Japanese Coaster Making & Udon Experience
**RESERVATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!**
_____________________________________________________
***Create your own Japanese-kumiko technique wooden coasters and enjoy an authentic udon experience***
Join our collaborate event by wanowa and Shodo Udon Lab!
In this hands-on workshop, you'll create two unique wooden coasters using traditional Japanese **Mon'yō (文様)** patterns. These motifs have been used in architecture, textiles, and everyday objects for centuries, expressing ideas of harmony, nature, and connection.
Rather than simply following a template, you'll have the freedom to experiment with color, composition, and pattern combinations to create a design that reflects your own aesthetic.
**What is KAKERA?**
"Kakera" (かけら) means *fragment* or *piece* in Japanese.
The coaster is assembled from individual wooden pieces that come together to form a larger composition of a traditional Monyo pattern. Each participant creates their own interpretation, making every coaster slightly different.
The workshop combines traditional Japanese craft of Kumiko with contemporary digital fabrication techniques. The pieces are designed to fit without nail or glue,
**Learn about Japanese craft and design**
* Introduction to Japanese Mon'yō patterns
* Stories behind geometric motifs such as Asanoha and Kikkō
* Insights into wood craftsmanship Kumiko and material culture in Japan
**Create two handcrafted coasters**
* Assemble and finish your own designs
* Experiment with traditional color pallette and pattern combinations
* Take home two finished coasters
**Enjoy Japanese udon and tea**
After the workshop, we will serve freshly prepared curry udon (vegan option available) and Japanese tea.
It's the perfect opportunity to use your newly made coasters while getting to know other participants in a relaxed atmosphere.
**About the Hosts**
**Wanowa**
Founded by Japanese architect and maker **Maya Utsunomiya**, Wanowa creates spaces where people connect through making. Drawing from the Japanese philosophy of *Monozukuri* (the spirit of craftsmanship), Wanowa's workshops combine design, creativity, and cultural exchange.

AI for Non-Techies
**Die meisten nutzen Claude bisher nur im Chat-Fenster.**
Ein möglicher nächster Schritt heißt ***Claude*** ***Cowork***: Claudes Desktop-App greift direkt auf deine Dateien zu und übernimmt ganze Workflows statt einzelner Prompts. Die Einstiegshürde ist höher als beim Chat — und genau da setzt dieser Abend an. Am Ende gehst du mit Cowork auf deinem Rechner, einem ersten Setup für einen echten Use Case und einer klaren Idee, was du damit morgen machst.
Durch den Abend führt **Daniel Wäsch, Partner bei Teclead Ventures.**
**Für wen das passt:**
* **Du nutzt Claude im Chat** und willst den nächsten Schritt: Dateien, Automation, eigener Workspace
* **Du experimentierst schon mit AI** im Alltag oder im Team und willst sehen, wie andere damit produktiv arbeiten
* **Du hast Team- oder Bereichsverantwortung** und überlegst, wie ihr AI strukturiert einführt — was Mitarbeiter wirklich brauchen, was nur Workshop-Hype ist
* **Du studierst oder stehst am Berufseinstieg** und willst praktische AI-Erfahrung, um eine bessere Chance am Arbeitsmarkt zu haben
*Vorkenntnisse helfen, sind aber keine Voraussetzung. Der Praxisteil läuft in kleinen Gruppen, abgestuft nach Vorerfahrung.*
**Ablauf:**
* **18:00 – 18:30** — Ankommen, Getränke, Kennenlernen
* **18:30 – 19:15** — Impulsvortrag von Daniel zu Cowork oder einem Grundlagenthema (Tokens & Kontext, 4D AI Fluency)
* **19:15 – 20:30** — Hands-on in kleinen Gruppen. Du arbeitest entweder an einer unserer sechs vorbereiteten Cowork-Demos (Vertragsanalyse, Vibecoding-Landingpage, Sales-Outreach, Content-Pipeline, Event-Wrap-Up, Strategie-Sparring) oder an einem eigenen Use Case
* **20:30 – 21:00** — Pizza und Austausch zum Abschluss
**Was du konkret mitnimmst:**
* Ein funktionierendes Cowork-Setup auf deinem Rechner
* Eine konkrete Idee, wo Cowork dir im Alltag, Studium oder Job Zeit spart
* Zugang zu unserem Drive-Ordner: sechs Cowork-Demos als interaktiver Playground mit Beispieldaten, das Tokens-&-Kontext-Handout mit der Schreibtisch-Analogie, die 4D-AI-Fluency-Reference-Card (Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence) als Kompass für die Arbeit mit AI
* Kontakt zu anderen Teilnehmenden aus der Berliner KI-Community
**Was du mitbringst:**
* Laptop
* Idealerweise einen Claude-Account mit Pro- oder Max-Plan — Cowork ist im Free-Plan nicht enthalten.
