Collaboration

Hola chicos, Moin zusammen, lasst uns Deutsch und Spanisch sprechen und ein paar Bier zusammen trinken, die Idee ist einfach und gut :) Bitte bringt zumindest basis Deutsch oder Spanisch Kenntnisse mit! Vamos a hablar español y alemán y tomar unas cervezas, la idea es simple y buena jaja. ¡Por favor, ven por lo menos con un nivel básico de español o alemán! Danke, gracias!

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

**Discover the joys of singing in a nurturing and supportive atmosphere at our new regular Wednesday singing class at b23 Space in Prenzlauer Berg. Guided by soprano and singing teacher Sarah McInerney, this class invites you to delve into the emotional and somatic aspects of your voice, fostering a sense of community and connection through the power of singing.** Our 75-minute sessions offer a blend of breathing exercises, visualizations, and improvisational activities designed to help you explore your voice in a relaxed, playful, and inclusive setting. The focus is on experiencing the sensations and emotions of singing rather than perfecting technique or striving for performance excellence. Join us on this vocal journey and experience the transformative power of singing, one note at a time. Open to anyone and any body. No previous voice training required! **Please book your spot before via:** [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/the-voice-lab-experiments-with-singing-tickets-747110847657), [Urban Sports Club](https://urbansportsclub.com/de/venues/b23-space-1?date=2025-07-17&service_type=1) or [EGYM Wellpass](https://egym-wellpass.com/int/gym-finder?n=b23+space). If you're feeling spontaneous, you can usually also drop-in and pay cash or via PayPal. Can't affort a regular ticket at the moment? Send a quick message to [hi@b23.space](hi@b23.space) and we'll find a solution.

Join us on **March 25** to learn how the **Superhuman Engineering team is building a CI/CD system that learns, adapts, and gets faster over time**. ✅ **To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/loqydsym Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered. Most teams treat their CI/CD pipeline as infrastructure that “just works”—until it doesn’t. Three Superhuman engineers share how they combined AI-driven automation, test-strategy overhauls, and infrastructure migration to build a pipeline that not only runs but also continuously improves itself. 🚀 [Dushan Terzikj](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dushanterzikj/) will share concrete examples of how the Grammarly Inkwell team reduced CI pipeline flakiness and duration—from parallelizing unit tests and migrating to Storybook, to switching from dedicated macOS runners to on-demand Kubernetes runners. Attendees will walk away with practical, actionable techniques to make their own pipelines faster and more reliable. 🚀 [Timo Fink](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fink-timo/) will explain how Superhuman incorporated AI agents into their CI pipelines to develop a Self-Healing system. You will learn how we leverage Claude Code to automatically audit the reliability of our test suite and proactively suggest and prepare improvements for human review. 🚀 Darek Komosinski will show how his team exposes structured performance trace data to AI to automatically detect issues and surface actionable fixes. You will learn how combining rule-based analyzers with an AI summarization layer turns thousands of raw traces into a concise, prioritized report without manual triage. **About the speakers**: 🔈 **Dushan Terzikj** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Superhuman browser extension—formerly the Grammarly browser extension—which serves more than 40 million monthly active users. He has also worked on a platform supporting the browser extension, where his team’s main goal was to deliver an outstanding developer experience. 🔈 **Timo Fink** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application. Grammarly for Windows, now part of the Superhuman suite, is the trusted AI writing partner for turning scattered thoughts into aligned, impactful communication. Timo has started to focus his efforts on developer experience, ensuring work can happen as fluidly as possible by removing recurring blockers like flaky pipelines. 🔈**Darek Komosiński** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application as a tech lead. He focuses on improving the performance of our apps (from observability to fixing issues) to make sure we can offer maximum value to users with minimal system impact. **Who should attend**: * Software engineers who want to apply AI-based tools to common developer experience problems * Technical leaders who want to offer their teams a new perspective on how to approach these challenges **Agenda:** ✨ 18:00–18:30: Check-in and networking ✨ 18:30–19:45: Talks ✨ 19:45–20:45: Mingle with our team

Meet other people in the Berlin tech industry in a low key, no expectations setting. We all have to eat, so don't eat alone! Rules: 1\. Register 2\. Show up \(we have limited seats\) 3\. Meet people 4\. Be nice and enjoy dinner\! There are no other expectations :)

