Since taking over as CEO at the age of 39, Klein has steered SAP through cloud transformation, the rise of AI, and unprecedented external headwinds – turning SAP into one of Europe’s most valuable enterprises. In conversation with journalist **[Astrid Frohloff](http://astrid-frohloff.de/)**, Klein will reflect on how to lead a global tech company in a fiercely competitive and fast-moving environment, what it takes to transform an organization at scale, and what this journey has required from leaders and employees alike.

Cozy Life Drawing Session – NAKED ARTISTS Berlin
Join our welcoming **life drawing** session where participants are invited to both draw and model.
A relaxed and respectful space for **creative exploration**.
The **Cozy Session** is our most intimate format. We are fewer people (max. 10) and take a bit more time for everything. The atmosphere is calmer and we have even more focus on **presence, observation** and **connection**.
All our events are **queer-friendly** and have a personal and inviting feel to them. Also we're very **beginner-friendly**: Whether you’re experienced or just curious to try life drawing for the first time — you are welcome.
Generally participation in modeling is always **voluntary**, but in this format – since we're fewer people – It's more the idea **that everybody will have** the chance to pose. If you feel more insecure about this, maybe our other sessions are better for a start.
**\>\> What to expect**
• alternating drawing and modelling
• short and medium poses (up to 15 min)
• a warm, respectful group atmosphere
**\>\> What to bring**
• your drawing materials (we provide a basic range of high quality artist materials)
• Something small to drink or snack on, though we‘ll have some snacks
• your time (Please be punctual because we want to start all together)
**\>\> Tickets**
Our prices range from **16€ to 26€**, depending on your financial possibilities. Please book your ticket here on **[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985134012269?aff=oddtdtcreator).**
You can also click **RSVP here on Meetup** to let the group know you’re coming.
We look forward to drawing with you!

**Location:** Spiced Academy, Ritterstrasse 12-14, 10969 Berlin, Germany
**Agenda:**
6:30 pm – Doors open: snacks, drinks, networking

7:00 pm - Welcome from the sponsor - Spiced Academy
**7:10 pm** – **What Actually Changes Customer Behavior? Causal Thinking Across Attribution, Segmentation, and Growth // Dr. Maryam Ramezani-Bartsch**
Customer data is often used to explain what happened: attribution assigns credit, segmentation groups users, and dashboards track performance. Yet marketers and business leaders still struggle with a more fundamental question: what actually changed because of our actions?
This talk introduces causal thinking as a practical way to interpret customer data across attribution, segmentation, and growth. It shows why correlation-based metrics can be misleading and how counterfactuals and incrementality help teams ask better questions when they look at results. A concrete email campaign example illustrates how causal uplift modeling separates customers who would have purchased anyway from those whose behavior truly changed.
The goal is to help data scientists, marketers, and decision-makers move from reading metrics to reasoning about incremental impact and to make better decisions because of it.
Speaker's bio:
Dr. Maryam Ramezani-bartsch is a data and analytic leader with over 20 years of global experience building and scaling customer analytics and data science teams. She has led the development of customer data, marketing measurement and targeting capabilities for global brands such as adidas, Sky, Delivery Hero, and Zalando, helping embed customer-centric, data-driven decision making across organizations. Her work focuses on building customer data models, causal analytics, experimentation, and developing teams that turn insights into sustained business impact.
**7:40 pm - Python 3.14 & 3.15 news! // Hugo van Kemenade**
The release manager will share some of the exciting things in the newest versions of your favourite programming languages.
**7:50 pm - break**
**8:10 pm** – **Your Next On-Call Engineer could run Locally //** **Anthony Alaribe**
What if your next on-call engineer wasn't a person, but a Python agent running on your machine?
Inspired by the explosion of local agents like OpenClaw, this talk explores what happens when we point agentic workflows at the systems we monitor.
We'll walk through the checklist most engineers actually run during on-call: checking dashboards, tailing logs, correlating errors with recent deploys, and then explore how to build a custom Python agent that automates these checks using tools like LangGraph, OpenTelemetry, and the Anthropic SDK.
You'll leave with a working starting point and a new way to think about what agentic AI can do beyond chatbots.
Speaker's bio:
Anthony has spent over a decade building software at companies like Opera, and DeliveryHero. He has faced his fair share of dealing with unreliability software and breaking changes in APIs, including losing over $2m in orders to such an incident, amongst other war stories. Say hi when you him. He loves conversations about AI, databases, and programming languages.
**8:40 pm – What makes XGBoost so powerful // Rakibur Rahman**
XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) is one of the most influential machine learning algorithms of the last decade, originally developed by Tianqi Chen. It has become the default choice for structured (tabular) data problems, widely used in both industry and data science competitions on platforms like Kaggle.
This talk explains why XGBoost works so well, from both a mathematical and practical engineering perspective.
Speakers bio:
Rakibur Rahman, PhD is Senior Coach of Data Science & AI at Neuefische/Spiced Academy, Berlin, with 20+ years of analytical problem solving and data analysis experience. With a background in Theoretical Physics, he is keen to apply cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and AI tools for driving positive business impact. Endowed with the ability to present complex ideas in simple pedagogical form, he delivered 50+ professional talks at the international level. His global experience includes working/studying in the USA, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Bangladesh.
9:10 pm - closing

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith

**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
