đ
Date: 6th May, 2026
đ Time: 6:00 PM
đ Join us in Berlin (Better Space) & Online
Letâs connect, learn, and shape the next chapter of last-mile logistics together.
In this #12th edition, we explore the AI-Powered Autonomous Parcel Journey - from Depot to Doorstep. Together, weâll trace how a fully automated last-mile delivery system comes to life: AI-driven route design and agentic dispatching by **Bettermileâs Better Planner,** **Neolixâs autonomous delivery vehicles** handling the final stretch, and intelligent warehouse automation powered by **Flinkâs Robotics**.
Expect honest conversations, live demonstrations, and a comprehensive overview of how automation and intelligence are reshaping parcel logistics and the future of last-mile delivery.
Note: Photographs and video recordings will be made during the event for documentation and promotional purposes. If you prefer not to appear in any visual material, you can participate online without being recorded.
Looking forward to seeing you there and sharing insights that matter!

SU&W In-person Mitte
Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 10:15.
For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. We are typically by the large windows facing the U-Bahn entrance.
If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome.
In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw

Laugh without Reason Event (DE/EN)
Important information: The event will always take place regardless of how many people attend the meetup. There is always a second laughter yoga conductor (Heidi) and a couple of other regulars who don't use Meetup.
Laughter Yoga is a unique concept that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing to promote wellness and overall happiness. You will learn how to laugh without reason. The event is perfect for anyone looking to de-stress, boost their mood, and connect with others in a light-hearted and fun way. You don't need any yoga experience, just the willingness to laugh.
**Do I need special clothing?**
* Just wear comfortable clothes. Please bring some thick socks or clean shoes for the room.
**Do I need anything else?**
* It is essential to stay hydrated. **Please bring some water**.
* Comfortable clothes. Thick socks or clean shoes for the room.
* An open mind.
**Is it free?**
* Participation costs 5âŹ. Alternatively, you can use Urban Sports Club. These costs are mainly used to cover rent for the room, meetup fees, website, insurance, flyers, etc.
* Link for Urban Sports Club (USC): https://urbansportsclub.com/de/venues/laughter-yoga-club-kreativhaus
**What does an event look like?**
* We incorporate laughter exercises, breathing exercises, playful exercises, positive affirmations, and dancing. The event ends with a laughter meditation of \~ 15 minutes.
**What if I can't laugh?**
* Everything is voluntary. If you can't laugh, you can simulate it, and usually, people get into genuine laughter during the sessions. Laughter yoga is a great way to laugh more, to laugh deeper, and more frequently!
**How many people show up?**
* Usually, the group size is between 7 and 20 people. Regardless how many people sign up via meetup, the event will always take place. Many people don't sign up via meetup.
**Where is it?**
* It's close to U2 Märkisches Museum. The Kreativhaus Berlin Mitte has one entrance. Please be there 5 minutes before we start. After 7 pm, it might be closed, and you either have to ring the bell or go around the house and watch out for the yellow smiley flag. The session takes place in "Projektraum 2/3".
Sessions are either in German or English. We always make sure that everyone understands it.

