**[UPDATE Feb 26]** We have some **incredibly good news** 🎉🥳 for you, but before we get to that (**read to the end!**), we must reiterate our call for lightning talks: 📢 **Call for Lightning Talks — We Want YOU on Stage!** **We need 6–7 more speakers** (we already have 3 confirmed) who want to share something cool they've built with OpenClaw or Codex in a **maximum of 7 minutes**. **What we're looking for:** * OpenClaw agents and automations you've built * Creative Codex workflows and coding setups * Combinations of OpenClaw + Codex (or other AI tools) * Lessons learned, fails, surprises — the real stuff * Anything that makes the audience go "wait, you can do THAT?" You don't need perfect slides or a rehearsed talk. Just show up with a demo, a workflow, a lesson learned or even a spectacular failure. 7 minutes, that's it. **How to submit:** Write us an email at **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)**. A few sentences about what you would present is enough. First come, first served. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🎉 Now to the great news: 📍 **We have a much bigger venue: Magenta HQ** Demand for this meetup has blown past what we imagined and what our Greentube venue could handle, so our friends at **Magenta** jumped in to help — their venue gives us room for a much bigger audience. A huge thanks to Magenta and especially to Georg for getting this approved so quickly! Find the exact address in the location section. The rest remains unchanged: **same date, same time, same schedule**. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🥳 And now for the amazing news that probably everybody has been hoping for: 🦞 **The Clawfather is joining us!** The Clawfather himself, **Peter Steinberger**, will greet the Vienna OpenClaw community from SF via **live stream**. So see you at **Magenta**, and for Pete's sake, submit your lightning talk to **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)** ! **[END UPDATE]** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Hello everyone! We're beyond excited to announce the 🦞**OpenClaw & Codex Edition** of our **Vienna AI Engineering Meetup** on Tuesday, March 10th! Once again, we'll be hosted by **Magenta Telekom** at their HQ on Rennweg 97-99. **This one is going to be different.** If you've been following what's happening in the OpenClaw community, you know the energy is through the roof. The recent OpenClaw Vienna Meetup organized by **Peter Steinberger** was an absolute blast, and we knew immediately: we need to bring this energy to our next meetup. So here's the plan: **we're doing lightning talks.** Short, punchy, **7-minute** demos and mini talks - no death by PowerPoint, just builders showing what they've built. The topics: **OpenClaw** and **coding with OpenAI Codex**. Whether you've wired up an OpenClaw agent to automate your entire deployment pipeline, built something weird and wonderful with Codex, or found a creative way to combine the two — we want to hear about it. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📢 **Call for Lightning Talks — We Want YOU on Stage!** This is the heart of the event. We're looking for **8–10 speakers** who want to share something cool they've built with OpenClaw or Codex in a **maximum of 7 minutes**. **What we're looking for:** \- OpenClaw agents and automations you've built \- Creative Codex workflows and coding setups \- Combinations of OpenClaw \+ Codex \(or other AI tools\) \- Lessons learned\, fails\, surprises — the real stuff \- Anything that makes the audience go "wait\, you can do THAT?" To keep it simple and engaging, you don't need to prepare a big polished slide deck. Just make 2-3 slides explaining the main ideas and show us what you've built or learned, ideally with a demo. Our main goal is to have fun and inspire eachother. **How to submit:** Drop us a message on [meetup.com](meetup.com) or write us an email at **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)**. A few sentences about what you would present and why you think the audience absolutely needs to hear it are enough. First come, first served. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🎉 **Welcome Alex Gavrilescu as Co-Organizer!** Furthermore we're thrilled to announce that **Alex Gavrilescu** is joining the organization of the Vienna AI Engineering Meetups! Many of you already know Alex. He's been a speaker at our meetup several times, most recently with his talks on the Cambrian Explosion of Agentic AI and his Backlog.md deep dives. Alex is an OpenAI **Codex Ambassador** and the creator of **Backlog.md**.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. This time we meet at [BarnVentures](https://barn-ventures.com/) with one talk (and more time for socialising!) **Talk:** **Lovable Product Discovery Machine: How to effectively kickstart Product Discovery** The Lovable Prompting Machine built with Lovable and Claude transforms product thinking into ready-to-use prototypes—instantly.

Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity. That’s when creativity becomes easier. 📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) **Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨ Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**. Something expressive. Something bold. Something unusual. **Examples:** * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful or dramatic * something funny / absurd * something you “could never pull off”… until today No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum.** **Location** * Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**. * Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**. * These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community. 🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday 📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria 💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on 🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between.

