AWS User Group Berlin Session - May 2026
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**

GitHub Copilot Dev Day Berlin at adesso SE
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!**

**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.
**Gregor Böhme** is the Director of Software Development and Delivery Maître at adesso SE and leads a competence center for custom software development. He has many years of experience in building and delivering large-scale software projects, as well as developing teams and growing engineering leaders..
**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!

Offener Deutschunterricht - Text & Konversation - Niveau B2+ (Fortgeschritten)
In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

Access Bars - Ein Kurs nach dem Du schon immer gesucht hast?
Stell dir vor, die kritische Stimme in deinem Kopf, die dir einredet, du seist nicht gut genug oder könntest deine Träume nicht verwirklichen, verstummt. Dies geschieht auf wunderbare Weise durch das sanfte Berühren der Access Bars®-Punkte an deinem Kopf.
Die Anwendung der Bars® hat positive Auswirkungen auf nahezu alle Bereiche deines Lebens: von Körper und Beziehungen über Sexualität, Heilung und der Manifestation von Geld bis hin zur Lebensfreude, Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Kreativität. Limitierende Glaubenssätze werden auf sanfte Art und Weise aufgelöst, negative Emotionen in Kraft verwandelt. Die Wirksamkeit der Access Bars® bei Ängsten, Depressionen, ADHS und anderen psychosomatischen Symptomen ist wissenschaftlich belegt!
Du hast die Möglichkeit, die Access Bars bei dir selbst, deinen Liebsten und sogar bei Klienten anzuwenden. Möchtest du herausfinden, welche weiteren Veränderungen die Access Bars bewirken können?

Silent Reading Club
Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better!
It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading.
The usual agenda:
- Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes)
- Silent reading (~1 hour)
- Discussion (~30-40 minutes)
- Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like!
You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you!
No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

This page-turning party will unfold in the Café (1st floor) at the Bode Museum.
There's no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the cafe and don't bring any outside drinks :)
No quizzes, no pressure, no assigned books - just a group of book-loving souls basking in the beauty of silent reading.
**Our thrilling agenda:**
10:30 am - 11:00 am - Arrivals, ordering drinks/food (social time)
11:00 am - 12:00 pm - The Great Quiet Reading Hour (where silence is the star)
12:00 pm - 13:00 pm - Optional socializing, share your reading adventures or just keep exploring the pages
Stay for lunch, and who knows? You might just find your next favorite book over a pizza.
NB: If you plan to go for lunch, please consider bringing cash, as some restaurants only accept card payments after a certain amount.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Columbus Chess Club
This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
