100 Minuten Zukunft – Der Salon der Zukünfte @BEYDES
### Salon 02 - Thema: „Daten, KI und Supplements - Wie gesund sind und leben wir 2040 in Berlin?“
Impulse aus der Zukunftsforschung -Austausch - Workshop
### **Entwickle mit uns wieder dystopische, wünschenswerte und utopische Szenarien zur mentalen, körperlichen und digitalen Gesundheit!**
Unsere Gesundheit ist uns allen wichtig. Der Gesundheitsmarkt wächst und Longivity, KI und Suplements treiben die Entwicklung vorna. Gleichzeitig kommt unser gesundheitssystem an seine Gernezen.
Der **"Salon der Zukünfte**" öffnet einen Raum, um Zukunft zu denken.
Das Erlebnisformat beginnt mit einem pointierten Impuls zur Methode Futures Thinking und Informationen aus der Zukunftsforschung mit Fokus "Gesundheit".
Anschließend begebt ihr euch im Futures Thinking Zukunftssprint ins Jahr 2040.
In 100 Minuten entwickelt ihr in Teams in dem wissenschaftlich-kreativen Prozess unterschiedliche Szenarien zu eurem Kernthema.
**100 Minuten können reichen, um den Blick auf morgen neu zu ordnen.**
Neben **Design Thinking** ist **Futures Thinking** eine wichtige Methode, um mögliche Zukunftszenarien zu durchdenken. Der Methodenkoffer gibt Sicherheit in Veränderungsprozessen und hilft bei strategischen Entscheidungen. Wenn ihr die Methode vertiefen wollt, meldet euch beim 2-tägigen Methoden-Workshop an. Den Link findet ihr unten.
**Tickets / Anmeldung "Salon der Zukünfte" am 23.06.2026:**
https://www.eventbrite.de/e/100-minuten-zukunft-2-der-salon-der-zukunfte-beydes-tickets-1990316475155
**Ein Abend wie eine kleine Heldenreise**
Dieses besondere Erlebnisformat, verbindet Menschen aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Medien, Wirtschaft und engagierter Zivilgesellschaft – erfahrene Entscheider:innen und junge Zukunftsgestalter:innen.
Maximal 25 Personen können teilnehmen. Die Begrenzung ermöglicht
einen dynamischen und kreativen Prozess, echte Begegnung und Co-Creation zwischen Generationen und Disziplinen.
Der Kostenbeitrag enthält ein Getränk und senkt die No-Show-Rate.
**Der Salon stellt sich diesmal diese Fragen:**
* Was passiert, wenn Daten, KI und Supplements den Alltag bestimmen?
* Was passiert, wenn Gesundheit zur mentalen, finanziellen und sozialen Frage wird?
* Welche Trends treiben diese Entwicklung voran?
* Was bedeutet das konkret für die Gesundheit von uns Berlinerinnen und Berlinern?
Es geht um analytische Klarheit. Aktuelle Entwicklungen werden eingeordnet und der Blick geweitet. Was anfangs abstrakt erscheint, wird überraschend konkret. Diffuse Unsicherheiten verwandeln sich in beschreibbare Zukunftsbilder. Aus Diskussionen entstehen Handlungsoptionen.
**Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten**
Der Salon vermittelt mehr als Methodenkompetenz. Er stärkt ein Zukunfts-Mindset:
• Komplexität strukturiert denken
• Narrative erkennen und gestalten
• Risiken und Chancen systematisch abwägen
• konkrete nächste Schritte ableiten
Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Futures Thinking weder in Schule noch Universität selbstverständlich gelehrt wird, bietet dieses Format eine seltene Gelegenheit, Gestaltungskompetenz praktisch zu erleben.
**Regelmäßige Orientierung in komplexen Zeiten**
Wer die Methode vorher kennenlernen möchte, kann sich beim 2-tägigen Kurs für Berufliche Weiterbildung anmelden. [https://www.vhsit.berlin.de/VHSKURSE/BusinessPages/CourseDetail.aspx?id=762324](https://www.vhsit.berlin.de/VHSKURSE/BusinessPages/CourseDetail.aspx?id=762324)
Durchgeführt wird das Format diesmal von Elle Langer - sie ist Innovationsentwickler:innen und strategisches Zukunftsgestalterin und zusammen mit Ferdinand Linke und Florian Huss vom Team „100Minuten Zukunft“.
Der Salon „100 Minuten Zukunft“ @BEYDES findet regelmäßig alle 3 Monate zu unterschiedlichen Themen statt.
Nächster Termin ist wieder im September 2026 wieder 17:00 – 19:30 Uhr @BEYDES.

Designing APIs & Building Contextual Chatbots | Data Engineering Meetup
Two talks. One evening. Plenty of ideas to take home. We’re ready to kick things off for another Berlin Meetup, and are happy to present the speakers of the evening:
**[Jens Wriske](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-wriske-8b538a397/):** ***"Designing APIs on top of Data Platforms using Databricks"***
Modern data platforms increasingly follow a lakehouse architecture, where data remains owned and governed by domain teams rather than application developers. This session explores how APIs can be designed on top of Azure Databricks to provide access to heterogeneous data sources without duplicating or owning the underlying storage layer.
**[Tanuj Jain](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanuj-jain-10/): *"The Story Behind the Story: "Building a Contextual News Chatbot."***
Most news readers lack the background to fully engage with the stories they encounter. This talk walks through the development of a chatbot embedded in a news article page for a German news publisher, designed to give readers on-demand context about what they're reading. We share the key technical and product decisions made along the way, and what we learned about building an AI feature that sits at the intersection of editorial and user experience.

**Abstract:** Nearly every cancer diagnosis still begins with a pathologist examining a stained tissue slide under a microscope. Digital pathology turns those slides into gigapixel images — and with them, a uniquely demanding frontier for machine learning. But getting from raw pixels to clinically meaningful, quantitative insight about a tumor and its microenvironment is far from trivial.
In this workshop, Aignostics — a computational pathology company and Charité spin-off — walks you along the arc from core ML research to real-world application. We start with an overview of digital pathology and what makes it challenging for ML (gigapixel images, scarce labels, scanner and staining variability). We then look at how pathology foundation models are built and what separates a good one from a fragile one — not just accuracy, but robustness to non-biological artifacts — with a short hands-on segment. Finally, we put these models to work: with Atlas H&E-TME we profile the tumor microenvironment from routine H&E slides, and you'll get hands-on with OpenTME — an open dataset of TME profiles across five cancer types from TCGA — and TME Studio to run your own analyses.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.
