**Designing the Next Generation of AI Experiences** AI products are evolving faster than ever. But while interfaces become smarter, trust, clarity, and usability often lag behind. Join us for an evening exploring how designers shape AI experiences people can actually understand, trust, and use with confidence. Together with leading voices from the design industry, we’ll discuss the challenges of designing for AI-driven products, emerging UX patterns, and what it takes to build meaningful human-centered experiences in an increasingly automated world. The evening will feature several keynotes, followed by a panel discussion and networking with Berlin’s design community. **Speakers & Talks** ## Speakers & Talks ​**[Rafaela Stamboroski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rstamboroski/?utm_source=luma)** Model Behavior Designer for Joule at SAP ​**Talk: Guarding the Guardrails: The Designer’s Role as Behavior Becomes the Product** Designers have always created shared context: aligning people, decisions, workflows, and business goals around user needs. In AI-native products, this skill becomes even more critical. Strategy and systems thinking turn into behavior alignment: shaping how AI acts, responds, and collaborates with humans. ​This talk explores why the designer’s role is not shrinking in the AI paradigm. Instead, designers are moving upstream: defining guardrails, influencing product strategy, and helping businesses deliver AI value safely and meaningfully. ​**[Abanoub Awny](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abanoubawny/?utm_source=luma)** Sr. UX Designer & AI Innovator @ SAP Signavio, Founder of [Unblind UX](https://www.linkedin.com/company/unblindux/?utm_source=luma) ​ **Talk: Your Next User Isn’t Human** AI is no longer just a feature inside digital products. It is becoming an active participant in how products are used, interpreted, and operated. As agents begin to navigate workflows, consume system structures, interpret content, make recommendations, and collaborate with humans, design must evolve beyond screens and interactions. This talk challenges designers, product teams, and developers to rethink what “user experience” means when the next user of your system may not be human. ​**[Anna Herasymenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaisdesigner/?utm_source=luma)** Staff Product Designer at Meta, working at the intersection of AI, systems thinking, and product craft. ​**Talk: Vibe Coding for Craft** AI products can't be designed in static tools. The behavior is the experience — and behavior only shows up when real APIs and real data are in the loop. Designing in Figma is like planning a meal with pre-chopped ingredients. Vibe coding is actually cooking it: discovering the oven runs slow, the recipe has a typo, a spice is missing. That gap between planning and cooking is where craft lives. ​This talk reframes AI-assisted coding as a repeatable workflow for designing AI experiences: stress-testing edge cases, surfacing the failure modes static design tools hide, and closing the gap between looks right and feels right. **[Kate Hofmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-hofmann-ux/?utm_source=luma)** UX design leader with an enterprise focus and experience building and managing large design teams and multimillion-dollar design portfolios. Worked closely with organisations like SAP, Boeing, Microsoft, UBS, DHL, Flexera. **Talk: The Last Dashboard. What enterprise software looks like when AI becomes the primary interface.** For decades we designed enterprise software around the same assumption that users must navigate dashboards, analyse data, interpret reports, and decide what to do next. For ±20 years we’ve been obsessed with reducing clicks, then reducing forms, reducing friction. But as software takes over more of the analysis and decision-support tasks - do users still need interface at all? What is left for UX to design, and what becomes the role of UX? **Agenda** **18:00 — Doors Open & Networking** **18:30 — Keynote Presentations** **20:00 — Panel Discussion** **20:45 — Community Networking** **Venue Host** Hosted by **[SAP Office](https://www.sap.com/germany/about/berlin.html)** in Berlin — a front-runner and thought leader in enterprise application software, focusing on innovating parts of the core business, exploring trends, and developing new technologies. **Hosts** This event is organized by [Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma) ambassadors (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about?utm_source=luma)): * [Emiliia Karpiuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emiliiakarpiuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Julia Savchuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliia-savchuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Yuliia Kovalova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliiakovalovapm/?skipRedirect=true) **Photos & Video** Please note that we will be taking photos at this event.

Hello everyone, We would love to invite you to a free, relaxed hands-on science evening for adults, where we will explore one of the most fascinating molecules of life: DNA. This workshop is a chance to come together, learn something new, and enjoy a friendly community exchange. The evening is free of charge, open to everyone, whether you already enjoy science or are simply curious and would like to try something different. We will begin with a short introduction to what DNA is, then we will focus on strawberry DNA and explore why strawberries are especially useful for this kind of experiment. During the session, you will also have the chance to look at strawberry cells under the microscope before carrying out a simple DNA extraction. By the end of the activity, you will be able to see real strawberry DNA with your own eyes. No previous science knowledge is required — just curiosity, a willingness to explore, and an interest in spending a relaxed evening learning together. The workshop will take place in a classroom setting, so participation is limited to 25 people. If you would like to join us, please register using the link below: **Registration link:** Discover DNA: Strawberry Science Evening \| DFN\-Terminplaner\. Please come in comfortable clothes, as we will be working with strawberries and hands-on materials. The focus of the evening is learning, exploring, and having fun with science. We look forward to discovering DNA with you! **Date:** 15 June 2026 **Time:** 18:00–19:30 We look forward to an enjoyable evening of discovery, curiosity, and community. For any questions, feel free to send me a private message. Kindly, Maria

Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

! All sessions in English except for 24.03, 21.04, 09.06, 28.07 & 01.09- these sessions will be in German ! Wanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship? Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you. Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness. Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with. **What to expect:** * **Discourse, demo practice and Q&A**: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions * **Tantra meditation practice**: presence, movement, sound and breath * **Sharing before and after practice**: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience * **Cozy studio setting**: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment * **No partner-exchange:** practice only with your partner * **Fully clothed:** you may keep your clothes on during the entire practice **What to bring:** * Wear comfortable clothing * Water bottle to stay hydrated **Tickets:** 69€ per couple.

Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time !!** Once we start the session, I can’t let you in anymore because it disturbs the class. Please do yourself and the group a favour by coming on time. Thank you! **Workshop facilitator** Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world. I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
