Modeling

The language of this workshop is Hungarian. A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye. A felhasználóknak mindig tudniuk kell, hogy egy-egy űrlapmezőbe milyen adatot írjanak be. Ehhez elengedhetetlen az űrlapmezők megfelelő címkézése, illetve instrukciókkal történő ellátása. Mivel a címkék nagyon fontosak az akadálymentesség szempontjából, ezért kiemelt szerepet kapnak WCAG szabványban is. A WCAG számos kritériuma foglalkozik azzal, hogy a címkézési folyamat mely aspektusai okozhatnak potenciális akadályokat. A workshopon gyakorlati példák segítségével azt járjuk körül, hogy milyen módon lehet elkerülni ezeket a címkézéssel kapcsolatos anomáliákat. **Többek közt szó lesz arról, hogy:** * mi az összefüggés az űrlapmező címkéje és elnevezése között, * közvetlenül mely WCAG kritériumok vonatkoznak a címkére, * a különböző kisegítő technológiák használatakor hogyan érvényesül a címke, * milyen a jó címkeszövegezés, * a HTML kódban hogyan valósítható meg az akadálymentes címkézés. **Időpont:** 2026\. március 4\.\, szerda\, 16:00 **Helyszín:** Appy iroda (1061 Budapest, Nyugati tér 1. 6. em.) **Meghívott szakértő:** **dr. Velegi Dorottya** \- CPACC\, jogász **Facilitátorok:** * **Daniss-Bodó Eszter -** ux designer, accessibility advocate (Blue) * **Nagy Árpád -** lead ux designer, akadálymentességi szakértő (OTP) * **Klein Péter -** design strategist & leadership advisor (Blue) * **Szántai Károly -** tanúsított web akadálymentességi szakértő, szakoktató **Program:** 1, Bevezető előadás - Szántai Károly 2, Csoportmunka interaktív feladatokkal 3, Közös összegzés **Kiknek szól?** UX/UI tervezőknek, fejlesztőknek, tesztelőknek, és akadálymentességi szakembereknek. A workshop gyakorlati példáiban nagyon egyszerű HTML kódok is lesznek, de ez senkit ne riasszon el a részvételtől. A kódolásban kevésbé járatos résztvevőknek is segíteni fogunk ezek értelmezésében. **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.

Foundation models are leaving the cloud — and entering the physical world. Robotics is quietly becoming the next global ecosystem. Open-source foundation models. End-to-end learning. Industrial-grade reliability. And radically new ways of building robotic bodies. This meetup is special because we’re not just talking theory. We’re bringing together speakers from: • **Hugging Face** — powering one of the world’s leading open AI ecosystems, now expanding into open-source robotics • **mimic robotics** — building scalable, real-world robotic manipulation systems for industrial deployment • **Allonic** — reinventing how robotic bodies are manufactured through its 3D Tissue Braiding technology, recently raised €6M in pre-seed funding — the largest hardware pre-seed round in Hungary to date This event is powered by **ShareTech Foundation** — a non-profit initiative building bridges between frontier technology, industry, and the European tech ecosystem. This event venue is provided by **Tulip Interfaces** a manufacturing app platform empowering frontline teams with digital tools and real-time data. *** ** Date & Time:** March 5. 2026, 17:30 ** Location:** Tulip Interfaces Office - Budapest, Köztelek u. 6, 1092 *** ** The Talks** *** **Dana Aubakirova** ML Research Engineer — Hugging Face **Open-Source Robotics: Bringing Foundation Models to Real Robots** From Vision–Language–Action models to real robotic deployment. Dana will walk us through: * How foundation models are reshaping robotics * Multimodal pretraining and scaling trends * SmolVLA and the LeRobot open-source ecosystem * Community-driven robot data collection * What still blocks large-scale embodied AI If you care about open-source AI moving into the physical world — this one’s for you. *** **Benedek Forrai** Co-Founder & Lead Roboticist — mimic robotics **Systems as Moat — Bringing Reliability into End-to-End Learning** End-to-end learning is exciting. Industrial reliability is harder. Benedek shares: * VLA → VAM evolution * Scaling pretraining without massive robot datasets * Architectural bottlenecks in current pipelines * Why system design becomes the true competitive moat This is where research meets customer-grade deployment. *** **Benedek Tasi** Founder & CEO — Allonic **Complexity in Robotic Bodies — And Making Them Simple Enough for Mass Production** As robot intelligence scales, hardware complexity explodes. Allonic introduces **3D Tissue Braiding** — a radically new way of “growing” robotic bodies in a single integrated process. We’ll explore: * Bio-inspired robotic connective structures * Reducing hundreds of parts into unified builds * Manufacturing scalability for the next robotics wave This is how you build robots that can actually scale. *** ** Agenda** 17:30 — Arrival & welcome 18:00 — Talks 20:00 — Community networking 21:00 — Wrap-up ** Why You Should Come** Because robotics is no longer sci-fi. It’s becoming infrastructure. And the next big shift in AI will be embodied. Join us if you’re into: * AI & foundation models * Robotics & manipulation * Industrial systems * Hardware innovation * Or just want to see where this is all heading As always: high-signal talks, real practitioners, strong community. See you there. *ShareTech.Foundation is building Europe’s next-generation tech communities — from AI and robotics to hardware prototyping and cross-border collaboration.* \*Please note: All presentations will be conducted in English to welcome our growing number of international members. \*\*Please be informed that photographs/videos can be taken at the event, in which the event participants may be identifiable as data subjects.

