AWS Women's User Group Berlin: June Event - AI Agents in Production
**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.

AI in Retail: Agentic Operations & Commerce – Expert Group Meetup #2
## AI IN RETAIL: AGENTIC OPERATIONS & COMMERCE
Die Expert Group „AI in Retail“ bietet Entscheidungsträger:innen aus Handel, Konsumgüterbranche und Technologie eine Plattform für regelmäßigen Austausch – vom Use Case zum Business Case.
Unser zweites Treffen steht im Zeichen von „Agentic AI im Handel“ – und wir beleuchten das Thema aus zwei Perspektiven: Wie setzt ihr selbst KI-Agenten in euren Prozessen ein, um operative Abläufe end-to-end zu übernehmen und Kosten zu senken? Und was bedeutet es, wenn Agenten bald auch von außen auf euer Unternehmen zugreifen, einkaufen oder euch als Kanal umgehen? Konkret, praxisnah und interaktiv – mit Impulsen, Workshops und dem Austausch mit Branchenkolleg:innen und führenden Expert:innen.
Lösungen für heute. Strategien für morgen.
Bitte geben Sie uns bis zum 25.06. Bescheid, ob Sie dabei sein werden. Die Teilnahme ist kostenfrei & bedarf der Bestätigung durch den KI Park.

Square Tomatoes and Robot Bees - Who decides?
You don't have to sign up-just stop by. Tea, coffee, water, beer, wine, and pizza will be available throughout the evening.
---
--
Most conversations about AI skip the part that is crucial: **who it's built for, who pays for it, and who doesn't get a say**.
This evening goes exactly there.
We start in 1960s California, where scientists bred a new kind of tomato: square, hard, machine-ready, and wiped out 82% of the state's tomato farms in the process. Farmworkers and small farmers sued the university behind the technology, arguing they were being forced to fund their own replacement. They lost. But the questions they raised never went away.
Today, researchers are using AI, robotics and gene editing to create tomatoes that can be pollinated by robots, crops designed for automated production systems, and even new traits engineered for consumer preferences. AI is having an impact on agriculture, food production, and labour, often with public money, rarely with public input. Sounds familiar?
**What to expect**
A 90-minute interactive evening:
* **Opening talk** connecting the tomato harvester story to today's AI developments
* **Live audience polling**
* Conversation with **Ildi Carlisle-Cummins** (California Institute for Rural Studies): storyteller, oral historian, and director of the Cal Ag Roots project, one of the organisations that grew out of the original lawsuit
* Open audience **discussion**
* **Informal networking** to close
**What you'll take away**
A sharper way to think about who controls the technologies influencing our food, our work, and our world, and what citizens can actually do when change feels inevitable.
If the phrase "square tomato" sounds too strange to be true, you're not alone. Even the TV detective [Mr. Monk couldn't believe his eyes](https://youtu.be/VtO-97pl7cA?is=VnMxtacAwL1IChub)!
**Free to attend, free of jargon, no expertise required.**
**Just bring your curiosity.**
*Hosted by [Save Our Seeds](http://www.saveourseeds.org/?utm_source=luma) and [Human-Future-Hub](https://humanfuturehub.org/?utm_source=luma) Berlin*
Tea, coffee, water, beer, wine, and pizza will be available throughout the evening.
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.

Monthly Book Club Meeting - July
Dear Book Enthusiasts,
For our July gathering, we’ll be reading ***Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas*** by the Brazilian writer **Machado de Assis**.
Originally published in 1881, this witty and remarkably modern novel is narrated by Brás Cubas himself — from beyond the grave. Through irony, sharp social observation, and playful philosophical reflections, Machado de Assis creates a narrator who looks back on his life, ambitions, failures, and the society around him with both humor and melancholy. Considered one of the great classics of Brazilian literature, the novel feels surprisingly contemporary in its style and spirit.
**📅 Date & Time: Sunday, 05.07.2026 at 14:00**
**📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin**
**💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after** **the meeting helps cover organization costs**
As I mentioned in earlier announcements, due to personal reasons I will not be able to attend a few upcoming meetings. A friend of mine, who also happens to be a great book enthusiast, kindly agreed to moderate and host the gathering during my absence. I truly hope you’ll join me in giving Tereza a very warm welcome and your support.
I’m very much looking forward to hearing all about your discussion and to gathering together again soon.
Warmly,
Sofya

What Rich Families Teach Their Kids About Money
Most families work hard for years yet still struggle financially because they were never taught the principles of building, protecting, and transferring wealth. While schools teach people how to earn money, very few teach how to make money grow, protect income, reduce financial stress, and create long-term stability for future generations.
In this exclusive Private Financial Blueprint Session, licensed financial professional Sandy Osei will walk attendees through practical financial concepts and strategies commonly used by financially successful families. This workshop is designed to help individuals and families better understand how money works and how to make smarter financial decisions in today’s economy.
During this live online session, participants will learn:
• The financial habits wealthy families teach their children early
• Common money mistakes that keep families financially stuck
• How to protect income and prepare for unexpected life events
• Strategies to begin building long-term wealth and financial security
• Ways to create more financial freedom, options, and stability for future generations
• Important financial concepts many people were never taught in school
This is not just another motivational webinar. The session is focused on education, real-life application, and actionable steps attendees can begin implementing immediately.
Because this is a private session, seating is limited and available by application only. The workshop is open to serious applicants located in the United States and Canada who are ready to improve their financial future and gain valuable financial knowledge.
Whether you are starting your financial journey, trying to break generational cycles, or looking for better strategies for your family’s future, this workshop was created to provide clarity, education, and empowerment.
Date: July 1st
Time: 7 PM EST
Location: Live on Zoom

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner 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. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. 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 DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm 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 are 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 those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