**👉 [Register here](https://www.linkedin.com/events/7429279114164850688?viewAsMember=true) 👈** Together with the AI Guild, we’re excited to reunite with the **[AI Guild Dinner](https://www.theguild.ai/)** at our **[Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Centre](https://careers.db.com/explore-the-bank/careers-in-technology/berlin.techcentre/)**! **Agenda:** **18.30 Doors Open for Networking & Refreshments** Arrive at Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Center, Otto-Suhr-Allee 16, 10585 Berlin. How to get there: Travel via the Bahnhof Zoo and Ernst-Reuter-Platz - use the subway U2 or the Bus M45. Welcome and Introduction to the Berlin AI Guild Dinner by **[Chris Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisarmbruster/)**, MD at [AI Guild](https://theguild.ai/). **19.00 Technical Debt when Vibe Coding** **[Dishu Bagga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dishu-bagga-632236163/)**, Software Engineering, Deutsche Bank. AI assistants, scaffolding tools, and templates let us ship software faster than ever. You prompt, paste, and move on. Most of the time, it works. But while everything appears smooth, technical debt quietly accumulates. Modern tools optimize for speed—not architecture. Layers blur, boundaries erode, and structural decisions get locked in long before anyone notices. In this talk, we’ll use real examples and live coding to show how AI-accelerated development can produce clean-looking code but fragile systems. Small shortcuts compound. Complexity hides in plain sight. The goal is not to criticize AI tooling—but to remind us: Generated code still carries architectural consequences. Speed is easy. Sustainable systems require intent. **19.30 Agentic AI in a Global Corporate: The first iteration** **[Dijle Kara](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dijlekara/)**, AI Hub Product Manager at Henkel What happens when autonomous AI agents meet the complexity of a global enterprise? From legacy systems to governance and scale, the first deployments reveal both promise and friction. What actually works in production? Where do agents fail? And how do organizations adapt when software begins to act autonomously? **20.00 Announcement of the Berlin Exhibition Pix2GenAI** **[Dr. Kristian Rother](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristian-rother/)**, Python Developer, Data Scientist, and Trainer Code meets art. *Pix2GenAI* showcases computer-generated artworks created with algorithms, mathematics, and AI models—exploring the space between handcrafted code and generative intelligence. Kristian will invite you to the exhibition on 28 March 2026. **20.15 Dinner and Drinks at Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Center** **Registration** Via the AI Guild page on LinkedIn only. [https://www.linkedin.com/events/7429279114164850688?viewAsMember=true](https://www.linkedin.com/events/7429279114164850688?viewAsMember=true)

Ever thought, "I like writing, but sometimes I wish I could create stories with people instead of alone"? In this meetup we'll be taking a little creative journey together. In small groups we'll be creating basic character sketches together and then we'll play around with these characters in stories with a little bit of randomness and some prompting. It's going to be a mix of a lot of talking and a bit of writing. Mostly, it's going to be fun, collaborative and pretty fast-paced. Because we're building each step of this together, there's no "minimum requirement" for writing or storytelling experience. You just need to be keen to be collaborative and imaginative with other people. There's a thought-out set of guidelines to steer us for the event, so you don't have to worry about what to do and can just focus on being creative. I'll bring everything you need, so you don't need to bring anything. We'll start at **15h00 sharp -** so please get to Cafe Augusta earlier; I'll be there from 14h30. We'll be done by 16h30 at the latest. I'll put a little sign on the table that says "Creating Stories Together". **Please only RSVP if you will definitely come.** Spaces are limited and I need to reserve a table for enough people. Please cancel your RSVP at least 48h before if you can't make it. The event will be in English.

