[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY]
2026-09-09 17:30, 2026-09-02 17:30, 2026-08-26 17:30, 2026-08-19 17:30, 2026-08-12 17:30, 2026-08-05 17:30, 2026-07-29 17:30, 2026-07-22 17:30 and 9 more dates | weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, Wien, 1020, Austria
Vibe Code Wednesday Every Wednesday, 17:30 – 20:30 · weXelerate Plaza, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna
Work weeks are busy. Weekends are short. So when do you actually work on that side project you keep meaning to start?
Most passion projects don’t fail because the idea is bad — they stall because life gets in the way and there’s never a dedicated time to just sit down and build. Vibe Code Wednesday exists to fix that.
Every Wednesday evening, weXelerate Plaza transforms into a free, open space for builders, tinkerers, and AI-curious minds of all levels.

No sign-up. No agenda. No keynote.
Just show up with your laptop, find a spot, and make progress on the thing you’ve been saying you’ll start “next week.”
Think of it like going to a library to study — except the vibe is better, the people are building genuinely cool things, and you might just ship something you’re actually proud of.

What to expect:

Free entry, every week — no registration or preparation needed.
WiFi and power outlets are ready for you, and coffee, matcha, and cold drinks are available on-site via vending machines.
You’ll be in a room full of people working on things they actually care about, from first-time builders to seasoned developers who just need a consistent time to get into flow.

Come when you can, leave when you want. Bring a laptop, bring an idea, bring a friend.

Whether you’re curious about AI-building for the first time or you’re deep into your third side project — this is your weekly excuse to finally sit down and make it happen.

📍 weXelerate Plaza, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna
🕠 Every Wednesday, 17:30 – 20:30
🆓 Free. Always.

Wann kommt das nächste Runtastic?
2026-05-22 08:30 - 11:00 | weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, Wien, 1020, Austria
Was ein erfolgreiches Sport-Innovations-Ökosystem braucht – und wie KI den Moment gerade beschleunigt

Runtastic. Eversports. myClubs. Österreich hat bewiesen, dass aus dem Sport heraus Weltklasse-Unternehmen entstehen können. Aber es sind Einzelfälle geblieben – noch kein vernetztes Ökosystem dahinter, das gezielt mehr davon hervorbringt.

Was braucht es, damit das nächste große Ding nicht Zufall ist? Welche Verbindungen fehlen zwischen Sportorganisationen, Gründer:innen, Forschung und Kapital? Und was verändert KI gerade – in der Trainingssteuerung, der Sportmedizin, im Fan-Erlebnis – und wer in Österreich nutzt diesen Moment?

Diese Fragen wollen wir gemeinsam stellen – bei einem offenen Frühstück für Sportbegeisterte, Gründer:innen, Investor:innen und Innovationstreiber:innen.

Initiiert wird das Event vom Sports Innovation Network Austria – einer neuen Initiative von Personen, die das Sport-Innovations-Ökosystem in Österreich gemeinsam stärken wollen.

In Kooperation mit Innovation Salzburg

Through keynotes, panels, lightning talks, a startup showcase, and formats like Lego Serious Play networking, you’ll walk away with:

New perspectives on leading in a world that moves faster than we do
Real connections rooted in shared purpose, not business card exchanges
Practical tools for resilience and high performance as an innovator

Four themes. One day. A shift in how you build. Human 2.0 · Purposeful Innovation · Authentic Connection · Growth Unlocked

Ready to build the future from the inside out?
