Anarchoagorismus s Urzou
Podařilo se nám na poslední chvíli sehnat výjimečného hosta – a bylo by škoda to nevyužít! Martin Urza, anarchokapitalista, youtuber a autor první české knihy o anarchokapitalismu, přijede osobně představit svou novou knihu **Anarchoagorismus**.
Anarchoagorismus není jen teorie. Je to praktická cesta ke svobodě pomocí prostředků dostupných každému z nás, tady a teď. Urza nám vysvětlí, co za tímto pojmem stojí, proč ho považuje za logický vývoj svého myšlení a jak tyhle myšlenky aplikovat v každodenním životě – bez čekání na revoluci.
Počítejte s živou diskusí, protože tohle téma málokdy nechává lidi lhostejnými. A samozřejmě – večer zakončíme kvalitním pokecem u piva a v atmosféře bublajících dýmek.
Kapacita je omezená, takže neváhejte – kdo přijde, nezklame se!

PyData Prague #34 - Learning from Distillation
Hello Python enthusiasts and models both large and small,
The 34th PyData meetup will take place at **Similarweb offices** (Dock in Five, reception A, 5th floor). As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as **18:00** to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks).
Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.
⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning.
**Why Your Models Fail: Learning from Regime Shifts in Real Data**
**([Alena Pavlova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alena-pavlova-494610207/), Similarweb)**
When building predictive models, we often assume that the data-generating process is stable over time. In practice, this assumption is frequently violated and ignoring it can severely degrade model performance.
In this talk, we use stock market price data to demonstrate how overlooking market regimes leads to misleading results and fragile trading strategies. We start by implementing a simple strategy under the assumption of a single, stationary regime and show how it fails in changing market conditions.
We then introduce a regime-aware approach to infer latent market states. By applying the same strategy only within appropriate regimes, we demonstrate how performance, risk characteristics, and interpretability can change dramatically.
The talk focuses on practical Python implementation, intuitive explanations of regime modeling, and concrete lessons that extend beyond finance to any non-stationary time-series problem. Attendees will learn how to detect regime shifts, incorporate them into modeling workflows, and avoid common pitfalls when working with evolving data.
**Training Small Language Models with Knowledge Distillation**
**([Gabriela Kadlecová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabriela-kadlecova/), distil labs)**
Large language models (LLMs) have proven useful across a wide range of real-world applications, from code generation and document analysis to intelligent automation and data extraction. However, their practical adoption comes with some tradeoffs: inference costs can be prohibitive at scale, and sending sensitive data to external cloud APIs raises privacy concerns. Sometimes, a general-purpose model is more than what's needed - if the task is quite specific, a smaller, specialized model could do the job just as well.
Small Language Models (SLMs) are a great alternative - running entirely on local hardware, they keep data private, respond faster, and operate at a fraction of the cost. The key challenge is making them good enough for the task at hand, and this is where knowledge distillation comes in. By having a large "teacher" model automatically generate and refine training examples, we can create a specialized "student" model tailored to a specific task, starting from as few as a handful of seed examples.
In this talk, we walk through the full distillation pipeline: from defining a task and preparing seed data, through synthetic data generation, to fine-tuning an SLM ready for local deployment. We also present benchmark results comparing base and fine-tuned models, and a live demo showing how capable a well-distilled small model can be.
Literary Reading Group: “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar A. Poe
We will discuss our reactions and interpretations of Poe’s classic 25-page short story, readable online [here](https://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Poe/Usher.pdf).
Poe is, among other things, often considered the inventor of the detective story and an original voice in the canon of American lit. This story (like many of his) is a romantic-era “gothic” work interested in madness, decay, and the supernatural. I look forward to hearing what you all think!

