be limits to science? What happens when science gets in other territories like culture, morals or values? * **The scientific naturalist view**: reality is ultimately explained through physical processes. * **NOMA** (Non Overlapping Magisteria) or the idea that science and religion answer different kinds of questions. * **Critiques of scientism**: the belief that science is the only valid way of knowing. Thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, and Mary Midgley approach these questions from very different directions. **You do NOT need to have read any of the books**. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests * Which main driver do you think has the most influence on the outcome for a nation? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. What meaningful things are there that science will never be able to explain? 2. If a belief cannot be falsified, does that make it irrational? 3. If science explains how something happens, does it also explain why it matters? 4. Should we trust science because it is useful, or because it is true? 5. Evolution can explain why humans developed morality, would that make morality less real? 6. If the universe has no built-in meaning, can human-created meaning be just as real? 7. Would a world with perfect happiness but no truth be better than a world with suffering but genuine knowledge? 8. Is religion answering different questions than science, or are they competing? 9. If religions disappeared tomorrow, would humanity lose something important? 10. If a religious belief produces good consequences but is scientifically unprovable, should we keep it? 11. Is believing only what can be scientifically proven itself a belief that science cannot prove? 12. Can religion remain in a “separate domain” if it makes claims about reality (miracles, creation, afterlife)? 13. If science explains how humans came to believe in God, does that undermine the religious belief itself? 14. If only scientifically verifiable statements are meaningful, is that rule itself meaningful or scientifically provable? 15. Problem of induction: If something has always worked in the past, is that a good reason to trust it will work in the future—or just a habit of thinking? 16. Problem of uniformity: Why do we trust that a star 10 billion light-years away follows the same rules as experiments on Earth? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup OR [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/philosophy-session-science-noma-and-the-limits-of-knowledge-2026-06-19/) (get Karma Points for assisting!) In both cases, in case you cannot come, please yield your space to another person in the waiting list. **We are testing a different days and a different places. This is a tea place so you are encourage to try some tea.**

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###
