Transzformáció középvezetői szinten
Transzformáció középvezetői szinten
*Nem a framework a nehéz, hanem az emberek* Egy transzformáció megvisel minden szervezetben dolgozót -pozíciótól függetlenül-. A csapattagok felé számtalan új elvárást kommunikálnak, a felsővezetők hirtelen elkezdenek magasabb szinten tervezni. De mi van a középvezetőkkel? Gyakorlatilag ők lesznek a "transzformációs belső tolmácsok" egyikei. Elvárásokat támasztanak feléjük. De vajon a segítséget is megkapják ezekhez? Célunk, hogy gyakorlati szituációkon keresztül bemutassuk, hogy mi milyen kihívásokkal találkoztunk, és milyen megoldásokkal próbálkoztunk. Pláne, amik működnek... :) [Horányi Emese](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emese-horanyi/), az Uniqa agilis coach-a, perspektívikus coach alkalmazotti szemmel, míg [Spánn Richárd](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich%C3%A1rd-sp%C3%A1nn-3a56317b/), transzformációs tanácsadóként, külsős szemmel világít rá a lehetőségekre. \-\-\-\- Please note that this event is for Hungarian speakers only.

Female Networking ☕ Trading the Elevator Pitch for Real Stories | June Edition

We are here to do the opposite!* \-\-\- 👉 **STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp 👉 **STEP 2:** [Get your ticket on Luma](https://luma.com/pu365vs1) \-\-\- At the **Women’s Coffee Network**, we offer a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone. We created this circle because **we don't believe in the hustle; we believe in the power of a steady anchor.** Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where **the superficial is skipped** and **the high-fidelity connection begins**. We're here to share personal stories and build professional alliances. ​ WHO IS THIS FOR? * 🎀 It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand. * 🎀 If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed. * 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom. * 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard.

Trading the Elevator Pitch for Real Stories
COME JOIN US IF YOU'RE * **Building your Budapest circle**, weather you're a local or a newcomer (expat), ready to make this city feel like home. * **Hungry for high-fidelity connections** that go deeper than a business card. * **Eager to swap stories** with women who see the world differently than you do. * **Looking for your people** and a supportive space where you can be inspired and offer a hand to others.

We keep our groups intimate to ensure real conversation. With the help of a facilitator and our custom cards, we open the door to insights you won't find anywhere else. **No pressure, just presence.** You can stay quiet and listen, or share your wisdom with the group. You only share what you’re comfortable with. When the gathering ends, the connection continues, and you’ll be invited to our private community to keep the chemistry going.

DevBP #16: Ship Happens
DevBP #16: Ship Happens
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 APEX 26.1 és az AI támogatott fejlesztés
Az APEX 26.1 és az AI támogatott fejlesztés
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.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
