It's our 3rd event in our 10th year (!!) and we are looking forward to seeing how the team shapes the event! **Theme & Host:** Head to our **LSLab Calendar on [LUMA](https://luma.com/vs42c5uc)** to find out the theme and the string of structures. Because the volunteers who sign up for the Design Team are meeting in a few weeks, we will share through email the theme and structures then! **What Happens at an LSLab?** Every Lab includes: ✔️ Networking & connecting ✔️ Giving and Getting Help ✔️ A thoughtfully designed Liberating Structures “string.” ✔️ Action planning We don’t do long debriefs during the session, on purpose. LSLab is a practice space, mostly for the Design Team, and the participant, you, learn by doing! By participating. By seeing what it’s like to be part of the collective intelligence. Questions are welcome during the break and after we close. **New to Liberating Structures?** Totally fine. You don’t need experience. We’re a mix of beginners, experienced facilitators, agilists, OD/L&D folks, coaches, leaders, and curious humans who want better collaboration. You’ll learn by being part of it. **Language** Intro and instructions are in English. Small group work can happen in whatever language works for you. Mark your calendar. Come practice. Bring your curiosity. [See you on LUMA - register](https://luma.com/p4ondqgt) there to be part of the next LSLab Berlin! Sylvia \*If you are facing financial hardship or have been laid off, we'll waive your fee. Just reach out to us and let us know. We want you to be able to contribute and connect with us!

Communicative, collaborative and creative drawing sessions. Participants draw a central still-life that the group can create themselves until the music track finishes and then pass it to the person on their left. The drawings change hands 3 to 5 times and the end results are always inspiring. After the collaborative warm-up participants can work individually on printing techniques, Mono -printing, tetra-pack or gelli. -printing. Feel free to try out a process that you are unfamiliar with. There will always be somebody to offer advice if necessary Bring A4 paper, and favourite materials, pencils & brushes. You can also use some studio materials in exchange for a small contribution. A fun but informative approach with consistently creative results!

**Join us for our next Machine Learning in Healthcare meetup in Berlin — proudly sponsored by the QUEST Centre!** Pizza is still back! Yes, we fought for it in 2025, and we continue to do so in 2026. Come hungry. We are very happy to announce our speaker **Prof. Grégoire Montavon**, who is a Professor at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin at the Institute of AI in medicine (IKIM) and a Research Group Lead in the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD). He received a Master's degree in Communication Systems from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 2009 and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from the Technische Universität Berlin in 2013. His research focuses on methods and applications of Explainable AI (XAI). A particular goal is to develop approaches that integrate well with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) models used in medical diagnosis and research, so that these models can be verified and explored for insights. **His talk´s title is:** **Tackling Imperfect Data Environments via Robust and Explainable AI** **Abstract:** In this talk, I will present novel techniques for learning in imperfect data environments, specifically addressing challenges such as mislabeling and spurious correlations. Central to these new approaches is the design of new loss functions and Explainable AI techniques that can isolate artifact-inducing components during or after training, allowing them to be systematically removed from the final model. *** 📍 **Location:** “Atrium” conference room, 5th floor, Spreepalais, Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin 🕕 **Doors open at 6:00 pm** — Talks start **at 7:00 pm!** * 6:00–7:00 pm — Arrival, food, and networking * 7:00 pm — Welcome by the hosts, followed by the talk + Q&A * 8:00 pm — More networking (and possibly more pizza) ⚠️ *Pro tip:* Sometimes only one of the four elevators is working! 📢 **IMPORTANT:** If you RSVP but later realize you can’t make it, *please release your spot* so others can join. *** This meetup is made possible with the kind support of the **QUEST Centre for Responsible Research at BIH**, who are providing both the venue and the delicious refreshments. We look forward to seeing you there!x

AI is rapidly changing how work gets done. Tasks that used to require experience, facilitation, or coordination can now be supported, or even replaced, by tools. So what does that mean for roles like Scrum Master or Agile Coach? * Will these roles disappear? * Will they evolve? * Or are we asking the wrong question entirely? This meetup is not a talk. It’s a **fishbowl discussion**. An interactive format where you can actively shape the conversation. 🧠 **What we’ll explore** Together, we’ll dive into questions like: * Which parts of our roles are already being automated? * Where do Agile Coaches struggle to create real impact today? * What skills might become obsolete? * What new capabilities might become critical? 🎤 **Format** * Short framing to set the stage * You bring your questions and perspectives * We collect key topics from everyone * Open fishbowl discussion (5 chairs, dynamic participation) * Moderated by Robert Briese, CEO Lean Sherpas GmbH You can jump in, leave your seat, and contribute at any time. 👥 **Who this is for** * Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches * People working in or transitioning into agile roles * Anyone questioning the future of their role 💡 **Why join** Most AI discussions stay at the level of tools or fear. This session is about **making sense of what it actually means for you**. Btw: This meetup is part of a 3-part series leading up to a special event with the author of *10xOrg* in June.

Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park. 💡 How it works The event is split into two parts: 1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question. 2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. 💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile).
