Join us for a community-led developer event focused on **AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot**. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot. Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development hosted at **adesso SE**. **Sessions & Workshops** 1. **GitHub Copilot in practise - Sandra Ahlgrimm** 2. **Let's create a tiny AI library together, Copilot powered - Johannes Bechberger** 3. **GitHub Copilot Hands-on workshop - bring your laptops!** **Location** [Prinzenstraße 34, 10969 Berlin](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47a84e50ecd583e3:0xde16d03634776e3b?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **Agenda** 17:30 - doors open 18:00 - warm welcome by JUG leader **Sandra Ahlgrimm** and **Andreas Voigt** from **adessoSE** 18:15 - first session 18:40 - second session 19:30 - workshop **Abstracts** **Let's create a tiny AI library together, Copilot powered** We all want to do it. When you want to integrate AI into your tools, what do you do? You add LangChain4j or SpringAI and run with it. But do you know how these libraries interact with the AI service providers or your local llama-server instance? These libraries aren't magic, so let's peek behind the curtain and write a tiny AI library together. This way you'll discover the REST APIs that power it all. **Speaker** **Johannes Bechberger,** a nerd passionate about compiler building and program analyses that enjoys cooking and works on the JVM at SAP ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-bechberger-381296149)), making profiling easier for everyone. **Sandra Ahlgrimm** is Senior Developer Advocate working for Java Developers with Microsoft at GitHub.

Dear Community, Another month with an interesting talk right before Hamburg Summit, and we would like to hear your thoughts for the rest of the year and after. Will be pleased to have you with us on the evening! We have limited seats - 50 only - first come first served! Our dearest thanks to Lightspeed for hosting us on the evening! =================================================== 18:30 - Warming up and networking chat 18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin 19:00 - 19:40 - **Elias Abud // Delegated Access Management at Scale with AWS IAM Identity Center** This talk presents a delegation architecture that enables project owners and security stakeholders to manage their own users, groups, accounts, and permission sets while maintaining central governance. The solution introduces a unified API layer that can operate across multiple Identity Center instances and enforces organizational policies and quotas. It also applies the Backpressure Pattern to control request rates and protect Identity Center from overload. Participants will learn how to implement delegated identity management at scale while balancing autonomy for teams with centralized security oversight. 19:40 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks 20:00 - 20:40 - **AWS User Group - Ask Me Anything** We would like to dedicate the time and stage to you, our dearest community members to ask your questions, share your thoughts and ideas, provide feedback.
