Creative Writing Budapest
**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065**
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.

Enabling Every Function with AI, and Shipping at AI Speed
For our May meetup, the Protex AI Budapest community is inaugurating our new office, and we're hosting two deep-dive talks from the Protex AI team: one on enabling every function in your company with AI, and one on shipping enterprise-grade products at AI speed.
**Shipping an Enterprise-Grade Mobile App in 12 Weeks: Pitch, Plan, Build, Legal, App Stores**
Erzsébet Somogyi, Engineering Manager, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/)
Erzsébet is an Engineering Manager at Protex AI. She joined from Google, where she was part of the Assistant team (serving over 1B daily active users), and previously served as CTO at SimpledCard and Director of Video Platform at Canal Digital AS.
Erzsó will share how a team of three pitched, planned, built, cleared legal, and shipped an enterprise-grade mobile app to both the App Store and Play Store in 12 weeks. Protex AI's products are trusted by enterprises like DHL, P&G, Toyota, GM, and Coca-Cola, and you'll leave with hard-earned lessons on how to move fast without breaking the things that matter.
**How to Get Your Company AI Pilled**
David Souza, Director of AI & Engineering, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/)
David will share how Protex AI got everyone in the company building with AI, not just Engineering, but Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, Product, Security, and Client teams. Expect a practical playbook for taking a company AI-native: what worked, what didn't, and the concrete patterns you can copy.
The Protex AI Budapest community brings together builders, researchers, and curious minds to explore how AI is being applied in real-world systems, right here in Budapest.
Whether you're rolling out AI across your company or shipping your next product at speed, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately.
🍕 Pizza, drinks, and good conversation provided.
🇬🇧 This session will be in English.

New Rules for Your Business: What's Coming For Entrepreneurs
**The 2026 elections are over.** The dust is settling. And 2027’s new "EU Inc." company model is staring us down.
When big structural changes happen, it is completely normal to put them on the back burner. You have a business to run.
But the upcoming shifts in Hungary and the EU might actually change how you operate. We are heading to KLUSTER to figure out exactly how this affects us, without the panic or the guesswork.
We are splitting the night in two.
First, Bence Gajdácsi (CEO of Gajdácsi Flakon Kft.) tackles the macro reality of Hungary's post-election landscape and the new EU Inc. He will break down what these legal shifts mean for your business structure so you can adapt before the rest of the market even catches on.
Second, Nándor Fehér (Content Marketing Specialist) reveals the steps of building a predictable client acquisition machine with no technical skills. Even if you genuinely hate marketing, you will leave knowing how to spot the psychological hooks others and your competitors use.
**The Agenda & What You'll Learn**
* **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect.
* **18:10 – 18:15:** Event Kickoff.
* **18:15 – 18:35: Hungary's shift & a new EU structure**
* Bence breaks down two major shifts: Hungary’s new reality under a new government, and an early peek at the 2027 EU Inc. This new European company structure aims to cut bureaucracy and accelerate cross-border growth. You get an honest look at how to position your business for both.
* **18:35 – 18:55: Automating Client Acquisition**
* Imagine a vending machine that turns a €1 coin into a €2 coin. How many times would you use it? Nándor will show you how to build that exact machine. In marketing and sales, this is called a 'funnel', a simple sequence of steps that naturally guides a complete stranger to buying your offer. You will learn to spot competitor patterns and walk away with a clear idea of which exact system actually makes sense for your own business.
* **18:55 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks.
* **20:00 onwards:** We head to a nearby bar as usual.
**Location**
We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space.
**Who Is This For?**
This series of presentations is for freelancers, founders, and open-minded people in Budapest. As you might know, the presentations are really just an excuse to get us all in the same room. Join real conversations with a real community of curious people who are navigating the exact same challenges you are.
**The Legal Bit**
As usual, we’ll be taking photos and videos throughout the night. By showing up, you consent to being in them.
Thanks for reading, see you on the 29th (of May)!

Mit kezdjünk a rádióhullámokkal? (Nem wifihackelés lesz)
A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is.
Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába.
Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával.
Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez.
Az előadásra hozunk egy csomó RF-fel működő kütyüt, ha van otthon elfekvőben régi kocsikulcs, távnyitó, elemes távirányítható játék, Flipper Zero vagy hasonló, hozd el és nézzük meg, mit tudunk kezdeni velük.
Virtual Cells at ICLR'26 Conference
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**

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited
**About the host**
Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method. She runs Visibility is Profitability, the membership where local business owners build the system that keeps their phone ringing. Learn more at learnlocalmarketing.com.

How to Get Off-Market Deals With Direct-to-Seller Marketing
**How to Get Off-Market Deals With Direct-to-Seller Marketing**
Want to learn how to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing without relying on agents, wholesalers, or the MLS for consistent deal flow?
That is exactly what we are covering at this next Columbus Investors Club Meetup.
Get Your Free Ticket **[HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)🎟️
Most investors who try to do off-market deals make the same mistake: they throw money into a marketing channel, pray that it works, and hope a deal comes out the other side. There is no real strategy, no clear math, no tracking, and no process to know what is actually working.
At this meetup, we are going to break down how to reverse engineer direct-to-seller marketing using our SCALE framework so you can approach your marketing with more clarity, confidence, and consistency.
We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward.
**SCALE Framework:**
**S –** Select the right channel
**C –** Calculate the numbers
**A –** Allocate the budget
**L –** Launch the campaign
**E –** Evaluate and track it
**What We’ll Cover**
* How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing
* How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing
* The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels
* How to choose the right channel for your business and market
* How to calculate the numbers before launching
* How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion
* How to launch and track a campaign the right way
* How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow
**Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday)
