**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. 🗓️ **Event Details:** \- Date: Tuesday\, June 30th \- Venue: Storm Reply GmbH\, [address](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Storm+Reply+GmbH/@52.5012692,13.368852,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47a851119af460c5:0x35e34ba578e8b1ec!8m2!3d52.5012692!4d13.368852!16s%2Fg%2F11gg9298pv?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \- Time: 06:00 PM \- 9:00 PM Doors open at 6:00 PM Food & drinks will be provided. 📋 **Program Schedule:** **18:00** \- Registration and Welcome Networking **18:20** \- AWS Women's User Group Welcome **18:30** \- "Trust\, but Verify: Observability and Evaluations for AWS Agents" **Speaker:** Tetiana Senna, Team Lead / Senior Project Manager, Storm Reply A practical session for anyone working with AI agents on AWS who wants the confidence to put them in front of real users. You'll leave with a clear framework for monitoring agents in production and a concrete approach to evaluating their behavior over time. **19:15 - 19:30** Break **19:30** \- "Weather Risk Intelligence Agent for farmers & Agronomist" **Speakers:** Vidhu Mitra Malladi, Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming & Chamika Hasanthi, Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming Discover how AI agents can transform weather forecasts into actionable, field-level farming guidance. **20:10** \- Q&A and closing remarks **20:15 - 21:00** Networking, food & drinks 🎟️ **RSVP** Don't miss this excellent opportunity to connect with Tetiana, Vidhu, the AWS WUG Team and a thriving community of cloud enthusiasts and professionals.

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.

This talk walks through a practical demo of automating the full SRE lifecycle: from incident investigation to deployment validation, using Grafana MCP and the GitLab Agent Platform, and where humans still need to stay in the loop. *Serhii Vasylenko* **The Pipeline Was Green — AI Agents and CI Trust** We’ve spent years building CI/CD pipelines that tell us when code is "technically correct," but are they capable of telling an autonomous AI agent if a change is safe to apply? This talk explores a real-world incident where an AI-powered automation -- pairing Renovate with Claude Code -- successfully executed a "green" pipeline that broke a critical QA cluster for three days, how the team reacted, and how we evolved our vision toward the future of human-agentic collaboration with code. *Frithjof Hoffmann* **Managing Uninvited Guests: Securing Open Source Dependencies** Open source software is the ultimate neighborhood party, but what happens when an uninvited guest slips through the door? This talk digs into the messy reality of dependency hell and its role in software supply chain security: from typosquatting attacks to maintainer account takeovers, and the abandoned projects with known CVEs quietly living in your codebase rent-free.

International Meetup for those who still like to follow the Peaceful teachings of Christ. We are free and curious humans, try to practice patience, kindness, humanity, etc, and have the freedom to read any book of the world, including the Gospels.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
