CX Afterhours is a new, intimate gathering for customer experience practitioners in Vienna — no panels, no pitches, no name-tags doing the talking for you. Just CX people from across industries in one room, comparing how they tackle the same customer challenges from very different angles. For our first edition, we're joined by **Barbara Böck, Head of CX at Wüstenrot**, with a talk on: **"From Criticism to Competitive Advantage: How authentic customer insights and critical voices become a central lever for data-driven growth."** We measure experience more than ever and arguably understand it less. Barbara makes the case that the customer who complains is the one who still cares — and that the feedback nobody wants to hear can be your strongest, most honest growth signal, if you know what to do with it. After the talk: open conversation, drinks, and the kind of exchange that's hard to find when you're the only "CX person" on your team. Expect a small, deliberately cross-industry group — banking, insurance, retail, and beyond. Arrive b 6:30pm

Mixed indoor volleyball. We play intermediate and advanced levels in a friendly and respectful environment. We play for enjoyment. Please note that numbers are important, so if you cannot come, please cancel 48 hours in advance so others can join. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from future games and payment of any outstanding fees. Best regards.

Things to know before playing: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; We play Thursday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce **Vienna's first official** **Codex Community Build Meetup**, co-hosted with **Vienna AI Engineering** on Saturday, June 20! It's a full-day, hands-on event for learning to build with Codex (OpenAI's coding agent) and with AI agents in general. This isn't a lecture: bring your laptop, pick the track that fits your level, and spend the day building alongside mentors and Codex experts. Come with an idea or just show up ready to learn. The goal is to leave with something you made, a clearer sense of how AI agents fit into real software work, and new people in Vienna's builder community. Whether you're already using Codex or simply curious about coding agents, this is your chance to connect with peers and see how AI is transforming the way we build software. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ IMPORTANT: [Register on Luma](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0), not here! To avoid double-bookings, RSVPs on Meetup are limited to the Organizer Team only. The 170 spots are all on Luma, and that's the only place to sign up. 👉 Register here: [https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0) Check-in at the door uses the Luma guest list, so please make sure you're registered there. When you register, you'll pick the track that fits you best: 🟢 AI Beginner: a guided path from first setup to a small working project 🟡 AI Intermediate: practical Codex workflows for prototyping, testing, and shipping faster 🔴 AI Advanced: bring your own project and push a more ambitious build Each group has a suggested track and mentors on hand throughout the day. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Why Luma? Some of our partners, like OpenAI, use Luma to coordinate events worldwide, so we use it for branded events like this one.

Was wäre, wenn wir wichtige Fähigkeiten für den Alltag und den Beruf trainieren könnten, während wir einfach nur gemeinsam lachen und eine gute Zeit haben? Bei diesem Spieleabend nutzen wir die gesamte Bandbreite moderner Spiele als das, was sie im Kern sind: Ein absolut stressfreies Labor für soziale Kompetenz, strategisches Denken und echtes Miteinander. Ganz im Sinne von "Lernen zum Spaß" lassen wir die graue Theorie komplett weg und stürzen uns direkt ins gemeinsame Erleben! Wir haben für jeden Geschmack die passende spielerische Herausforderung dabei – und jede davon schult ganz bestimmte Fähigkeiten: * **Deduktionsspiele (Logik & Analytisches Denken):** Bei diesen Formaten geht es um messerscharfe Logik und das systematische Kombinieren von Fakten. Du lernst, verstreute Informationen strukturiert zu verknüpfen, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen und durch ein präzises Ausschlussverfahren Geheimnisse zu lüften. * **Worker-Placement-Spiele (Strategie & Ressourcenmanagement):** Hier lernst du, knappe Ressourcen optimal zu verwalten, langfristig zu planen und deine Strategie flexibel anzupassen, wenn ein Mitspieler dir einen wertvollen Platz wegschnappt. Das ist angewandtes Projektmanagement im Kleinformat! * **Social Deduction Games (Psychologie & Menschenkenntnis):** Hier stehen geheime Identitäten und das feine Spiel mit der Wahrheit im Vordergrund. Du schärfst deine Wahrnehmung, lernst zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen, Körpersprache zu deuten und deine eigene Überzeugungskraft beim Bluffen und Argumentieren gezielt einzusetzen. * **Kooperative Spiele (Teamwork & Empathie):** Bei diesen Team-Highlights gewinnen oder verlieren wir nur gemeinsam. Hier trainierst du Vertrauen, intensive Koordination untereinander und die Fähigkeit, dich vollkommen auf die Perspektive und Denkweise deiner Mitspieler einzustellen. ### Was wir an diesem Abend ganz nebenbei lernen: * **Kommunikation & Flexibilität:** Egal ob Kooperation oder Wettbewerb – wir schulen unsere Ausdrucksweise, die Wahrnehmung unseres Gegenübers und das gemeinsame Lösen komplexer Probleme. * **Resilienz & Emotionale Stärke:** Der spielerische Umgang mit kniffligen Situationen und Team-Herausforderungen trainiert unsere emotionale Intelligenz und Gelassenheit für das echte Leben. Bring super gerne auch deine eigenen Favoriten aus diesen Bereichen mit. Ob du neue Taktiken ausprobieren, deine Logik schärfen oder einfach nur tolle neue Menschen kennenlernen willst: Du bist hier genau richtig! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- What if we could train essential skills for everyday life and our careers while simply laughing together and having a great time? At this game night, we use the full spectrum of modern games for what they truly are at their core: an absolutely stress-free laboratory for social competence, strategic thinking, and genuine togetherness. In the spirit of "Learning for Fun," we skip the dry theory completely and dive straight into the shared experience! We have the perfect playful challenge for every taste – and each one trains very specific skills: * **Worker Placement Games (Strategy & Resource Management):** Here you learn to manage scarce resources optimally, plan long-term, and flexibly adapt your strategy when another player snatches a valuable spot from you. This is applied project management in miniature! * **Deduction Games (Logic & Analytical Thinking):** These formats are all about razor-sharp logic and systematically combining facts. You learn to connect scattered pieces of information in a structured way, ask the right questions, and uncover secrets through a precise process of elimination. * **Social Deduction Games (Psychology & Reading People):** Here, secret identities and the subtle game of truth take center stage. You sharpen your perception, learn to read between the lines, interpret body language, and purposefully use your own power of persuasion when bluffing and arguing. * **Cooperative Games (Teamwork & Empathy):** In these team highlights, we only win or lose together. Here you train trust, intense coordination with one another, and the ability to adapt completely to the perspective and mindset of your fellow players. ### What we learn along the way: * **Communication & Flexibility:** Whether cooperation or competition – we train our way of expression, the perception of our counterpart, and solving complex problems together. * **Resilience & Emotional Strength:** Dealing playfully with tricky situations and team challenges trains our emotional intelligence and composure for real life. Feel free to bring your own favorites from these categories. Whether you want to try out new tactics, sharpen your logic, or just meet great new people: you've come to the right place!

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