* **Empfohlen, nicht Pflicht:** einen eigenen Use Case.
**Logistik:**
* Dienstag, 16.06.2026, 18:00 – 21:00 Uhr
* Teclead Ventures (im Viktoriahof), Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin (U-Bahnhof Heinrich-Heine-Straße)
* 25 Plätze, kostenlos, Verpflegung inklusive

Episode 3 of the 2026 Edition - The longest Kotlin night of the year
The longest day of the year is comming and let's another Kotlin meetup. This time we geather at N26!
**⚠️⚠️⚠️ Due to a venue policy please submit the following form for additional details. Without it, you won't be allowed inside the venue:**
https://forms.gle/XjqVXkD3FARCM6jA8
**Line-Up:**
👉 **TestBalloon: Kotlin testing is easier (and more fun) than you think**
*by Oliver Okrongli*
You want an easier way to write tests? Parameterize tests in plain Kotlin? Reuse a series of tests? Easily extend own your test setup? Have first-class support on all platforms? All without struggling with a huge framework API? TestBalloon is a new test framework that brings the power of Kotlin to your test setup. With a small-surface API, a hierarchical test structure and an extensible DSL, TestBalloon makes Kotlin testing easy, even at scale. Oliver, the author of TestBalloon, will show testing patterns and strategies and lots of practical examples, ranging from simple unit tests with less boilerplate to advanced testing with coroutines and generated data. This talk is based on insights first presented at KotlinConf 2026 in Munich. At the end of this talk, you’ll be able to firmly the answer the question: "How can I master Kotlin testing with ease, and make my team release with joy and confidence, every time?"
👉 **One Topic to Rule 'Em All**
*by Yonatan Karp-Rudin*
Kafka delivered every event exactly once, in order, and lost nothing. So what broke? This talk follows that question into the gap most event-driven systems leave open: what actually guarantees the order your domain depends on, and what quietly doesn't. We start from a real log line, find the crack in an architecture that looks clean and ships fast, and rule out the fix everyone reaches for first. The cure turns out to be one sentence of domain thinking plus one line of config, though the Schema Registry will fight you on the way there. A live demo runs the bug and the fix back to back: same load, same hero, one change. If you build with Kafka, you have probably shipped a version of this bug. You will leave able to spot it and fix it before it pages someone.
👉 **TBD**
**Speaker Bios:**
🗣 Oliver Okrongli
Oliver has been shaping and creating software from backend to frontends. He is the author of TestBalloon, a next-generation Kotlin test framework. Before, he has helped to maintain Kotest, and contributed to several libraries of the Kotlin ecosystem as well as the Kotlin compiler. Can be found on GitHub (OliverO2) and the kotlinlang Slack (Oliver O).
When not developing, he is most probably in deep talks, dancing, snowboarding or F18 catamaran sailing whenever he gets a chance.
🗣 Yonatan Karp-Rudin
Yonatan Karp-Rudin is a Staff Engineer at Billie, building event-driven systems in Kotlin and Spring Boot. Off the clock, he plays with AI agents and builds random tooling, trying to hand off as much of his own workflow to a machine as he can. The rest of the time he's brewing mead or deep in a video game.
**🗣 TBD**
***DINNER + LIVE BALKAN MUSIC @ ŠLJIVA***
Hey Balkaneros!
This is the perfect opportunity to connect with fun people while having delicious food and listening to live Balkan folk music.
First-time attendees often say things like, “How did I not know about this?” and “This is such a unique experience in Berlin!” So, if you haven’t been to Šljiva yet, you’re definitely missing out.
Check out [Šljiva's Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sljivaberlin/) for some impressions.
There will be a **fee of 8 euros** to participate in the event. Please send it through PayPal to ellenit.hernandez@gmail.com after you sign up. There are **only six spots**, so I'll only reserve your spot when you sign up AND send the money.
This is meant to prevent last-minute cancellations. The money will go to the musicians.
See you!

Walk of Change #1: Raus aus Unklarheit
**Kurzbeschreibung**
Afterwork-Brainwalking von ARC Live über Veränderung, Klarheit und neue Perspektiven.
**Beschreibung**
Walk of Change ist ein neues Format von ARC Live in Berlin.
Nach einem Tag voller Meetings, Mails und Bildschirme bietet der Walk of Change einen anderen Raum: Bewegung, frische Luft, gute Fragen und Austausch auf Augenhöhe.
Wir sitzen nicht vor einem Bildschirm und sprechen über Veränderung. Wir gehen los. Schritt für Schritt.
Wir nutzen Brainwalking als Methode für besseres Denken in Bewegung: Gehen, Nachdenken und Austausch verbinden sich zu neuen Perspektiven.
Der Walk of Change ist offen für alle, die Veränderung im beruflichen Kontext erleben, gestalten oder besser verstehen möchten.
