**Transformation & Leadership wirksam gestalten** Künstliche Intelligenz verändert Organisationen – schnell, tiefgreifend und unumkehrbar. Mit den neuen technologischen Möglichkeiten wächst jedoch auch die Verantwortung: *Wer trifft Entscheidungen? Wer trägt sie? Und welche Rolle spielt Führung in KI-getriebenen Transformationsprozessen?* Diese Vor-Ort-Veranstaltung verbindet **Change Management, Leadership, Ethik und KI-Praxis**. Ziel ist es, Verantwortung nicht abstrakt zu diskutieren, sondern **konkret, reflektiert und wirksam** zu gestalten – mit Raum für Austausch, Perspektiven und echte Fragen aus der Praxis. **Special Guests** **Elke Pichler** Partnerin bei MagnoliaTree Consulting. Berät Organisationen an der Schnittstelle von KI-Transformation, Ethik und würdevoller Führung. Systemische Coachin, Facilitatorin und Keynote Speakerin. **Michael Bartz** Professor an der IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems und Unternehmensberater mit Fokus auf *Zukunft der Arbeit* und Produktivität. Experte für Organisations- und Transformationsarbeit mit starkem Praxisbezug. **Für wen ist der Event geeignet?** * Führungskräfte * Change- & Organisationsentwickler:innen * HR, Transformation, Innovation & Digitalisierung * Alle, die KI nicht nur einführen, sondern **verantwortungsvoll gestalten** wollen **Event Location** Die Veranstaltung findet hier statt: **District Living – Event Location „Leiwand”** Donau-City-Straße 3 1220 Wien Weitere Infos zur Location findest du hier: [https://www.district-living.at/en/cowork](https://www.district-living.at/en/cowork) Unter **„Fotos“** ist ein Wegweiser zur Location hinterlegt. **Datenschutzhinweis:** Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung werden Foto- und Videoaufnahmen erstellt.

**THIS MEETUP WILL BE IN-PERSON 🕺** **We're starting at 17:40 this time! 🕒** **What to expect:** 🗣️ Two or three speakers 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end and free drinks afterwards ✔️ Just RSVP! Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors open * **17:40 - Welcome by &‌‌amp and SQUER** * 17:50 - First talk * 18:35 - Break * 18:50 - Second talk * 19:35 - Food, Drinks & Networking * 21:30 - Doors closing 👂 **Talks:** 🗣️ Boris Wrubel **Developing Selenium Tests with AI: Practical Insights from Real-World Automation Projects** 🗣️ Philipp Greitbauer **Modern Java Packaging: From Slim Images to Swift Runtimes** 🧑‍💻 **Speakers:** **Boris Wrubel** has over 20 years of experience in software testing, specializing in test automation within agile environments. His expertise spans major projects in banking, telecommunications, and the public sector. For a decade, Boris was part of the Industrial Software Research Group (INSO) at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where he also organized and lectured in the "Software Testing" course. He holds a degree in Business Informatics, with a focus on project and quality management from TU Wien, and has contributed to open-source test automation projects in recent years. *Talk description:* He will share an honest field report from an ongoing project: How does my day-to-day work with Selenium change when generative AI is added as a support tool? Using concrete examples, I demonstrate how AI-based tools help with writing, revising, and understanding test code - for example, by suggesting test cases, proposing refactorings, or assisting with debugging. The focus is not on technology promises, but on real-world experience: Where does AI save time? Where does it lead you astray? And how does this change the role of the test automation engineer? The talk is aimed at anyone interested in the use of AI in quality assurance, with a focus on practical insights, pitfalls, and concrete learnings from everyday project work. **Philipp Greitbauer** is a software engineer at &‌‌amp, a Vienna-based software consulting company. While he works across the full stack, his focus lies in the backend using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot. Driven by a curiosity that often leads him down technical "rabbit holes", Philipp is committed to building proper technical foundations. He prioritizes utilizing existing tools to their full potential rather than reinventing the wheel, ensuring that systems are built efficiently. His daily work involves helping clients evolve their systems, drawing on his experience in the banking industry and the public sector. *Talk description:* In this session, we will look at modern strategies for efficiently packaging and running Spring Boot applications. If you are currently building Docker images by simply copying fat JARs, there are several newer tools and techniques in the Java ecosystem that can significantly optimize both your deployment process and runtime performance. We will explore the use of Buildpacks and Spring AOT, alongside JVM advancements like Project Leyden and Java 25’s Compact Object Headers. The talk will also contrast GraalVM with optimized JVM runtimes using AOT Cache or CRaC, examining how these different approaches address the challenges of startup time and resource usage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Can't find what you like?** **Got something to say?** 📢 Send us your thoughts in the comments. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or stepping onto the stage for the first time, we’d love to have you share your insights at one of our upcoming events. Interested in giving a talk? Let us know!

**THE LAST CEO** What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office? A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at. The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite? We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\. **Programme:** 🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab 💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas 🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist) 🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no?
