Tech Events in Sofia

🦞 Cogito Ergo Creo 🦞

Third gathering of OpenClaw Bulgaria. This time — Demo Day.

Less talk, more show. We're opening the floor to the community: bring what you've built, plug in, and walk us through it. Agents, local LLM setups, side projects, half-broken experiments — all welcome. The point isn't polish. The point is to see what people are actually making.

🎤 Demos — 5–10 minutes each. Show the thing, tell us what's working, what isn't, what you'd build next.
💬 Q&A — Real questions from a room of builders.
🔥 Open floor — Stick around, swap notes, find collaborators.

Want to demo? Please register your presentation at https://openclaw.bg/events/ — or ping us on Discord so we can sketch out a running order.

Who is this for? Developers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the simply curious. Whether you're shipping in production or just got something running for the first time — if you're building, you belong here.

Language: English + Bulgarian — whatever flows naturally.

📍 Location: SOHO — HOLISTIC Room, 4 Iskar Street, Sofia 1000 (near Serdika metro)
🕐 Start: 17:00
🌐 www.openclaw.bg

Recurring meetup — every first Thursday of the month (moved this month). Come once, come always.

Hosted by Alex Alexiew & Aria 🤖

Cogito ergo creo. Трета среща на OpenClaw Bulgaria. Този път — Demo Day.

По-малко приказки, повече показване. Отваряме сцената за общността: донесете това, което сте направили, включете го и ни го разкажете. Агенти, локални LLM, странични проекти, полусчупени експерименти — всичко е добре дошло. Целта не е лъскавост. Целта е да видим какво всъщност прави хората.

🎤 Demos — 5–10 минути на човек. Покажете нещото, кажете какво работи, какво не, какво следва.
💬 Q&A — Истински въпроси от стая пълна с builders.
🔥 Open floor — Останете, обменете идеи, намерете съмишленици.

Искаш да демонстрираш? Моля, регистрирай презентацията си на https://openclaw.bg/events/ — или пиши в Discord, за да направим програма.

📍 Локация: SOHO — зала HOLISTIC, ул. „Искър" 4, София 1000 (до метростанция Сердика)

Срещаме се всеки първи четвъртък от месеца. Елате веднъж, останете завинаги.

The event is free, but prior registration is required - Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change. · Luma

Growth rarely happens while staying in our comfort zone. In this inspiring session, Temenuzhka Zlateva will share her personal and professional journey from Development to VP Operations and the mindset shifts that helped her navigate change, embrace uncertainty, and continue growing along the way.
​Through real experiences and practical insights, the session will explore how growth, vulnerability, and the courage to move forward are deeply connected. From taking small steps without always knowing the full path ahead, to understanding why saying “I don’t know” is not a weakness, this talk is about building the confidence to keep evolving.
​We’ll also dive into the power of transferable skills, visibility, curiosity, and asking questions and how the lessons we gain professionally often help us grow personally as well.

​What to expect:

• ​Lessons from a career journey across different roles and functions
• ​Why growth starts outside the comfort zone
• ​The importance of visibility, curiosity, and vulnerability
• ​How transferable skills shape both career and personal development
• ​A practical perspective on embracing change and continuous growth

​This is a session about developing a mindset to move - because growth is not about having all the answers, but about having the courage to take the next step.

In early May, two of our Atlassian experts packed their bags and flew to California for Atlassian Team '26 - one of the biggest gatherings in the Atlassian ecosystem. Georgi and George spent several intense days in Anaheim, sitting through keynotes, joining partner sessions, hosting conversations, and talking to people from organizations across the world who are wrestling with the same questions we are.

They're back now. And we thought the best way to share what they learned is an evening with beer and pizza.

So what did they actually bring back?

The biggest shift was a fundamental change in how Atlassian is positioning itself - not just as a suite of tools your team uses, but as the layer that makes your organizational knowledge usable by any AI system you're already working with. The data your teams have been building for years in Jira, Confluence, and JSM - the workflows, the ownership, the history - is now something external tools can actually access and act on. 

On the AI side, Rovo moved well beyond being a smart assistant. The new direction is about AI that takes on real work: breaking down complex requests, executing multi-step tasks, and doing it in a way that stays visible and auditable. Non-technical people can now build automations by describing what they need in plain language. Engineers can ask questions across entire multi-repo codebases. And for the first time, organizations will be able to see exactly where their AI investment is going - and whether it's actually connected to anything strategic.

Join us for an informal evening where we unpack all of it and what it means for the way we work.

Hosted By

Velizar Borisov, Atlassian Administrator

Boriana Todorova, Community Leader

I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience in quality assurance, process improvement, project delivery, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building high-performing teams, and bridging the gap between business goals and tech execution.

My mission is simple:
I help systems and people work better — starting with myself, and never stopping at “good enough.”

I thrive where complexity meets urgency — whether it's redesigning inefficient workflows, elevating engineering culture, or aligning delivery with long-term value. I bring a strong foundation in internal auditing practices, ensuring that systems are not only efficient but also aligned with key compliance and quality standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 — without losing sight of the human side of work.

I’ve also developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence — not just as a tool, but as a transformational force. I’m exploring how AI can enhance quality, automate the right parts of work, and help us build more adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both business and society responsibly.

I believe the future of tech depends not just on innovation, but on responsibility, empathy, and structure that serves both people and planet.

Come and join us on Jun 18, 2026 for a dive into a topic that impacts everyone using Python. (Important: The event requires a mandatory registration)

Everyone knows that there is no real multithreading in Python - or is there? The tradeoffs between processes and threads is well known. But what if we could have the best of both worlds? This is where subinterpreters come in. We will go over what subinterpreters are, how they work, and most importantly, how we can use them to make our code faster.

We will also go deeper into Python’s internals and explore what a GIL-less Python looks like. The “freethreaded” builds of Python are easily accessible - but are there drawbacks?

After that, we can have a quick chat and enjoy some drinks and pizza (provided by SiteGround)

OWASP Sofia Chapter ви кани на ново събитие, посветено на AppSec, DevSecOps и киберсигурност в практиката.

Събитието ще се състои в офиса на нашите любезни партньори от SumUp 🤝

📌 Програма за 25 юни 2026:

• 19:00 ч. - Начало и въведение
• 19:15 ч. - Deyan Vuchev @ SumUp - AI Security at the Fintech Frontier
• 20:00 ч. - Denitsa Taneva @ Wisebee - Detected ≠ Exploitable: Rethinking Vulnerability Prioritization
• 20:45 ч. - Vladimir Atanasov @ EGT - It's about Time
• 21:30 ч. - Q&A / Networking
• 22:00 ч. - Закриване

Събитието ще се проведе на живо в офиса на SumUp.
Имаме и нов сайт: www.owasp.bg

Deyan Vuchev е Cybersecurity Architect в SumUp с 15+ години в сигурността и силен опит в SIEM/XDR, автоматизация и облачна сигурност. Презентацията му показва как в SumUp контролират и наблюдават използването на AI tooling и agentic решения в реална fintech среда.

Denitsa Taneva е Senior Security Engineer в WiseBee с фокус върху cloud security, vulnerability management, product security и AI рискове. Ще предложи нов поглед към приоритизацията на уязвимости — защо "открито" не значи "експлоатируемо".

Vladimir Atanasov е Security Architect в EGT с над 10 години в сигурността. Ще разгледа пресечната точка между времето и сигурността — с практически примери от defend и attack перспектива.
