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. She also leads the Berlin/Brandenburg JUG together with Jörg, Oliver and Jan. **Andreas Voigt** is a Principal Software Architect at adesso SE. He has extensive experience in identifying and addressing architecture antipatterns. Andreas has spoken at several notable conferences, including JavaLand. He is dedicated to expanding the knowledge and application of architecture antipatterns within the community. **A big thank you to adesso SE** for hosting the event and generously providing food and drinks during the event. Your innovative approach and commitment to excellence are greatly appreciated!

Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park. 💡 How it works The event is split into two parts: 1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question. 2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. 💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024
