We’re back with the third edition of the Budapest Databricks Meetup, a gathering for Databricks users, data engineers, analytics professionals, AI practitioners, and everyone interested in modern data platforms. This time, we’ll explore how **metadata** is becoming a key driver of **enterprise AI**, how **lineage** can help teams better understand KPI changes across BI environments, and how Databricks engineers can better navigate and integrate with the **SAP ecosystem**. 📍 **Location:** Agora Park, Hub 3, 4th floor (Árbóc utca 1–3, 1133 Budapest) 📅 **Date:** May 27\, 2026 \| 18:00–20:30 \(detailed agenda below\) 🤝 **Organizer:** Abylon Consulting 🍕 **Catering:** Pizza, snacks & beer **Beyond the Data: How Metadata is Reshaping Enterprise AI with Databricks** 🔹 Miguel Angel de Luna Gomez – Practice Lead EMEA, Databricks Enterprise data has always been at the heart of understanding how businesses really work. But things are changing. Today, it’s not just about the data itself, but also the metadata around it — and that shift is opening the door to a whole new generation of AI capabilities. In this session, Miguel will explore how organizations can accelerate their AI journey by combining Databricks with existing enterprise data landscapes. He’ll also introduce emerging patterns in enterprise AI, including how users can interact with enterprise data using natural language and what these capabilities look like in practice. **Why Did the KPI Change? End-to-End Lineage from Databricks to Power BI** 🔹 Edina Vedelek & Olivér Vetési – Abylon Consulting A practical look at how to cut through dashboard confusion by connecting backend SQL dependencies with Power BI reporting layers. Crossing the bridge between the two, thanks to Databrick AI (agent) and some Power BI tricks. This session will explore how metadata-driven lineage helps teams: ➡️ Assess downstream impact faster ➡️ Reduce dependency chaos between engineering and reporting teams ➡️ Move from guesswork to clear answers ➡️ Replicable automated information retrieval **SAP Data Meets Databricks: A Data Engineer’s Perspective** 🔹 Gábor Takács – Abylon Consulting In this session, we’ll explore how to work with SAP data from a Databricks data engineer’s perspective. We’ll cover common integration patterns, typical challenges, and practical ways to extract and make SAP data usable in a modern data platform. 🗓️ **Agenda** 17:30–18:00 — Arrival & Registration 18:00–18:30 — SAP Data Landscape from a Databricks Engineer’s Perspective 18:30–19:00 — Beyond the Data: How Metadata is Reshaping Enterprise AI with Databricks 19:00–19:30 — Why Did the KPI Change?

Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example. We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver. The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.

We’re excited to host our next Product Meetup, co-organised by Wise & Startup Hungary. We have three insightful sessions lined up for you: ​**PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For - András Lebó (Product Manager at Wise)** Data scientists can build anything themselves. That's what makes them the hardest users to build a platform for. They have notebooks, custom pipelines, workarounds that work. Why would they switch? András will share his learnings on PM-ing a data science platform: finding the real bottlenecks, earning trust from users who could out-engineer your solution, and measuring success when your contribution hides behind another team's objective. ​**Building the Engine Behind the Product - Balázs Dósa (Product Manager at Wise)** Ever wonder what happens when a fintech serving 19M+ customers decides to bet big on internal platforms? Join us as we pull back the curtain on: * ​The Why — What made Wise go all-in on internal platforms * ​The Hard Parts — The real challenges no one warns you about * ​The Payoff — What success actually looks like (and how we measure it) ​Whether you're building platforms, considering the investment, or just platform-curious — this one's for you. ​ **Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers - István Szabó (Product Manager at SAP Emarsys)** "Can we ship this table tomorrow?" Sometimes the most important product work is knowing what NOT to ship. Learn how one PM used AI tools to independently investigate a production data issue—tracing through two codebases, validating 82,000+ records across multiple customers, and delivering an evidence-based decision in half a day instead of one week. We'll walk through the real investigation, and show you a repeatable "Build to Learn" practice you can start using next week to tackle PM work that was previously impossible. ## ​Schedule: * ​18:00-18:30 - Arrival + Intro * ​18:30-19:00 - PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For * ​19:00-19:30 - Building the Engine Behind the Product * ​19:30-20:00 - Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers * ​20:00-21:30 - Drinks, Pizza, Networking 🍕

A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is. Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába. Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával. Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez.

The whole ecosystem reacts creatively, in the moment.”* *―* **Frederic Laloux**, Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness **(Session in english!)** Frederic Laloux is a former management consultant and organizational theorist best known for the book **Reinventing Organizations**, where he argues that human organizations evolve alongside human consciousness. Drawing from developmental psychology, systems thinking, and real-world case studies, Laloux proposes that many modern companies still operate with industrial-age assumptions centered on hierarchy, control, and bureaucracy, even though the nature of work and society has fundamentally changed. His work became influential among some founders, innovators, and organizational reformers searching for alternatives to rigid corporate structures. At the center of Laloux’s vision is the idea of “Teal organizations”: companies built around self-management, personal wholeness, and evolutionary purpose rather than traditional command-and-control leadership. Influenced by thinkers such as **Ken Wilber**, Laloux presents organizations not as machines to optimize, but as living systems capable of adaptation and emergence. His ideas are both inspiring and controversial, praised as a blueprint for post-industrial collaboration and criticized as overly idealistic, difficult to scale, and even utopian. **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests 1. What kind of organizations have you been a member of? 2. Was there anything in common in the way they operated? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. What sense does it make to categorize organizations into consciousness levels? 2. When it comes to organizations, should efficiency or harmonious functioning be the primary goal? 3. Is personal fulfillment a good foundational goal and guiding principle for an organization? 4. Can dynamically distributed authority function in the long run? 5. How solid a foundation for success is the self-organization of roles based on earned authority and trust? 6. Alongside self-organization (i.e., without overarching control), can it be guaranteed that every necessary role will have a sufficient number of competent members? 7. Is full transparency in finances and decision-making sustainable? 8. Is trust-based delegation necessarily better than competence-based delegation? 9. Is it not dangerous to optimize for pleasantness when one may have to face serious competitors? 10. Can the claim really be true that the propaganda proclaims: "the question is not whether you are good enough"? 11. Can actual quality of life be measured through feedback about how a person feels? How reliable a reflection for one's quality of life is one's sense of happiness? 12. Is it sufficient to weight the evaluation of an idea based on the degree of involvement of the voters? 13. Can a parliament whose members are selected based on popularity rather than competence truly be competent 14. Can a community feedback-based competence assessment be as good as an objective test-based one? 15. Does it make sense to speak collectively about the fulfillment of the people? 16. If people make decisions by relying on results provided by AI, are those decisions truly their own? 17. If a country was to transition to the Teal model today, how could it enforce its laws? 18. Was the Zappos example more of a good initiative or a bad one? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list.

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!

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: 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.
