Ready to turn your next big idea into a working product before the pizza gets cold? Vibe Coding Cologne is a high-energy evening where founders, product managers, marketers and developers learn to ship with AI-assisted speed.

Why join?
* Go from zero → MVP in hours. Spin up prototypes, landing pages and automations without hunting for a technical co-founder.
* Let AI handle the grunt work. Bug fixes, tests, docs and campaign personalisation run on autopilot, so you can stay in your creative zone.
* Real-world demos, not fluff. Watch live builds of customer-support bots, AI-powered marketing funnels and more — then try the tools yourself during networking.

Who’s it for?
* Founders cutting the cost and time to validate ideas.
* Product managers testing features with stakeholders today, not next sprint.
* Marketers launching personalised funnels at hyperspeed.
* Developers automating the boring stuff to focus on impact.

What’s happening?

• 18:30 – 19:00
  Doors Open – Grab a Drink, Meet Builders
  Pre-event mixer to connect with Cologne's builder community. The Zoom meeting also opens at 18:30 for online attendees.
• Ben Sufiani · 19:00 – 19:15
  From Web to App: Pirate Skills in Your Pocket

Ben opens the evening with a first look at the Pirate Skills app – events, sign-ups and the Captain, built for this community. He built it in a weekend, without being a developer, because the website was already made of actions that agents and apps can both use.

• Christina Röse · 19:15 – 19:30
  Vibe Coding My Own Wedding

Christina Röse isn't technical. She still vibe coded the landing page for her own wedding on bridesmaid.love, the agentic wedding planner she's building. What worked, where she got stuck, and what a non-developer needs to ship something real.

• Farzan Borhanazad · 19:30 – 19:45
  Agentic Design: From Vague Briefing to Finished Website

Farzan Borhanazad, who runs the German Vibe Code Awards, turns a vague briefing into a stunning website with AI in a few hours. He shows his setup and workflow – Codex, Claude and design skills – plus the tricks behind real brands, like swapping colors and fonts in seconds.

• Nurgul Aslan · 19:45 – 20:00
  Who Owns Your AI?

Most companies can't name the person responsible for AI – so the answer defaults to no. Nurgul Aslan of IADM shows the fix: list every AI tool, classify its risk, name an owner, train and document. What the EU AI Act asks of you, and what it doesn't.

• All Speakers · 20:00 – 20:30
  Open Q&A and Wrap Up

Your questions, your insights – from beginner to advanced, plus next event details and community updates.

• All of us · 20:30 – Open End

Drinks & Conversation
Good rum and good conversation – it's a Pirate Skills event
