Some people go to pubs.
Some people conquer galaxies, build empires, trade spices, or outsmart dragons.
Nerdy Fridays are our open board game nights for anyone who prefers strategy over small talk and dice over disco lights. Come solo or bring your crew. We’ll help you find a table, explain the rules, and match you with a game that fits your vibe.
From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open.
Entry fee: 50 CZK if you drink something, 100 CZK if not
(includes access to games and rule explanation)
Friday nights don’t have to be loud. They can be legendary. 🎲✨

The night starts at 7:00 PM with chill music, socializing, and basic footwork. If you want to level up your dancing, be there at 7! Later, we flow into casual dancing, mixing European classics (Waltz, Polka) with modern Balfolk and chill Latin vibes (Forró).

✅ **No partner needed** → We rotate! Feel free to ask anyone taking a break. 👋
✅ **No dress code** → Wear comfy sneakers or go completely barefoot. 👟
✅ **No pressure** → As long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong! 🌟
✅ **Free entry** → If you love the vibe, hit us with a 5-star review 🌟 or leave a voluntary tip via QR code (suggested 200 CZK).
If you love to move and want to make new friends, simply show up on Friday and let’s dance!! 💃🔥
*Tančírna (pronounced tahn-cheer-nah) comes from the Czech word "tančit" (to dance) and literally means "a place for dancing".*
**Pro-tip:** Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated 💧 and a hoodie for when the sun goes down!
After we wrap up we go to a restaurant/bar close by for chill socializing.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.
