Mavericks Bouldering — A Casual Climb & Hangout in Berlin
A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone.
This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly!
Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself.
Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense.
**Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).**
*Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*
Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular ☀️❄️
**Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular & reliable ☀️❄️**
Exact time and date - we schedule together! Meetup once a week!
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a like-minded person (or a small group) who would like to go ice bathing together once a week on a regular basis – preferably at Treptower Park and the surrounding area. The day and time are flexible for me; what matters most to me is reliability and consistency.
I’ve been ice bathing for several years and value this practice greatly: as an energising time in nature, as a shared act of overcoming oneself, and as something that is noticeably beneficial for both body and mind. For me, it has positive effects on health, sleep, and recovery – and it’s a wonderful way to start the next week feeling light, uplifted, and content.
After four years, my previous ice-bathing partner is unfortunately no longer able to join, so I’m now happy to meet new people. I’m open and enjoy coordinating flexibly.
If you already have experience, or if you’re curious and would like to try it out in a committed way, feel free to get in touch. I’m looking forward to the exchange and to arriving together in the cold water.
Warm regards, Till
Gewaltfreie Kommunikation (GfK) - Ein Einführungsworkshop
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
**Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.**
In diesem Einführungs-Workshop machen wir praktische Übungen aus der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation (GFK).
Gewaltfreie Kommunikation ist eine der effektivsten Methoden zum Lösen von Konflikten, Aufbau von Vertrauen und wertschätzender Kommunikation auf Augenhöhe - in allen unseren Beziehungen.
.
.
**💎 Um folgende Themen geht es an diesem Abend:**
* Wie du offen und ehrlich sagen kannst, was in dir vorgeht – und trotzdem in Kontakt mit anderen bleibst
* Wie du klar und konkret für deine Bedürfnisse einstehen kannst
* Wie Konflikte zu mehr Verbindung führen können
* Wie Empathie uns hilft, mit Wut, Schmerz, Angst und Verletzung umzugehen
* und mehr ...
.

**👱🏼♂️ Zum Trainer: Lorenz Kaplick**
Ich (Lorenz) bin Psychologe und zertifizierter Mediator. Seit 7 Jahren beschäftige ich mich intensiv mit den Themen Dialog, Beziehungen & Konfliktklärung. Ich habe mit Trainer:innen aus Europa und der Welt gelernt und zusammengearbeitet.
Die GFK hat mein Leben grundlegend verändert. Sie hat mir eine Hoffnung für die Menschheit gegeben, die ich vorher nicht hatte.
Deshalb freue ich mich, diese Art der Welt zu begegnen mit anderen zu teilen. Das mache ich durch meine Arbeit als Organisationsentwickler, Mediator – und durch Workshops wie diesen.

!!NEW LOCATION!! Datamonster Berlin - Janek Fellien: Projekt Drasi
... english version below
Liebe Datamonster und Freunde des gepflegten Datenstroms.
Alles neu macht 2026... Und wir starten mit einem Knall ins neue Jahr: wir sind ab sofort in einer **neuen Location!**
Unsere Freunde von b.telligent haben uns freundlicherweise die **Berlin Bytes** vermittelt, die uns ab sofort in ihrem Büro in der Backfabrik am Prenzlauer Berg willkommen heißen werden.
Und zum ersten Termin in der neuen Location gehört natürlich auch ein herausragender Sprecher und den haben wir mit Janek Fellien gefunden. Sein Thema ist das Projekt Drasi
Projekt Drasi ist ein noch ganz frisches Open Source Projekt von Microsoft, das den Gedanken des Complex Event Processings neu aufgreift. Dabei geht es im Kern darum, Datenveränderungen in Softwaresystemen zu erkennen und darauf entsprechend reagieren zu können. In neu zu entwickelnden Systemen würde man dies mit Event Sourcing oder technischen Lösungen "from Scratch" realisieren, aber was ist mit Bestandssystemen? Wie schafft man es dort, die auftretenden Veränderungen zu erfassen und vor allem, warum möchte man darauf reagieren?
Ich möchte in diesem Talk zeigen, wie man mit Hilfe von Drasi, ein Monolith Legacy System in ein Micro Service System einbetten oder umwandeln kann.
Online teilnehmen könnt ihr unter folgendem [Link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), wir empfehlen euch aber natürlich wärmstens, mit uns die neue Location für die Berliner Datamonster einzuweihen.
Es freuen sich
Markus & Ben
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- english version \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Dear data monsters and friends of well-crafted data streams,
Everything is new in 2026… and we’re starting the new year with a bang: from now on, we have a **new location**!
Our friends at b.telligent have kindly connected us with **Berlin Bytes**, who will be welcoming us from now on at their office in the Backfabrik in Prenzlauer Berg.
And of course, the first event at the new location calls for an outstanding speaker—and we’ve found one in Janek Fellien. His topic is the Drasi project.
Project Drasi is a very new open-source project from Microsoft that revisits the idea of Complex Event Processing. At its core, it is about detecting data changes in software systems and being able to react to them accordingly. In newly developed systems, this would typically be implemented using event sourcing or technical solutions built “from scratch.” But what about existing systems? How can changes be captured there—and, more importantly, why would you want to react to them?
In this talk, I want to demonstrate how Drasi can be used to embed or transform a monolithic legacy system into a microservices system.
You can join online via the following [link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), but of course we warmly recommend that you celebrate the inauguration of the new location for the Berlin Data Monsters with us in person.
Looking forward to it,
Markus & Ben
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!**

GLOBALS Tech Festival 2026 (GSTF26) | Barcelona | Pre-MWC | Mar 1, 2026
The GLOBALS Tech Festival 2026 (#GSTF26) on March 1, 2026 in Barcelona is more than just a conference; it is a dynamic gathering where the global tech and growth community comes to connect, learn, and evolve. Think of it as a melting pot where founders, CxOs, operators, investors, and ecosystem builders converge in a relaxed and friendly setting, with the spirit of learning and connecting at its core. 🙂
Taking place in Barcelona right before MWC & 4YFN, this year’s GLOBALS Tech Festival builds on the legacy of the former Global Sales Tech Festival and takes it to the next level: from “just sales” to growth across tech, SaaS, e-commerce, finance, telco, health, marketing and edtech.
You will spend a full day surrounded by people who actually get what you are building: exchanging playbooks, testing ideas, and forging collaborations in a laid-back but high-intent environment. Expect stages, curated sessions, and serendipitous encounters that feel more like a festival than a conference.
The focus of GLOBALS Tech Festival 2026 is on fostering genuine connections and exchanging fresh, practical ideas over real conversations, accompanied by good food and drinks. Expect to leave buzzing with new contacts, strategies you can implement on Monday, and a renewed hunger to scale your impact.
Let’s create an unforgettable experience filled with inspiring people and breakthrough insights.
