**What's On**
**đ 6:00pm:** Registration and Networking
**đ¤ 6:30 pm:** Keynote: *"More Than a Matter of Principle: How design gets us beyond theoretical AI Ethics"* with **[Noah Fraenkel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-fraenkel-4b17ba262/)**, GovTech Consultant at Possible
Drawing on his work at the intersection of government, technology, and public trust, Noah will challenge how we think about AI's role in systems that affect real people's lives.
**đŹ 7:00 pm:** Panel Discussion: The keynote ignites the conversation, the panel takes it forward.
Moderated by **[Wiebke Steffen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wiebke-steffen/)**, Senior UX Researcher at GetYourGuide, our panelists bring perspectives from across the product spectrum:
**Noah Fraenkel** \- GovTech Consultant @ Possible
**[Ziyong Lin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziyong-lin-55714b25/)** \- Lead UX Researcher @ GetYourGuide
**[Jake Mongaya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakemongaya/)** \- Engineering Manager @ SumUp
**[Maxim Romanovsky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxim-romanovsky/)** \- VP \- Head of AI & Product Engineering @ Deutsche Bank

**Everyone is racing to build with AI. But who is building it responsibly?**
There's a gold rush happening in tech right now and almost everyone is caught up in the excitement. AI features are being shipped at a rapid speed, products are being "enhanced" with machine intelligence overnight, and the pressure to move fast has never been higher.
But in the rush to innovate, some critical questions are getting buried: *Who's accountable when AI gets it wrong? How much should we hand over to automation and what do we silently lose when we do? And what are the risks we're not even seeing yet?*
These aren't hypothetical concerns. They're live, urgent, and sitting inside the products we're building right now.
**It's time to have the conversation that some teams are avoiding.**
UXDX Berlin is back! Join us at the GetYourGuide office in Prenzlauer Berg, where we will tackle the theme that every designer, researcher, and engineer needs to reckon with:
**"Designing Responsible AI: Trust, Autonomy & Hidden Risk"**
**Why This Event Matters**
The tools are powerful. The timelines are short. The consequences for users, for society, for trust in technology are long. If you're building products with AI, this isn't an optional conversation. It's the one you need to be in the room for.
**Come ready to think. Come ready to question. Come ready to build better.**
Thank you [GetYourGuide](https://www.getyourguide.com/) for supporting the event!

Practical observations on performance, legitimacy, and leadership
**ESMT Insight Hour with Paul M. Achleitner**
**Schedule:**
5:30 p.m. - Registration opens
6:00 p.m. - Welcome from host, ESMT Berlin
6:05 p.m. - Talk of Paul M. Achleitner
6:30 p.m. - Discussion and Q&A
7:00 p.m. - Networking, drinks and nibbles will be provided
8:30 p.m. - Close
Experience used to accumulate slowly. Today, decisions travel instantly, legitimacy can evaporate overnight, and leaders operate under permanent public scrutiny.
So how do you lead and stay legitimate in a world that no longer feels stable?
In this ESMT Insight Hour, **[Paul M. Achleitner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-achleitner/)** joins us for a moderated conversation on leadership, corporate legitimacy, and performance in times of geopolitical disruption, digital transparency, and shifting societal expectations.
Drawing on more than four decades across Goldman Sachs, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, and multiple supervisory boards, and reflecting the themes of his recent book,âŻ*Accelerate Your Experience: Principles for Success in a Fluid World*, Achleitner proposes three interconnected dimensions of modern management:
* **Legitimacy**âŻâ why companies must earn their place in society beyond financial performance
* **Performance**âŻâ how sustained value creation requires focus, discipline, and strategic clarity
* **Leadership**âŻâ what integrity, intellectual humility, and judgment mean in an era of permanent visibility
Rather than offering prescriptions, he distills experience into principles on stakeholder dynamics, public attention, geopolitical disruption, AI, crisis management, and the realities of âmuddling through.â
The conversation will explore:
* Why legitimacy has become the decisive constraint for corporations
* How leaders balance long-term value creation with short-term scrutiny
* What performance really means when underperformance becomes normalized
* The evolving role of boards in turbulent environments
* Whether experience can, in fact, be âacceleratedâ
Join us for an hour of reflection on leadership under pressure and on what it takes to remain effective, credible, and resilient.

