Build & Connect Meetup mit Paneltalk: "Agentur aufbauen, aber wie?"
Willkommen bei *"Build & Connect"*, dem Treffpunkt für Selbstständige und alle, die es werden wollen – organisiert von Gründerio.
English description below.
Dieses kostenfreie Event richtet sich an Menschen, die selbstständig sind und ihre Reise mit neuen Perspektiven, wertvollen Kontakten und spannenden Insights bereichern möchten. Natürlich sind auch alle willkommen, die sich noch in der Planungsphase ihrer Selbstständigkeit befinden!
**Das erwartet dich bei unserem Meetup:**
🌟 **Paneltalk**: "Agentur aufbauen, aber wie?"
Drei Perspektiven auf Wachstum, Team & Positionierung in Zeiten von KI
Agentur ist nicht gleich Agentur. Und es gibt nicht den einen richtigen Weg, ein Unternehmen aufzubauen.
Beim nächsten Gründerio Meetup sprechen wir mit drei Agenturinhaber:innen, die ganz unterschiedliche Wege gegangen sind.
Im Panel geht es um:
• Wie und wann der Schritt vom Freelancer zur Agentur sinnvoll ist
• Was sich verändert, wenn plötzlich ein Team da ist
• Welche Strukturen und Systeme beim Wachstum wirklich helfen
• Wie sich Agenturen heute in Zeiten von KI positionieren
• Und warum nicht jeder skalieren *muss*, aber jede:r bewusst entscheiden sollte
🎤 **Mit dabei sind:**
**Johanna Lederer (Studio Ardē)**
Vom Freelancer-Start zur eigenen Agentur
**Mathias Böhm (Artline Design)**
Einblicke in den Aufbau und die Führung eines größeren Teams sowie die Herausforderungen, die mit Wachstum kommen.
**Lauren Klocker (Boxquadrat)**
Ein Co-Founder-Setup mit eigener Dynamik
Im Anschluss gibt es Raum für Fragen, Diskussionen und Networking in entspannter Atmosphäre.
🤝 **Austausch auf Augenhöhe:** In einer entspannten Atmosphäre kannst du dich mit Gleichgesinnten vernetzen, Ideen austauschen und von den Erfahrungen anderer profitieren.
🍹 **Gechillte Atmosphäre:** Uns ist wichtig, dass du dich wohlfühlst und Spaß hast. Wenn sich daraus ein neuer Geschäftskontakt oder eine Zusammenarbeit entwickelt – umso besser!
🚀 **Unser Ziel:** Wir möchten dir nicht nur die Möglichkeit bieten, neue Leute kennenzulernen und echte Verbindungen zu schaffen, sondern dir auch praktische Werkzeuge an die Hand geben, die deinen unternehmerischen Alltag erleichtern und dein Business optimieren.
Wir freuen uns darauf, dich bei unserem nächsten Treffen in Wien willkommen zu heißen. Lass uns zusammen lernen, wachsen und die Reise als Selbstständige gestalten.

Welcome to *"Build & Connect"*, the meet-up for entrepreneurs and everyone aspiring to become one – hosted by Gründerio.
This free event is tailored for self-employed individuals looking to enrich their journey with fresh perspectives, valuable connections, and inspiring insights. Of course, those still in the planning stages of self-employment are also warmly invited!
Here’s what awaits you at our meet-up:
🌟 **Panel Discussion (in German!): “Building an Agency — But How?”**
Three Perspectives on Growth, Team, and Positioning in the Age of AI
Not all agencies are created equal. And there’s no single right way to build a business.
At the next Gründerio Meetup, we’ll be talking with three agency owners who have taken very different paths.
The panel will cover:
• How and when it makes sense to make the leap from freelancer to agency
• What changes when you suddenly have a team
• Which structures and systems really help with growth
• How agencies position themselves today in the age of AI
• And why not everyone has to scale—but everyone should make a conscious decision
🎤 Joining us are:
Johanna Lederer (Studio Ardē)
From freelance beginnings to her own agency
Mathias Böhm (Artline Design)
Insights into building and leading a larger team, as well as the challenges that come with growth.
Lauren Klocker (Boxquadrat)
A co-founder setup with its own dynamic
Afterward, there will be time for questions, discussions, and networking in a relaxed atmosphere.
🤝 **Exchange:** Connect with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere, exchange ideas, and learn from the experiences of others.
🍹 **Chilled Atmosphere:** We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself. If this leads to a new business connection or collaboration – even better!
🚀 **Our Goal:** Not only do we aim to help you meet new people and build meaningful connections, but we also want to provide you with practical tools to simplify your entrepreneurial journey and optimize your business.
We’re excited to welcome you to our next event in Vienna. Let’s learn, grow, and shape the journey of self-employment together.

