**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.

Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community. Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display: * Burak Kağan Yılmazer * Sara Maras * Alexander Hendorf * Hansu Kim * Maris Niewenhuis * Ewa Rother

On Friday March 27th, 343 Labs takes over Madame Claude for a live set electronic showcase to celebrate the release of a new hardware techno project Raw Image. Entry is free / by donation. Come for an evening of inspiring electronic music by 343 Labs staff and graduates with a decidedly live, hardware and improvisational approach. **Lineup:** * [Raw Image](https://www.instagram.com/raw_image_live) * [Marius](https://www.instagram.com/marius.live/) * [Frau Lou](https://fraulou.ch/) * [Uninvited](https://linktr.ee/Uninvited_nyc)

Let's have a "Portray and Be Portrayed" outside of **Internationales Congress Centrum (ICC)** to enrich our portraits with futuristic, high-tech urban backdrops and mood! During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: **being a photographer and a model**. ➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants! * We will rotate roles so there is **only one active model** at a time. * You'll work in small groups of 3–5 people * This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Photos) sessions. Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event: 🔗 [View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXHaLhKFXc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) Our group-TFP event that took place outside of ICC: [🔗 View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-GhcSGK6Me/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D) 📅 **Itinerary** **12:00 -** Meet in the designated spots near ICC. We’ll assign groups for P&BP, and the photography session will kick off. As a group, you’ll have full autonomy to coordinate. **15:00 -** We will meet back at the starting spot. We might go somewhere together afterwards to discuss the day’s photos, share photography tips, and chat casually in smaller groups. 📸 **Photography session requirements** * **Bring a dedicated camera (mobile phones won’t suffice).** * **Have at least a basic understanding of portrait photography**. * Share your photos with others upon request—we’d love to feature your shots in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa)! Check below for sharing guidelines. ⚠️ **Obligations for "Portray & be portrayed" participants** * Be available to collaborate with fellow participants after the event. * Share your photos with others if requested. * We recommend using [PicFlow](https://picflow.com/) to finalize photos that work for both parties. 😊 **Sharing Guidelines:** * You’re welcome to post event photos in our dedicated #portrait-photography [Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa) channel without permission (unless a community member asks to hide specific photos). * For public social media (e.g., Instagram), you must get mutual permission from either the photographer or the model before posting. **❗Sharing photos from this event on Discord & WhatsApp is mandatory!** Because after the last few events, hardly anyone shared their photos from the event, **we would like to adjust the rules:** Due to the nature of this event, as part of the **mutual** exchange, every participant must share their photos from this event if they would like to join our future events. **📍 Location** Starting Location and meeting point: In front of the ICC main entrance (Neue Kantstraße) [https://maps.app.goo.gl/vzsm8hyWtDF5uTpA7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vzsm8hyWtDF5uTpA7) **Launch after the event:** For those willing to connect after the event, we will go to one of the local restaurants, e.g., [https://maps.app.goo.gl/qurTcXYV6AXSeJvG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qurTcXYV6AXSeJvG7) **Our Instagrams** [https://www.instagram.com/the_isoclub](https://www.instagram.com/the_isoclub) [https://www.instagram.com/_portraitscenter](https://www.instagram.com/_portraitscenter)

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts—CORE—is an informal community for anyone enthusiastic or curious about radio—whether you're new to radio and want to learn or you've been tinkering for years and want to share. Ham radio operators, GMRS users, Meshtastic fans, software-defined radio nerds, makers, and technical and non-technical folks are all welcome. No experience required or expected. This month we have **WiFi HaLow: Introduction and Practical Use** with **Alex Barbur**. Details are are [core.radio](https://core.radio).

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! Tonight's a special one; this is "Long form" night! Most nights here at Improv Meetup, we play "short form" games, where the host has established rules that the players must adhere to. These scenes frequently do not tell a connected story and are focused on following those rules; games such as "Alphabet Game" where every next sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet, or "Interrogation" where it's a guessing game. Tonight is focused on "long form", where we will see groups of people come up and do a sort of improvised play. There may be rules to the structure itself to adhere to, or it may be more free form, but doing this allows players to establish a shared world, and to establish characters and callbacks. While your average game may last 2-3 minutes, a long form set will last much longer, and have 4+ people involved. This may be a more complicated night, but we will make sure you feel supported to try this out. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters. QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves! ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