Berlin Cybersecurity Social #25
This session is part of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social communityâs monthly meetup, where security professionals, leaders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge and connect. So are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further!
**Transforming Classical Encryption to Post-Quantum Encryption for Financial Services**
Quantum computing is set to break todayâs encryption, creating urgent risks for financial institutions. This session explores how organizations can transition from classical cryptography to post-quantum security using hybrid approaches, improved cryptographic visibility, and emerging compliance frameworks.
Revan cover practical steps to become quantum-ready without disrupting existing systems, with a focus on balancing security, compliance, and operational continuity.
**What youâll learn:**
⢠Why the quantum threat is already relevant today, not just in the future
⢠How classical encryption (RSA, ECC) will be impacted
⢠Why hybrid post-quantum cryptography is the safest transition path
⢠The role of cryptographic visibility (CBOM) in managing risk
⢠How regulations like DORA and NIS2 are accelerating adoption
⢠How early adoption can strengthen security and create competitive advantage
**About the Speaker: Revan Ande** is a security researcher and founder of RivicQ, a startup focused on advancing next-generation cryptographic solutions. With a strong interest in post-quantum security and its impact on financial systems, he works on bridging the gap between classical encryption methods and quantum-resilient technologies.
He actively shares insights on emerging security challenges and innovations, with a focus on making post-quantum concepts practical and actionable for modern organizations.
**About Berlin Cybersecurity Social:** This meetup is open to cybersecurity professionals of all levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your journey in the field, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for cybersecurity.

AI Is Already Screening You â Learn How to Win Jobs, Clients & Projects
Learn how to use AI to get past screening systems and land real opportunities â from jobs to freelance projects.
Companies are already using AI to filter CVs before a human ever reads them. That's the reality. But here's the thing - AI is just a tool. And tools can be used by both sides.
In this hands-on workshop - hosted by the Smart Coop Germany - you'll learn how to use Claude AI to write applications that work with AI screening systems, not against them. Sharper CVs, stronger cover letters, better chances. This workshop is part of Smart's commitment to its community: freelancers who are self-employed, but not alone. Whether you're looking for your next client, a new project, or a full-time role - this is for you.
What to bring:
\- Laptop or iPad \(smartphone only = tough mode đ
\)
\- Claude account \(free tier works\, paid recommended\)
\- Your CV \+ a cover letter \(any version\)
\- LinkedIn or Xing profile as PDF if you have one
\- 1\-2 digital photos of yourself or your work
Limited to \~15 people - because this is a real workshop, not a lecture.
Trainer:
Thomas Fischer is a Berlin-based IT consultant with 15+ years in the game. While studying Security & Safety Engineering, he started building an Arduino-based monitoring system for a nuclear reactor. As a consultant, he made his mark building the test infrastructure for the VPN-Zugangsdienst of Germany's electronic health card. He ran Europe's first car-hacking workshop at Confidence in Cracow and has presented at security conferences in Odessa, Budapest, and Cracow. In the last year, he dove deep into Berlin's AI scene, publishing his own apps and building Industry 4.0 ecosystems.
Hosted at Smart Cooperative Germany as the part of WorkCoopHub projects, funded by BMWE.

Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
Hello! Iâm organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. đ
To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called âPomodoroâ technique:
**50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat!
You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine.
ââââââââââââââââââ-
AGENDA:
* **Short Intro**
Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today
* **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\)
Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused âdeep workâ (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**)
-> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others
-> Repeat
* **15 mins Wrap Up**
Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others đ
ââââ
The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!)
Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case đ
You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the cafĂŠ space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange
At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter.
This is the follow-up.
Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered â and honestly explore whatâs actually happening now.
Together, weâll explore:
⢠What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in
⢠Whatâs surprised you, supported you, or shifted
⢠What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know
If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote â your word, your artifact, your intention. Weâll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. Youâll start where we all started: with whatâs true right now.
Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, youâre warmly invited to bring it back.
The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
What to Expect
⢠A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
⢠Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
⢠Reflection, listening, and lived experience â not advice-giving
⢠Optional creative reflection alongside conversation
⢠A calm, supportive environment
Who This Is For
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change â especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
Good to Know
⢠No preparation required
⢠If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - itâs optional but invited
⢠Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome

Itâs time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