VraÄamo se sa 7. okupljanjem ljudi iz sveta tehnologije i preduzetniĹĄtva iz bivĹĄe Jugoslavije (ex-YU), u organizaciji [NemaÄkog kutka](https://nemackikutak.com/) i [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/).
DogaÄaj se odrĹžava na engleskom jeziku i otvoren je za sve - bilo da dolazite iz regiona ili ste deo ĹĄire zajednice.
**\# Datum i lokacija**
⢠Sreda, 6. maj 2026
⢠cognee.ai â Prilaz 4, 1. sprat, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39â40
⢠PoÄetak: 18:00
**\# PredavaÄi i teme**
Dva predavanja. Jedna osnivaÄka priÄa. Jedan ozbiljan pogled na veĹĄtaÄku inteligenciju. Sirovo, bez ulepĹĄavanja.
**Milica T. JovanoviÄ** je senior istraĹživaÄ korisniÄkog iskustva sa viĹĄe od dve decenije iskustva u dizajnu, istraĹživanju i razvoju proizvoda. Bavi se razumevanjem stvarnog ponaĹĄanja korisnika i pretvaranjem uvida u bolje odluke u razvoju proizvoda, uz poseban fokus na ulogu veĹĄtaÄke inteligencije u istraĹživanju.
U ovom predavanju, Milica govori o tome da li veĹĄtaÄka inteligencija treba da zameni istraĹživaÄe korisniÄkog iskustva â gde daje rezultate, gde ne i ĹĄta se usput gubi. TakoÄe Äe pokazati kako se veliki jeziÄki modeli mogu koristiti u istraĹživanju bez stvaranja laĹžnog oseÄaja sigurnosti.
⢠**Tema:** IstraĹživaÄ vs. maĹĄina: Da li veĹĄtaÄka inteligencija moĹže da zameni istraĹživanje korisniÄkog iskustva?
**Jovan StevoviÄ** je izvrĹĄni direktor i suosnivaÄ kompanije Chino.io. Ĺ˝ivi izmeÄu Italije i NemaÄke i radi u jednom od najzahtevnijih regulatornih okruĹženja â digitalno zdravstvo. Doktorirao je u oblasti inovacija u zdravstvu i ima viĹĄe od deset godina iskustva u industriji, radeÄi na preseku veĹĄtaÄke inteligencije, usklaÄenosti sa propisima i razvoja proizvoda.
U ovom predavanju, Jovan deli iskustvo izgradnje i prodaje kompanije. Od ideje, prvih odluka i obezbeÄivanja finansiranja do toga kako zaista izgledaju prodaje kompanija iza kulisa. Iskustvo iz prve ruke koje nijedna knjiga ne moĹže da prenese.
⢠**Tema:** Od nule do prodaje: realna slika preduzetniÄkog puta

We're back with the 7th gathering of builders, founders, and tech folks from the former Yugoslavia (ex-YU), organized by [NemaÄki kutak](https://nemackikutak.com/) and [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/).
The event is held in English and open to everyone - whether youâre from the region or just part of the broader scene.
**\# Date and Location**
* Wednesday, May 6, 2026
* cognee.ai - Courtyard 4, 1st Floor, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39-40
* Start: 18:00
**\# Speakers and topics**
**Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.**
**Milica T. JovanoviÄ** is a Senior UX Researcher with over two decades of experience across design, research, and product. She focuses on understanding real user behavior and turning insights into better product decisions, with a growing interest in the role of AI in research workflows.
In this talk, Milica explores whether AI should replace UX researchers: where it works, where it fails, and what gets lost along the way. She shares how to use LLMs in research without falling into the trap of false confidence.
* **Talk:** Researcher vs. The Machine: Should AI replace the UX researcher?
**Jovan StevoviÄ** is the CEO and co-founder of Chino.io, living between Italy and Germany and operating in one of the toughest regulatory environments: health tech. With a PhD in healthcare innovation and 10+ years in the industry, he operates at the intersection of AI, compliance, and product.
In this talk, Jovan shares a raw perspective on building and selling a business: from day zero decisions and fundraising to how exit deals are actually structured behind the scenes. First-hand experience no book can teach.
* **Talk:** Day Zero to Exit: The Founderâs Full Circle Reality Check
**\# Timetable**
* **18:00 - 18:30** Entry & networking

Evening Walk at Tempelhofer Feld â After Work Pilgrims
**After Work Pilgrims: Walk with intention.**
Berlin is demanding, and the day was long. And somewhere between finishing work and the night, there's a moment where we just need to breathe.
That's what After Work Pilgrims is for.
We walk together through the city â through parks in the middle of all the concrete â with intention. Just a few kilometres on foot: with silence, a short reflection, and good company.
It's more than a walk. But it doesn't feel like it.
Duration: approx\. 2 hours \| Distance: 4â7 km \| Free
No experience needed. Comfortable shoes recommended. Come as you are.