Es geht nicht um einen Vortrag, keinen Pitch und keine Tool-Demo. Es geht um Bewegung, Austausch und neue Perspektiven.
**Thema dieser ersten Session:**
Raus aus der Unklarheit
**Leitfrage:**
Was hilft uns, in Zeiten von Veränderung wieder klarer zu sehen?
Du musst keinen Fall vorbereiten und kein konkretes Problem mitbringen. Du kannst den Walk nutzen, um für dich selbst nachzudenken, dich locker mit anderen auszutauschen oder tiefer über Veränderung, Klarheit und Perspektiven zu sprechen.
Unsere Route startet am **Platz des 09. November 1989**, einem Ort, an dem Veränderung in Berlin unmittelbar sichtbar wird (S-Bhf. Bornholmer Straße). Von dort gehen wir in Richtung **Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer**, durch einen Stadtraum, in dem Grenzen, Übergänge und Neubeginn sichtbar werden.
Der Walk ist keine Stadtführung, sondern ein geführter Reflexionsspaziergang mit einer gemeinsamen Leitfrage. Und ganz nebenbei kommen wir nach einem langen Arbeitstag wieder in Bewegung.
**Format**
Der Walk dauert ca. 2 Stunden und folgt einem einfachen, offenen Rahmen.
Wir starten mit einer kurzen Begrüßung, einer Einführung in das Format und der Leitfrage des Abends.
Danach gehen wir gemeinsam los, in wechselnden Gesprächen, kleinen Gruppen oder auch zeitweise still. Die Leitfrage begleitet den Walk, ohne dass daraus ein Workshop oder eine Beratungssession wird.
Unterwegs gibt es kurze Reflexionsimpulse oder Gesprächsfragen. Du entscheidest selbst, wie tief du einsteigen möchtest.
Zum Abschluss sammeln wir freiwillig, was jede:r mitnimmt: eine Frage, eine Beobachtung, eine Erkenntnis oder vielleicht einen nächsten Gedanken.
**Wichtig**
Bitte bring bequeme Schuhe, wettergerechte Kleidung und Neugier auf Veränderung mit.
Das Event findet draußen statt. Bei starkem Regen oder Unwetter passen wir das Format kurzfristig an.
**Treffpunkt**: Platz des 09. November 1989, Bornholmer Straße
**Ziel / Richtung**: Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer
**Sprache**: Deutsch
**Dauer**: ca. 2 Stunden
**Format**: Afterwork-Spaziergang, Reflexion, Austausch
**Vorbereitung**: keine notwendig
**Begleitet von:**
Anthony B. Holtz, Entwickler von ARC
Free Trial Class: Salsa Cubana (Casino) IV
## **Casino IV**
**🕖 7:00–8:30 PM**
**📍 Kopenhagener Straße 16, 10437 Berlin**
**In this course, we will build on and review the topics from Casino II.**
**To join, you should be familiar with figures such as:**
**enchufla variations, desplazamientos (saloneo / paseos), Coca-Cola, vacílala…**
**We will start adding footwork and arm styling (functional styling) to enrich your dancing while keeping movements clear and connected. ✨**
**As always, we stay true to our philosophy:**
**It’s not the number of figures that makes you a “good dancer” — it’s your communication with your partner and with the music.**
**That’s exactly how this course is structured. 💛**
**If you need more information or are unsure whether this level is right for you, feel free to contact us 😊**
**📧 info@puntocubanoberlin.com**
**📞 +49 155 100 966 28**
**💛 What to Expect from a Free Trial Class**
**If you choose to join a free trial class, please note that you will be joining an ongoing course.**
**The purpose of the trial class is twofold: it gives you the opportunity to get an impression of us as teachers, our teaching style, and the level of the course, while also giving us the opportunity to get to know you as a dancer.**
**We believe that one of the advantages of joining a dance school is being able to trust the teachers' experience and criteria. During the trial class, we not only help you decide whether the course feels right for you, but we also assess whether it is the best fit for your current level and learning journey.**
**Our goal is not simply to place you in a class, but to help you find your happy place within our dance community — the environment where you can learn most comfortably, progress steadily, and enjoy dancing the most.**
**The final decision regarding the level is therefore ultimately ours. If we notice that you are struggling significantly with the material, we may ask you to observe the remainder of the class and recommend a different level instead.**
**This is not meant to embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable. Quite the opposite: it allows us to stay true to our values regarding technique, learning quality, and the comfort of the students who have been learning and progressing in the course over time.**
**In the long run, you'll probably be grateful for being placed in the level that supports your growth and enjoyment the most. 😊**
**We are very much looking forward to meeting you and dancing with you!**
**Yago, Helen, Pamela, Marion, Leo & Sylvaan**

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/
