A digital psychology perspective on what teams, organizations, and societies need in order to think together, and stay human, in an increasingly technological world. Join us for this exciting lecture and be part of an interesting discussion . Happy to welcome you in our first Meetup in 2026! **Eliot** is a Digital Psychologist and the founder of BRAND**KARMA**, a company that leverages emotional intelligence to enhance business performance. As an expert in innovation, implementing new technologies and artificial intelligence in a human-centric way, he offers consulting services based on psychology and empathetic communication.

Things to know before playing: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; We play Tuesday Night Football (outdoor only) .

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.

We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.

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).

Ausschreibungen sind ein zentraler und oft unterschätzter Bestandteil professioneller Requirements-Arbeit. Ausschreibungen verbinden fachliche Anforderungen, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und wirtschaftliche Interessen. Und entscheiden nicht selten über den Erfolg ganzer Projekte. In diesem Meetup beleuchten wir Ausschreibungen aus **drei komplementären Perspektiven**: 👉 aus Sicht des Auftraggebers, 👉 des Bieters und 👉 des Software-Herstellers, der beide Welten zusammenbringen will. 🔹 **Speaker 1** – Simon Gemel (Business Analyst) gibt Einblicke aus erster Hand in die Erstellung und Begleitung einer Ausschreibung für das Parlament: Wie entstehen Anforderungen in diesem Kontext? Welche Herausforderungen gibt es auf Auftraggeberseite und was macht eine gute Ausschreibung wirklich aus? 🔹 **Speaker 2** – Armin Fürst ([TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)) bringt die Perspektive eines Unternehmens ein, das regelmäßig an Ausschreibungen mit dem klaren Ziel teilnimmt, diese zu gewinnen: Worauf achten Bieter? Wo gehen Anforderungen oft verloren? Und wie unterscheiden sich „formal korrekt“ und „inhaltlich überzeugend“? 🔹 **Speaker 3** – Gerhard Hipfinger ([openFORCE](https://openforce.com/)) stellt eine Software-Lösung vor, die genau an dieser Schnittstelle ansetzt: Wie kann intelligentes Matchmaking zwischen Anforderungen und Angeboten Auftraggeber und Anbieter gleichermaßen unterstützen und Reibungsverluste reduzieren? 👉 Das Meetup richtet sich an **Business Analysten, Requirements Engineers, Product Owner, Architekten, Auftraggeber, Juristen und alle**, die Anforderungen formulieren, bewerten oder in Ausschreibungen damit arbeiten. Freut euch auf **Praxisberichte, unterschiedliche Blickwinkel und konkrete Learnings** und für Diskussion und Austausch mit der BA-Community. 🕑 **Agenda** 👉 Einlass ab 17:30 👉 Start der Vorträge um 18:00 🙌 **Über unseren Sponsor…** Der Veranstaltungsort wird von **[TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)** gesponsert. Essen & Getränke gesponsert vom **[IIBA Austria Chapter](https://austria.iiba.org/).** 🍻 **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich! Wir freuen uns auf eine rege Diskussion!

Hi! After the first introductory event, I am looking forward to start reading "**Think and Grow Rich"** by Napoleon Hill, one of the most famous books about money. And also one of the most misunderstood. Most people read it. Nod. Feel inspired. Then go back to the same life. Not because the book is weak — but because they read it alone. At our meetup, we do the opposite. We question the ideas. Challenge the assumptions. Test what actually works in real life. If you’re tired of being *“inspired in private”* and unchanged in reality, this conversation is for you. **Meeting agenda:** * **Goals are cheap.** Only the ones that restructure your calendar deserve to be taken seriously. * **Napoleon Hill assumes belief precedes action.** What if belief is mostly a side effect of doing uncomfortable things first? * **Opportunity is abundant.** Indecision is socially acceptable cowardice. Agree or disagree? You can find a good summary of the book here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEvK7OPSYZo

Join us for a nurturing and empowering in-person afternoon at **commonroom** for a form of networking going deeper. A local expression of our global **[Women Lead Community](https://women-lead-community.mn.co/),** each month we create a space for women to slow down, connect with themselves and others, and explore a new form of leadership grounded in **presence, purpose, and mutual support**. After a joint arrival, we take the time to reflect on our needs as well as what we each have to offer to the world. We have the opportunity to practice pitching our offers and needs in a safe space and connecting with other inspiring women who are eager to support each others growth. Just come as you are – curious, present, and open. No need to prepare anything. Bring a friend or meet new ones. Have something to write with you for the reflection and bring business cards and flyers of your offers, if you have any. The sessions are held in **English**. They are open to women of all backgrounds who are curious about co-creating a more conscious, caring, and connected world.

**Written in the Stars: A Valentine’s 2026 Unique Connection** 2026 is off to an electric start! With the stars realigning in ways we haven’t seen in decades, there’s a massive "cosmic pulse" calling us to rethink how we perceive and express love, how we relate, how we open our hearts. Whether you're celebrating a partnership or honoring your own journey, this Valentine's edition is designed to help you navigate the language of the heart. Why Astrology for the Heart? Astrology is more than just "Who am I compatible with?" It’s a symbolic map 🌌 that reveals our deepest needs for intimacy, security, and joy. By understanding your birth chart, you’re not just looking at a map of the sky—you’re looking at a map of your own capacity to love and be loved. 💫 What Makes This Special: Forget the clichés. This isn't a speed-dating night or a lecture on why you should avoid Aries. Instead, expect a **fun, soul-centered guided experience** that blends astrological insight with creative journaling ✍️ and heart-opening meditation 🧘. You’ll have the chance to: * **Decode your "Love Language"** through your Venus and Moon placements. * **Explore 2026’s rare alignments** and what they mean for your relationships. The flow of the evening: Every session is a journey, and for this special Valentine’s edition, we’re focusing on the **Magic of Affinity**. * 🌙 **The Gathering:** We’ll open with a warm introduction, setting our intentions for the heart-space we’re creating together. * ⭐ **The Exploration:** Guided exercises in small groups to help you "read" the romantic and social potential in your own chart. * 💬 **The Reflection:** We’ll wrap up with an open discussion on the 2026 shifts and a Q&A to demystify any burning astrological questions. Who should attend: Whether you’re a complete beginner 🌱 or a seasoned stargazer, you are welcome here. This is a space for everyone—singles, couples, and "it’s complicateds" alike. PS: A contribution of €10 per person will be collected to cover the organization, energy and cookies. Additional donations are most welcome. > **Pro-Tip:** Please have your birth chart ready! If you don't have one, I recommend generating a free one at **astro.com** before we begin.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

# **Band: Old Possum's Menagerie; Caller: Richard Ades** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
