THE KEEPING SEASON Dialog · Writing Workshop · Vinyl Session · Connection Ein Abend, der in Erinnerung bleibt. The Keeping Season verbindet echte Gespräche, gemeinsames Schreiben und Musik mit einem limitierten Paper Republic Ledernotizbuch, das nur für diesen Abend produziert wird. 5. Oktober 2026 · La Maison in Wien · Limitiert auf 60 Plätze Early Bird: 60 € bis 14. September Im Ticket enthalten sind das limitierte Ledernotizbuch, das gesamte Abendprogramm, Drinks, Fingerfood und eine Goodie Bag unserer Partner im Wert von über 200 €. Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der fast alles darauf ausgelegt ist, ersetzt zu werden. Nachrichten verschwinden nach 24 Stunden. Fotos verschwinden im Archiv. Gedanken verschwinden, bevor wir sie zu Ende gedacht haben. Der Oktober ist Keeping Season: eine Zeit des Erntens, Sammelns und Bewahrens. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine Frage: "In a disposable age, what is worth keeping?" Ein Abend über Erinnerungen, bewusste Entscheidungen und die Dinge, die bleiben dürfen. Zum ersten Mal öffnen wir dafür gemeinsam mit Paper Republic deren Store La Maison in der Wiener Innenstadt - ein Ort, der seit jeher dem Handwerk des Bewahrens in Form von Schreiben gewidmet ist. Der Abend entfaltet sich in drei Akten: 📖 AKT I - Dialog Der Abend beginnt nicht mit einer Bühne, sondern mit einem Raum, mit Karten und Spielen zum Kennenlernen von Better Talks. Es gibt keine Speaker und kein Panel Talk, sondern ganz viele Menschen mit denen du auf Augenhöhe quatschen kannst. Du wirst keinen Ice Breaker brauchen oder lang überlegen worüber du reden könntest, denn das Material von Better Talks macht es für jeden zum einfachen Spiel. Mit wem du wann und wie viel sprichst, wählst du frei aus. ✍️ AKT II - Writing Workshop Im zweiten Akt tauchen wir gemeinsam in die Frage der Nacht ein: Was möchte ich in diesem Leben oder genau jetzt behalten und für die Zukunft mitnehmen? Jede:r Gast erhält ein exklusives, co-produziertes Ledernotizbuch von Paper Republic und darf es dire

One line disappeared from a system prompt during an ordinary week of edits. The tests stayed green. The JSON stayed valid. And the classifier quietly began routing almost every request to the wrong specialist — a production failure nobody caused by touching the code. This evening is about the failures that look correct: behavioural drift in LLM systems. Output that a human reader would sign off on, that passes every schema check, and that safe fallbacks quietly paper over — so a mis-routed request can go unnoticed for days. We'll look at why the usual answers (add validation, write more evals) don't catch it, and what testing, observability, and plain engineering discipline actually look like when your software is non-deterministic. Then we open it up: a panel on who owns reliability when the code didn't change — system prompts as code vs. config vs. content, safe fallbacks vs. loud failures, and whether an LLM feature can ever earn the same trust as deterministic code. Developers and architects running LLM features in production, or about to — this one's for you.
