May has a way of making the city feel more possible. The evenings get longer, parks turn into living rooms, and even Mondays carry a little weekend energy. This Social Butterfly Club meetup is for new connections, spontaneous conversations, and starting the week with people instead of postponing life. A soft invitation to arrive in Berlin — or in your own life here — a little more fully. Because sometimes a good week begins with one unexpected conversation. ✨ Suggested Ice Breaker Question: “What’s something in Berlin you’ve been wanting to try, but haven’t yet?” Orga The location accepts only card payments.

You built, you broke, and now you will learn! Agentic coders are a major breakthrough for developers, making work easier (then at times more challenging!) Think about how these tools evolved from providing simple code blocks to actively rewriting the code inside IDE. As we, developers, engineers and designers, who are still learning how to use them, we need to understand the reasoning behind these tools and follow some best practices. **Kiro Bootcamp - Learn from the Experts** In light of all these, we kept our promise and are happy to organize a half-day long Kiro Bootcamp for you. Thanks to **Rackspace Technology** we will be gathering in WeWork, inviting experts from AWS to introduce you Kiro, explain the critical parts, help with getting the most out of it. This is a hands-on workshop with a practical deep dive into starting-up, running and optimizing Kiro. You work through independent tasks that you can pick and choose from, learning how to build, deploy, and operate your ideas on Kiro IDE. By the end of the workshop, we aim that you understand how Kiro works, what things you have to take into account at spec-driven development, and how you can integrate your Kiro IDE to external and internal tools. This workshop is aimed at developers, designers, cloud specialists and product developers. While it is not necessary to have extensive knowledge on AI development, it is ideal that you install Kiro in your device and try to build some minor projects in advance. **When?** 5th of May\, Tuesday\,\| 12:00 \- 17:00 **Where?** WeWork - Stresemannstraße 123, 10963 Berlin **How?** Fill out this form to apply. Limited seats are available. You can only participate in the workshop if you receive a confirmation mail from us (**kadir@berlinawsug.de**).

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Connected Westerville Night of Networking flips the script on networking, with surprises and connections that'll make you say, "Who knew networking could be this much fun?!"

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
