Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
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!\* \| \| \| \|
Berlin Cybersecurity Social #24
Berlin Cybersecurity Social #24
**THE EVENT IS AT FULL CAPACITY.** **Attendance is only possible if you signed up on our Luma event page and you received confirmation of attendance (not waitlisted).** This session is part of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social community’s monthly meetup, where security professionals, leaders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge and connect. So are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further! **Cyber Risk in Banking & Finance: Regulation, Reality, and Measurement (Roundtable & Lightning Talk)** ​Ever wondered what is really happening in banking and finance when it comes to cybersecurity regulation, risk, and board-level accountability? ​Join the Berlin Cybersecurity Social community at the **Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Centre** for an evening focused on how cyber risk is understood, measured, and communicated inside some of the most highly regulated organisations in the world. ​This month’s edition brings together senior security leaders from banking and fintech sectors for an open discussion and lightning talk on cyber risk, decision-making, and operating security programs in complex, regulated environments. ​**🔹 Roundtable Discussion - 45 mins** ​The evening will open with a roundtable conversation featuring: * ​Deputy CISO from **Deutsche Bank** Carsten Fischer * ​CISO of **N26** Reinhold Wochner * ​CSO of **Upvest** Sebastien Jeanquier ​The discussion will explore how security leaders assess and manage risk, align cybersecurity with business priorities, and communicate effectively with executive leadership and boards. ​**🎤 Lightning Talk 1 - 30 Mins** ​**Cyber Risk Quantification: From Theory to Practice** **Dr. Sybe Izaak Rispens** ​Traditional cybersecurity metrics often fail to express risk in business terms. This session explores how cyber threats can be translated into financial impact using quantitative frameworks such as FAIR. Dr. Rispens will walk through practical steps including identifying critical assets, estimating loss event frequency and magnitude, and using simulations to support decision-making. ​Drawing on real-world experience from financial institutions, including leadership roles at **Klarna AB** and **Trade Republic Bank**, the talk shows how cyber risk quantification helps security teams prioritize investments, justify budgets at board level, and integrate cybersecurity into enterprise risk management. ​ ​**🎤 Lightning Talk 2 - 30 mins** **​Entropy and Empathy: Applying Technical Writing Principles to Cybersecurity** **Dustin Smith – DB Security Strategy and Frameworks** ​Despite significant investment in cybersecurity technologies, many successful cyber-attacks still originate from human behavior rather than technical failure. This talk explores why traditional, information-based security awareness programs often fail to translate into secure behavior, and why cybersecurity culture should be understood as a behavioral and organizational change, not just a compliance or training exercise. Drawing on insights from behavioral economics, psychology, and real-world breach data, it highlights how attackers exploit human decision-making habits and social dynamics, and why simply knowing the “right thing” is rarely enough. ​The presentation introduces a transformational approach to cybersecurity culture that focuses on shaping behavior, norms, and shared responsibility across the organization, especially under pressure and during incidents. It connects cybersecurity culture to cyber resilience, a critical concern for financial institutions, and examines how these challenges are amplified in the AI era, where attacks are faster, more convincing, and more personalized. The goal is to offer a practical, strategic perspective on how financial institutions can move beyond awareness and compliance toward sustainable, human-centered security. *** ​As always, expect thoughtful discussion, practical insights, and meaningful connections with peers from across the Berlin cybersecurity community. **About Berlin Cybersecurity Social:** This meetup is open to cybersecurity professionals of all levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your journey in the field, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for cybersecurity.

Exploring The Inner Commons - workshop, personal sustainability
Exploring The Inner Commons - workshop, personal sustainability
Talk & Workshop - **Exploring The Inner Commons** a deep dive into personal sustainability by Scott Bolden, Founder of Baumhaus Berlin Workshop from 18:30 - 20:00 If you really want to make the world a better place then a great place is to start with yourself because no matter where you go or what you do, you can not escape yourself... Besides, doesn't it make sense that a truly sustainable society would be composed of more balanced individuals? **The Inner Commons is an intuitively understandable, flexible and contextual framework** developed by Scott Bolden that can be used to catalyze a process of self understanding and resolving common issues we all deal with. The concepts discussed in this workshop are based on simple, root level, universal experiences of the human condition and a bit of common sense. Because of this, insights that participants gain about themselves can also provide insights to understanding and resolving issues with others as well. Requirements: comfortable clothing, a notebook and an open mind... Please confirm participation with a short email to info@baumhausberlin.de with the subject: Inner Commons Donate-as-you-feel after the workshop (includes coffee, tea, water & snacks) We ask participants to consider: • their personal budget • the value of their experiences during the workshop in the Baumhaus • the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences \-\-\-\-\- support Baumhaus crowdfunding campaign ( https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus ) Baumhaus Berlin Gerichtstr. 23 VH Eg 13347 Berlin

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. 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** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
