SaaS Marketers Connect in Berlin | 🏳️🌈 Pride Edition | pow. by DeepL
AI writes faster than ever, but is it writing *fairly*? From gendered assumptions in copy to identity blind spots in translations.
AI-generated content carries the biases of the data it was trained on. As marketers, we're shipping this content at scale every day. It's time we talked about what that actually means.
Join us for a special 🏳️🌈 Pride edition of **SaaS Marketers Connect Berlin**, hosted at DeepL Berlin HQ and sponsored by **DeepL's ERG Proud AI**.

Morana will walk us through real-world examples of how AI tools (including translation, copywriting, and content generation platforms) can reinforce or even amplify gender and identity bias. She'll share a practical framework for auditing your AI outputs and building more inclusive content workflows.

Bring your questions and your war stories.This is an open conversation and
all perspectives are welcome.

**Putting Open GitOps to the test (Steve Fenton, Octopus Deploy)**
The Open GitOps principles sound plausible, but the world is full of surprising realities. Join Steve Fenton and explore the GitOps research to see whether GitOps delivers on its promises, based on an analysis of over 600 perspectives from roles like DevOps engineers, developers, platform engineers, and cloud infrastructure engineers.
*Steve Fenton researches the socio-technical systems behind software delivery; how organizations, people, and technology actually work together (or don’t). At Octopus Deploy, he explores GitOps, Platform Engineering, Continuous Delivery, and compliance through a lens shaped by punk history, psychology, and the kind of genre fiction that asks uncomfortable questions about systems and society.*
*He’s an eight-time Microsoft MVP (DevOps), a DORA Community Guide, a CD Foundation Governing Board member, and a contributor to the CNCF Platform Engineering Community Group. He’s written books on TypeScript, Octopus Deploy, and Web Operations Monitoring, and occasionally writes horror fiction.*

AI in Production: Vectors in the Newsroom & Healthcare Challenges
GDG Cloud London is thrilled to be partnering with Skyscanner for a deep dive into the world of AI applications in Production.
This meet-up is a unique opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts, industry practitioners, and researchers in a dynamic and interactive setting. We are going to have some pizza and networking at the end!
Don't miss out, RSVP now!AGENDA
18:00 - Doors Open & Check-ins
18:30 - Welcome & Intro
18:40 - Ellen Muller - Vectors in the Newsroom: Building Smarter Image Search at the Guardian.
When a photo editor searches our image management system for "protest" at 6pm on a deadline, they can't afford to get zero results because the images were captioned "demonstration." Traditional keyword search has no way to know those mean the same thing - and for an archive with inconsistent metadata, that gap matters. This talk is about how we added semantic search to the Grid (the Guardian's open source image management system) using embeddings and vector similarity. We'll dig into how vector spaces let you encode meaning rather than just text, and the practical choices (and mistakes) involved in shipping this into a real production system.
19:15 - Bruno Ripa - Technical challenges of AI adoption in Healthcare
Deploying AI in healthcare requires solving a shifting equation: balancing high-fidelity clinical utility against rigorous data sovereignty mandates and punishing infrastructure costs. This talk breaks down how our company navigates this fluid landscape daily. We will cover where we use AI in our stack, how localised data compliance continuously reshapes our engineering choices, and the concrete technical hurdles we encounter along the way. Rather than showcasing a finalised architecture, we will focus on the ongoing design decisions and trade-offs required to keep our product secure, reliable, and compliant, all while aggressively optimising compute and operational costs—proving that surviving the mutating challenges of healthcare AI is a continuous process of lean execution.
