AWS User Group Berlin Session - January 2026
Dear Community,
as we step into the year ahead, we’re full of excitement for what’s to come and can’t wait to welcome you to our first session of the year at our new home, NLND Berlin.
Check out the details below, and we look forward to having all of you with us!

18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & NLND
19:00 - 19:40 - **Dr. Andreas E. Wagner // Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for An AI-powered Future**
As leaders create an AI-powered future, they need to integrate their cognitive intelligence with their emotional intelligence to build adaptable, resilient, and innovative organizations. These leaders have deep empathy for customers and foster a culture of creativity and psychological safety among their employees.
They need to be data-driven but also authentically human. This session will help leaders understand the EPIC attributes needed to drive successful outcomes in the new human+AI era.
Andreas is an experienced Business Coach. He has held senior management functions in sales, services, business development, and marketing. Through his experience at AWS, Ericsson, Huawei, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Ingram, Andreas has gained a very good insight in several industries and diverse cultural leadership contexts.

We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence.
Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.

#28 AI Series: ETH Zürich - J. Hübotter
We are excited to feature **Jonas Hübotter**, who is currently a PhD student at **ETH Zürich** and will discuss "**Test-Time Training Agents for Deep Exploration**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.**
Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free.
**Who is this event for?**
This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning.
**Abstract**: The standard paradigm of machine learning separates training and testing. Training aims to learn a model by extracting general rules from data, and testing applies this model to new, unseen data. We study an alternative paradigm where the model is trained at test-time specifically for the given task. We investigate why such test-time training can effectively specialize a model to individual tasks. Further, we demonstrate that such test-time training enables models to continually improve and eventually solve challenging tasks, which are out of reach for the initial model.
**Bio**: [Jonas](https://jonhue.github.io/) is a PhD student in the Learning and Adaptive Systems Group at ETH Zurich, advised by Andreas Krause. His research focuses on test-time training and reinforcement learning, with broader interests in probabilistic inference, optimization, and online learning. He received an MSc in Theoretical Computer Science and Machine Learning from ETH Zurich, where he was awarded the ETH Medal, and a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from the Technical University of Munich. His work has been published at NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and COLM.
We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning. This winter 2025/26, we will, again, host an exciting speaker series on site in Berlin, featuring excellent researchers from Tübingen AI Center, DeepMind, Microsoft, King's College London, cohere, and ETH Zürich.

People with good **friends live longer, happier, more succesful and healthier**. Big plus: **good friends are fun to be around**.
Hence, we offer this friendship workshop.
Some people say, “It's hard to find close friends in Berlin.”
Berlin, the city of a thousand possibilities... I know what you mean... I feel you.
.
.
**🚀 Let's do a workshop on real friendships!**
* Up to 40 people
* An easy-going facilitator guides through the evening
* You get to know each other
* latest research about real friendships
* Those who want: meet again. Simple.
.
**Be surprised, how familiar you will feel after three hours.**
.
.
⏰ **The door opens at 6:45 p.m. Be punctual, be on time. Germany ;).**
* Hang up your coat, go to the bathroom, get a tea, chat a bit, find a seat, and then get started.
* No entrance after 6:59 pm, because workshop has started by then. No exceptions.
.
.
**🔱 4 years of work - 1 workshop**
For four years, I have researched and experimented on how people become friends.
This evening is the result.
You'll get the latest bites of friendship theory, plus practical tools that are easy to implement.
Above all, you'll try things out together. It's fun.
* Once, a participant said to me: “Georg, this stuff works magically!”
* What shall I say? “Yes! I hope so! That's what we are here for.”
**Imagine: a room full of pleasant people who are looking for real friendships.**
.
.
**🌞 Do you know the Mere Exposure Effect?**
It says: The more often you meet, the more familiar you will get.
On the workshop, I will tell you why your nervous system is like this. It is particularly relevant for shy, anxious or introverted people.
.
Hence, friendship grows on pleasant reunions, connection, reliability, and emotional depth.
.
To support this, we offer a wide range of activities: hikes, excursions, walks, women's evenings, men's evenings, and workshops on personal development, social skills and communication.
.
**Until you are connected with the right friends and click with them.**
.
That is the goal! 🤗

Reston Happy Hour: Scaling Cloud Infrastructure for Heavy Workloads
Gaming, AdTech, EdTech, Media Streaming, and FinTech are just a few of the workloads where high-availability cloud infrastructure matters. Whether you’re doing battle daily in one of these spaces or are just curious about ways to improve performance, meet us in Reston for an in-person discussion on bare metal cloud architecture. You’ll meet our product lead, James MacKenzie, who will walk through how modern bare metal serves as a control plane for hybrid and private cloud architectures.
**What we will cover**
* Ways to leverage bare metal, containers, and orchestration for better performance and predictable economics;
* Real-world hybrid, disaster recovery, and data-intensive architectures;
* Our approach to eliminating ingress and egress fees.
**Who should attend**
* Cloud architects and platform engineers;
* DevOps professionals and infrastructure leads;
* FinOps stakeholders managing data-heavy or hybrid workloads.

This is a technical, architecture-first conversation. You will leave with a clearer understanding of high-availability cloud infrastructure and how organizations are scaling cost-effectively.
Food and drinks will be provided. Space is limited to keep the discussion interactive.
BreadBreakers Community Dinner: Dialogue Across Divides
**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.**
In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good discourse and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy.
Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds.
**At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics could range from the political, to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com.
Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event.
We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures.
**Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.**
BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. All faiths and all stripes are welcomed. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.

**BreadBreakers is a community where people of all different belief systems and backgrounds can create community - and what better way to do that than reading together?**

* This will be a one-meeting club, so if you've ever wanted to do a book club but couldn't commit to multiple meetings, here's your opportunity!
* Snacks :)
* BreadBreakers ground rules apply - we'll lead with curiosity, converse with kindness, and strive to dig beneath the surface level.
* We'll be gathering in Meeting Room 1 at the Reston Regional Library.

* Our BreadBreakers table hosts will come ready with questions and facilitation skills - you come ready to discuss!
**I've never attended a BreadBreakers event before - what is BreadBreakers?**
BreadBreakers is a community where neighbors from all different beliefs and backgrounds can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** Most frequently, we do this through the ancient practice of breaking bread around a common dining table.
But we're more than just a discussion group - we're a movement to heal our world's broken discourse and forge togetherness in a time of isolation and loneliness. **Through the sacred act of just "being" together, we're working to rebuild the town square, one table (or book club) at a time.**
BreadBreakers is a religiously inclusive by Restoration United Methodist Church in Reston, VA. All faiths, beliefs, and stripes are welcomed, and our leadership and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.
Parlons français!