For our **March 8th Special Edition** in Budapest, we are hosting a curated circle designed to anchor our intentions and empower our collective growth. **What makes this edition special?** Within the high-quality connections we usually create, this time we'll be using thematic design tools specifically designed for this day. These prompts set focus on **Female Empowerment**, reclaiming our unique strengths and visualizing our futures for the year ahead. **Your Ticket includes** * **Facilitated Circle:** An intimate, 2-hour soft guided session to build genuine professional and social bridges. * **Empowerment Collection:** First access to our new thematic design tool. * **Seasonal Surprise:** Every lady at the table will receive a curated gift to take home (a living symbol of your growth and grounding this spring). **Important Details** 🕒 **When:** Sunday, March 8th 📍 **Where:** Budapest. A secret, cozy café (to be revealed to participants a few days before the event). 💜 Seats are strictly limited for this special tribute. 👉 To secure your spot, please [grab your ticket here.](https://luma.com/644u3b7w) \-\-\- **🛡️ Our Private Circle** To maintain a safe and transparent environment for our members, this is a dedicated space for women and those identifying as female.

This is a **paid** and **Women only** event! In honor of International ***Women’s Day (8th of March)***, we celebrate not only strength and success, but also resilience — the quiet, powerful kind that lives in every woman’s story. Every scar, every lesson, and every woman who continues to rise — stronger, wiser, and beautifully whole. ***Kintsugi*** dates back to the 15th century and means “joining with gold” in Japanese. A broken object (ceramic) is glued together with lacquer and then the seams are covered with gold. Wabi Sabi, related to Kintsugi, is the philosophy of embracing our flaws and life’s fragility. During the workshop, we will go through the various processes of Kintsugi – breaking, grinding, joining, gluing, gilding – thereby we will also see our own vulnerability on the path to becoming whole. **Leading the workshop:** Jennifer Nyerki (Art and Sociotherapist) **Date:** Saturday 7 March 2026 - 09:30-13:30 **Location:** 7th district **Fee:** 15,000 HUF via bank transfer only! **No drop-ins!** **To register, send an email to thearttofreedom@gmail.com** **What is art therapy?** Art therapy is a self-development tool that uses creative expression for emotional awareness and personal growth. The field of Art Therapy is diverse, with each branch having its own area of expertise - visual arts, movement, dance, music, and drama..etc The focus is not on the final artwork, but on the journey and what it reveals.

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.

Join membersrs of the Central Ohio UX and digital design community for a casual monthly breakfast.

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
