**Was ein erfolgreiches Sport-Innovations-Ökosystem braucht – und wie KI den Moment gerade beschleunigt** Runtastic. Eversports. myClubs. Österreich hat bewiesen, dass aus dem Sport heraus Weltklasse-Unternehmen entstehen können. Aber es sind Einzelfälle geblieben – noch kein vernetztes Ökosystem dahinter, das gezielt mehr davon hervorbringt. Was braucht es, damit das nächste große Ding nicht Zufall ist? Welche Verbindungen fehlen zwischen Sportorganisationen, Gründer:innen, Forschung und Kapital? Und was verändert KI gerade – in der Trainingssteuerung, der Sportmedizin, im Fan-Erlebnis – und wer in Österreich nutzt diesen Moment? Diese Fragen wollen wir gemeinsam stellen – beim **Sports Innovation Breakfast** für Sportbegeisterte, Gründer:innen, Investor:innen und Innovationstreiber:innen. **Speaker Line-up:** * [Horst Nussbaumer, OLY](https://www.linkedin.com/in/horst-nussbaumer-oly-b31b87133/), Präsident [Österreichisches Olympisches Comité](https://www.linkedin.com/company/oeoc/) * [Michaela Huber](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-huber-1b5557150/), Vizepräsidentin [SPORTUNION Österreich](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sportunion-oesterreich/) * [Stefan Litzenberger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-litzenberger-23389027/), Studiengangsleiter Sports Technology, [FH Technikum Wien](https://www.linkedin.com/company/uas-technikum-wien/) * [Klaus Müller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/klausmuller/), Gründer [Wictory](https://www.linkedin.com/company/wictory-ai/) * [Thomas Berger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-berger-6131a3189/), Geschäftsführer [LAOLA1](https://www.linkedin.com/company/laola1/) * [Conny Wilczynski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/conny-wilczynski-67757498/), Gründer [Sportbox](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sportbox-gmbh/) Veranstaltet von **weXelerate** in Kooperation mit [Innovation Salzburg](https://www.innovation-salzburg.at/). **Agenda:** 08:30 AM Check-In mit Kaffee 09:00 AM Welcome & Intro Ernst Novak (Innovation Salzburg) 09:10 AM - 09:30 AM Impuls Interview Horst Nussbaumer (ÖOC Präsident) 09:30 AM Panel-Diskussion Michaela Huber (VP Sportunion), Klaus Müller (Gründer Wictory.ai), Thomas Berger (GF LAOLA1), Stefan Litzenberger (FH Technikum) 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM Netzwerken

## The Portrait League – Paid Studio Sessions for Serious Hobby Photographers This is a structured portrait community — not a casual meetup. The Portrait League is a recurring studio (location) gathering for photographers who want to improve their portrait and headshot work in a focused, constructive environment. Each session will focus on a specific studio concept: – Classic 1-light headshots – Dramatic low-key portraits – High-key commercial looks – Editorial portrait setups – Creative color lighting Model included. We don’t rush for quantity. We work for quality. The goal is simple: Refine technique. Improve consistency. Develop a recognizable portrait style. This is for photographers who: • Want structured growth • Value critique over ego • Take their craft seriously • Prefer collaboration over chaos Spots are limited to maintain quality and productive energy. Investment Today: €15 Duration: approx. 2–3 hours If you want random shooting, this isn’t it. If you want to level up your portrait game, join the league. ***

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

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
