Knowledge Sharing

**About this event:** Join us on 26 March in Vienna for an evening where we'll explore how leaders actually develop capability - not in classrooms, but inside work itself. **Agenda:** **16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles** **16:30 – The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development** * Why traditional leadership development isn't transferring to practice * What leaders actually need in 2026 (and it's not just another model) * What workflow embedded skills development actually looks like - real examples from teams we've worked with **17:30 – Interactive Workshop: Building the Leadership Skills Your Organisation Needs** * Learn about ways to build people skils hands-on * Work through a real leadership challenge with peers * Leave with practical next steps for your context **19:30 – Networking** * Wine, food (gluten-free and vegan options available) * Connect with people facing similar challenges **16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles** **Why this matters** Leadership development is broken. Organisations invest heavily, leaders attend programmes, certificates get handed out - and then nothing changes. The problem isn't lack of frameworks. It's the gap between learning and doing. In the coming years, leadership development must shift from event-based training to workflow-embedded practice. At Kokoro, we've spent years answering one question: how do you empower leaders to create the conditions for sustained performance, genuine motivation, and teams that thrive? At this event, we bring leaders, teams, L&D professionals, and organisations who are committed to making that shift. Together, we will develop steps to make it real. **Who is this for** You're leading a team, department, or organisation. You're in L&D and see that traditional programmes aren't transferring to practice. You run an SME and need practical ways to develop leaders without the corporate overhead. You've sent people to leadership programmes and watched them return motivated, and then not being able to transfer the skills in to work. You know the theory-practice gap is real. You want skills development that builds into daily workflows, not outside them. **Event Details** 📆 Thursday, 26 March 2026 ⏰ 16:30–19:30 (Arrive from 16:00) **📍**Olinda Bar, Schönbrunner Str. 23, 1050 Vienna 🪑: 40 seats (limited) 🗣️: English and German 💲: Free **Register** Secure your place now by registering as spaces are limited. Questions? Reach out to Imran @ imran@bekokoro.com We ask you to register only if you can really make it. Thanks. **About Kokoro** Kokoro was founded in 2018 because we believed the way performance is measured and optimised is broken. We work with leaders and teams to build resilient, high-performing cultures where people can learn, grow, and thrive - even amid complexity and change. We do this through our team and leadership development software and services like one-on-one coaching, team development, organisational consulting that help leaders turn intention into habit. Our approach draws on evidence from flow theory, motivation science, neurobiology, and real-world practice with teams across various industries and sizes. Visit [bekokoro.com](https://www.bekokoro.com/) to learn more. **Join the Kokoro community** This is our first of 4 gatherings in 2026 - a chance to (re)connect with people making real change happen, and to introduce you to what we're building. If the culture and performance challenges you face resonate, we'd love to work with you. Looking forward to seeing you on 26 March. #Leadership #TeamDevelopment #SkillsThatMatter #LearningAndDevelopment #FutureOfWork #Vienna

**\*\* DEUTSCHE BESCHREIBUNG UNTEN \*\*** Lesbians and bowling go hand-in-hand like... well, like two lesbians would. The dapper shoes, the strong arms, the confident stance: it's what we want in life. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an absolute beginner, the Lesbian Bowling Club welcomes all sapphic humans over the age of 30. This is a trans and non-binary friendly club. Join us one Thursday every month for a bowling session to play and enjoy lesbian company. It's not about winning - it's about having fun in a safer space with zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, biphobia, body-shaming, ageism, or other forms of discrimination. The club welcomes all German and English speakers - we'll adjust what language we use depending on who's here. :) **WHERE & WHEN?** The bowling will take place at Alt-Erlaa Bowling (U6 Alt-Erlaa). We meet at 19:00 outside & start bowling at around 19:30. **COSTS:** Expected costs for the bowling lane will be between 8-12 EUR per person (depending on how many people show up for the evening). We'll start by booking one lane (for 8 people max) for 2 hours and see if we need to extend or expand over time. Let's see! **\*\* ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ABOVE \*\*** Lesben und Bowling gehen Hand-in-Hand wie... naja, zwei Lesben es tun würden. Die schicken Schuhe, die starken Arme, die selbstbewusste Haltung: alles, was wir im Leben brauchen. Egal, ob du erfahrene Spielerin bist oder zum ersten Mal bowlst, der Lesbian Bowling Club heißt alle sapphischen Menschen über 30 willkommen. Der Club ist trans- und nicht-binär-freundlich. Komm einen Donnerstag im Monat mit uns Bowlen um in lesbischer Gesellschaft zu spielen. Es geht nicht ums Gewinnen, sondern viel mehr darum, Spaß zu haben in einem sicheren Umfeld, in dem Rassismus, Transphobie, Biphobie, Bodyshaming, Altersdiskriminierung oder andere Formen der Diskriminierung keinen Platz haben. Der Club ist für alle, die Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. Wir werden die gesprochene Sprache anpassen, je nachdem wer da ist. :) **WANN & WO?** Der Treffpunkt ist Alt-Erlaa Bowling (U6 Alt-Erlaa). Wir treffen uns um 19:00 davor und starten mit dem Bowling gegen 19:30. **KOSTEN:** Die Kosten für die Bowlingbahn wird auf 8-12 EUR pro Person geschätzt (je nachdem zu wievielt wir an dem jeweiligen Abend spielen). Wir starten mit einer reservierten Bahn (max. 8 Leute) für 2 Stunden und wenn wir mehr brauchen, werden wir die Reservierungen in Zukunft anpassen. Wir werden sehen!

Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf * **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government * **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties. Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload. Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability. A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing. An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski * **Title**: What is A(I) platform? * **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms. On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components. Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

Table booked in my name, ask at the bar if you’re unsure.

In diesem Vortrag wird dargelegt, wie der Schlüssel die Tür zur tiefsten spirituellen Erfahrung von Licht und Klang im Inneren öffnet. Diese Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. Vortragende: Edith Kaplan

LINK: [AiTinkerers Vienna](https://vienna.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkerers-vienna-strabag) ## Vienna Builders 🛠️ AI Tinkerers Vienna returns for its second session of 2026 on March 26th. We are gathering at STRABAG for an evening dedicated to the practitioners building at the intersection of foundation models and the physical world. This is a curated, technical environment for those actively shipping code. We prioritize implementation details, architecture trade-offs, and working systems over high-level presentations. Registration is open now via the form above. ### 🎤 Call for Demos: Show Your Stack We are looking for builders to share technical demonstrations. This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this interesting thing?” not “Why should someone use this product?” **Demo Requirements:** * **No Slides:** Run live code, walk through architecture diagrams, or zoom into workflow graphs. * **Technical Depth:** Share your prompt engineering strategies, agentic workflows, or orchestration layers. * **Imperfection Welcome:** We value raw, early-stage experiments and the lessons learned from what broke.

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

In March, we'll be joined by **[Marc Busch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-busch/)** for a very special session. Marc is not only a very experienced UX researcher and lecturer for quantitative and qualitative research methods at various universities, he is also the auther of ***UX Research - Building Blocks for Impact in the Age of AI***. He'll tell us a bit more about how and why he wrote this book and he'll answer your UX research questions - and there will be a few copies of the book for you in exchange for feedback 🤩. Join us for a fun and insightful evening and **bring all the research questions** you never dared to ask! **Agenda** 🚀 We'll kick things off with a round of **introductions**. 📕 Quick intro about Marc's book, ***UX Research - Building Blocks for Impact in the Age of AI*** 🙋**Ask Marc anything!** 🍻 The **second half** of the evening is all about **networking and conversation** over drinks. Whether you're looking to learn and get inspired, connect with fellow UX professionals, or gain fresh perspectives, the UX Vienna Club is the perfect place to start. We look forward to seeing you! By participating, you agree that your likeness may be recorded and authorise UX Vienna to use any recording containing your likeness in any medium for any purpos

**THE LAST CEO** What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office? A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at. The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite? We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\. **Programme:** 🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab 💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas 🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist) 🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030. 🎉 **Afterparty & Networking** Date: March 27, 2026, 6:30 PM Location: Funkhaus Wien, Argentinierstraße Language: English **brought to you by** [FUNKHAUS WIEN](https://www.funkhaus.wien/) [Fachgruppe UBIT der WKW](https://unternehmensberatung-und-wir.wien/) [AI Austria ](https://www.aiaustria.com/) [chim.ai](www.chim.ai) Thanks to Ruben Hetfleisch, Patrick Schabus, Philipp Lammer and many more for contribution **Note:** We increased Max Registrations to 140.

That strategy works, until your own capacity becomes the ceiling. The next level of performance does not come from more hustle. It comes from a different operating system: Abundance. Abundance is not an affirmation (& this is not what we are doing here). It is a strategic mindset used by some of the most effective entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders. When you shift from scarcity to abundance, opportunities multiply, decisions become more aligned, relationships strengthen, pressure dissolves, and growth accelerates. At this LibaTea meetup we explore how high performers can transition from constant hustle to creating opportunity ecosystems. You will explore: Why many high achievers unconsiously operate from scarcity The mental models that unlock exponential opportunities How abundance thinking changes negotiations, leadership, and networking How generosity and strategic thinking create powerful ecosystems This meetup is for founders, creators, investors, executives, and ambitious professionals who want to expand their thinking and build a future with more leverage, more creativity, and more impact. **This is for you, if you are interested in:** • improving the quality of your life • making meaningful connections • personal development & wellbeing Entrepreneurs, creatives, founders, professionals, and curious minds are all welcome. **Reflection theme for this circle:** *Fulfillment & Wholeness* Questions we may explore: • What does fulfillment actually mean to you? • Where in life do you feel most aligned? • What would living more fully look like? You are always free to share as much or as little as you like. **Event flow:** Arrival & welcome Breath, tea orders Guided reflection rounds Closing integration Casual conversations if you would like to stay longer **About Libatea** Libatea is a community exploring liberation through reflection, conversation, and community. We host weekly tea circles and monthly masterminds that bring together thoughtful people interested in personal growth, wellbeing, and meaningful connection. **Join our WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GmcaSqxOKqrKBeQVkKK2AW?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GmcaSqxOKqrKBeQVkKK2AW?mode=gi_t) **Why tea?** Tea rituals have been used for centuries to create presence and connection. By slowing down and sharing tea together, we create a simple but powerful setting for connection, reflection and insight. If the 10 seats are full, send a message to the host Bella, you may still be able to join us! :)

His graphic novels—including *Storeyville*, *Pompeii*, and *Pittsburgh*—blend personal storytelling with innovative visual structure, often exploring memory, place, and relationships. In addition to his comics, Santoro has been an influential voice in comics education and criticism, co-founding the magazine *ComicsComics* and creating the **Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers**, which has helped train and inspire a new generation of cartoonists. Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
