The language of this workshop is Hungarian. A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye. Tavaly nyár óta az **European Accessibility Act** (EAA) új szintre emelte az akadálymentesség kérdését az Európai Unióban. A szabályozás számos digitális terméket és szolgáltatást érint, többek között weboldalakat, e-kereskedelmi platformokat, banki és közlekedési szolgáltatásokat, elsősorban a közepes és nagyobb piaci szereplők körében. Papíron tehát megtörtént a váltás: az akadálymentesség már kötelezettség. De a kérdés továbbra is nyitott: **valódi változást látunk, vagy csak a megfelelés látszatát**? **Időpont:** 2026\. május 6\. szerda\, 16:00 **Helyszín:** Appy iroda (1061 Budapest, Nyugati tér 1. 6. em.) **Facilitátorok:** * **Daniss-Bodó Eszter -** neuroinkluzív tervező (Blue) * **Nagy Árpád -** lead ux designer, akadálymentességi szakértő (OTP) * **Klein Péter -** design strategist & leadership advisor (Blue) * **Szántai Károly -** tanúsított web akadálymentességi szakértő, szakoktató **Előadás** **Előadó:** Pentz Zsolt *Zsolt frontend fejlesztő, több mint 10 év tapasztalattal a webes felhasználói felületek fejlesztésében. Elkötelezett híve a hozzáférhető, jól működő, érthető és felhasználóközpontú megoldásoknak. Jelenleg gazdálkodási és menedzsment alapképzésen végzős hallgató, szakdolgozatában az EAA kapcsán vizsgálja a magyar weboldalak hozzáférhetőségének alakulását a törvény hatálybalépését követő időszakban.* **Téma:** Zsolt kutatásában **44 héten keresztül** követett nyomon több, mint **700 weboldalt.** Az oldalak rendszeres automatizált vizsgálaton estek át, így nem csak egy pillanatképet látunk, hanem azt is, hogyan változik az akadálymentességi hibák száma időben. A kutatás nem állt meg a hibák számolásánál. Az **adatok mögé** néz: * milyen típusú cégeknél történik valódi előrelépés, * hol stagnál vagy romlik a helyzet, * számít-e a cégméret, az iparág vagy a működési modell, * és milyen mintázatokat lehet megfigyelni az EAA bevezetése után. Az előadás bemutatja a módszertant, az adatgyűjtés és elemzés kihívásait, valamint a legfontosabb mintázatokat és felismeréseket. **Workshop:** A második részben közösen dolgozunk azon, hogy ezek az eredmények ne csak érdekesek, hanem használhatók is legyenek. Kiscsoportokban azt vizsgáljuk: * mit jelentenek ezek az insightok **különböző szereplők** számára, * és hol lehetnek azok a pontok, ahol be lehet avatkozni. Ez a workshop azoknak szól, akik nem csak megérteni akarják az akadálymentességet, hanem hatni is rá, akár designerként, fejlesztőként, product ownerként vagy döntéshozóként. **RSVP** Kérjük, használd az RSVP-t! Ha bármilyen okból nem tudsz eljönni, kérjük, frissítsd foglalásodat, hogy más számára felszabaduljon a hely. **A helyszín akadálymentessége:** A helyszín akadálymentes. Lift és akadálymentes mosdó található az épületben. Segítőkutyádat természetesen szeretettel várjuk. **Fotózás** Készíts te is fotókat, és töltsd fel ide az eseményhez. Örökítsük meg együtt eseményeinket. **Van Meetup ötleted?** Folyamatosan szeretnénk javítani eseményeinket a te hozzájárulásoddal is. Ha van egy téma a fejedben, vagy ha szeretnéd, hogy a céged szponzoráljon egy eseményt, esetleg segítenél a szervezésben, jelezd nekünk.

