Shared Experience Builds Teams
A practical theatre-based experience for HR and professionals working with teams.
Created by TISTO studio. We create spaces where individuals become more authentic and teams grow more connected. We help people return to real human contact — with themselves and with each other.
Life gets busy and digitally overloaded. Our mind is always on, we’re moving on autopilot, and real connection starts to feel rare. We miss that sense of being fully alive — doing something just for fun, no reason, just because.
Playground is a 2-hour session built around games and structured exercises actors use to develop presence, spontaneity, focus, and connection. You’ll practice with no scripts, no experience, and no preparation — just show up and play in real time.
Workshop held in English

Berlindroid Monthly Meetup
Let's enjoy the summer and enjoy a nice evening and talk Android with fellow #AndroidDev!
We will be gathering at the legendary Holzmarkt 25, where we hang out around the beer garden, enjoy the sunset by the Spree river, and see what everyone is up to.
Food & drinks are not included, but since it is a beer garden with various food stall, if you want to grab a drink or some fries, just remember to bring money with you (they should accept digital payment as well).
The Voice Lab - Experiments with Singing
**Discover the joys of singing in a nurturing and supportive atmosphere at our new regular Wednesday singing class at b23 Space in Prenzlauer Berg. Guided by soprano and singing teacher Sarah McInerney, this class invites you to delve into the emotional and somatic aspects of your voice, fostering a sense of community and connection through the power of singing.**
Our 75-minute sessions offer a blend of breathing exercises, visualizations, and improvisational activities designed to help you explore your voice in a relaxed, playful, and inclusive setting. The focus is on experiencing the sensations and emotions of singing rather than perfecting technique or striving for performance excellence.
Join us on this vocal journey and experience the transformative power of singing, one note at a time. Open to anyone and any body. No previous voice training required!
**Please book your spot before via:** [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/the-voice-lab-experiments-with-singing-tickets-747110847657), [Urban Sports Club](https://urbansportsclub.com/de/venues/b23-space-1?date=2025-07-17&service_type=1) or [EGYM Wellpass](https://egym-wellpass.com/int/gym-finder?n=b23+space).

**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring Lukas Ruff (VP of Data Science @ [Aignostics](https://www.aignostics.com/?utm_source=luma)) together with his colleagues (Christina Embacher, Jonas Dippel, and Maaike Galama), who will guide us through an interactive session on AI for Precision Medicine.
**Title:** Al for Precision Medicine: From Foundation Models to Tumor Tissue Profiling in Computational Pathology
📅 **Date:** 24.06.2026
🕕 **Time:** 18:00

**Abstract:** Nearly every cancer diagnosis still begins with a pathologist examining a stained tissue slide under a microscope. Digital pathology turns those slides into gigapixel images — and with them, a uniquely demanding frontier for machine learning. But getting from raw pixels to clinically meaningful, quantitative insight about a tumor and its microenvironment is far from trivial.
In this workshop, Aignostics — a computational pathology company and Charité spin-off — walks you along the arc from core ML research to real-world application. We start with an overview of digital pathology and what makes it challenging for ML (gigapixel images, scarce labels, scanner and staining variability). We then look at how pathology foundation models are built and what separates a good one from a fragile one — not just accuracy, but robustness to non-biological artifacts — with a short hands-on segment. Finally, we put these models to work: with Atlas H&E-TME we profile the tumor microenvironment from routine H&E slides, and you'll get hands-on with OpenTME — an open dataset of TME profiles across five cancer types from TCGA — and TME Studio to run your own analyses.

Rust Berlin Talks: The next generation
**Rust Berlin Talks** is back for another evening of talks, shared ideas, and networking.
Join us to learn, share, ask, and connect. If you work with Rust professionally, use it in side projects, contribute to open source, or are simply curious to learn more, you are very welcome.
**Agenda**
* Doors open: 18:30
* Start: 19:00
* Talks:
* **RICO8: A new fun way to learn & master Rust**
New to Rust and looking for a fun way to learn? Or are you already familiar with all the essentials and lacking the motivation to master the rest?
Or perhaps you're already pretty fluent in Rust but never got a chance to code for constrained environments while were always curious about that? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're in luck!
In this talk, I'll introduce a new project, that makes Rust
programming a lot of fun, especially if you're fascinated by pixel art
and/or retrogaming.
* **Reimagining the terminal with Rust**
The terminal has evolved far beyond plain text interfaces. In this talk, we'll explore how Rust is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in terminal applications.
* Open mic / lightning talks
* Networking
**Speakers**
1. [Zeeshan Ali Khan](https://github.com/zeenix): Free Software dev, Ecomodernist, into Rust, flying, and EVs. Maintainer of zbus.
2. [Orhun Parmaksız](https://github.com/orhun): Open source maintainer. Creator of Ratatui.
**Open mic & future talks**
We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional.
If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers.
**Venue & access**
Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening.
**Registration**

Looking forward to seeing you all!
Designing APIs & Building Contextual Chatbots | Data Engineering Meetup
Two talks. One evening. Plenty of ideas to take home. We’re ready to kick things off for another Berlin Meetup, and are happy to present the speakers of the evening:
**[Jens Wriske](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-wriske-8b538a397/):** ***"Designing APIs on top of Data Platforms using Databricks"***
Modern data platforms increasingly follow a lakehouse architecture, where data remains owned and governed by domain teams rather than application developers. This session explores how APIs can be designed on top of Azure Databricks to provide access to heterogeneous data sources without duplicating or owning the underlying storage layer.
**[Tanuj Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanuj-jain-10/): *"The Story Behind the Story: "Building a Contextual News Chatbot."***
Most news readers lack the background to fully engage with the stories they encounter. This talk walks through the development of a chatbot embedded in a news article page for a German news publisher, designed to give readers on-demand context about what they're reading. We share the key technical and product decisions made along the way, and what we learned about building an AI feature that sits at the intersection of editorial and user experience.
✧ ✧ ✧
**What to expect:**
* Two expert talks and Q&A
* Networking opportunities in our great Creator Space
* Some snacks & drinks to fuel your thoughts : )
✧ ✧ ✧
**Timetable:**
* 18:30 - Event admission
* 18:50 - Welcome & Introduction

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Much Ado About Nullable - C# Nullable Reference Types Explained
**Presenter:** Matthew Hess, Microsoft MVP
**Time:** Pizza at 6:00, Presentation Starts at 6:30pm Eastern
**Location:** Theoris, 9000 Keystone Crossing, Either Downstairs or in Suite 230 if main meeting room isn't available, Indianapolis
In 2019 (C# 8.0) Microsoft introduced a feature that has generated a lot of confusion, debate and outright dissent. I'm talking about Nullable Reference Types. In this presentation, I we dig into this feature, explore why it exists, what problem it tries to solve, how it works, and how people have critiqued it, so that you as a programmer can decide if and how you want to use it.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
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.
