Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz
Shut Up & Write!® Saturday mornings @ Cafe Außergewöhnlich
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. Whether it‘s your blog, a report, your thesis, your next book, copy for your website, or just your daily journaling, it doesn’t matter. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
Schedule (tentative):
9:00 - 9:15: Arrive, set up, order some coffee, short introductions.
9:15 - 10:45: Timer starts. Time to write.
10:45 - 11:00: End. Short exchange, settle your bill, takeoff.
Optional: Sometimes some of us choose to stay for a second round. Great for when you‘re on a roll and have time.

**[🎟️ Sichern Sie sich noch heute Ihre Tickets für dieses einzigartige Comedy-Erlebnis in Wien! Entdecken Sie die dynamische Welt der deutschen Comedy und seien Sie Teil unserer humorvollen Gemeinschaft.](https://www.universe.com/events/na-servus-wiens-lustigstes-deutsches-open-mic-the-comedy-pub-tickets-ZXNFPG?ref=MeetUp)**
🎤 Tauchen Sie ein in die vielfältige Welt der deutschen Comedy bei unserem wöchentlichen Open Mic mit John Smile!
Willkommen zu **Na Servus!**, dem lustigsten deutschen Open Mic in Wien! Hier treffen sich die besten lokalen Talente, angehende Comedians und vielleicht auch der nächste Comedy-Star, um neue Jokes zu testen und das Publikum zum Lachen zu bringen. Egal, ob du schon seit Jahren auf der Bühne stehst oder zum ersten Mal das Mikro in die Hand nimmst – hier ist Platz für dich und deine Stories!
### 🤔 **Was ist ein Open Mic?**
Ein Open Mic ist die Geburtsstätte der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Gags aus, testen frische Ideen und improvisieren spontan mit dem Publikum. Manchmal funktioniert es großartig, manchmal nicht – und genau das macht den Spaß aus! Das Publikum erlebt hautnah, wie Comedy entsteht – ungeschönt, unzensiert und immer authentisch.
### 🍻 **The Comedy Pub – Dein Wohnzimmer für Stand-up Comedy**
Unser gemütlicher Irish Pub im Herzen Wiens bietet die perfekte Atmosphäre für einen unvergesslichen Comedy-Abend. Genieße kühle Drinks, leckeres Pub-Essen und großartige Unterhaltung in Wiens erstem und einzigem Stand-up Comedy Club.
### 💡 **Warum ist der Eintritt frei? (Spenden willkommen!)**
Comedy lebt vom Publikum! Lachen, Klatschen und manchmal auch Schweigen – jede Reaktion hilft den Comedians, ihre Jokes zu verbessern. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind immer willkommen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig ein bisschen Liebe. Und wenn nicht… naja, vielleicht beim nächsten Mal! 😉
### 🎟️ **Regeln für das Publikum:**
Um die Show für alle angenehm zu gestalten, bitten wir um Folgendes:
* Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht!
* Höre zu und respektiere die Bühne.
* Lachen ist erwünscht – und zwar laut!
* Spenden sind willkommen, wenn du Spaß hattest.
* Kein Gerede während der Show – lass die Comedians glänzen.
* Kein Heckling – das wird nie gut enden.
* Wenn du die Show störst, wirst du rausgeworfen – ohne Rückerstattung.
🎉 **Komm vorbei, lache mit uns und erlebe die besten deutschen Comedians Wiens live auf der Bühne!**

Wenn das Leben tiefere Fragen stellt ... Liebe
### **Bitte alles lesen!**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Begegnungen jenseits von Small Talk**
An diesem Abend widmen wir uns einer der vielleicht wichtigsten Fragen unseres Lebens:
**Die Wahrheit über Liebe.**
Warum sehnen wir uns so tief nach Liebe, Nähe und Verbindung —
und erleben dennoch so oft Enttäuschung, Unsicherheit oder innere Leere?
Es gibt Momente im Leben,
in denen sich Fragen nicht mehr übergehen lassen.
Zu Sinn. Zu Beziehungen.
Zu Innerer Ruhe, Weisheit, Spiritueller Ganzheit.
Zu dem, was wirklich zählt.
**Wir betrachten diese Fragen nicht nur aus persönlicher,**
**sondern auch aus philosophischer und spiritueller Sicht.**
Was ist Liebe wirklich?
Warum suchen wir so oft im Außen,
wonach wir uns innerlich sehnen?
Und verändert sich Beziehung,
wenn sich unser Verständnis von uns selbst verändert?
Dieses Treffen bietet einen Raum,
um diesen Fragen bewusst zu begegnen —
im Austausch mit anderen
und in Verbindung mit dir selbst.
Der Abend beginnt mit einem kurzen inspirierenden Impuls
auf Basis eines Videos von Alan Watts
über das vielleicht grundlegendste menschliche Verlangen.
Danach öffnen wir einen Raum
für ehrliche Gespräche, Reflexion und Austausch.
Nach einer kurzen Pause
wechseln wir behutsam von Worten in die Stille —
mit Raum für innere Resonanz, bewusstes Wahrnehmen und tiefere Einsichten.
Ein zentraler Bestandteil ist das,
was ich **Soul Polishing** nenne:
eine regelmäßige Praxis,
mit sich selbst in Kontakt zu bleiben —
und innere Balance, Ruhe und Stärke zu entwickeln.
Nicht einmal.
Sondern immer wieder —
wie Zähneputzen.
Ein erfülltes Leben entsteht nicht zufällig.
Es entsteht durch Aufmerksamkeit,
durch ehrliches Hinschauen
und durch kleine, bewusste Schritte im Alltag.
Du kannst selbstverständlich auch alleine kommen.
Die Atmosphäre macht es leicht, in Kontakt zu kommen.
Du entscheidest selbst, wie viel du teilen möchtest —
Zuhören ist genauso willkommen.
Du gehst mit mehr Klarheit.
Mehr Ruhe.
Und vielleicht auch mit einem neuen Blick
auf Liebe, Verbindung und dich selbst.
Für Kaffee, Tee, kleine Snacks und Getränke ist gesorgt.
Beitrag: €20
(zur Deckung der Kosten für Raum, Getränke, Snacks und Organisation)
Ich freue mich auf dich.

PS: Offiziell endet der Abend um 20:00 Uhr — und wenn du noch ein wenig bleiben möchtest, bist du natürlich herzlich willkommen.

Open Dialogue – Discovering Together in Vienna
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 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?”

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 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.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish

The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