**Dear Community,** We’re excited to welcome you to the next **NoCode Collective Club Meetup in Berlin**. Join us for an evening of practical insights into how **AI, no-code, and low-code tools** are transforming how we build products. This is not a sales-driven event. It’s designed as a balanced mix of **community innovation** and **hands-on demos from industry leaders**. **📅 March 26, 2026** **⏰ 18:00 – 21:00** *(Networking until 22:00)* **📍 Web3 Hub, Berlin** **🍕 Pizza & Drinks provided** *** ## ✨ What to Expect **🎤 Expert Talks** \| Practical insights and live builds **⚡ Real Use Cases** \| AI agents\, automation\, analytics\, and low\-code platforms **📊 Live Demos** \| See the tools in action and try them yourself **🍹 Extended Networking** \| Connect with builders\, founders\, and operators *** ## 🧠 Topics & Speakers ### 🛠️ The Future of AI-Assisted App Building & AI Agents **Speaker: Akhilesh Balakrishnan (Zoho)** Directly from the Zoho team, Akhilesh will showcase the latest major updates in the low-code world in a demo-driven session: * **AI-Assisted App Building**: Build functional apps using natural language * **AI Agents**: Deploy intelligent assistants inside your workflow * **Live Interactive Demo**: Use a special signup link to follow along and test the features in real time *** ### ⚙️ Simplify Your Workflows with Agentic Skills **Speaker: Alexander Amin** Skills allow teams to turn expertise into reusable tools. Think of them as lightweight markdown-based building blocks that capture workflow knowledge and make it executable by an AI agent on demand. No SDK. No deployment. No boilerplate. Alexander will show how workflows can be turned into reusable “skills” that help teams automate recurring processes and scale execution without additional engineering overhead. *** ### 🤖 AI in E-Commerce: From Data to Beautiful Dashboards **Speaker: Matthias Siwy (MLC-Direct)** AI development are evolving rapidly, but the real leverage comes from combining them with existing company data. Matthias will share how teams use modern AI workflows and vibe-coding to move from raw data to working analytics interfaces in hours. *** ## 🍹 Networking & Logistics After the talks, stay for pizza and drinks. We have the space at the **Web3 Hub until 22:00**, giving everyone plenty of time to discuss the demos, share projects, and meet fellow innovators from the Berlin scene.

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

Join us for intermediate and advanced play on **indoor** 2v2 courts. If you are not yet at the intermediate level (F1+) or want to play 3v3/4v4, sign up via [the simultaneous event](https://www.meetup.com/berlin-volley/events/) instead. We play with beach rules: do not use open hands for the first or last touches, do not touch the net, etc. We overbook slightly to ensure we have enough players and to allow individuals to take breaks. After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. It's recommended that you come 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. We play in domes that are heated up to at least 15C. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so once you finish a game, you can start a rematch, mix with another court, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warmup happening on one of the courts.

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

[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). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Columbus Code & Coffee is excited to partner with GiveBackHack to put on the Healthtech Impact Sprint from 3/28-3/29 at Rev1 at The Peninsula! RSVP here using promo code CODEANDCOFFEE: https://luma.com/tk2jdrxk This is a health-specific version of GBH’s traditional weekend event. Participants pitch, research, and prototype health-focused projects for a chance to earn to $5K in funding from The Columbus Foundation and IGS Energy. On Saturday, folks will pitch their idea, form teams, and build. On Sunday, they’ll finalize their pitches before showcasing their work to the community and judges. # ​Schedule ​**Sat, Mar 28** * ​​9a: Doors open & breakfast * ​9:30a: Kickoff and intros * ​​10a: Ideation session * ​​11a: Pitches & team formation * ​​12p: Working lunch * ​​2p: Mentor visits * ​​5p: Free work (optional) * ​​9p: Doors close ​​**Sun, Mar 29** * ​9a: Doors open * ​10a: Mentor visits * ​​12p: Showcase * ​​1p: Final pitches & awards * ​​2p: Wrap *** # ​ FAQs ​**Do all ideas have a chance at getting funded?** ​​Not all ideas will move forward after initial pitches on Saturday. Once pitches are complete, we’ll vote for top ideas and form teams around the 4 – 7 ideas with the most votes. You must recruit **at least four total team members** (including the founder) to move forward and have a chance at getting funded on Sunday. If your idea doesn’t move forward, you can join another team! ​​**Do I have to submit my idea online prior to the event?** ​​Unlike previous years, we don’t have the option to submit your idea online prior to the event. Instead, everyone will be going through a brainstorming exercise on Saturday that’ll help you prepare for your initial pitch. ​​**Will we be working for 24 hours straight?** ​​Nope. The event is split over two days. You’ll be building on Saturday and pitching on Sunday. ​​**Do I have to pitch an idea?** ​​Nope. You can also simply join a team. ​​**What types of entrepreneurs does GBH support?** ​​While GBH most often works with technology startups, we support *any* organization (for- or non-profit) that makes an impact on health in the US or across the world.

**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. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
