Building a great product isn’t just about adding new features. It is about having the discipline and clarity to decide exactly what not to build. At this meetup, we will dive into how product leaders make high-stakes prioritization decisions in two entirely opposite environments: a massive global enterprise and a fast-moving, VC-backed AI startup. **The Speakers & Contexts** **Andraž Zvonar,** Founder & CEO at KatalistAI – A fast-growing AI platform that automates professional video production from script to screen. The company recently secured $1.5 million in VC funding from South Central Ventures and already boasts over 300,000 registered users worldwide. Andraž has been a product manager before starting KatalistAI. **Matej Kern Meglič**, Product Manager at Teads – Representing a global media and adtech giant operating one of its core European engineering hubs right here in Ljubljana. With over 40 Product Managers collaborating worldwide, Matej will share how they manage massive corporate roadmaps and balance endless competing demands without creating organizational deadlock. **What We Will Cover** * We’ll skip the textbook theories and dive straight into the messy reality of product operations: * Planning vs. Chaos: Structured roadmaps vs. early-stage startup agility. * The Reality of a Pivot: What shifting directions actually looks like under pressure. * Operations & Legacy Debt: Managing technical debt, iteration speed, and structured agile vs. pure ad-hoc teamwork. * The Art of Saying NO: Standing your ground against corporate stakeholders, enterprise clients, or demanding VC investors. **Event Details** Where: Gecko HRM, Letališka 32, Ljubljana When: 16 June, 18.00-21.00 Vibe: Fireside chat, open audience Q&A, and informal networking with pizza and drinks.

An evening dedicated to backend engineering. On 17th June, we’re hosting a backend-focused meetup at the Outfit7 office in Ljubljana featuring two talks centered around scalability, maintainability, and data infrastructure in production environments. 📅 **Date:** 17th June 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Ameriška ulica 8\, 1000 Ljubljana \| 2nd floor 🎟 **Admission:** Free 🍕 **Food and drinks:** Provided after the talks **🗣️ Big Data, Bigger Lessons** *Tilen Kavčič - Senior Software Engineer @ Outfit7* 5 billion events a day. 200 million monthly players. Two clouds, one data team. Tilen will walks us through how Outfit7 built a data platform that had to keep up with one of the world's most-played mobile game portfolios, covering ingestion at scale, pipeline orchestration, the move to dbt, and what it actually means to run a parallel data warehouse on Huawei Cloud for Chinese users. Practical war stories. No architecture astronauts. **🗣️ Maintainability is a Feeling** *Miha Medven – Senior Engineering Manager @ Sportradar* Introducing new technologies into an existing stack is rarely just a technical problem. The real challenge is building confidence: confidence in operability, debugging, scalability, onboarding, and long-term maintenance. This talk explores practical ways to evaluate, introduce, and operationalize new technologies in backend systems without turning your stack into a liability. **👥 Who should come?** Open to developers, engineers, architects, students, and anyone interested in backend technologies. Expect discussions around scaling systems, introducing new technologies responsibly, operating data platforms in production, and the engineering tradeoffs behind it all. All sessions will be in English 🇬🇧 See you there 👋

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.

Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider! Book description: Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true. Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart. Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
