You always meant to return. A month ago you left inspired, certain you would follow up. Then came the AI hype, the busy schedule, the blur of daily life, and a month quietly passed. Yet here we are again, for the 69th time. This community grows on its own. The energy compounds, trust deepens, and the right minds keep finding one another. Leadership may change month to month, but the commitment never does: the last Thursday of every month, twelve times a year, without exception. This month's hosts are two trusted members of the community, Sam Olawale and Tudor Popp, your connectors and champions for the evening. Join us on the 25th of June at Modelier Park, Herastrau.
