This meetup hosted by **Venture Cafe Berlin** focuses on **Hiring/Job Hunting**. Job hunting in 2026 is brutal. Employers are chasing a "perfect candidate" that doesn't exist, while talented professionals who've spent years mastering their craft are suddenly expected to become expert job seekers overnight. It's a broken system. This workshop is for people who are done sending applications into the void and are ready to play the game strategically, without letting the process shake their confidence. Join **founders, investors, ecosystem builders, and curious minds** for open conversations, practical insights, and meaningful connections. **What to expect:** * **Info & Demo Tables (5:00–8:00 PM):** Discover startups, technologies, and ecosystem initiatives. * **Mentor Hours:** Guidance on public affairs, regulation, and government relations for startups. * **Workshops & Talks:** * *From Campus to Corporate: A Student Team's Take on Redesigning Employee Experience* * Audacity Builds Freedom * 90-Days to Hired: Smarter Job Hunting in Europe * **Networking & Beats:** Meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and connect in a relaxed atmosphere. Come learn, share, and connect with the **Berlin tech community**.

You can find more information here: [Digitale Leute Summit 2026](https://www.digitale-leute.de/summit/26/ "https://www.digitale-leute.de/summit/26/") **About Digitale Leute** Digitale Leute has always been about one thing: bringing together the people who shape digital products. The thinkers, the builders, the ones who care deeply about how technology is made and why it matters. Over the years, our community has grown – but we’ve missed the magic that only happens when you’re in the same room, sharing ideas, swapping stories, and sparking conversations that no Slack channel can replicate. So we decided: it’s time to bring our meetups back. **About SAP in Berlin** Located in the heart of European innovation, [SAP in Berlin](https://www.sap.com/germany/about/berlin.html "https://www.sap.com/germany/about/berlin.html") combines the power of a global company with the strength of a unique local ecosystem – we attract talent, shape SAP‘s image as a front-runner of innovation, and foster our position as market leader for enterprise application software in Berlin. Our location in Berlin offers a perfect meeting point for innovators and decision makers, while we stay on top of software trends and technologies to define their value for business and society.

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