KubeCon is around the corner, and to get you in the mood for this, you get the next **Cloud Native Vienna Meetup** \- and this time\, we’re stepping into the "Upside Down\." Join us at [karriere.at](karriere.at) for an evening of deep-dive technical sessions and high-bandwidth networking. Whether you're hunting for Demogorgons in your logs or just trying to scale your Internal Developer Platform, we’ve got you covered. Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors Open * 17:55 - Welcome from the Organizers * 18:00 - Talk 1: Manav Singh ([karriere.at](www.karriere.at)) - homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud * 18:45 - Break / Networking * 19:00 - Talk 2: Andi Grabner ([Dynatrace](www.dynatrace.com)) - Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP * 19:45 - Networking \-\-\- Manav Singh **Homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud** \-\-\-\- Andi Grabner **Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP** Your Internal Developer Platform lives in two worlds. In the **Right Side Up**, developers rely on self‑service observability to build, deploy, operate and debug their apps. In the **Upside Down**, the platform itself must be observable to ensure its reliability, performance, and to understand usage patterns and adoption. **The twist?** these two worlds are not separate. Improving observability *of* the platform directly improves the observability *for* the applications built on top of it. Just like in *Stranger Things*, observability becomes the force that connects both realities—creating feedback loops, strengthening the platform’s foundations, and enabling teams to spot issues before they cross between worlds. This talk reveals why mastering both sides of observability is essential for any modern IDP. Expect real-world examples, a few supernatural analogies, and practical guidance you can bring back to your platform team—no Demogorgon hunting required

An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. 🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link: https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind 🌿Date: 11th of March 🌿Time: 18:30—20:30 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) Step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes. You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care. This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience. The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form. Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

**KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?** KI impliziert die Hoffnung, sich - von langweiligen Tätigkeiten befreit - endlich kreativen und spannenden Dingen widmen zu können. Jedoch häufen sich Sorgen um mögliche Nebenwirkungen: Begriffe wie **KI Burnout**, **KI Fatigue** und **KI Workslop** sprießen nur so aus Studien und Social Media Posts. In diesem Talk geht es um Zusammenhänge zwischen Burnout, Cognitive Load, Flow und den Einsatz von KI Tools - und um mögliche Lösungsansätze. **Sabine Ballata** ist Co-Founderin von Kokoro ([www.bekokoro.com](http://www.bekokoro.com/)), wo sie Produktdesign und Strategie leitet.

Join us for an evening about visibility, marketing, and rebuilding digital communities in a post-AI world. This Meetup explores how we build presence and trust online today. From marketing WordPress products in an era of AI-generated noise to rethinking what healthy social media could look like, we’ll examine how developers, founders, and digital professionals can stand out, without losing authenticity. Instead of growth hacks and algorithm chasing, expect strong opinions, practical experience, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 18:30 live, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ 18:45 – Rodolfo Melogli **“Marketing for Developers After AI + Live WooCommerce Q&A”** Marketing for developers has changed fast. With AI making content cheap and abundant, volume is no longer an advantage, it’s noise. In this talk, Rodolfo Melogli explains why personality, taste, and a clear point of view are now the real differentiators, especially for developers building WordPress products, plugins, or services. You’ll learn how to build a recognizable presence in public without chasing algorithms or trying to become an influencer. Instead, we’ll explore practical ways to turn everyday developer work, shipping features, solving support tickets, sharing opinions into marketing that actually works. The session concludes with a live WooCommerce Q&A, applying these ideas to real-world product and growth challenges developers face today. Rodolfo is an author, WooCommerce expert, and founder of [Business Bloomer](https://www.businessbloomer.com), [Checkout Summit](https://checkoutsummit.com), and WCWKLY. He has worked as an independent WooCommerce freelancer since 2011, helping entrepreneurs and developers overcome their WooCommerce challenges. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, playing tennis and soccer, and of course, wood-fired oven pizza. ⏱️ 19:45 – Michael Eisenriegler **black•box 2026: Social Media as It Should Be** Founded in 1992, Black•Box was Austria’s first online community and anticipated many features that define today’s social media platforms. But back then, there were no manipulative algorithms, no bots, and far fewer trolls and fake accounts. In this talk, Michael Eisenriegler shares how the original spirit of Black•Box can be revived using modern technology. The goal: to create digital spaces where people feel comfortable, connect meaningfully, and can truly relax online again. We bring the “Social” back into Social Media. Michael Eisenriegler (born 1964) studied Communication Science and Political Science and has been working with digital networks as human communication spaces since 1990. He is co-founder and managing director of [MediaClan GmbH](https://www.mediaclan.at) and GenSoup GmbH. His focus areas include integrated communication strategies, social media consulting, and online genealogy. He also teaches Online Journalism at the University of Vienna. Whether you’re building WordPress products, running an agency, experimenting with AI-driven marketing, or rethinking what digital communities should look like in 2026, this Meetup will give you practical insights, fresh perspectives, and great conversations with fellow web professionals.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