Facilitated Networking:Tools to scale Reputation & Trust in the Age of AI Fakery
Most professional relationships today start with a LinkedIn request and die in a DM. Meanwhile, AI-generated content is flooding every channel — making it harder to tell who's real, who's credible, and who's worth your time.
Trust is becoming the scarcest currency in professional life. And you can't build it through a screen alone.
Together with the Prague Founders & Digital Professionals community, we're hosting a small facilitated networking/mastermind evening at Spaces Smíchov. This is **not** a social mixer.
**The Topic of the Evening:** AI is making everything easier to fake — credentials, content, even relationships. So how do you build a reputation that actually holds up? How do you know who to trust — and how do others decide whether to trust you? We'll get into it.
Will share my tools & systems and would discuss your perspectives and protocols.
**This session creates a space for that.**
Together with the **Prague Founders & Digital Professionals** community, we’re hosting a small facilitated networking / mastermind evening at **Spaces Smíchov**. This is not a typical social mixer. It is a structured session designed for those who value depth over a stack of business cards.
**The Topic of the Evening:**
As AI tools automate content and work, how do professionals build real trust and maintain high-quality relationships today? We’ll discuss how reputation, credibility, and professional connections are evolving in 2026.
**What to Expect:**
* **30 min Group Discussion:** Insights on developing and maintaining trusted relationships in an AI-driven environment. We’ll cover specific frameworks and tools for staying "human" while scaling.
* **60 min Facilitated Networking:** No small talk. Structured table rotations designed so you have real conversations with most people in the room.
* **The Vibe:** No pitches. No panels. No "let me tell you about my startup." etc.
**Who usually comes:** Founders, consultants, product people, designers, and remote professionals who work globally and are tired of shallow networking.
**Agenda:**
* 17:30 – 17:45: Welcome & Snacks.
* 17:45 – 18:15: Shared Discussion: The New Rules of Trust
* 18:15 – 19:15: Facilitated Networking (Table Rotations)
* 19:15 – 19:30: Wrapping up
**About the Facilitator:**
The session is led by **[Alexander Benkendorf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benkendorf/)**, a branding strategist for international tech companies (Benkendorf Group). Alex has 20 years of experience in human experience design and product development.
**Practical details:**
* **📍 Where:** Spaces Smíchov, Prague (Business Club / Lounge)
* **📅 When:** Tuesday\, March 10 \| 17:30 – 19:30
* **🌍 Language:** English
* **👥 Limit:** \~25 people to keep discussions comfortable
**Spaces are limited to ensure quality of conversation. Please RSVP to secure your spot.**

Praha [🍺 a ☕️Lajka]: Hloupneme kvůli AI? A právo v Silicon Valley!
**„Březnový sraz, kde se řeší kód, právo i budoucnost s AI!“**
Zima končí, ale debaty o webu nekončí nikdy. Březnový sraz v [pivovaru Lajka](https://pivovarlajka.cz/pivovar/) je zpátky a tentokrát to bude pestrý mix — od umělé inteligence přes seriálové právo až po networking s lidmi, kteří žijí frontendem a designem. Vezměte dobrou náladu a přijďte!
Budeme se scházet postupně od 18:00 a **od 18:30 máme na programu:**
* 📰 Nowwwinky od Tomáše Kouta
* 🤖 AI tě naučí všechno. Nebo nic. – Karolína Vyskočilová
* ⚖️ Seriál Silicon Valley byl více o právu než o techu.
Nevěříš? – Karel Navrátil & Jakub Gregorec
* 🎲 Risk{f}uj!
**Nowwwinky od Tomáše Kouta** 📰
Co je nového ve světě frontendu? Tomáš pro vás jako vždy vybral to nejzajímavější, co se od posledního srazu událo.
**AI tě naučí všechno. Nebo nic. 🤖 – Karolína Vyskočilová**
Studie od Anthropicu ukazuje, že lidi, co AI slepě poslouchají, rozumí vlastní práci míň než ti, co ji nepoužívají vůbec. Naopak ti, co se zeptat umí, mohou růst rychleji. Kde je hranice mezi „AI mi pomáhá růst" a „AI za mě přemýšlí"? Podíváme se, jak k tomu přistupuju já a budu ráda, když nasdílíte, jak to máte vy.
Karolína Vyskočilová – nezávislá vývojářka a konzultantka (kybernaut.cz). Lingvistka, co víc než 15 let programuje weby a aplikace, a teď sleduje, jak se s AI všechno točí kolem jazyka.
**Seriál Silicon Valley byl více o právu než o techu. Nevěříš? ⚖️ – Karel Navrátil & Jakub Gregorec**
Seriál Silicon Valley není prorokem jen v tech světě, ale i v právu. Na první dobrou jsme to neviděli. Proto jsme se po letech na něj podívali znovu, tentokrát se zkušenostmi právníka i znalostí startup světa. A bylo tam opravdu všechno.
Žádná přednáška vám nedokáže vysvětlit realitu práva jako tento seriál. Tvůrci mezi řádky schovali právní rady k nezaplacení. My vám ty nejlepší ukážeme pohledem právníka. Pozor! Některé postavy po přednášce už nikdy neuvidíte jako dřív.
**„Risk{f}uj!"** 🎲
Čeká nás další kolo oblíbené vědomostní soutěže na frontendová témata. Sestavte si tým, vyberte si kategorii a bodovou hodnotu a zkuste odpovědět správně dřív než ostatní.
Těšíme se na vás v pivovaru! 🍻✨

