Single Party in Berlin mal anders
So hast du andere Leute in Berlin wahrscheinlich noch nie kennengelernt!
Bis zu 10 Singles, die sich zuvor nicht kennen, treffen sich in einer Bar und lernen sich bei einem eigens für diese Veranstaltungsreihe entwickelten Spiel näher kennen.
Das Spiel kombiniert eine gelungene Mischung aus Fragen, Aktionsaufgaben und lustiger Unterhaltung, die alleine oder als Team gemeistert werden. Durch verschiedene Aufgaben und Fragen kommen die Spieler in direkte Interaktion miteinander und lernen sich im Spielverlauf näher kennen.
Im Vergleich zur klassischen Single Party lernst du bei Socialmatch wirklich nur Singles in deiner Altersgruppe kennen und kommst von ganz alleine ins Gespräch mit den anderen Teilnehmern. Ein Spielmoderator vor Ort informiert über den Ablauf und leitet durch den Abend.
Sicher dir jetzt deinen Platz beim nächsten Event unter [[www.socialmatch.de](http://www.socialmatch.de/)]
und lerne neue Leute in deiner Stadt kennen.
Dieses Event ist für die Altersgruppe 40 - 60 Jahre.
P.S. Socialmatch erhielt 2015 bereits einen Award für das Konzept, teste es selbst ;-)
**Achtung: Nur mit Buchung über die Website ist eine Teilnahme möglich!**
Open Draw
Kommt am 2. Montagabend im Monat ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum Open Draw!
Raucht Euch auch manchmal der Kopf von zu viel PC-Arbeit? Der Asphalt der Stadt ist heute wieder viel zu grau? Ihr würdet am liebsten mal wieder wild auf einem Blatt Papier rumklecksen oder gedankenverlorene Linien zeichnen?
Höchste Zeit zur Tat zu schreiten!
Wir wollen in entspannter Atmosphäre die kreativen Zellen auf Volldampf fahren und uns der Inspiration überlassen. Mit Musik im Hintergrund sowie Wein, Tee und Snacks im Repertoire wird dann gekleckst, gemalt, gezeichnet, geklebt, geredet und gelacht. Das Ganze kann sehr ambitioniert stattfinden, aber genauso zum Hirn-abschalten dienen. Austausch, Bilderswapping und gegenseitige Tipps/Kritik sind sehr willkommen.
Material stellen wir (Kreide, Bleistift, Wasserfarbe, Acrylfarbe, Pastellstifte, Kohle, Papierbögen, Spiegel, Postkarten, Zeichenbücher, Illustrierte).
Sujet kann alles sein: Der/die Tischnächste, der letzte Traum, oder der Feldhase Dürers. Technik auch: Von (Selbst)portrait über Stilleben bis zur Comiczeichnung soll alles abgedeckt werden.
Wir bieten jeden 2. Montag im Monat offene Treffen zum kreativen Arbeiten sowie gelegentlich technik- und themenbasierte Workshops an.
Wie immer wird um eine Spende für Raummiete/Material von 5-10€ gebeten.
Anmeldung: Katharinav.runnen@gmx.de

**Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/)
**Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history.
The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects.
**The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha.
**Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

New in Berlin: Monday, but Make It a Little Magical – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
Mondays have a bad reputation.
But what if they were for serendipity instead of survival?
Join us for an evening of easy conversation, new faces, and that particular kind of energy that appears when strangers realize they might actually like each other. Think less networking, more social alchemy.
Because the week doesn’t have to begin with waiting.
✨ Suggested Ice Breaker Question:
“What unexpected moment made you feel at home in Berlin?”
Orga
The location accepts only card payments. We will be sitting in the first room.

Julia's Salon - Social Butterfly Club 🦋
In the spirit of a 19th-century salon, this gathering will be a space for lively conversations, fascinating encounters, and the exchange of ideas over drinks. Whether you’re new in town or a local looking to expand your social circle, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded explorers of Berlin’s nightlife.
Each week, we shine a spotlight on a **special guest** from our community — someone who brings along a topic they’re passionate about or deeply engaged with.
It’s not a presentation or a performance, but rather a gentle invitation into conversation: a starting point for curiosity, questions, and unexpected connections. The topic can naturally weave its way into the evening, without needing to take over.
If you’d like to be our next special guest, feel free to reach out via the contact form: [https://socialbutterfly.berlin/contact/](https://socialbutterfly.berlin/contact/)
This time, we’re excited to introduce **Erik**, who’s been thinking about how we meet new people in a digital world.
Erik has been developing his own app, inspired by the idea of making spontaneous, local gatherings more visible — and connecting with what’s happening around us in the moment.
How do you usually meet new people — and what makes you stay in touch?
Orga
The location is cash only. It is non-smoking (with a separate room for smoking).
We’ll be sitting on the couches in the first room.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
