Skype for Business

Hallo, es ist wieder so weit, der zweite Freitag im Mai ist diese Woche! Deshalb habe ich im Neffes draußen im Innenhof für uns reserviert. Wenn das Wetter schlecht werden sollte, haben wir die Ecke vor dem - ausgeschalteten - Fernseher für uns :-). Ich freue mich schon, euch wieder persönlich zu sehen! Und hier der übliche Ankündigungstext: Unser zweimonatliches Treffen steht wieder an! An jedem zweiten Freitag eines ungeraden Monats treffen wir Selbständige, Unternehmer und Freiberufler aus der IT uns wieder um 19:00 Uhr im Neffes. Bei einem gemütlichen Zusammensein werden wir uns über fast alle Themen unterhalten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den beruflichen Themen. Z. B. wie gehen andere mit den Kunden und deren Mitarbeitern um, was sind die neuesten Insider Infos von den verschiedenen Unternehmen, wie sieht es bei den anderen mit den Einsatzorten und Arbeitsbedingungen aus und vieles mehr. Es wird wie immer ein interessanter Abend mit einem umfangreichen Erfahrungsaustausch werden, der einen auch beruflich weiterbringt. Mit dem DBITS e.V. wollen wir die Anerkennung von IT-Freiberuflern in der Gesellschaft und Politik vorantreiben, dort gibt es leider noch einen sehr großen Aufhol- und Aufklärungsbedarf und damit viel zu besprechen und zu erfahren. Des Weiteren bietet uns der Verein ein breites Netzwerk an Leuten mit den gleichen Zielen und Problemen. Aber wie gesagt, das Ziel ist ein schöner, informativer Abend, es gibt kein Mitgliederzwang. Nimm teil, wir freuen uns auf dein Kommen! Viele Grüße und ich freue mich schon auf ein Treffen am nächsten Freitag!

The "classical" bookswap is simple: * We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. * We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. * We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). * At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING * Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. * Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. * If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. * Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. * Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. * If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. * Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you!

Connect with fellow founders and entrepreneurs at Electric Social, Berlin’s arcade bar. Enjoy a relaxed evening of networking, drinks, and classic games while sharing ideas and meeting new collaborators. Build connections — and maybe a few high scores.

**Everyone's welcome ❤️** Every Friday evening we meet up by the Spree — music playing, people arriving from all over the world, and a night that usually goes way longer than anyone planned. No agenda. No organised icebreakers. Just a relaxed spot by the river where you can show up, grab a drink, and actually meet people worth knowing. We've been doing this for over 8 years, and the best thing about it is still the same — you never quite know who you're going to end up talking to. Come solo, come with friends, come fresh off a flight. The crowd is always a mix of Berliners, expats, travellers, and people who just moved here and are figuring it out. After a while the group usually spreads out to bars or clubs — or just stays by the water. You go wherever the night takes you. **Stay in the loop — join our Telegram group:** Spree Ravers → [http://bit.ly/berlinsocialchat](http://bit.ly/berlinsocialchat) 📍 By the Spree, next to Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn — opposite the East Side Gallery, right by the Cage on Water → [https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA) 🕒 From 9 PM — people arrive gradually, so if it's quiet at first, just hang tight See you Friday ✨

🧠 **Decision-Making Under Pressure (Part 2)** The wait is over. After the great response to our first session, we’re bringing it back — with new scenarios, new challenges, and even more real-time decision-making. This is not a typical event. It’s an **interactive business simulation**, where you step into the role of a founder and face real-world startup situations under pressure. You’ll work in small teams, analyze scenarios, make decisions within limited time, and present your approach — just like in real life. *** # 💡 What to Expect 🔹 Work in teams 🔹 Solve realistic startup scenarios 🔹 Make decisions under time pressure 🔹 Present your strategy 🔹 Receive feedback and different perspectives Each round becomes more challenging, pushing you to think faster, communicate clearly, and act with confidence. *** # 🎯 Why Join Because building a startup is a series of decisions — and the ability to make them under pressure is what makes the difference. Whether you’re a founder, aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious, this session will challenge you to think critically and act decisively. *** # 📅 Event Details 📅 **May 9, 2026** ⏰ **17:00 – 19:00** 📍 **MAATI – Indische Küche** 🤝 Community We’re building a space where people don’t just network, they **connect, collaborate, and grow together.** For updates about upcoming events, networking opportunities, and founder meetups, join our **WhatsApp community** where entrepreneurs support, connect, and grow together. 👇 [https://chat.whatsapp.com/IOjguBGBakz59qp2b6BE0V](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IOjguBGBakz59qp2b6BE0V)

**A place to meet sound, without maps** Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)** Everyone enters as they are. No score. No threshold of skill. We follow the room, moment by moment— listening, nudging, letting the music find itself. A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep— each carries weight. Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated. There are no wrong directions here. We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward: to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together. That is where the music begins. * 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all. * ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration background.** * 🎧 No experience needed. Curiosity is enough. * 📍 Berlin – \[theodorstraße 5,12099] * 🗓 Every Saturday 12:00 * 📬 DM or email **[vestigium.impro@gmail.com](mailto:vestigium.impro@gmail.com)** to join Come make sound—come be heard.

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.