Join us on **May 6th from 17:45** for an evening of hands-on learning, insightful talks, and networking with fellow developers and AI enthusiasts. This time, we’re focusing on how AI is transforming both individual coding workflows and large-scale engineering organizations: 📌 **Topic 1: “AI-Assisted Coding with GitHub Copilot”** Speaker: Liam Hampton, Senior Cloud Advocate, Microsoft & GitHub Join a community-led session exploring how developers can effectively use GitHub Copilot in their day-to-day work. This session will cover practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on approaches to integrating AI into your development process. Whether you’re just getting started or already using Copilot, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques to improve efficiency and code quality. All skill levels are welcome, just bring your laptop and curiosity. **📌 Topic 2: “How Betsson Scales AI** **at Org Level – Not Just per Developer”** Speaker: Kevin Nascimento, Data & AI Adoption Lead, Betsson Group In this session, Kevin shares how Betsson runs AI at real organizational scale. You’ll see how custom instructions move beyond per-repo files into a governed, tiered knowledge base used by 1,000+ developers, with department-specific overlays on top. He’ll walk through Agent Mode with mandatory human gates at every step, deep context engineering with live diagrams of what loads (and what doesn’t), and Plan Mode where planning is formalised and compliance-checked before any code is written. You’ll also see multi-agent compliance workflows in action, plus how teams build custom agents and prompts under centralized governance but with full local flexibility. A practical, inside look at building safe, scalable, enterprise-grade AI workflows. **🎯 Whether you’re a developer, engineer, or simply curious about AI in software development, this event offers valuable insights, practical takeaways, and the chance to connect with like-minded professionals.** **Seats fill up quickly, so secure your spot and join us for an evening of learning, networking, and real-world AI applications.**

**Admin Night ☻** (**May 6th**\, Wednesday 18:30 \| **Location:** Művház Kávézó) **Welcome to the unplugged club Budapest ✨** *This is a community for slowing down, disconnecting from our phones and reconnecting with ourselves and others.* Usually, we gather to put our devices away, but this time the **unplugged club will be "plugged"** — so we can connect and support each other in person while tackling our to-do lists! **What is an Admin Night?** It’s a space to finally get around to those things you’ve been procrastinating on. We often carry around **"open loops"** — those unfinished tasks, unread articles, or half-planned projects that sit in the back of our minds, draining our mental energy. Whether it’s clearing your inbox, updating your resume, or finally planning that trip, let's close some loops together in a focused, cozy atmosphere. **〜 Read more about:** [what is an Admin night](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/26/health/admin-night-adults-productivity-trend-wellness) [what is "closing loops"](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/open-loops-mental-exhaustion_l_6965121fe4b0ac0d12a380db) "***The Zeigarnik effect*** is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain remembers interrupted or unfinished tasks better than completed ones. (...) it suggests that unfinished tasks create cognitive tension, keeping them active in memory." **〜 What to expect** ◦ Bring your laptop, iPad, phone, or notebook — whatever you need to get your "admin" done. ◦ A dedicated block of time for focused productivity alongside others. ◦ A supportive environment to turn chores into a social, shared experience. ◦ Space to chat, share progress, and have a drink while we work. **〜 Location** Művház Kávézó Budapest, Bartók Béla út 33, 1114 **〜 Schedule** 18:30 – Welcome, grab a drink, and share one thing you want to "cross off" tonight 19:00 – 20:30 – Focused admin time & co-working 20:30 – 21:00 – Closing reflections and informal socializing - optional **〜 Notes** ✧ The event is free, but please support the venue by purchasing a beverage or food. ✧ While devices are allowed for this specific session, we still encourage mindful usage (no scrolling!) and staying present with the group and your tasks. ✧ RSVP on Meetup to ensure we have enough table space for everyone.