Comedy im Keller – Wiens Underground-Stand-up Open-Mic @TheComedyPub
**[BUCH DEINEN PLATZ IM KELLER HIER!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-im-keller-wiens-underground-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-30RBKX?ref=MeetUp)**
**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wiens schönstem Keller. Neue Comedians, frische Jokes, freier Eintritt – jeden Dienstag im Comedy Pub.**
Willkommen zu **Comedy im Keller**, dem dienstäglichen Highlight der Wiener Comedy-Szene! Hier trifft sich jede Woche ein wilder Mix aus aufstrebenden Newcomern und erfahrenen Stand-up-Comedians, um neue Gags auszuprobieren, mutige Ideen zu testen und das Publikum im historischen Keller vom *The Comedy Pub* zum Lachen zu bringen.
Der Name ist Programm: In Wien geht man zum Lachen in den Keller – und bei uns stimmt das zu 100%. Unser wunderschöner Altbaukeller bietet ein echtes **Underground-Feeling** mit einer intimen Atmosphäre, die dir das Gefühl gibt, Teil von etwas Besonderem zu sein.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist die Werkstatt der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier entstehen neue Bits, werden Witze gefeilt und spontane Momente geboren. Mal landet ein Joke punktgenau, mal scheitert er glorreich – aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. Das Publikum erlebt Comedy **ungeschönt, unzensiert und hautnah**.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Pub oben, Lacher unten
Der **Comedy Pub** ist einzigartig in Wien: oben Irish Pub mit kalten Drinks und lebendiger Atmosphäre, unten Altbaukeller mit Comedy-Club-Flair. Eine perfekte Kombination, um nach der Arbeit in die Woche zu starten: erst ein Bier an der Bar, dann ein Abend voller Lacher im Keller.
Adresse: Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien – direkt bei der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Comedy lebt vom Publikum. Deine Reaktionen – Lachen, Klatschen oder auch mal Schweigen – helfen den Comedians, besser zu werden. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Wenn du lachst, wirf ein paar Münzen in den Hut – das ist die ehrlichste Form von Applaus.
## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum
Damit alle eine gute Zeit haben, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge:
* Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht.
* Respektiere die Bühne – keine Gespräche während der Show.
* Lachen ist Pflicht! (und zwar laut 😉)
* Kein Heckling – wirklich, das endet nie gut.
* Spenden sind Liebe. Zeig den Comedians, dass sie dich zum Lachen gebracht haben.
## 🎉 Warum Dienstag?
Weil die Woche besser startet, wenn du lachst. **Comedy im Keller** ist der perfekte Anti-Dienstags-Blues: frisch, roh, nahbar und immer überraschend. Jeder Abend hat ein neues Line-up, also lohnt es sich, immer wiederzukommen.

