Unser Verein berlinCreators e.V. trifft sich jeden Freitag ab 18 Uhr im Makerspace. Wir haben Gruppen rund um Elektronik, 3D-Druck, Nähen, Programmieren, Retro Computer. Egal ob Anfänger oder Profi – hier seid Ihr Willkommen. Ihr könnt mit anderen fachsimpeln, Euch inspirieren lassen oder auch mit unserer Hilfe Eure ersten Projekte starten. Wenn Ihr Euch bei uns wohlfühlt und Mitglieder bei den berlinCreators werden möchtest, freuen wir uns. Kommt vorbei, lernt den Space, uns und die Möglichkeiten kennen.

Hello! We are organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 🌟 This week's special: Get your chores done! Fill out those Finanzamt forms, setup your broker accounts or finally get dental insurance. Any other work is welcome too, of course 😉 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

**This event is taking place online.** You have probably tried AI. Maybe you use it quietly. Maybe you opened it, stared at the blank prompt, and closed the tab. Maybe you are not sure where to start, or why it still feels harder than it should. Welcome to our community! 17:00 — An intro: Why are we here? 17:15 — What research and data shows us about how AI impacts work 17:30 — Where are you right now, what have you tried, what is in your way? 17:45 — What comes next: shaping the next session together This is the first meetup in a series. We will learn from each other, explore AI at work, and eventually dive into the tools together — because the best way to loosen the fear is to do it in good company. Facilitator: Anca Trif Language: English Capacity: 10 attendees **Join here:** [https://meet.google.com/ghd-cuvt-jnh](https://meet.google.com/ghd-cuvt-jnh)

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Althenhof > Grimnitzsee > Wolletz > Angermünde > Parsteiner See > Chorin LEVEL: Intermediate to Experienced DISTANCE: 50ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:20 - Berlin Ostkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **ROUTE:** This is the start of the swimming season (at least for me). Once we arrived in Altenhof we head downhill to the Lake Grimnitzsee for a first swim. After the refreshment we head further up nprth on mixed grou before we reach Glambeck, a very scenic little village. From there it is solig ground only to Wolletz where we stop at the Kaffee Konsum for a delicious Wildboar Burger, or more. From there we have the chance to either head on solid ground alongside more boring nature of straight through the forrest on such ground. Passing through Angermünde we head further down south via Herzsprung before we reach the Parsteiner See. One of the clearest lakes I know (and my personal favourite, but psst…). After the second swim we then head around the lake and stop for a last sip of coffee (and hopefully cake) at the Hofladen Brodowin, where even Kind Charles has been. From there its just \~7km to the train station Chorin where we hop into the train which brings us back to Berlin. **SPEED:** Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front. This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat." **DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:** This is an about 50ish km ride, with mainly mixed and soft but also some solid ground. In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me! And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before! **MEETING POINT:** 08:20 - Berlin Ostkreuz, in the train RB24 on platform 14. I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare). **TICKET:** It is 23,60 both ways / person, so this time it does make much sense to organise a BBT. I will get one if at least one other person wants to join me! And don't forget your "[24-hour ticket bicycle VBB network](https://www.vbb.de/en/tickets/tickets-for-your-bicycle/24-hour-ticket-bicycle/)" ticket which is about 7,50 EUR. **WAY OUT:** 08:41 - dep. Berlin Ostkreuz, platform 14, taking RB24 to Eberswalde 09:27 - arr. Eberswalde, platform 2, switching trains 09:37 - dep. Eberswalde, RB63, platform 4, 09:55 - arr. Altenhof **WAY BACK:** 18:43 - dep. Chorin, RE3 19:07 - arr. Bernau, switching trains to S2 19:23 - dep. Bernau, S2 20:06 - arr. Yorckstraße (S2) **RECOMMENDATIONS:** Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling. While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along! And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work? Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you! Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it. And in case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary. ========= DETAILS =========

**🎟️ Registration for this event is done via the MoT page, not on Meetup.** **Register here 👉 [https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626)** Hello Berlin, we're back! After the last get-together where we started shaping the Berlin chapter, we're excited to invite you all together again for an insightful evening focused on AI Test Generation, community discussions - and YOU! The evening will bring together industry experts to share their knowledge, ask questions and learn something new. Whether you're a developer, QA engineer, or tech enthusiast, you'll gain valuable perspectives and practical experiences. **✍ Registration:** Reserve your spot by clicking "Attend" on this page. Note - Participation is limited to 30 participants only. **❓ What to Expect:** • Talks from experienced speakers • Networking with the local community • A chance to speak on stage with 99 second talks • Swag and goodies from MoT and our sponsors, TestMu AI **🎤 Quality Talks** *AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)* *Ruslan Strazhnyk - Founder & CEO @ QualityMax* Every QA tool vendor will tell you AI generates perfect tests. After building an AI test generation platform - and dogfooding it on our own codebase - I can tell you what actually happens. This talk is a practitioner’s honest debrief. I’ll walk through two years of running multi-model AI against real web apps: what produces usable tests, what produces confident-looking garbage, and where the failure modes hide. Specifically, I’ll cover: * Why reading code isn’t enough - AI generates plausible tests from source, but they fail on real UIs. Crawling the live app changes everything. * The selector problem - LLMs reach for brittle CSS selectors by default. How to force better strategies without prompt-engineering every call. * Assertions that rot - AI loves asserting exact text and prices. Why your generated suite breaks on the first content change, and how to catch it before CI does. * Multi-model routing - no single model wins at everything. What we learned running GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini on the same flows. * Self-healing in practice - the gap between “it healed” and “it healed correctly.” You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating any AI test generation tool - or building your own - based on what the output actually does under pressure, not what the demo shows. Level: Intermediate, assumes familiarity with Playwright or similar frameworks *99 Second Talks* Have something to share about testing, tech, or teamwork? Whether it's a win, a challenge, or a wild idea — you’ve got **99 seconds** and a room full of curious, supportive people. Take the stage! **🕰️ Schedule:** 17:45 - Doors open (arrive early to mingle!) 18:00 - Welcome and Introduction 18.15 - Ruslan Strazhnyk: AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t) 19:15 - 99 Second Talks and networking with food and drinks **📍Location:** Assecor GmbH, Storkower Straße 207, 10369 Berlin 👀 **Want to speak at this or the next MOT Berlin event?** We are already planning our next meetup in July - and we're always looking for speakers.

## 🤝 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. ###

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