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

💜 Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! 💜 Sziasztok PyLadiek! Ez alkalommal bepillantunk a legintenzívebben fejlődő AI-technológiák világába. Elsőként pár fogalmat és alkalmazási területet nézünk meg, majd pedig csinálunk Pythonban egy saját LLM-et. Felépítjük komponenseinket, és ki is próbáljuk, mire képes egy alaprendszer. A szünet utáni második részben az igényeinket kibővítjük, a rendszerkomponenseket nagyobb tudású elemekkel helyettesítjük, és így építünk fel egy, a gyakorlatban is használható megoldást, egy lokális RAG-rendszert. 👨‍💻 Előadó: Sepp Norbert 🗓️ Programterv Múltkori alkalmakból tanulva, most hosszabb szünetet hagyunk a ket előadás között, hogy legyen időnk beszélgetni és megismerni egymást :) • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:40 Szünet, Networking • 19:40 – 20:35 Előadás II. • 20:35 – 21:00 Záró gondolatok, elköszönés (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) 💻 Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így ajánlott, hogy legyen nálad egy programozásra alkalmas számítógép. A meetup előtt egy héttel részletes telepítési és előkészítési útmutatót küldünk. Ha régebbi vagy kisebb teljesítményű géped van, akkor sincs gond – az első részhez nem lesz szükség komolyabb erőforrásokra. 💜 Kit várunk? Olyan lányokat/nőket, akik érdeklődnek az AI és a Python iránt, és szeretnék megérteni, hogyan működnek a modern nyelvi modellek, illetve kipróbálnák magukat egy saját rendszer építésében. 📍 Helyszín Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra) Cím: 1139 Budapest, Váci út 99 🌍 Nyelv Az esemény nyelve: magyar (és Python) 🤝 Szponzor HCL Technologies Starschema Kft.

Join SnapSoft and the AWS Serverless community for a night of scaling and security. We’re diving into **multi-agent GenAI** workflows for massive **document generation** on **Bedrock**, paired with a high-stakes look at **enterprise PKI** and the hard lessons learned from intermediate **PCA expiration**. Pizza and beer included! 🍕🍺 **Agenda** 18:00 - Arrival 18:15 - Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS 18:50 - Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration 19:25 - Networking, **Pizza, Drinks** **Large-Scale GenAI Document Creation on AWS** This session showcases a real-world GenAI solution built on AWS, where Amazon Bedrock and other AWS managed services power a multi-agent workflow for document ingestion, retrieval, and large-scale automated document generation. One of the key outcomes was the ability to generate multiple hundreds of pages in one go, while maintaining structure, context, and quality across complex documents. We will explore the architectural decisions made, how we would improve it today. Along the way, we highlight key trade-offs, common anti-patterns, and emerging best practices for building scalable, future-proof GenAI solutions. **Tick-Tock: Lessons from a Near-Miss PCA Expiration** PKI is the silent engine of enterprise trust, but its complexity often stays hidden until something goes wrong. This session provides a practical overview of enterprise-scale PKI architecture before deconstructing a real-world crisis: an almost expired intermediate signing PCA. We’ll explore the cascading technical fallout across the infrastructure and share battle-tested strategies for maintaining crypto-agility. Join us to learn how to manage these critical lifecycles before the "silent" failures start. **SPEAKERS** **Patrick Nanys** Patrick is an ML Engineer focused on taking AI systems from idea to production. His background spans large-scale NLP infrastructure, LLM applications, agentic workflows, and custom ML systems, both in high-throughput enterprise environments and in client-facing AI projects. **Márton Varga** Márton is a Cloud Engineer at specializing in AWS architectures for large-scale enterprise clients. He has a track record of building complex hybrid networking solutions and robust landing zones using **Terraform and Terragrunt**. With a focus on infrastructure efficiency and security, Márton enjoys deconstructing the "silent" critical systems—like PKI—that keep the enterprise running.

Join us for a night of laughs as we dive into the quirky, beautiful weirdness of our beloved country! Venue: Mixát (Budapest, Krúdy u. 7, 1088) Showtime: 8 PM Doors open: 7 PM Hosted by: Tauseef Parvez Donations are expected at entrance!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
