**The AWS Women’s User Group Berlin** is thrilled to invite you to our upcoming meetup sponsored by Storm Reply focused on **Building production-ready AI agents for real-world impact.** Join us for a deep dive into how to build, observe, and evaluate AI agents at scale. You’ll also see how these ideas come to life in a real-world climate-smart agriculture solution that turns weather forecasts into actionable field guidance. Whether you’re building agentic systems today or planning what comes next, this meetup will give you practical insights into making AI agents work in production. **Speaker Info** **Keynote Talk** **Speaker:** Tetiana Senna **Position:** Team Lead / Senior Project Manager, Storm Reply **Talk Title:** Trust, but Verify: Observability and Evaluations for AWS Agents **Abstract:** Getting an AI agent to work in a demo is easy. Knowing whether it still works in production - after the next prompt change, the next model upgrade, the next edge case - is the hard part. Unit tests don't cover non-deterministic behavior, and manually reviewing a handful of runs doesn't scale. This talk walks through the two practices that close that gap: observability (understanding what actually happened inside your agent) and evaluation (deciding whether the outcome was any good). We'll dig into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's Observability and Evaluations capabilities, compare the proven evaluation approaches - built-in LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators for automatic quality monitoring, and custom evaluators for business-specific correctness checks - with a candid look at what each one is good for, where it falls short, and what it costs to run at scale. We'll also take a close look at AgentCore Optimization, AWS's newly previewed feature in this space. **Applied Agentic AI Talk** **Speakers:** **Vidhu Mitra Malladi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming **Chamika Hasanthi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming **Talk Title:** Weather Risk Intelligence Agent for farmers & Agronomist Abstract: Unpredictable weather events — heavy rainfall, drought, frost, and heatwaves pose significant risk to crop yield and fertilizer efficiency. While forecast data is widely available, it is rarely translated into timely; field-level guidance farmers can act upon. Using AWS AgentCore framework and AI capabilities, we can turn weather predictions into clear agronomic actions, supporting climate-smart agriculture at scale. **You'l learn:** * Implementation of the solution using AWS Agent Core framework * Architecture of the project. 🗓️ **Event Details:** \- Date: Tuesday\, June 30th \- Venue: Storm Reply GmbH\, [address](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Storm+Reply+GmbH/@52.5012692,13.368852,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47a851119af460c5:0x35e34ba578e8b1ec!8m2!3d52.5012692!4d13.368852!16s%2Fg%2F11gg9298pv?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \- Time: 06:00 PM \- 9:00 PM Doors open at 6:00 PM Food & drinks will be provided. 📋 **Program Schedule:** **18:00** \- Registration and Welcome Networking **18:20** \- AWS Women's User Group Welcome **18:30** \- "Trust\, but Verify: Observability and Evaluations for AWS Agents" **Speaker:** Tetiana Senna, Team Lead / Senior Project Manager, Storm Reply A practical session for anyone working with AI agents on AWS who wants the confidence to put them in front of real users.

**Film Night – Living Legend Series: Wieland Speck** For **LGBTQIA+** **[Free with registration](https://wearevillage.org/shop/village-film/w27-2026)** Guest: ***Marcelo Alves*** **Living Legend Series: Wieland Speck** Intro: 20:00 Screening starts at 20:15 “Bei uns Zu Hause - Chez Nous” 35 min or TBD “David Montgomery und Ich” 16 min “Zimmer 303” 16 min (In German with English subtitles) Although “Legendary” and “iconic” are overused in queer-speak, sometimes the terms fit the person, as it does for this month’s Film night. Join us for a rare opportunity to speak with Wieland Speck, one of queer cinemas “legends” about his own work as a director and his influence on queer cinema as chief curator and head of the prestigious Panorama section of the Berlinale film festival. Typically out of the public eye, his most celebrated work “Westler” is often shown as an example of queer cinema out of Germany, so to have him select from his body of work will give us an insider’s perspective on his intentions as a director and what is conveyed to the audience. For the discussion we will explore particular themes in his films, his influence on the industry and his role in launching directors to the world stage. Please join us in honouring one of the living legends of queer cinema, the iconic Wieland Speck. **About the Village Film Night** Film Night is a monthly event that explores the wide world of queer cinema and beyond. Our selections cover a range of genres and styles, from film history classics to the latest in young queer cinema. Each screening is an opportunity to discover new narratives and voices, engaging with stories that challenge norms and celebrate diversity.

(Auf Deutsch mit englischen Untertiteln) Obwohl „legendär“ und „ikonisch“ im queeren Sprachgebrauch oft überstrapaziert werden, gibt es Momente, in denen diese Begriffe wirklich passen – so auch bei der diesmonatigen Filmnacht. Begleitet uns zu einer seltenen Gelegenheit, mit Wieland Speck ins Gespräch zu kommen, einer der „Legenden“ des queeren Kinos. Wir sprechen mit ihm über seine eigene Arbeit als Regisseur sowie über seinen Einfluss auf das queere Kino als Chefkurator und Leiter der renommierten Panorama-Sektion der Berlinale. Meist eher im Hintergrund tätig, wird sein bekanntestes Werk „Westler“ häufig als Beispiel für queeres Kino aus Deutschland gezeigt. Umso spannender ist es, dass er selbst eine Auswahl aus seinem Œuvre präsentiert und uns damit eine Insider-Perspektive auf seine Intentionen als Regisseur und die Wirkung auf das Publikum ermöglicht. Im anschließenden Gespräch widmen wir uns zentralen Themen seiner Filme, seinem Einfluss auf die Branche sowie seiner Rolle dabei, Regisseur\*innen auf die internationale Bühne zu bringen. Kommt vorbei und ehrt mit uns eine der lebenden Legenden des queeren Kinos – den ikonischen Wieland Speck. **Über die Filmnacht am Village** Die monatliche Filmnacht von we are village hat sich zu einem Muss für Cineasten entwickelt, die eine Auswahl an beliebten Klassikern genießen wollen.

**Landlords Meetup: The Rental Agreement – How to Properly Rent Out an Apartment** With a **specialized real estate lawyer** and the Black Label Properties team. Renting out an apartment in Berlin has become increasingly complex. From legally compliant rental agreements and tenant selection to regulations around rent increases and liability risks, many landlords underestimate how important the legal framework really is until problems arise. In this meetup, we focus on one of the most critical aspects of successful renting: **the rental agreement itself**. Together with an **experienced real estate lawyer**, we’ll discuss what landlords need to pay attention to when **renting out property** in today’s market, which clauses matter, where common **legal mistakes occur**, and how to protect yourself as an owner from **avoidable risks**. Rather than theory, this session is designed to give landlords practical clarity on what actually matters in **real-world rental situations**, from contracts and compliance to long-term security as a property owner. **Join us for an evening of practical insights, open discussion, and high-level networking with landlords, investors, and property owners at the Black Label Villa.**

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period.

Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet. Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/
