AWS User Group Berlin Session - April 2026
Dear Community,
Another month with two great talks in the agenda. This time we are meeting at our home **NLND Berlin**, with one talk covering AWS AgentCore while the second one about Redshift Data sharing.
===================================================
18:30 - Warming up and networking chat
18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & NLND
19:00 - 19:40 - **Gamei Chin & Milad Rezaeighale // The Diabetes Sweet Spot: Using AWS AgentCore to Empower Data-driven Lifestyle Decisions**
This session is about building production-ready agentic workflows with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—from running agents securely at scale on a managed Runtime, to exposing and orchestrating tools via AgentCore Gateway (including MCP-based tooling), adding different types of memory for context and personalization, and enforcing security and governance with Identity and Policy for controlled tool access.
It ends with a live demo of a practical use case: an agentic app for glucose monitoring, showing the end-to-end workflow and monitoring in action.
19:40 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks
20:00 - 20:40 - **Jirka Hubacek // Breaking Down Monolithic Redshift Using Data Shares**
As data platforms scale, managing competing workloads in Amazon Redshift becomes increasingly challenging. Traditional WLM (Workload Management) often isn’t enough to effectively prioritize traffic — you end up facing a classic “chicken and egg” problem: should ETL pipelines or client-facing queries get priority?
With the introduction of Redshift Data Sharing, there’s now a more flexible approach — you can create multiple Redshift instances that consume data from a shared source, isolating workloads without duplicating storage.
20:40 - 20:45 - Closing & Final Remarks
===================================================
**Very Important: There is no "waitlist" for our regular sessions.** However, there are limited seats available. If you want to make sure you can attend:
Register yourself with your "full name" here at meetup.com
Arrive on time - seats are first come, first serve.

Terrible Football (Tuesday). Shoes with studs are not allowed
Welcome to Terrible Football Berlin!
Do you want to play football but don't want to pay? Are you a bit unfit, a bit old, or a bit Terrible? Want to have a relaxed kick about and a couple of beers after? Then Terrible Football is for you!
Anyone can play: any ability, any age, and any gender. Terrible Football is about miss kicked clearances, sweet half volleys and desperate diving saves. We play in the rain, sun or snow. It's completely free, and always will be. It's open, inclusive and Terrible.
We usually play on Astro (artificial grass) and sometimes on grass, depending on numbers. Bibs, balls, and cones are taken care of! Just bring sporty clothes and a pair of rubber studded football shoes you'll be good to go! You don't need shin pads and we don't allow hard plastic or metal studs.

Tantric Date Night - Tantra workshop for couples
! All sessions in English except for 17.02, 24.02 & 21.03 - these sessions will be in German !
Wanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship?
Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you.
Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness.
Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with.
**What to expect:**
* **Discourse, demo practice and Q&A**: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions
* **Tantra meditation practice**: presence, movement, sound and breath
* **Sharing before and after practice**: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience
* **Cozy studio setting**: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment
* **No partner-exchange:** practice only with your partner
* **Fully clothed:** you may keep your clothes on during the entire practice
**What to bring:**
* Wear comfortable clothing
* Water bottle to stay hydrated
**Tickets:** 65€ per couple.
Please purchase your ticket via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/tickets?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=datenight)
**Location:**
Praxis Köpi
Köpenicker Straße 175
10997 Berlin Kreuzberg
Walk to the second courtyard and take the stairs to the front door on the left.

**!! Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time !!**
Once we start the session, I can’t let you in anymore because it disturbs the class. Please do yourself and the group a favour by coming on time. Thank you!
**Workshop facilitator**
Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world.
I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.

⚠️ *Limited to 20 participants*

Hosting CCB - Unser Erfahrungsbericht zum Estuarine Mapping
Estuarine Mapping ist ein mächtiges Werkzeug aus dem Cynefin-Ökosystem, um strategische Entscheidungen in komplexen Umfeldern zu navigieren – aber wie sieht das konkret aus, wenn man es zum ersten Mal in einer Organisation einsetzt?
Wir haben Estuarine Mapping selbst durchgeführt und dabei wertvolle Einblicke gewonnen: Was hat gut funktioniert? Wo sind wir an unsere Grenzen gestoßen? Und welche Fragen haben sich erst im Prozess aufgetan?
Beim diesem Meetup teilen wir unsere Erfahrungen aus der Praxis – ungeschönt und ehrlich. Kein perfekter Case Study, sondern ein offener
ACHTUNG: Anmeldung über das [Meetup der CyCoBe](https://www.meetup.com/cynefin-community-berlin/events/313817652/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=206720451)
Austausch über das, was wir gelernt haben und was uns noch beschäftigt.
Was dich erwartet:
* Ein kurzer Einblick in unsere Estuarine-Mapping-Session und den Kontext
* Konkrete Learnings und Herausforderungen, die wir mitgenommen haben
* Offene Diskussion: Wie geht ihr mit ähnlichen Situationen um?
* Raum für Fragen, Ideen und gemeinsames Weiterdenken
Ob du Estuarine Mapping bereits kennst oder erst neugierig geworden bist – komm vorbei. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit Menschen, die sich für Complexity Thinking, Cynefin und strategisches Navigieren in unklaren Situationen interessieren.
