Közérthető fogalmazás - workshop
The language of this workshop is Hungarian.
A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye.
**Előadás:**
A közérthető fogalmazásról (plain language) lesz szó.
* mit jelent a közérthető fogalmazás, miben különbözik pl. a könnyen érthető kommunikációtól
* a közérthető fogalmazás alapjai
* hogyan függ össze az akadálymentesítéssel
**Workshop:**
Megnézünk együtt egy-két weboldalt, emailt vagy appot ezen a szemüvegen keresztül, hogy hogyan lehetne őket javítani.
Ehhez kérlek, **küldjetek június 24-ig javaslatokat.**
* Konkrét oldalt küldjetek, ne teljes honlapokat.
* Szöveges tartalomból (pl. email) pedig viszonylag rövideket (tehát ne egy ÁSZF-et).

Budapest Coworking Cafe - Special Edition. 2PM Hungary time!
Hi everyone! I’m Fede, founder of **BA Coworking Cafe**—a professional networking and co-working community based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the past two years, we’ve hosted more than 30 events, bringing together remote workers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
I’ll be traveling through Europe this summer and will be spending some time here in Budapest. I’d love to host a casual networking meetup while I'm in town!
The idea is simple: meet up at a local cafe, grab some coffee, do a bit of co-working, and connect with fellow professionals—whether you're a local, an expat, or a digital nomad. And who knows? If the vibe is right, it could be the perfect spark to kick off a Budapest branch of our community!
Looking forward to connecting and meeting you all soon! ☕🚀
Board Games with BFG Chat at Vault 51
Come meet people and play new board games with the international members of the BFG Whatsapp group! [Link to join the chat is here](https://chat.whatsapp.com/ICAamEEv2GCAMKM977k0Wm). We’ll reserve a few tables at Vault 51 and then play games in smaller groups throughout the evening.
**Note:** *Vault 51 requires that you pay a 600 Ft table fee per person at the bar.*
Feel free to bring games you want to play or play something from the bar’s collection.
Hot food and snacks are available from the bar until about 10pm
Spots for this event are limited to not go too far over our table reservation, so please change your RSVP if you are not able to attend, also if you are on the waitlist, please wait to be in the "going" before attending! Also everyone can bring 1 guest only. Don't bring more, we wont have enough seats! Thanks you!

Identity game evening - self-improvement & learning about each other
Get to know others and discover, reinforce & improve yourself through this psychological community game!
**"Identity**" is a psychological self-improvement game that lets participants have a glimpse into themselves and each other from different aspects of life and providing opportunity to share relevant experiences and thoughts. You'll get a random simple task with every card you draw such as:
**"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.**" -> How could you use this insight? What does it say to you? How does it bring you forward?
"**When did you last have me-time?** What did you do? What things do you usually do for your own joy?"
"**Every ending opens up a new gate.**" -> Recall at least 2 painful stations in your life when something important for you ended! What good things could begin thanks to these endings?
Substantial short talks in a friendly, respectful, non-judgemental (really: judgements, *even advices* are forbidden by the rules!) environment, while comfortably having a drink. Let others surprise you positively, learn about them, reflect on yourself internally and improve your personal life thanks to select short tasks that aim to bring you forward!
**The game will be held in english!**
The game only exists in hungarian version, so for instant translation of the cards, **Google Lens is recommended on your phone**!
The event will be held in the underground part of Élesztő (turn right just after entering the garden)!

F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in **Budapest!**
✨ **WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Budapest every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you.
✨ **HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Keely, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly.

**✨ WHAT THEY SAY**
“This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.”
*\- Sonya*
“F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from *"Where are you from?"* to *"When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?"* and I think **that's beautiful.**”
\- Monika
"It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other."

**✨ FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!)

Open Dharma Budapest - Free Meditation in a Teahouse
Open Dharma Budapest is a friendly meditation sangha for anyone interested in meditation. Every Sunday we gather for 1–1.5 hours at a local tea house to sit together, share, and support each other on the path.
What to expect: Each session begins with a 20-minute silent sit, followed by an open, voluntary sharing of our experiences — a space to process what arises in practice, together.
Attention: This is not a guided meditation class. We explore a range of techniques rooted in Theravāda Buddhism, with a modern and pragmatic approach - open to both seasoned practitioners and complete beginners.
Your host: Sessions are hosted by Maria East, a long-term practitioner of Theravāda, Vajrayāna, and Dzogchen, with over 10 silent retreats over the last 5 years. Maria is also a clinical psychologist in training, who is happy to offer additional support if practice brings up anything challenging.
You're welcome to enjoy a cup of tea before the session ([Menu](https://okuma.space/menu/)). Please [book here ](https://okuma.resos.com)and come earlier if you wish so.
PLEASE RSVP HERE to receive further instructions on how to get in.

CBusData - Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025
Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025
With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session!
Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.
Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

AI in Application Security Panel Discussion
**AI in Application Security Panel Discussion**
(note - this will replace the June meeting)
Join the OWASP St. Louis Chapter on July 7th for an open panel discussion on how AI is reshaping application security. From AI-assisted code review and automated vulnerability discovery to the new attack surfaces introduced by LLMs and AI agents, this is a conversation that touches everyone in the industry—whether you're a developer, security practitioner, or just trying to keep up with the pace of change.
Our panelists will explore the practical and the provocative: Where does AI genuinely help defenders? Where does it create new risk? How are real teams adopting these tools, and what's hype versus reality?
This session is built around *your* participation. Come with your questions, your war stories, and your ideas. The best part of these discussions is what the room brings, so don't be shy—bring your curiosity and let's dig in together.
**What to Expect**
* Introductions and Updates on chapter events and engagement ideas
* Panel Discussion
(\* OWASP does not endorse or recommend commercial products or services, allowing our community to remain vendor neutral with the collective wisdom of the best minds in software security)
**Event Details**
📍 **Location:** RubinBrown, 7676 Forsyth Blvd., Suite 2100, Saint Louis, MO 63105
🗓 **Date/Time:** July 7th, 2026 / 6:00pm CST
**Who Should Attend**
* Software engineers and developers
* Application & security professionals
* IT leaders and managers
* Anyone with an interest in application security topics
**About OWASP**
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to improving the security of software. Local chapters provide opportunities to learn, network, and collaborate with others in the field.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