AI pro vývojáře: lokální běh, evaulace a monitoring LLM aplikací
(Pozor, změna místa konání → Vlkova 628/36, Praha 3)
Rozdíl mezi „zkusil jsem ChatGPT“ a **smysluplným využíváním AI ve vývoji** je obrovský.
Na tomhle Qeetupu se podíváme na to, jak s AI pracovat **systematicky**:
* jak AI testovat, ladit a dlouhodobě zlepšovat,
* jak mít přehled o tom, co model dělá a proč,
* jak AI zapojit do reálných workflow, ne jen jako chytrý autocomplete,
* a co se změní ve chvíli, kdy nechceš nebo nemůžeš spoléhat jen na cloud a začneš řešit **lokální modely.**
Žádné základy. Žádné „co je to LLM“.
Tohle je **meetup pro vývojáře**.
**Testování, evaluace a monitoring LLM agentů**
LLM agenti dokážou řešit komplexní úlohy, ale bez správných nástrojů je těžké jim skutečně důvěřovat. Přednáška představí LangSmith jako platformu pro zajištění kvality, spolehlivosti a transparentnosti LLM agentů. Ukážeme si, jak pomocí testování, evaluací a observability zkrátit vývojový cyklus a bezpečně nasazovat AI aplikace do produkce.
**Nebojme se malých modelů!**
SLM: mýty, realita a praxe, aneb nebojme se malých (lokálních) modelů, kdy dává smysl provozovat SLM, jaké mají reálné limity a výhody oproti cloudovým LLM a jaké use-casy už dnes fungují v praxi. No BS, s konkrétními zkušenostmi a doporučeními.
**Kdo bude mluvit?**

🎤 **[Daniel Čupak](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-cupak-prague/)** – Head of data, [Qest technologies](https://www.linkedin.com/company/qest-technologies/posts/?feedView=all)
**Pro koho meetup je?**
* Pro devy, kteří už AI používají a naráží na její limity.
* Pro lidi, co chtějí jít za hranici promptů a „one-shot odpovědí“.
* Pro týmy, které řeší, jak AI používat dlouhodobě, opakovaně a kontrolovaně.
* Pro každého, koho zajímá, **kdy dává smysl lokální LLM a kdy ne.**

Taking Back Control in Atlassian
Control & Clarity in Atlassian
Platform direction, admin sanity, and real-world planning
Atlassian is evolving fast — new platform concepts, new ways of organizing work, and increasing complexity for admins and teams. At the same time, many organizations are struggling with very practical questions:
How do we stay in control? How do we keep things tidy and manageable? And how do we plan realistically as teams and environments grow?
At this Atlassian Community Event in Prague, we’ll bring together Atlassian insights, partner experience, and real customer examples to explore how teams are navigating change — and what actually works in practice.
🎤 Agenda & Speakers
Service Collection: Platform Direction & What’s Coming Next
Darryl LeeSolutions Engineer, Atlassian
Darryl will give a high-level introduction to Service Collection — what it is, why Atlassian is investing in it, and what it means for existing customers.
The session will also include a look at the roadmap and upcoming changes, helping attendees better understand where the Atlassian platform is heading and how to prepare for it.
Atlassian Cloud and the Loss of Control
Ed LetifovTechTime Initiative Group Limited
Sometimes it feels like too much is happening in Atlassian — too fast, with too little visibility. User identities, access, and numbers stop making sense, and admins are left feeling overwhelmed.
In this talk, Ed will share real approaches implemented by TechTime’s customers to organize user identities in Atlassian Cloud, reduce chaos, make data consistent, and ultimately lower admin stress. A practical session focused on regaining control and clarity.
When Estimation Breaks: Collaborative Planning in Jira at Scale
Maria MelnikCTO, Teamlead
Jira’s estimation model assumes one person owns one issue. In real teams, work is collaborative — and that’s where estimation starts to fall apart.
Subtasks, custom fields, and manual roll-ups can help, but they often create noise, overhead, and unreliable data for admins.
This session explores how teams handle collaborative estimation in Jira today, where native approaches hit their limits, and what practical patterns partners use to restore clarity. A real-world discussion focused on reducing admin effort and making planning data usable again.
Understanding Team Capacity in Jira: Native Features vs. Real-World Usage
Ostap ZaishlyiSenior Product Manager, Reliex
Jira offers multiple native ways to view workload and capacity — boards, calendars, and Jira Plans — but how well do these tools work as complexity grows?
Using a real customer example, this session explores:
What Jira’s native features can (and can’t) tell you
Where teams typically hit limitations
How add-ons like ActivityTimeline are used to complement Jira and gain clearer visibility into workloads, availability, and constraints — enabling better planning decisions in real-life scenarios
🤝 Networking & Catering
As always, the event will conclude with networking, food, and drinks — a great opportunity to:
Connect with fellow Atlassian users, admins, and partners
Ask follow-up questions to the speakers
Share experiences and challenges in an informal setting
Whether you’re an admin, a team lead, or simply curious about where Atlassian is heading, this event is designed to give you clarity, perspective, and practical takeaways.
We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence
**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence**
What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice?
In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst.
Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process.
This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices.
**Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti**
Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design.
Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast.
After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills.
In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development.
Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
