Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen!

# 🎭Improv dein Deutsch🎭 In Berlin Deutsch sprechen? Ja, klar! Komm zu unserem Impro Theater Kurs „Improv dein Deutsch“. In diesem Kurs kannst du mit anderen Impro spielen, auf Deutsch! Sehr einfache Sprache, viele Impro Übungen und perfektes Deutsch Training. Du musst nicht fliessend Deutsch sprechen können, es reicht wenn du eine einfache langsame Konversation haben kannst. Improtheater Übungen helfen den Menschen sich auszudrücken, zu öffnen, sich frei zumachen. Wir benutzen diese Übungen um dir die Angst vorm Deutsch sprechen zunehmen. In einer kleinen Gruppe von anderen, die auch ihr Deutsch verbessern möchten, kannst du endlich sprechen und Spass haben, ganz ohne Angst Fehler zumachen. Wir spielen Szenen zusammen, wir lachen zusammen und am Ende verlassen wir den Raum und fühlen uns schon sicherer mit unserem Deutsch. jeden **Mittwoch** von **19:00 bis 21:30** **hier anmelden für die 25€ Drop In class:** https://goteamup.com/p/3640530-esimpro/courses/dates/861031/ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Teacher Konstantin Häfner was born in a small village near Berlin and has spent the last 6 years doing improv in this city.

Join us for our next Berlin Collaborative Modelling session — a hands-on workshop where we'll build a Context Map from scratch. Context Maps make the big picture of a system explicit: which bounded contexts exist, how they relate to each other, and where the friction, dependencies, and power dynamics between teams actually live. They help you make better decisions about integration strategies, team ownership, and where to invest in clean boundaries versus where to accept pragmatic compromise. To get there, we'll use Event Storming as our starting point — laying out domain events to discover natural clusters of behavior, then drawing boundaries around them to identify candidate bounded contexts and subdomains. From there, we'll sketch out the relationships between contexts and discuss what patterns like Customer/Supplier, Conformist, or Anti-Corruption Layer look like in practice. What to expect: This is a collaborative, stickies-on-the-wall kind of evening. No laptops needed, no prior DDD experience required — just curiosity about how to make sense of complex systems. We'll work through a shared example domain together, so everyone starts from the same place.

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
