🍺 New in Town: Neukölln Social & Drinks
Moving to Berlin is an adventure, but let’s be real—the "Berlin Schnauze" (the city's famous bluntness) can be a bit intimidating, and finding your people takes time.
Whether you arrived last week or last year, if you’re looking to break out of the "expat bubble" or just find some friendly faces in your neighborhood, this is for you.
We’re gathering at **Ä Stube**, a cozy, alternative gem in the heart of Neukölln. Think dim lights, great music, and a relaxed atmosphere where you don't have to shout to be heard.
We can't wait to welcome you to the neighborhood. 🥨✨

BLISS x Semrush Workshop: Operating Agentic AI in Production
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: [https://luma.com/nklicoct](https://luma.com/nklicoct)**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to invite you to an interactive workshop hosted by LISS x Semrush and led by **Saeid Nobakht, Lead AI Engineer at Semrush**, focused on bringing agentic AI into production. The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with Semrush and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza 🍴😋🍕!). Bring your laptop!

**Abstract**
Building reliable agentic systems requires more than evaluating individual LLM outputs — it demands a systems-level approach to testing, observability, and operations. This session covers how to design evaluation frameworks for multi-step, tool-using agents; how to instrument and trace agent decisions for debugging and audit; and how to recognize and respond to common production failure modes.
**Who is this for?**
This workshop is open to everyone curious about building with agentic AI. Technical background and Python knowledge recommended.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: [https://luma.com/nklicoct](https://luma.com/nklicoct)**

Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈 - Edition 013
**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin.
We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together.
We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff.
And you are welcome to join!
No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome!
To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)!
**Planned programme**
Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A.
With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location)** strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity.
This time, we have the following topics lined up:
* Tobias has been working on a ***project wizard*** and would like to receive some feedback from the group.
* Crop is going to introduce the topic of ***atomics***, then hold a discussion space for answering questions and sharing experiences.
* Raf finally would like to introduce ***test-driven development*** with a small mob coding exercise.
If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that!
Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere.
**Projected upcoming meetups**
We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks).
16 April 2026 is our thirteenth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates:
* 14 May 2026 (tentative, public holiday)
* 11 Jun 2026
* 9 Jul 2026
* 6 Aug 2026
* 3 Sep 2026
* 1 Oct 2026
**Location**
Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people.
We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup.
Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead.
As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot!
**Accessibility**
The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space.
On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility.
**Community**
We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/).
Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can.
We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/). You are very welcome to join!

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT: You must sign up and buy a ticket here to attend:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
**Join the Columbus City Brunch Club and make new friends!**
Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit.
👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan.
**Why this works:**
\* Smaller groups make real conversations easier.
\* Discover new restaurants in your city, together.
\* Curated lunch venues with good food and vibe.
\* If you hit it off with your group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards.
**Note:**
RSVPs on Meetup don’t reflect total attendance. Many attendees register directly via our website. The event on [Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) is only a placeholder.
This meetup is organized by Groupvibe, a small team passionate about helping people form meaningful friendships offline.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
