Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedbackâand accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

Google Cloud Budapest Meetup: AI-Native Engineering vs. Core Fundamentals
Google Cloud Budapest Meetup is back!
Join us on June 17th at the Aliz office in Budapest for an evening of deep-tech insights, practical engineering strategies, and networking with fellow Google Cloud and AI enthusiasts.
As AI tools reshape the development landscape, the definition of a "good engineer" is shifting. This meetup isn't about generic AI prompts - it's about the concrete skills and old-school engineering discipline required to build reliable, scalable, AI-native applications.
đ« The event is free, but seats are limited. **Save yours now! đ**
â Register here: [https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026](https://www.aliz.ai/en/event/google-cloud-budapest-meetup-2026)
=================
**Talk 1**
**Becoming a Context Engineering Professional in Your Domain** by TamĂĄs Imets (AI Solution Architect), Aliz
The most underrated skill in the AI era: context engineering. How to structure prompts, design context windows, and become a force multiplier in your technical domain. Practical patterns from the field that turn good engineers into AI-native practitioners.
**Talk 2**
**The Revenge of the Fundamentals: old-school ideas winning in the AI era** by Måté Czékus (Lead Architect) and Aamna Tayyab (Head of Delivery), Adroit Group
The core argument: LLMs accelerate code generation are non-deterministic and inconsistent by default, which makes foundational engineering practices and tooling more important then ever. Teams that skipped the fundamentals, or was still hand rolling checks when AI arrived are paying for it at integration boundaries â it'll be way more harder to guide agent to write compliant and consistent code, and even harder to review the huge amount that was generated.
Three fundamental tools doing more work than they get credit for:
* JSON Schema â enforcing the contract between modules
* TDD â writing the tests before the code
* Linters and formatters â static governance that guides the shapeand correctness what the model sometimes misses even with context
Måté brings a live demo: one real multi-cloud cost explorer example showing what AI tooling produces by default vs the disciplined version side by side.
=================
đŁ Meet the speakers
**TamĂĄs Imets**
An **AI Solution Architect** at **Aliz** who has been tinkering with tech since age 13 - moving from taking apart toys for robots to founding an AI startup where he led product and engineering. When heâs not building AI-native systems, youâll find him backpacking through East Asian megacities, playing squash, or experimenting with new musical instruments.
**Måté Czékus**
He is a **software engineer** at **Adroit Group** who spends his days planning, testing, and refactoring systems while exploring the latest technologies. A passionate specialty coffee enthusiast and functional programming nerd, he believes that if you can build something, you should also be able to deploy and maintain it.
**Aamna Tayyab**
As **Head of Delivery** at **Adroit Group**, Aamna works at the intersection of product and engineering analyzing requirements, shaping architecture, and turning ambiguous ideas into work teams can actually deliver. Alongside her job, she co-organizes GDG Budapest and stays active in the Google developer community.

Virtual Cells at ICLR'26 Conference
==DATE CHANGED==
May 27th's event is re-scheduled --> to Jun 17.
This month's meetup discusses 3 papers
from the ICLR 2026 conference held in April.
This won't be as much of a deep dive into one paper, but I'd like to give an overview / some intuition on latest modeling approaches in cell modeling & AI in biology.
1 - [scDFM](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07103) \- a **flow matching** model predicting cell transitions in the transcriptomics space as a result of applying perturbations
2 - [TxFM](https://openreview.net/pdf?id=NqZqClqtTK) - **a masked autoencoder style foundation model** trained on a well-curated transcriptomics dataset. Authors demonstrate: how important data quality is in biological models, outweighing sheer scale.
3 - [VCWorld](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.00306) \- a **world model** approach for virtual cell simulation. A **white-box, cell simulator** approach that **combines structured biological knowledge with LLMs**

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 worldâs largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping whatâs possible. Since then, weâve built a suite of AIâdriven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomesâaccelerating benefits decisions for our Nationâs Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcomeâdriven 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 youâre running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
Weâre interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how itâs hosted and managed, how you built it, and why youâve 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 youâd like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyoneâs demonstrations.
Come ready to show what youâve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether youâre deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
