#9 NoCode Collective Club Meetup | Zoho Creator Edition
**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.

100 Minuten Zukunft – Der Salon der Zukünfte @BEYDES
**Tickets / Anmeldung:**
[https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1983680334279](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1983680334279)
**Salon #1 Thema: „Wie leben wir in Berlin im Jahr 2040?“**
Technologische Durchbrüche, politische Verschiebungen und gesellschaftliche Dynamiken verändern unser Koordinatensystem schneller als je zuvor. Vieles wird infrage gestellt. In Zeiten tiefgreifender Transformation wächst das Bedürfnis nach Orientierung.
Der Salon **„100 Minuten Zukunft“** schafft einen Raum, um Zukunft zu denken. Durchgeführt wird das Format von den beiden professionellen Futures Thinking und Innovationsentwickler:innen und Zukunftsgestaltern Elle Langer, Ferdinand Linke und Florian Huss vom Team „100Minuten Zukunft“.
**100 Minuten können reichen, um den Blick auf morgen neu zu ordnen.**
Das Erlebnisformat beginnt mit einem pointierten Impuls zur Methode Futures Thinking.
Anschließend startet ein 100-Minuten-Zukunftssprint in einem wissenschaftlich-kreativen Prozess mit Futures Thinking. Schritt für Schritt entstehen konkrete Szenarien zu einem definierten Thema und Zukunftsjahr.
Der Salon startet mit der Frage:
**„Wie leben wir in Berlin im Jahr 2040?“**
• Wie leben Menschen in diesem Szenario?
• Welche politischen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen prägen den Alltag?
• Welche Technologien spielen eine Rolle?
• Welche gesellschaftlichen Dynamiken dominieren?
Keine Dramatisierung, sondern analytische Klarheit. Aktuelle Entwicklungen werden eingeordnet und der Blick geweitet und wünschenswerte, realistische und dystopische Zukünfte bewusst gegenübergestellt. Was anfangs abstrakt erscheint, wird überraschend konkret. Diffuse Unsicherheiten verwandeln sich in beschreibbare Zukunftsbilder. Aus Diskussionen entstehen Handlungsoptionen.
**Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten**
Der Salon vermittelt mehr als Methodenkompetenz. Er stärkt ein Zukunfts-Mindset:
• Komplexität strukturiert denken
• Narrative erkennen und gestalten
• Risiken und Chancen systematisch abwägen
• konkrete nächste Schritte ableiten
Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Futures Thinking weder in Schule noch Universität selbstverständlich gelehrt wird, bietet dieses Format eine seltene Gelegenheit, Gestaltungskompetenz praktisch zu erleben.
**Ein Abend wie eine kleine Heldenreise**
Dieses besondere Erlebnisformat, verbindet Menschen aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Medien, Wirtschaft und engagierter Zivilgesellschaft – erfahrene Entscheider:innen und junge Zukunftsgestalter:innen.
Maximal 25 Personen können teilnehmen. Die Begrenzung ermöglicht
einen dynamischen und kreativen Prozess, echte Begegnung und Co-Creation zwischen Generationen und Disziplinen.
**Regelmäßige Orientierung in komplexen Zeiten**
Der Salon „100 Minuten Zukunft“ @BEYDES wird regelmäßig alle 2 Monate zu unterschiedlichen Themen stattfindenden.
Nächster Termin 21.05.2026 17:00 – 19:30 Uhr. Das Thema findet über eine Beteiligungsumfrage im Vorfeld statt.
Wer Teil dieses besonderen Formats sein möchte, sollte sich frühzeitig anmelden.

Collaboration Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Creating Stories Together
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.
Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
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!\*\***

2v2 Intermediate+ Beach Volley 💪
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.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[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).

# 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.
Men's Group meetup
**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.
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
