Then September lands, the calendar fills, and by week three you’re reacting again. 60 spots only. No stage, no slides, nobody talking at you for 20 minutes. Three tables in Stromovka, 15 seats each. You pick your table when you register. One table, both chairs. 🌅 **8AM morning coffee of an AI Engineering Manager** · with [Vojta Tuma](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vojta-t%C5%AFma-88176460/) What is the morning routine that saves your ass? Your first hour, your coffee, what you read, what you ignore. Who runs your inbox: you, an assistant, an AI, or nobody. What happens before the first meeting eats the day. 🏃 **Fit Implies Success** · with [Jan Hlaves](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-hlaves-longevity/) You cannot run a good year on a broken body. Sleep, load, the 11pm laptop. What you cut. What the people still shipping at 45 do differently from the people who burned out at 35. ⚙️ **Which Developers Will You Hire in 2027?** · with [Marian Kamenistak](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariankamenistak/) Staff, Principal, product builder. The most demanding roles in the building and the least defined. What Staff work looks like when nobody assigns it. Which of your seniors is ready, and how they escape the senior-forever band. At 19:30 the tables break and everyone walks. Loops of the park as the sun goes down, finishing the conversation with whoever earned it. And when we close, the night doesn’t have to: after-party for the core group. When a table fills on Luma, it says full. No waitlist trick, no squeezing in. You leave with your next year written down. Three decisions, not three pages of notes. Live long and prosper. 🖖 **You leave with your next year written down. Three decisions, not three pages of notes.** --- ![User Uploaded Image](https://images.lumacdn.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,fit=cover,dpr=2,quality=75,width=800,height=532.2751322751323/editor-images/xu/68ec620c-9829-442c-ac62-2e629de28341.jpg) ## **​What makes our meetups different:** - **Action-oriented:** Every talk includes takeaway guides/frameworks you can photograph or access via QR code - **Case study focused:** Real implementations, real results, real failures - **Interactive:** Audience Q&A with people who’ve actually done this - **Practical:** Skip the vendor pitches—hear from practitioners --- > Perfect for engineering leaders tired of AI marketing fluff who want practical insights.