**Breaking Up with My Default Stack**
🧑💻 **Speakers:**
**Eva Schwarz** \- Software Engineer and Tribe Lead with \~15 years of experience bringing PM ideas to life\, fighting bugs\, facing incidents\, and still being amazed by how beautiful code can be\. I’ve been with willhaben for 6 years\, currently supporting the mission of breaking the monolith and migrating our search engine\.
*Talk description:*
What happens behind the scenes when the lights blink red at Austria’s largest marketplace? This talk takes you on the full journey of an incident at willhaben - from the adrenaline of the first pager alarm to the relief of the fix, and finally, the crucial post-mortem. We will explore how we turn chaos into structured response, practice a blameless culture, and use every outage as fuel to build a more resilient platform. Join us to see how we ensure that a software failure today leads to a stronger system tomorrow.
**Patrick Favre** \- Software engineer with 15\+ years of experience\, starting with Java and evolving toward cloud\-native architectures\.
Currently a Lead Developer at Senacor Technologies, focused on building scalable systems in complex enterprise environments, with a strong interest in how cloud requirements are changing the way we choose our tech stacks.
*Talk description:*
As software has moved toward cloud-native and cloud-first architectures, the constraints and priorities of our systems have changed.
In this talk, I’ll explore how that shift reshaped the way I evaluate technologies - as a Java developer at heart - and why I sometimes choose alternatives to the JVM, while still seeking the strengths I value from the Java ecosystem.
Location, Food & Drinks are **sponsored** **by willhaben 🫶**

Tuesday Co-Working Session in Vienna with Style – Get It Done Together
**Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.**
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone.
Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.**
At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently.
**Why “Style”?**
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different,
something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through.
**Execution with Style**
Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t:
* the jacket that never leaves your closet
* something colorful, dramatic, or expressive
* something funny, strange, or unexpected
* something you feel like you “can’t pull off”
No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it.
**Self-expression + execution = momentum**
**What this really is**
This is a space for people who:
* keep starting but don’t finish
* are building something (or figuring it out)
* don’t want to do it alone anymore
**What happens here**
You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done.
**Why people come back**
* “I finally follow through on what I plan”
* “I leave with real progress every time”
* “This is the only place I actually stay consistent”
**Time and location**
🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM**
📍 **Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge**
Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna
💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome.
**How it works**
* **13:00–13:15 → arrival + soft intro + set your task**
* **Deep focus sessions (75’ + 15’ breaks)**
* Quiet focus + optional social space
* Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want
Simple structure. Real progress.
**First time joining?**
Look for **Joanna Liu** near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled.
**This is for you if:**
* You keep starting but don’t finish
* You feel stuck working alone
* You want structure — without pressure
* You want to express yourself AND move forward
**What you’ll get**
Not motivation. Not a productivity hack.
**You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.**
And then you come back, and do it again.
**This is how it starts**
You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing.
Finish it. We’ll be there.
**Stay connected**

This is a space you can keep coming back to.
**You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.**
And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.
Walk & Talk Wien
This week's event will be hosted by Sridhar (Srinivasan) one of our regulars, who is rediscovering the joy of being in nature and in community. He enjoys the stimulating interactions that arise from new connections while walking, and hopes that others also find their spark and are moved to flow, that eventually fulfills them.
**Walk & Talk**
Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt?
Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊
**Walk:**
Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt.
**Talk:**
Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung.
**Wie das ganze abläuft:**
* Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos.
* Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9) Wenn du mit der U4 kommst, geh bitte zum Hauptgebäude, wo die Züge und die U6 fahren.
* Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub.
* Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde.
* Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück.
* Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt.
* Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück.
* Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung.
* Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen.
**Bist du bereit?**
Dann komm mit!
**Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal**
Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.**
Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung.
**Wer macht es?**
Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben.
**Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!**
This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better.
It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

