It’s a maker space, creative workshop, and hardware lab, right here in Neukölln. ​​The 150sqm FabLab is split into two. A dirt lab with woodworking and metal working equipment, perfect for making dust and loud noises. Across the hall, you’ll find a clean lab equipped with a 3D printer, laser cutter, and textile lab where your electronics or more delicate projects can come to life. ​​Our space was created to provide fair access to equipment, training, and community for students, experienced makers, and garage inventors alike. What will you come up with? [Apply for the next onboarding session](https://luma.com/fablabnk?k=c&tag=onboarding).

**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2).

We're looking forward to seeing many familiar and new faces for this special Superbooth edition!

**Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.** **=== Please see the English version below ===** Vraćamo se sa 7. okupljanjem ljudi iz sveta tehnologije i preduzetništva iz bivše Jugoslavije (ex-YU), u organizaciji [Nemačkog kutka](https://nemackikutak.com/) i [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/). Događaj se održava na engleskom jeziku i otvoren je za sve - bilo da dolazite iz regiona ili ste deo šire zajednice. **\# Datum i lokacija** • Sreda, 6. maj 2026 • cognee.ai – Prilaz 4, 1. sprat, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39–40 • Početak: 18:00 **\# Predavači i teme** Dva predavanja. Jedna osnivačka priča. Jedan ozbiljan pogled na veštačku inteligenciju. Sirovo, bez ulepšavanja. **Milica T. Jovanović** je senior istraživač korisničkog iskustva sa više od dve decenije iskustva u dizajnu, istraživanju i razvoju proizvoda. Bavi se razumevanjem stvarnog ponašanja korisnika i pretvaranjem uvida u bolje odluke u razvoju proizvoda, uz poseban fokus na ulogu veštačke inteligencije u istraživanju. U ovom predavanju, Milica govori o tome da li veštačka inteligencija treba da zameni istraživače korisničkog iskustva — gde daje rezultate, gde ne i šta se usput gubi. Takođe će pokazati kako se veliki jezički modeli mogu koristiti u istraživanju bez stvaranja lažnog osećaja sigurnosti. • **Tema:** Istraživač vs. mašina: Da li veštačka inteligencija može da zameni istraživanje korisničkog iskustva? **Jovan Stevović** je izvršni direktor i suosnivač kompanije Chino.io. Živi između Italije i Nemačke i radi u jednom od najzahtevnijih regulatornih okruženja — digitalno zdravstvo. Doktorirao je u oblasti inovacija u zdravstvu i ima više od deset godina iskustva u industriji, radeći na preseku veštačke inteligencije, usklađenosti sa propisima i razvoja proizvoda. U ovom predavanju, Jovan deli iskustvo izgradnje i prodaje kompanije. Od ideje, prvih odluka i obezbeđivanja finansiranja do toga kako zaista izgledaju prodaje kompanija iza kulisa. Iskustvo iz prve ruke koje nijedna knjiga ne može da prenese. • **Tema:** Od nule do prodaje: realna slika preduzetničkog puta **\# Program događaja** * **18:00 - 18:30** Ulaz i upoznavanje * **18:30 - 18:40** Uvodna reč * **18:40 - 19:00** Milica T.

Join us for a hands-on, collaborative **4-hour workshop** where we use LLMs to code. We will be implementing the following 3 exercises: [connect four](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/connect-four) [amazon locker](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/amazon-locker) and [elevator](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/elevator) ### **What we will do** We will use the LLM (any free one, like chatGPT) to write code that solves a given problem. Our goal is to not write code by hand, and to produce an application that passes a set of specifications. ### 🛠 **Share ideas about agentic coding** We will be practicing our agentic coding skills: * bring a laptop with Java or Golang installed * know how to code in either Java or Golang * share and explore ideas about how to use LLMs to create production-ready applications ### 💬 **Atmosphere & Logistics** The workshop is **free**. There will also be a 20 min pause, if you want to order snacks.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

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. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

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!
