Enjoy your time learning and practicing public speaking with Budapest Toastmasters! There is no need to speak or any previous experience in Public Speaking. --- 👉Keycode: 12, 3rd Floor. Please arrive by 6:20 PM, the meeting starts at 6:30 PM👉No registration or dress code is needed, the event is FREE.👉NOTE: We will have signs in the place so you can locate easily the Toastmasters Meeting room. --- Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

**This week's venue: ANT Collective \| Tisza u\. 11\. Budapest 1133** (the venue requires 1000 Ft/person) We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

Once checked in, take the opportunity to start connecting with fellow attendees and enjoy some casual networking before the event begins. * **5:30 PM - Roundtable Discussion : Expert Programs** Join us to hear the experiences of an ArchX, CTA and CMA about the expert programs, career projections and to answer the ultimate question. Is it worth it overall? During the event we will "bogracs" some kind of non-vegetarian food and drinks can be purchased at the venue. See you there! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🇭🇺 Júliusban valami nagyon különlegeset tervezünk! Itt az ideje egy újabb Hungarian ServiceNow Meetupnak, ezúttal a természet közepén! Meetup program: 17:00 – Érkezés és networking Kérünk, érkezz időben, hogy gördülékenyen tudjuk lebonyolítani a regisztrációt. Bejelentkezés után lesz lehetőség kötetlen beszélgetésre és ismerkedésre a résztvevőkkel, mielőtt elkezdődik a program. 17:30 – Kerekasztal beszélgetés: Expert programok Csatlakozz hozzánk, és hallgasd meg egy ArchX, egy CTA és egy CMA tapasztalatait az expert programokról, karrierlehetőségekről, és választ kapunk az örök kérdésre: megéri-e? Az esemény során bográcsban főzünk valamilyen nem vegetáriánus ételt, az italok a helyszínen térítés ellenében érhetők el. Ott tali!

The language of this event is 🇭🇺 Hungarian. Nyár van, kint a helyünk. Hozd a pokrócod, egy hideg italt és magadat - leülünk a fűbe, és ezúttal nem csak sörözünk (de azt is 🍻). Van egy téma, ami az utóbbi hónapokban újra meg újra előjön a folyosókon, a posztok alatt: **Megszervezzük végre magunkat szakmaként?** A hazai UX/design szakma tehetséges, és szétszórt. A tudás, a kapcsolat, a láthatóság ad hoc mozog - sokszor egy-egy ember jóindulatán múlik. Több helyen is forr most valami: ki összefogást akar, ki közszolgáltatás-designt, ki egyszerűen csak nem akar egyedül ülni a Figma előtt. Ezen az estén **közösen gondolkodunk hangosan**: kell-e nekünk közös szakmai tér, és ha igen, milyen? Nem előadás, nem panel. **Laza, facilitált beszélgetés a pokrócon**, mindenki hoz egy nézőpontot, és visz egy gondolatot. **Miről beszélgetünk** * Mi hiányzik most a leginkább a szakmából? (mentorálás, közösség, minőség, érdekképviselet…) * Mi az, ami már működik — és mit kár újra feltalálni? * Ha lenne egy közös, **átlátható** szakmai tér, mi tenné valóban hasznossá — és mi rontaná el? * Mi az az **első, nagyon kicsi dolog**, amit tényleg meg is csinálnánk? **Hogyan zajlik** * **18:00** gyülekező, pokróc-foglalás, ismerkedés * **18:30** rövid felvezetés + facilitált körök kis csoportokban * **19:15** közös összegzés: mit visz haza a szakma erről az estéről * **19:30** kötetlen beszélgetés, sör, naplemente 🌇 **Mit hozz** 🧺 pokrócot · 🥤 italt/harapnivalót magadnak 🧠 egy őszinte véleményt arról, mi hiányzik **Kinek szól** Designereknek, kutatóknak, vezetőknek, junioroknak, **bárkinek a szakmából** és a társterületekről\*\*.\*\* Nem kell felkészülni, nem kell „valakinek lenni". Aki kíváncsi a szakma jövőjére, annak itt a helye. **Akadálymentesség** A helyszín kerekesszékkel megközelíthető. Ha bármilyen igényed van, hogy jól érezd magad köztünk, írj nekünk előre - igyekszünk megoldani. ♿ **Gyere, ülj le a fűbe, és tedd hozzá a hangod.** Lehet, hogy pont ezen az estén indul el valami, amit évek óta hiányolunk. 🌱 🚀 **Fontos infó: Költözik a UX Budapest!** Gőzerővel készülünk az őszi átállásra, amikor is teljesen **elhagyjuk** a Meetup.com-ot, és minden eseményünket kizárólag a **Lumán** szervezzük majd. Ez a pokrócos találkozó már az új felületünkön is él! 👉 **Itt tudsz követni minket:** [https://luma.com/wdm4y3g2](https://luma.com/wdm4y3g2)

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