UX VIENNA at home with Arnold Schönberg
Arnold Schönberg (1874–1951) was one of the most significant figures in the creative world in the first half of the 20th century. Following in the tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler, the Austrian (and, after his immigration to New York and later Los Angeles, also US-American) composer, music theorist, teacher, and writer reshaped the practice of harmony in classical music. Some of Schönberg’s most famous contributions were the development of his twelve-tone-method and his attention to sound color (Klangfarbe), both of which strongly influenced generations of composers up until today.
But Schönberg’s creative world goes beyond music. He was a designer, painter, inventor, and systems thinker: building tools and furniture, binding books, designing stage sets and costumes, inventing machines, and even building his own chess set, for four players.
In this meetup, we explore Schönberg through a UX lens: what can his way of thinking, making, and problem-solving teach us about design, tools, and user experience today? We will also look at the museum and concert space as an experience that unfolds through the perception of an audience.
The [Arnold Schönberg Center](https://schoenberg.at/) is a repository of Schönberg's archival legacy. Director Dr. Ulrike Anton will provide an introduction to the Arnold Schönberg Center. User researcher Dr. Franziska Brunner will give us a guided tour and lead a discussion of the exhibition. Arnold Schönberg's estate is on [UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register](https://www.unesco.at/en/communication/documentary-heritage/memory-of-the-world-in-austria/arnold-schoenberg-estate), recognized for its global importance as a documentary heritage.
After an afternoon in the museum space from 3:00–6:00 p.m.. We also invite you to attend an [in-house concert at 6:30 p.m](https://schoenberg.at/en/events/upcoming-events/3793/loops-from-other-planets)., followed by dinner. 🎻 🍽️
* The €18 concert price includes entrance to the exhibit. (Entrance to just the exhibit without the concert costs € 6.)
* Admission for both the museum and the concert is free for those under 26 years old.
* Dinner afterwards is optional, and everyone will cover their own meal.

Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
AWS Meetup #50 - hosted by Bytesource

* **18:05 - 18:10:** Welcome and Introduction to the sponsors (**Bytesource**)

* **19:20 - 20:00:** **"Beyond Vibe Coding"**
* **20:00 – Open End:** Networking
**"Sales Copilot: Turn complex technical inquiries into clear, accurate offers in minutes, not hours!"**
*Speaker:* **Alexander Matev**, CISO at Bytesource
*About the talk:*
Sales CoPilot as a solution that helps teams turn complex technical customer inquiries into clear, accurate quotations much faster, reducing turnaround from hours to minutes.
The business problem: technical sales requests are slow, difficult, and error-prone when handled manually.
The Solution: Our Sales CoPilot interprets complex requirements, works with documentation and technical data, and supports offer preparation.
Technology foundation: strong emphasis on AWS as the enabler, plus AI/LLM-driven processing.
Architecture choice: a set of core AWS services to deliver both the user-facing application and the AI-powered data processing pipeline. Amazon S3 stores uploaded product datasheets and hosts the frontend assets, while Amazon CloudFront accelerates and securely delivers the web interface to users.
Incoming application traffic is routed through an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to containerized services running on Amazon ECS, which handle both backend business logic and document ingestion tasks.
For AI capabilities, Amazon Bedrock is used in two places: to extract and transform structured information from PDF datasheets, and to power the agentic logic behind the application.
Persistent structured data is stored in Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, which supports read/write operations from the backend.
Together, these AWS services provide a scalable, cloud-native architecture for hosting, processing, AI enrichment, and application delivery.
###
**"Beyond Vibe Coding"**
*Speaker:* **Sergio Lopez-Gehler**, Solutions Architect @ AWS
AI agents are changing how engineers write, test, and ship code. This talk explores what agentic coding looks like in practice — the workflow, the tradeoffs, and the tools that make it work.
We'll cover how to collaborate effectively with AI agents: prompting, reviewing, iterating, and knowing when to take over. We'll look at what changes when development gets significantly faster — testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and team coordination all need to keep up. Then we'll introduce Kiro, an agentic IDE that uses spec-driven development, steering rules, and hooks to let engineers define how the agent operates within their codebase. We'll also look at AWS DevOps Agent — an autonomous operations teammate that correlates metrics, logs, and deployment history to investigate incidents and identify root causes before you even open your laptop.