I WRITE â A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to writeâquietly, freely, and without judgement.
We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
Thereâs no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
đď¸ **Agenda:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **â** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)
* 15:00 - 16:00 **â** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged)
* 16:00â16:30 **â** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30â17:30 â 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30â18:00 â 30 mins of chat, and leaving
đ **Bring:**
* Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter⌠anything goes)
* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* Your current project or a blank page
* Yourself, exactly as you are
**đ Responsibility:**
* Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend.
**đLocation:**
* We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* đ U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* đ M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, Iâve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!

Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rßckmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das ZuhÜren.

Samstag, 9. Mai, 20-22 Uhr,
EINTRITT FREI
Wir wissen nicht, was im Verborgenen liegt, aber wir laden Euch ein, es mit uns zu ergrßnden. Wir, das Autorenforum Berlin e. V., präsentieren euch einen Abend mit Lesenden aus dem Kreis des Autorenforums und ihren Texten, in denen ßberbelichtet, Fragmente fixiert und das Alltägliche neu gerahmt wird.
Wir haben Texte fĂźr Euch gesucht, die wie LĂźcken in der Erinnerung klaffen oder behaupten, sie seien schon immer da gewesen. Es sind Texte, die aus dem Rahmen fallen, niemanden meinen und doch jeden treffen â gefunden im Rauschen einer fremden Cloud, zwischen den unkenntlich gemachten Zeilen gefundener Dateien. Es werden Konturen geschärft und HintergrĂźnde sichtbar gemacht. Kommt dazu, wenn wir Geschichten GehĂśr schenken, die das Verborgene hervortreten lassen, die unerbittlich in die Sichtbarkeit schneiden.

April book selection: The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
For our April gathering, let us delve into Rushdieâs âlargest aesthetic achievement,â according to Harold Bloom and what scholars describe as fundamentally a study of alienation and hybrid identity: The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie.
**About the Book**
*The Satanic Verses* is a complex, magical-realist novel that intertwines multiple storylines involving two Indian expatriates â **Gibreel Farishta**, a famous Bollywood actor, and **Saladin Chamcha**, an immigrant voice actor in Britain â who survive the mid-air bombing of a hijacked plane and fall into a surreal fantasy world. Their experiences blur dream and reality, exploring altered identities, spiritual visions, and personal transformations. One of the key narratives involves a mythical city and a prophet figure named **Mahound**, whose revealed âversesâ and tribal conflicts echo and reimagine early Islamic history in dream sequences that question faith, revelation, and authority.
**About the Author**
Salman Rushdie is a British-Indian novelist and essayist, born in 1947 in Bombay (now Mumbai), India.
He was educated in England and he rose to international prominence with *Midnightâs Children* (1981), a landmark novel combining history and magical realism to depict Indiaâs post-independence experience; it won the Booker Prize and is considered one of the most influential novels of the 20th century.
Rushdie is known for his imaginative prose, layered narratives, and exploration of themes such as identity, migration, cultural hybridity, and freedom of expression.
His 1988 novel *The Satanic Verses* brought worldwide attention and controversy, significantly affecting his life and career.
Despite these challenges, he has continued to produce acclaimed fiction and nonfiction, including *The Moorâs Last Sigh*, *Shalimar the Clown*, and the memoir *Knife* (2023), and is widely regarded as a major figure in contemporary world literature.
**About the Meeting**
We will approach the text thoughtfully and without preconceived agendas, experiencing it as a work of literature first and foremostâone that invites reflection, careful interpretation, and respect for diverse perspectives, without seeking to provoke controversy or advance any political or polemical stance.
**About the location**
It will be announced at least 2 days before the event takes place with all the details.
**Event contribution alert**
The event might require a small participation fee (3-5 euros) or the purchase of something to eat or drink in case we are hosted by a coffee shop. I will make sure to communicate that in advance.

Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community.
