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 feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

## **Pope vs. AI?—Current Events Social: Life's big 'AI' questions!** Get ready for a fun combo of philosophical musing and current events. Even global leaders and tech pioneers are pausing to ask what comes next. Following the Vatican’s recent warnings on AI safety and Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah’s admission that these questions are *"bigger than the AI research community,"* it’s time for us to weigh in! Here are 3 big questions we’ll dive into around our friendly table: 1️⃣ **Who holds the remote control?** As algorithms take over decision-making, how do we ensure humanity always retains ultimate control? 2️⃣ **Are we risking "digital slavery"?** With warnings comparing unchecked AI to historical exploitation, how do we prevent technology from dehumanizing workers and users? 3️⃣ **What makes us human—and not more and more like AI?** As machines get smarter, how do we safeguard our unique human connection, creativity, and imagination? 📰 **Useful link:** We may use this article to guide our discussion: [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedppn6002jo](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedppn6002jo) Bring your curiosity and your best skepticism. Let’s grab a drink and solve the ultimate CAPTCHA: what actually makes us human?

Sziasztok! Mielőtt mindenki elmerülne a nyári szabadságok és tervek megvalósításában, fussunk össze még egyszer a Teszt és Tea keretein belül! Ezúttal egy rendkívül forró témát hozunk nektek: hogyan támogatja az AI a mindennapi szoftvertesztelést a gyakorlatban? **FONTOS RÉSZLETEK:** Ez alkalommal az Raiffeisen Bank Zrt. vendégei leszünk. Az esemény gördülékenysége érdekében ezért az alábbiakra figyeljetek: * Maximum **80** **fő** fog tudni jelentkezni a meetupra * A jelentkezéshez **meetup appot** használjátok kérlek * A jelentkezés során kérlek használjátok a **valódi neveteket** (ettől függ, hogy be tudtok-e jutni majd az irodába * **Jelentkezni június 7.-én napvégéig tudtok!** **Előadásaink** **Tomócsik Zoltán, Szabó Beáta: Az AI, mint a quality menedzsment hatékony támogató eszköze** Egyre gyorsabb sprintek, egyre kevesebb idő – és közben a minőség nem romolhat. Ismerős? Amikor banki rendszereket tesztelünk (online banking, mobilapp, core rendszerek), hamar eljutunk oda, hogy a manuális megközelítés már nem elég. Itt jön képbe az AI. Ebben az előadásban azt mutatjuk meg, hogyan jutottunk el oda, hogy az AI nem csak egy hype, hanem valós eszköz lett a tesztmenedzsmentben: * segít eldönteni, mit érdemes tesztelni, * képes teszteket generálni, * és támogatja a döntéshozatalt a legkritikusabb pontokon. De nem minden arany, ami fénylik: beszélünk a veszélyekről is – hallucináció, adatvédelem, auditálhatóság –, és arról, miért marad továbbra is kulcsfontosságú az emberi kontroll. Ez az előadás azoknak szól, akik szeretnék érteni, nem csak használni az AI-t a banki tesztelésben. **Ágnecz Gergely: AI a szoftverfejlesztésben és tesztelésben – gyakorlati tapasztalatok egy SDET-től** Mind tapasztaljuk az AI hype-ot és az eszközök térnyerését az iparban. Nézzük meg egy gyakorlatiasabb szemszögből, hogyan alakította át az elmúlt években az AI a szoftverfejlesztést és a minőségbiztosítást, illetve hogy mindez hogyan néz ki egy SDET mindennapjaiban Nagy örömmel várunk minden lelkes érdeklődőt, találkozzunk a meetupon!

**Apple is about to change how your customers buy.** If you think WWDC is just a technical event for developers, you are missing the biggest market shift of the year. This is where Apple drops the updates that will dictate consumer behavior for the next 12 months. These hardware and software changes could open a massive new lane for our businesses. Or they could completely break the tools you rely on every day. We are gathering at JO&JOE to watch the keynote live. We want to see if the rumors actually happen. Gemini-powered Siri? AI-centric glasses? Tim Cook stepping down? We definitely do not have all the answers. But we want to invite you to figure out what these updates actually mean all of us. June 8th. Arrive at 18:30. The stream starts at 19:00 Budapest time. *(Please note: This is an unofficial, community-driven watch party. The event is completely free to attend and is not officially affiliated with or sponsored by Apple.)* See you there, Bence & Nándi

**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065** We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

In the last DevBP meetup before the summer break, we will venture to the world of **Continuous Delivery**, exploring the craft of shipping software safely and continuously — from the practices that keep your releases boring, to the hard-won lessons of building the infrastructure behind a feature toggle. \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- **Continuous Delivery Never Died. It Became a Harness.** with [András Fincza (Draven) - XUND](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrasfincza/) The PR-centered pipeline was already buckling under big batches, delayed feedback, and overloaded reviewers. Agents just turned up the volume. But the discipline that made CD work in 2015: trunk-based development, fast feedback, sociable testing, feature flags, quality gates. These matter more in 2026, not less. This talk is about what to keep from the old playbook, what to upgrade, and what to stop pretending works. **Building a Feature Flag service** with [Zoltán Dávid - ConfigCat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoltan-david/) Everyone knows what a feature flag is. Far fewer know what it takes to build and run a feature flag service at scale. In this talk, we'll go behind the scenes of ConfigCat: the technical decisions, the scaling surprises, and the business lessons that came from serving billions of feature flag evaluations. No introductions to feature flagging, just honest insights from years of building a product in a space where reliability isn't optional. \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- This English-language event will be held at the **Shapr3D office**, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations. Arrival is from 17:30, the presentations start at 18:00. You can also find the recordings of previous events on the [@DevBPMeetup YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DevBPMeetup).

Az AI most már nem csak külső chatbotként jelenik meg a fejlesztésben, hanem az Oracle APEX világába is egyre mélyebben beépül. Ezen a meetupon gyakorlati példákon keresztül nézzük meg, mit jelent ez APEX fejlesztőknek, PL/SQL fejlesztőknek és vállalati alkalmazásokat építő csapatoknak. Az új verzió fókuszában az **AI-támogatott fejlesztés**, az automatizálhatóság és a modern fejlesztői élmény áll. A 26.1 legfontosabb újdonságai közé tartozik az **APEXlang**, amely olvashatóbb, fejlesztők és AI-eszközök számára is könnyebben értelmezhető alkalmazásleírást ad. Megjelent az **AI Interactive Reports**, amely természetes nyelvi támogatást hoz a riportolásba. Szintén fontos újdonság az **AI Agent Tools**, amely biztonságosabb és kontrolláltabb AI-alapú megoldások építését teszi lehetővé. Beszélünk a **Codex** APEX fejlesztésben való használatáról, az **OpenAI** integrációs lehetőségekről, valamint bemutatjuk azt is, hogyan építhető **projekt szintű chatbot** saját adatok és dokumentumok alapján. Célunk az Oracle Application Express népszerűsítése, a fejlesztői közösség erősítése és olyan gyakorlati megoldások bemutatása, amelyek valódi ügyféligényekre adhatnak választ. Ha érdekel az APEX, a low-code fejlesztés és az AI gyakorlati alkalmazása, regisztrálj minél előbb, mert a helyek csak korlátozottan állnak rendelkezésre. A rendezvény ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

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.
