Connection Lab: Authentisch tiefe, freundschaftliche Verbindungen aufbauen
**đ¶ WertschĂ€tzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
**Du möchtest bessere Verbindungen in Deinen Freundschaften, Bekanntschaften, Deiner Partnerschaft & Deinen Arbeitsbeziehungen? Dieser Worskhop kann ein groĂer Schritt dazu sein.**
**Ein Workshop von Lorenz Kaplick (Psychologie).**
Vielleicht kennst du das GefĂŒhl, auf einem Event zu sein und immer wieder die gleichen GesprĂ€che zu fĂŒhren: "Was machst du beruflich?", "Wo kommst du her?", etc. - nett, aber irgendwie leer.
Du spĂŒrst: **Eigentlich möchte ich etwas Tieferes.**
An diesem Abend wollen wir einen sicheren Raum schaffen, in dem authentische Verbindung stattfinden kann.
Durch eine Reihe von Ăbungen und Spielen kommen wir Schritt fĂŒr Schritt unter die OberflĂ€che â und lernen, wie wir ganz wir selbst sein können - und gleichzeitig in Verbindung kommen.

Das Schöne ist: Wir lernen uns gegenseitig kennen & gleichzeitig nimmst Du Spiele und Methoden mit, um auch drauĂen leichter und angenehmer Menschen kennenzulernen.

**How the Sprachcafé works**
We use different materials to help participants gain confidence in German. Together with whiteboards and our volunteers, the Sprachcafé is based on **interactive conversations** in small groups.

The SprachcafĂ© has a **participation fee of 5 âŹ**, which helps cover organizational costs and **includes one soft drink for free**.
Tickets can be purchased directly on the day of the event, card and cash payments are accepted.
As the Sprachcafé has become very popular, we now need to **limit the number of participants**. Please understand this measure; it ensures that everyone has a comfortable space to practice.
We kindly ask you to be **rĂŒcksichtsvoll** and only RSVP âYesâ if you are certain you can attend.
If your plans change at the last minute, please update your RSVP so someone on the waiting list can take your spot.
Getting your ticket early can help secure your place.
**Please note**
Our event will begin **promptly** at the scheduled start time.
If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your participation, even if you have a ticket or have RSVPâd.
We encourage all guests to arrive on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Meetup for laid off folks in Berlin
Please RSVP on luma: https://luma.com/xmc1l5eg
# Laid off? Same!
Barely anyone I know hasn't been laid off at least once. Layoffs feel like another Tuesday right now. That's why I call us "Generation Layoff."
If you've been laid off, or feel one coming - this is your space. This meetup is for everybody pre-, during or post-layoff.
Whether you stressed out about an upcoming layoff or you've been laid off and now job-hunting or want to start something of your own - come and share.
No judgment, no pressure.
We share where we're at, what we're going through, and what's coming next.
This isn't another networking event where we hunt opportunities and call being laid off "impacted by company restructuring."
We connect people based on the challenges they're actually facing - so everyone leaves with something useful, whether that's a contact, a resource, or just knowing you're not alone.
Being laid off is often treated as a taboo topic - and it shouldn't be. We'll exchange all the insider tips and tricks and get stronger together.
What to Expect:
â A chill, zero-judgement safe space
â Addressing your challenges
â People helping people
ORGANISATIONAL STUFFS:
â We'll meet in a park, bring a blanket to sit on, a drink of your choice and some snacks, whatever it is you need for a picnic style.
ââ In case of rain we will go to the BRLO Brewery.
âIf you can't find us, call +4917626669794
âI will carry a sign with "GENERATION LAYOFF" though :D
âWe meet in Gleisdreieck park here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rC6fh9EprxEHnxEL7?g_st=ic](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rC6fh9EprxEHnxEL7?g_st=ic&utm_source=luma)

AWS Women's User Group Berlin: June Event - AI Agents in Production
**The AWS Womenâs User Group Berlin** is thrilled to invite you to our upcoming meetup sponsored by Storm Reply focused on **Building production-ready AI agents for real-world impact.**
Join us for a deep dive into how to build, observe, and evaluate AI agents at scale. Youâll also see how these ideas come to life in a real-world climate-smart agriculture solution that turns weather forecasts into actionable field guidance. Whether youâre building agentic systems today or planning what comes next, this meetup will give you practical insights into making AI agents work in production.
**Speaker Info**
**Keynote Talk**
**Speaker:** Tetiana Senna
**Position:** Team Lead / Senior Project Manager, Storm Reply
**Talk Title:** Trust, but Verify: Observability and Evaluations for AWS Agents
**Abstract:** Getting an AI agent to work in a demo is easy. Knowing whether it still works in production - after the next prompt change, the next model upgrade, the next edge case - is the hard part. Unit tests don't cover non-deterministic behavior, and manually reviewing a handful of runs doesn't scale.
This talk walks through the two practices that close that gap: observability (understanding what actually happened inside your agent) and evaluation (deciding whether the outcome was any good). We'll dig into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's Observability and Evaluations capabilities, compare the proven evaluation approaches - built-in LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators for automatic quality monitoring, and custom evaluators for business-specific correctness checks - with a candid look at what each one is good for, where it falls short, and what it costs to run at scale. We'll also take a close look at AgentCore Optimization, AWS's newly previewed feature in this space.
**Applied Agentic AI Talk**
**Speakers:**
**Vidhu Mitra Malladi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming
**Chamika Hasanthi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming
**Talk Title:** Weather Risk Intelligence Agent for farmers & Agronomist
Abstract: Unpredictable weather events â heavy rainfall, drought, frost, and heatwaves pose significant risk to crop yield and fertilizer efficiency. While forecast data is widely available, it is rarely translated into timely; field-level guidance farmers can act upon.
Using AWS AgentCore framework and AI capabilities, we can turn weather predictions into clear agronomic actions, supporting climate-smart agriculture at scale.
**You'l learn:**
* Implementation of the solution using AWS Agent Core framework
* Architecture of the project.

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), weâre shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why Iâd even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
The Completely Series
These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines:
Mechanical Mastery (MM) - 13 weeks of the series
Exposure Mastery (EM) - 26 weeks of the series
Composition Mastery (CM) - A 52 week series
All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows:
Q3/26 - MM (Iter 1), EM (Iter 1, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt1)
Q4/26 - MM (Iter 2), EM (Iter 1, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt2)
Q1/27 - MM (Iter 3), EM (Iter 2, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt3)
Q2/27 - MM (Iter 4), EM (Iter 2, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt4)
That's likely confusing, but essentially, MM offered 4 times in that period, EM offered 2 times, and CM offered 1 time.
**TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.**
This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity.
The group will meet every Monday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data to come, and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.
