Tech Talk: Together in DEIB - Redefining Tech Culture Beyond ''Always-On''
Join us for our second Berlin Tech Talk: Together in DEIB – Redefining Tech Culture Beyond “Always-On.”
In recognition of this year's Stress Awareness Month theme #BeTheChange, we’re bringing together leading voices from the tech industry for a panel discussion on how we can start shifting away from the “always-on” culture that has become common in the world of technology.
Together, we’ll explore how to build tech cultures that support people, not just output.
Our speakers:
\- Roe Shani \- Program Delivery Manager at Bettermile
\- Dr Anna Varosyan \- Deputy CTO/VP of Engineering at Affinidi
\- Kim Anna Kunc \- Engineering Lead\, Head of Platform at Bettermile
\- Shruthi Sreenivasan \- Head of IT Service Delivery at Enpal
\- Tracy Roesler \- Engineering Growth & Leadership \(Fractional\) at Contiamo
Our panel will dive into five key themes:
⚡ Performance Culture & Always-On Expectations - How to measure impact over hours and move away from constant connectivity.
🧠 Psychological Safety & Stress - Spotting hidden pressure, giving feedback that actually helps, and reducing invisible labour.
💭 Imposter Syndrome - Creating environments where people feel confident to be themselves and have their contributions recognised.
🌿Neurodiversity & Stress - Designing workflows and flexible ways of working that reduce cognitive overload.
🔄 Career Breaks & Burnout Recovery - Reframing gaps as growth, supporting reintegration, and modelling healthy boundaries.
This session is packed with practical takeaways for leaders, managers, and technologists on building tech cultures where wellbeing and performance can go hand in hand.
This session will offer practical insights for leaders, managers, and technologists looking to build cultures where wellbeing and high performance go hand in hand.
You’ll also hear real-world experiences from our panelists - how they’ve navigated these challenges, what strategies worked (and what didn’t), and you’ll have the opportunity to ask your own questions during a live Q&A.
📆 Date: Thursday, 30 April
⏰ Time: 18:00 CET
📍 Location: Bettermile Office Berlin
Oranienstraße 183 / Aufgang B, 10999 Berlin, Germany

Chinese 中文 Chinesisch/German 德语 Deutsch Meetup! (Every 2 Weeks!)
Hey fellow Dragons!
++++++++ Interested in Chinese/German? ++++++++
Learning Chinese/German and need to practice or find language-tandem partners?
Interested in cultural exchange?
Want to meet awesome internationals?
…Or just want to get tips on where to find good Chinese food in Berlin?
Whatever the reason, come join us! The more the merrier: such is the Chinese way!
++++++++++++++++ New Website ++++++++++++++++
We have our own community website now. It's hosted in Germany with better privacy guidelines and allows us to have more features than we currently have here.
https://www.dragon-descendants.de/
Please think about registering there too and if you are awesome, use the RSVP function there too.
In the long run we do plan to migrate permanently to the new site.
++++++++++++++++ Our meetup structure ++++++++++++++++
Our meetup is relatively unstructured. Groups often form organically and evolve and move throughout the evening consisting of members learning Chinese/German, members who are fluent/native, and the rest who are here to socialize in whatever language they're comfortable with and jumping into whichever conversation they find themselves in.
We try our best to fulfil everyone's expectations so we can all benefit from the meetup and have a good time; if you have any suggestions or ideas (such as outings!) please don't hesitate to let us know! :)
+++ No time on Thursday's? +++
We meet every second Thursday, but we sometimes have other events, which are not regular and occur on different days/at different locations. Stay tuned for announcements!
Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones :)
Cheers & 回头见

SHORT NOTICE: Build Faster, Fund Smarter. With Adeo Ressi. Founder of FI
A lunchtime conversation with the man who built the world's largest startup accelerator
What separates the founders who break through from those who don't? In 2026, the answer increasingly comes down to one thing: how you wield AI. The rules of company-building are being rewritten — faster than most founders realize. AI isn't just a productivity tool anymore. It's compressing the timeline from idea to product, from product to funding, from funding to scale. The founders who understand this shift aren't working harder. They're working smarter, faster, and with leverage that simply didn't exist before. There are few people better positioned to unpack what this means for founders than Adeo Ressi. He's spent over 15 years obsessing over one question: what does it actually take to build a successful startup
What You'll Learn
- The AI-native founder playbook — How top founders are using AI as a co-founder
- From zero to funded, faster
- The rewired venture ecosystem — How AI is changing what investors look for and how capital is being deployed
- Live Q&A — An open, candid conversation. Bring your hardest questions!

If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past.
This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share. If you enjoy art and/or technology, you’ll likely have a great time, and maybe even learn something new!
BEGINNERS WELCOME!
If you’re new to creative coding, you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](https://creativecode.berlin/learn).

Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath.
**Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact.

**Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab.
**Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting.

Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments.

It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it.
