Google Cloud Budapest Meetup is back! Join us on June 17th at the Aliz office in Budapest for an evening of deep-tech insights, practical engineering strategies, and networking with fellow Google Cloud and AI enthusiasts. As AI tools reshape the development landscape, the definition of a "good engineer" is shifting. This meetup isn't about generic AI prompts - it's about the concrete skills and old-school engineering discipline required to build reliable, scalable, AI-native applications. 🎫 The event is free, but seats are limited. **Save yours now! 👇** ⌛ Register here: [https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026](https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026) ================= **Talk 1** **Becoming a Context Engineering Professional in Your Domain** by Tamás Imets (AI Solution Architect), Aliz The most underrated skill in the AI era: context engineering. How to structure prompts, design context windows, and become a force multiplier in your technical domain. Practical patterns from the field that turn good engineers into AI-native practitioners. **Talk 2** **The Revenge of the Fundamentals: old-school ideas winning in the AI era** by Máté Czékus (Lead Architect) and Aamna Tayyab (Head of Delivery), Adroit Group The core argument: LLMs accelerate code generation are non-deterministic and inconsistent by default, which makes foundational engineering practices and tooling more important then ever. Teams that skipped the fundamentals, or was still hand rolling checks when AI arrived are paying for it at integration boundaries — it'll be way more harder to guide agent to write compliant and consistent code, and even harder to review the huge amount that was generated. Three fundamental tools doing more work than they get credit for: * JSON Schema — enforcing the contract between modules * TDD — writing the tests before the code * Linters and formatters — static governance that guides the shapeand correctness what the model sometimes misses even with context Máté brings a live demo: one real multi-cloud cost explorer example showing what AI tooling produces by default vs the disciplined version side by side. ================= 📣 Meet the speakers **Tamás Imets** An **AI Solution Architect** at **Aliz** who has been tinkering with tech since age 13 - moving from taking apart toys for robots to founding an AI startup where he led product and engineering. When he’s not building AI-native systems, you’ll find him backpacking through East Asian megacities, playing squash, or experimenting with new musical instruments. **Máté Czékus** He is a **software engineer** at **Adroit Group** who spends his days planning, testing, and refactoring systems while exploring the latest technologies. A passionate specialty coffee enthusiast and functional programming nerd, he believes that if you can build something, you should also be able to deploy and maintain it. **Aamna Tayyab** As **Head of Delivery** at **Adroit Group**, Aamna works at the intersection of product and engineering analyzing requirements, shaping architecture, and turning ambiguous ideas into work teams can actually deliver. Alongside her job, she co-organizes GDG Budapest and stays active in the Google developer community. ================= ☁️ Exclusive Google Cloud meetup in Budapest. 🍕 Cool presentations from experts and a networking opportunity - drink and snacks are on us. 🏎️ Free guarded parking. 🐶 Dog-friendly venue. ⌚️ Arrival from 18:30, presentation starts at 19:00. 🎫 Free, limited seats event, ensure yours by registering: https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026

==DATE CHANGED== May 27th's event is re-scheduled --> to Jun 17. This month's meetup discusses 3 papers from the ICLR 2026 conference held in April. This won't be as much of a deep dive into one paper, but I'd like to give an overview / some intuition on latest modeling approaches in cell modeling & AI in biology. 1 - [scDFM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07103) \- a **flow matching** model predicting cell transitions in the transcriptomics space as a result of applying perturbations 2 - [TxFM](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=NqZqClqtTK) - **a masked autoencoder style foundation model** trained on a well-curated transcriptomics dataset. Authors demonstrate: how important data quality is in biological models, outweighing sheer scale. 3 - [VCWorld](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.00306) \- a **world model** approach for virtual cell simulation. A **white-box, cell simulator** approach that **combines structured biological knowledge with LLMs** === ENTRY DETAILS === \- QR code with entry information is available in the "Photos" section of this event page\. \- Gate closes at 18:15 \- no late entries\.

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
