Flutter Berlin June
**Flutter Berlin Meetup — we're back! 🎉**
We're back with a new meetup, and this time **Here Technologies** is hosting us — huge thanks for the venue!
Two talks on the lineup, covering two very different but equally hot corners of Flutter: automotive navigation and on-device AI.
🕕 **Starts at 6:00 PM** 📍 **Here Technologies office, Berlin**
***
**🚗 Talk 1 — Itai Shalom** *Lead Software Engineer @ Here Technologies*
**Building a Navigation App in Flutter: Map Rendering on Android & Android Auto**
How do you build a full navigation app in Flutter — with the map rendered on Android and running on Android Auto? Itai dives into how the Here team leverages Flutter for this and what makes their app unique.
***
**🤖 Talk 2 — Ioannis Gerardis** *Software Engineer · Flutter Dev · AI Dev*
**A Flutter App Powered by Local AI: From Synthetic Data (n8n) to Apple Silicon Fine-Tuning (MLX, Gemma)**
On-device AI for emergencies. The full journey — from generating synthetic data with n8n to LoRA fine-tuning on Apple Silicon. Stack: **Gemma 4 E2B · MLX · n8n Synthetic Data · LoRA Adapters**. If you're curious about running and fine-tuning models right on the device, this one's for you.
***
Expect plenty of technical depth, good conversation, and of course some networking. Come hang out! 🍕
See you there, *Flutter Berlin Community*

Bridging the Implementation Gap in AI for Stroke Interventions
**Join us for our next Machine Learning in Healthcare meetup in Berlin — proudly sponsored by the QUEST Centre!**
Pizza is still back!
We are very happy to announce our speaker **Frank te Nijenhuis**, who is a PhD candidate at the ICAI Stroke Lab at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. With a background in medicine and computer science, he develops deep‑learning models to support real‑time clinical decision-making during stroke treatment.
**His talk´s title is:**
**Bridging the Implementation Gap in AI for Stroke Interventions: Challenges and Opportunities**
**Abstract:** In recent years, rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to a proliferation of AI models in medical imaging. However, despite promising performance in research settings, many of these models have yet to translate into meaningful clinical impact.
In this talk, Frank will highlight several AI models developed for stroke imaging and examine the barriers that hinder their implementation in clinical practice. He will explore potential pathways to overcome these challenges and conclude with an interactive discussion on co-creation as a strategy to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world adoption.
***
📍 **Location:** “Atrium” conference room, 5th floor, Spreepalais, Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin
🕕 **Doors open at 6:00 pm** — Talks start **at 7:00 pm!**

Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈 - Edition 014
**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin.
We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together.
We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff.
And you are welcome to join!
No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome!
To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)!
**Planned programme**
Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A.
With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location)** strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity.
This time, Florian Gilcher will give a small **workshop on structured and safe usage of *\`unsafe\`***. We will look at some common use-cases and
how common hazards can be avoided.
Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere.
**Projected upcoming meetups**
We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks).
11 June 2026 is our fourteenth meeting Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates:
* 9 Jul 2026
* 6 Aug 2026
* 3 Sep 2026
* 1 Oct 2026
* 29 Oct 2026
* 26 Nov 2026
**Location**
Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people.
We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup.
Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead.
As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot!
**Accessibility**
The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space.
On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility.
**Community**
We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/).
Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can.
We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/). You are very welcome to join!

Board Games (& Craft Beer!)
Join us for a cozy board game meetup full of strategy, chaos, bluffing and critical alliances!
🫀 We’ll have games like *The Crew, Love Letter, Decrypto, New Frontiers,* and *Monopoly* available, but the idea is to bring your own favourites too and to introduce us to them. **If you can, bring at least one game with you.** :)
🫀 Whether you’re into quick party games or longer tabletop epics, there’ll be something for every kind of player.
🫀 The small entry fee helps encourage reliable RSVPs and goes toward snacks for everyone, because no great board game night survives on cardboard alone.
See you soon, heart shaped friends 🫶
Cookies & Boardgames 2026
You are invited to a Cookies&Boardgames evening in Charlottenburg.
There is enough space for 3 board game tables and about 15 people. In addition to this meetup participants, other people from my board game group will join.
My games collection includes party games like Code Names, Saboteur, Camel Cup, euro games like Wingspan, Ecos, Photosynthesis, dexterity games like Menara and Junk Art, and some heavy weights like Tapestry and Civilization.
Feel free to bring your own board games too :)
My apartment is in short walking distance from Messe Nord subway station. You will get the full address to my apartment via meetup app message.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
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.
Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease.
This walk is a simple reset.
We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment.
No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening.
If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk.
✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):**
* A short arrival and orientation
* A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation)
* One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress
* Optional reflection in pairs or small groups
* A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life
🚶**Who this is for:**
* Professionals, creatives, and people in transition.
* People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance.
* Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical.
* Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation.
🔔 **Practical notes:**
* Duration: 60-90 minutes
* Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
* No prior experience needed
* Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused
🧭 **Facilitator:**
My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction.
🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?**
Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense.
Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world.
The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it.
🌿 **Possible effects:**
A calmer nervous system.
Clearer attention.
A felt sense of being more present in your body.
Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions.
A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city.
**Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