[Duplicate Event] Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
**[This is an accidentally duplicated meetup event.**
**Attendees who already signed up at this event are still welcome to attend at the time and place specified here.**
**People who have found this event by accident somehow are invited to navigate to the main group page and sign up to the main event on this day.]**
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
Crossing the Border on Foot Retz (AT) to Znojmo (CZ)
Hi everyone!
On **Sunday, April 26, 2026**, I’m planning a scenic cross-border hike from the charming town of **Retz** in Lower Austria to the historic Czech town of **Znaim (Znojmo)**. This route leads through gentle countryside, vineyards, open fields, and quiet rural landscapes typical for the Weinviertel region.
We start the hike in Retz and finish in the old town of Znaim, known for its impressive medieval architecture and its location above the Thaya River. The trail takes us through rolling hills and agricultural landscapes, gradually crossing the border into the Czech Republic. The terrain is mostly easy to walk, with wide paths and only moderate elevation changes.
**Highlights**
🌾 **Typical Weinviertel landscapes** with vineyards, fields, and wide open views
🌍 **A scenic cross-border experience** from Austria into the Czech Republic
🏰 **Finish in the historic old town of Znaim**, a charming town with impressive medieval architecture
**Hike Details**
* **Duration:** approx. 6.5 hours (pure walking time including some sightseeing in Znojmo)
* **Distance:** approx. 21 km
* **Elevation:** ↗️ 400 m up
* **Difficulty:** Easy to moderate (main challenge is the distance)
* **Pace:** We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed
More information on the trail:
[https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/weinviertel/weinberge-und-thaya-von-retz-nach-znaim/](https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/weinviertel/weinberge-und-thaya-von-retz-nach-znaim/)
**Fitness note**
Although we will walk at a relaxed pace, the hike requires physical effort due to its length (about **21 km**) and elevation gain (around **350 meters**).
The trails themselves are not technically difficult, but a reasonable level of fitness is needed to comfortably complete the distance.
This hike is therefore probably **not suitable** for people who do not go hiking regularly, who have not joined our group hikes before, or who are not used to longer hikes.
**Meeting Point & Travel**
**Meeting Time:** 08:30 at **Praterstern station**
(Ground floor near ticket machines, exit to platforms 1 & 2)
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can buy the group tickets.
**Departure:** Train **REX3** leaves at **09:01**
(presumably Platform 1–2)
**Arrival:** Retz at **10:12**
**Direct trains from Znojmo back to Vienna:** 16:57, 18:57, 20:57
I recommend avoiding the last train back, just in case.
**What to Expect**
We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day.
This is **not a race or performance hike** — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm.
We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful.
🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**).
🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**.
🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather.
Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself.**
🧢 Please bring **sun protection** (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially on warm or sunny days.
⚠️**Important**
Since we are crossing an international border on foot, please do not forget your **passport or national ID card (Personalausweis)**.
Even though there are usually no border controls between Austria and Czechia, you are legally required to carry a valid travel document.
Each person is responsible for their own documents and entry requirements.
**Ticket Option**
The **VOR Freizeitticket** costs **€19.90** for the day in Lower Austria.
More information:
[https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket](https://www.vor.at/en/tickets/ticket-overview/leisure-ticket)
Please note:
The following tickets are only valid until **Retz**:
* Einfach-raus ticket
* VOR Freizeitticket
* Klimaticket Ostregion / Österreich
You must buy your own ticket for the section between Znojmo and Retz (approx €3,4 for each direction).
The VOR Freizeitticket is only valid on regional trains in Lower Austria.
If you are unsure about ticket options, don’t worry — just message me directly.
And if this sounds complicated: it isn’t.
I will help coordinate everything at the meeting point so we can start the hike in a relaxed way.
**Disclaimer:**
As always, this is a free, private leisure activity.
I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
I will send a weather update to everyone registered on **Friday evening**.

Looking forward to seeing you for this spring hike!

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
