Ideas

***🔗 Link to registration: [https://luma.com/s8mfiusl](https://luma.com/s8mfiusl)*** We’re excited to invite you to a special edition of our next meetup - for the first time ever, Product Management Society Berlin is teaming up with Miro 🤝 This session will explore a timely topic: the future of the design process in an era of rapidly increasing production speed. While some chief designers at major companies have declared the design process “dead” or no longer fit for today’s pace, others strongly disagree. What changes when prototypes can be created in minutes? What are the limits? What remains essential? In the first part, we’ll open the floor to different perspectives from across the room. In the second part, we’ll work together to explore and shape ideas for a more resilient design process. Whether you're a PM, designer, or simply curious, you’re very welcome to join the discussion and contribute your ideas. 👉 Spots are limited - register on Luma using the link above ^ Looking forward to seeing you there!

The next Pitch and Planning Session will be on:  **Tue. Apr. 21th at 19:00** **House of Music** **RAW Gelande** **Revalerstr 99,** **10245 Berlin** The event is on the ground floor, by the bar. This is a very large and amazing space that we are now calling home. We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world! Please note that this is a free event. In order to support the work we do, our community, and the lovely space that is gracious enough to let us hold events there, all we ask is that that you have 2 drinks of some kind or at least some snacks. That would help us out a lot!  For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made. If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality! This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you! Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit! If you still want more information you can head on over to our website: [https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/](https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExS253Rk1hTzRST21nNms2d3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR78aez-ccVasUCGpbvr5bZH6QOjgYIGgVBqwhpnHgimf4f7csTrjMQ1RbslLA_aem_3RG_oFQJj_ELRB-L0VCp5g) I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.

Abstract We ran everything in one Azure subscription. Leads and sales, installations and steering energy systems. Everyone had access. Most resources were created manually. It was unclear who owned what. As the tech org grew from 100 to 300 people, reinventing security and scaling individually stopped working. We'll cover how we approached platform building as gardeners rather than architects: observing what already works, replicating it, and letting rituals emerge before encoding them. We'll look at some mistakes we made along the way and what we learned from each. *Dayana Mick* **It works… but no one understands it: The hidden problem in DevOps** For several years, I kept asking the same question to senior developers, staff engineers, and mentors: “What is a build?” I rarely got a clear answer. Not because people didn’t know, but because the mental model had faded somewhere between Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and “just run this command.” At some point, I realized I could run pipelines, deploy services, and fix things just enough to move forward, but explaining what was actually happening was much harder. And I was not the only one. This talk is about a pattern I’ve seen across every company I’ve worked at. Systems that work, but are not really understood. Teams running platform commands from memory. Platform teams becoming bottlenecks. Incidents where even experienced engineers hesitate. And situations where people rely on tools without a clear sense of what is actually happening underneath. With AI, this is only accelerating. This is a talk for anyone who has ever copy-pasted a command, watched it work, and decided not to ask further questions. It is especially relevant for junior and mid-level engineers navigating DevOps complexity, and for teams who are trying to scale tooling without losing shared understanding.

But who is building it responsibly?** There's a gold rush happening in tech right now and almost everyone is caught up in the excitement. AI features are being shipped at a rapid speed, products are being "enhanced" with machine intelligence overnight, and the pressure to move fast has never been higher. But in the rush to innovate, some critical questions are getting buried: *Who's accountable when AI gets it wrong? How much should we hand over to automation and what do we silently lose when we do? And what are the risks we're not even seeing yet?* These aren't hypothetical concerns. They're live, urgent, and sitting inside the products we're building right now. **It's time to have the conversation that some teams are avoiding.** UXDX Berlin is back! Join us at the GetYourGuide office in Prenzlauer Berg, where we will tackle the theme that every designer, researcher, and engineer needs to reckon with: **"Designing Responsible AI: Trust, Autonomy & Hidden Risk"** **Why This Event Matters** The tools are powerful. The timelines are short. The consequences for users, for society, for trust in technology are long. If you're building products with AI, this isn't an optional conversation. It's the one you need to be in the room for. **Come ready to think. Come ready to question. Come ready to build better.** Thank you [GetYourGuide](https://www.getyourguide.com/) for supporting the event!

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

**Important! Please register on [Luma Page](https://luma.com/8d2zd6a6)** 🎤 **Calling everyone who wants to get better at presenting, thinking on the spot, and communicating ideas clearly.** Most of us have prepared presentations. But real life doesn’t always give you that luxury. Being able to **structure your thoughts quickly, explain ideas clearly, and stay confident in unpredictable situations** is a different skill. At this session, we’ll practice exactly that — in a format that’s structured, practical, and a bit chaotic (in the best way). If you want to get more comfortable presenting without overthinking, this event is for you. ## **We’ll work on:** * how to structure ideas clearly and quickly * how to present without a script * how to stay confident when you don’t fully know what’s coming * how to communicate in a way people actually follow **What to expect** We’ll start with a **simple, practical framework** for building clear and engaging presentations. Then we’ll break into smaller groups to **think, discuss, and prepare ideas together**. And then — **presentation karaoke**. You’ll get slides you’ve never seen before and present them on the spot. No preparation, no perfect script — just real-time thinking and communication. **Agenda** 18:00-18:30 — Arrivals & introduction 18:30-19:15 — Workshop & group work 19:15-20:30 — Presentation karaoke 20:30-21:00 — Networking **Who is this event for?** Anyone who wants to: * get better at presenting ideas * feel more confident speaking in front of others * practice thinking and communicating under pressure **Where & When?** 📍 **[SPICED Academy]()**, Ritterstraße 12-14, 10969 Berlin 📅 April 22, 2026 🕕 18:00 – 21:00 Spots are limited, so make sure to RSVP. **Important!

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
