Industry 4.0

Meet us for in-person talks at Zalando on February 17, 2026! Join us for an evening of practical talks on how GenAI is reshaping modern engineering workflows, from code agents to production-grade, guardrailed systems. Please make sure you register with your full name, as it will be checked by security on arrival. **📅Date and Time:** Tuesday, February 17, 2026 Doors open: 18:00 Opening & announcements: 18:30 Talks start: 18:35 Wrap-up & networking: \~20:30 📍**Location:** [Zalando Office BHW](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GELYd8FH7AnqEFNF8) Berlin Hedwig-Wachenheimstraße 7 (BHW) The main entrance is on the west-side of the building (towards Uber Arena). Participants should register at the Helpdesk, and will be picked up from there. 📝 **Agenda:** **18:00 – Doors Open** Pizza, drinks, and networking **18:30 – Opening** Short welcome and announcements from the organizers (5 min) ### **18:35 – Talk #1** **Building Blocks of Modern Code Agents: Reusable Skills and Role-Based Subagents** **[Alexey Grigorev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/agrigorev) — DataTalk.Club** A practical map of modern code agent types and the two key building blocks that make them reliable in real-world development workflows. Code agents appear in many forms today: chat-based assistants, cloud agents running CI-like workflows, and IDE or terminal agents embedded directly into development environments. In this talk, we’ll map these main categories, discuss what each is good at, and highlight where they commonly fail. We’ll then zoom in on two core building blocks used in modern agent tooling: * **Skills / playbooks** — reusable, step-by-step workflows (e.g. understand the repo → implement a change → run checks → produce a clean diff) * **Subagents** — specialized roles such as planner, implementer, reviewer, and tester that split complex work into focused, reliable steps **Format:** 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A ### **19:05 – Talk #2** **Guardrailed Agents at Scale: Zalando’s Support Agent for Incident Triage and Stakeholder Q&A** **[Ivan Potapov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-sur/)**, **[Saugandh Karan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saugandh-karan/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/saugandh-karan/)— Zalando SE We’ll share how Zalando built and shipped a specialized internal support agent that helps engineering teams answer stakeholder questions and triage operational alerts — without drowning in context or compromising production safety. The agent enriches user requests with relevant observability context (metrics, logs, traces, recent deploys), summarizes what matters, and produces a severity assessment with recommended next steps. A key challenge is context explosion: pulling “all the data” quickly becomes noisy, slow, and risky. We’ll walk through the architecture patterns and guardrails that keep the system production-ready: * Retrieval and ranking strategies * Strict tool boundaries * Policy-driven response formats * Evaluation checks to prevent overconfident or unsafe guidance Finally, we’ll cover rollout and migration: introducing the agent alongside existing workflows, aligning it with architecture guidelines, and iterating based on real incident feedback. **Format:** 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A ### **19:35 – Pizza, Drinks & Networking** Invite your friends and join our meetup. Special thanks to our hosts **[Zalando.](https://en.zalando.de/?_rfl=de)**

**Thank you for your interest in our meetup. Due to the venue’s capacity, registration is now closed.** We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at future events. __________________________________________________ Join us on February 17 as **Superhuman’s Data Engineering team** shares examples of **how they scaled from a writing assistant to an agent platform**, unified analytics and ML data, and migrated core systems without slowing product delivery. ✅ **Registration**: Closed 🚀 **Enabling Rapid Experimentation: Unifying Analytics and ML Data in Databricks** Enabling teams to rapidly experiment with new AI models requires breaking down silos between analytical data and ML training datasets. At Superhuman, we consolidated both into Databricks as we scaled from a writing assistant to an agent platform. In this talk, we will: * Share our journey from our fragmented data systems to a unified platform in Databricks * Walk through design choices on how we organize Workspaces, Unity Catalog, and data ingestion * Explain how we apply and manage our privacy policies, governance, and access control 🚀 **Rebuilding the Engine: Migrating Data Systems While Keeping Products Moving** During this talk, we'll explore how to migrate core data systems while maintaining product velocity amid organizational and architectural change. We’ll cover: * The migration philosophy behind translate vs. transplant, and when each approach makes sense * Key data validation challenges encountered during system migrations * How to scope migration efforts realistically under time and delivery pressure * Architectural trade-offs and lessons learned from high-impact decisions **About Speakers**: **[Niels van Kaam](https://www.linkedin.com/in/niels-van-kaam-aa731768/)** is a tech lead for the ML Data team at Superhuman, where he’s building the data foundation for the company’s transition from a writing assistant to an agent platform. Previously, he worked on large-scale data systems for ad-tech at Amadeus Berlin and on geospatial applications for startups in the Netherlands. **[Dave Heberer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-heberer/)** is a software engineer at Superhuman with nearly 25 years of experience building data infrastructure across major tech companies.

**Uncertain Times, Adaptive Teams** What’s the next evolution of Agile? Agile turns **25 years old in 2026**. A quarter of a century after a small group of practitioners met in the late 90s to rethink how teams could work better, we once again find ourselves in a moment of profound change. AI is reshaping roles. Organizations expect clarity and measurable impact. Teams are navigating increasing complexity and shifting expectations. In many ways, it feels similar to the period just before the Agile Manifesto emerged – a time when people sensed that a new way of working was about to take shape. So the question becomes: **What could the next evolution of Agile look like?** Let’s explore it together. **What to expect** Join us for an interactive Meetup that combines a short impulse with a collaborative **World Café**. Together, we will explore several potential future scenarios of Agile and reflect on the signals, patterns, and tensions we already see in our own environments. 🧩 **World Café Session** Move through different tables, each focused on a possible future of Agile — from AI‑supported teamwork to post‑framework agility. 💡 **Fresh Insights** Exchange experiences, challenges, observations, and emerging trends from your daily work. 🤝 **Co‑Creation Instead of Keynote** This isn’t about presenting the “one right answer.” It’s about thinking together and shaping new perspectives. **Who is this for?** Anyone working with or around agility: Product Owners, Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, leaders, transformation practitioners — or anyone curious about what might come next. **Why join?** Because 25 years after the Agile Manifesto, we may once again be standing at a moment where something new is beginning to emerge. And in this Meetup, **you can be part of that exploration.** 📅 **Date:** 19.02.2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:15 PM 📍 **Location:** Deloitte Greenhouse, Kurfürstendamm 23, 10719 Berlin > Ground Floor > 6+7 🎤 **Hosts:** Alexander Ständert, Deloitte Consulting GmbH, Deloitte Agile Community Seats are limited. Please register through the official Deloitte event page: 👉[Deloitte | Register ](https://cloud.marketing.deloitte.de/eventRegistration?eventname=Agile%20Meetup%20Feb%2026&locale=en) We look forward to shaping the next chapter of Agile with you! #Agile #FutureOfAgile #WorldCafe #AI #Adaptiveness #25YearsAgile #Meetup
