What we’re about
Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and software engineering - and a community of passionate, purpose-led individuals. We have one mission: We think disruptively to deliver technology to address our clients' toughest challenges, all while seeking to revolutionize the IT industry and create positive social change.
We are intentional about making technology a better place for all. Thoughtworkers are encouraged to stand up, speak up, and advocate for who and what they believe in. We host events and talks tackling intersectionality, discrimination and bias in tech because we believe conversations create understanding and diversity in organizations and thinking.
Here you are free to learn and to share on any platform. Free to feel safe in your own skin. Free to follow your latest curiosity to an unknown place. Free to challenge ideas, assumptions, and solutions - no matter who they belong to (respectfully). Free to experiment and recommend the right tech without bias. Free to change career paths. Free to make technology a better place for all.
We like to share our knowledge and would like to invite you to become part of this meetup group to stay up to date with our latest events - you don't have to be a Thoughtworker to join this community :)
Our venue in Berlin is a barrier free non-smoking area. The toilets are wheelchair accessible.
Code of Conduct:
tl;dr: Be excellent to each other

Wir wollen die Technologiebranche zu einem besseren Ort für alle machen. Wir ermutigen ThoughtworkerInnen, aufzustehen, sich frei zu äußern und dafür einzutreten, an wen und an was sie glauben. Wir veranstalten Events und Vorträge zu Themen wie z.B. Diskriminierung oder Vorurteile in der Technologiebranche, weil wir glauben, dass Konversation Verständnis und Vielfalt schafft.
Als ThoughtworkerIn hast du die Freiheit, auf allen möglichen Wegen und Plattformen zu lernen und das Gelernte mit anderen zu teilen. Du bist frei, du selbst zu sein. Frei, den Themen, die dich begeistern, zu folgen und unbekannte Bereiche oder Tech Stacks zu erkunden. Frei, Ideen, Annahmen und Lösungen in Frage zu stellen – egal zu wem sie gehören. Frei, zu experimentieren. Frei, deinen Weg zu ändern. Frei, die Welt durch Technologie zu einem besseren Ort zu machen.
Wir konzentrieren uns auf die Weiterentwicklung der ganzen Software-Branche. Und wir finden, Wissen sollte man teilen.

Data governance in a data mesh world - dream or reality? Panel discussion
Please sing up on our official event page with this Link !
----------
Make governance a reality in a decentralized data landscape
About the evening
As organizations increasingly embrace the data mesh approach to overcome the limitations of monolithic data architectures, a pressing question emerges: can robust data governance thrive in this new paradigm, or is it merely an elusive dream?
Hear from data experts from BASF, Mobile.de, Zalando and Thoughtworks as they tackle the complexities of data governance within a data mesh framework. We'll explore the challenges, opportunities, and practical strategies involved. Expect real-world case studies and expert insights on achieving sustainable and scalable data governance in this environment.
Key Takeaways:
- The role of governance in a decentralized data mesh model.
- How to balance autonomy and accountability across data domains.
- Best practices for federated data governance at scale.
- Driving cultural change and data team collaboration.
This session provides data leaders, architects, and practitioners with actionable strategies to build a resilient data governance framework for the modern data mesh. Learn how to make governance a reality in a decentralized data landscape.

-----
About the eveningIt's been awhile since we did EventStorming, but now it's time to get back to our roots. For this session, we will begin an exploration of the Software Design format of this workshop style. Get ready to break up your timelines, crack open some whiteboxes, and figure out what exactly an aggregate is.
Despite the name, you don't need to be a software engineer to participate. You only need to care passionately about getting things right!This is a hands-on workshop. Everyone is welcome to join us, but be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Or at least help us move some chairs. Looking forward to seeing you there!
