Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community. Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations.

Works by the following artists will be on display: * Burak Kağan Yılmazer * Sara Maras * Alexander Hendorf * Hansu Kim * Maris Niewenhuis * Ewa Rother

**Dear Community,** We’re excited to welcome you to the next **NoCode Collective Club Meetup in Berlin**. Join us for an evening of practical insights into how **AI, no-code, and low-code tools** are transforming how we build products. This is not a sales-driven event. It’s designed as a balanced mix of **community innovation** and **hands-on demos from industry leaders**. **📅 March 26, 2026** **⏰ 18:00 – 21:00** *(Networking until 22:00)* **📍 Web3 Hub, Berlin** **🍕 Pizza & Drinks provided** *** ## ✨ What to Expect **🎤 Expert Talks** \| Practical insights and live builds **⚡ Real Use Cases** \| AI agents\, automation\, analytics\, and low\-code platforms **📊 Live Demos** \| See the tools in action and try them yourself **🍹 Extended Networking** \| Connect with builders\, founders\, and operators *** ## 🧠 Topics & Speakers ### 🛠️ The Future of AI-Assisted App Building & AI Agents **Speaker: Akhilesh Balakrishnan (Zoho)** Directly from the Zoho team, Akhilesh will showcase the latest major updates in the low-code world in a demo-driven session: * **AI-Assisted App Building**: Build functional apps using natural language * **AI Agents**: Deploy intelligent assistants inside your workflow * **Live Interactive Demo**: Use a special signup link to follow along and test the features in real time *** ### ⚙️ Simplify Your Workflows with Agentic Skills **Speaker: Alexander Amin** Skills allow teams to turn expertise into reusable tools. Think of them as lightweight markdown-based building blocks that capture workflow knowledge and make it executable by an AI agent on demand. No SDK. No deployment. No boilerplate. Alexander will show how workflows can be turned into reusable “skills” that help teams automate recurring processes and scale execution without additional engineering overhead. *** ### 🤖 AI in E-Commerce: From Data to Beautiful Dashboards **Speaker: Matthias Siwy (MLC-Direct)** AI development are evolving rapidly, but the real leverage comes from combining them with existing company data. Matthias will share how teams use modern AI workflows and vibe-coding to move from raw data to working analytics interfaces in hours. *** ## 🍹 Networking & Logistics After the talks, stay for pizza and drinks. We have the space at the **Web3 Hub until 22:00**, giving everyone plenty of time to discuss the demos, share projects, and meet fellow innovators from the Berlin scene.

**Unsere Stammtisch is wieder da!** Komm zu unserem Monozukuri-Stammtisch für Deutsch-Japanisch! [Fotos vom letzte Session ](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7MCwjloY8R/) Stammtische sind beim ersten Treffen eher unangenehm, um das Eis zu brechen, aber wir werden das Ganze mit Basteln und Kochen etwas auflockern. Wir werden uns einmal im Monat zu dieser Veranstaltung treffen, also nimm regelmäßig teil, um dein Japanisch zu verbessern oder was neu zu lernen! Du kannst bei Stammtisch schon ab der Anfängerstufe mitmachen. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, aber wir würden uns über eine Spende von 3 Euro für die Materialkosten freuen:) Der Veranstaltungsort ist der Co-Working Space CISpace in Moabit. Für Getränke und Snacks kannst du das Café vor Ort nutzen. Wir freuen uns auf eure Teilnahme an dem neuen Versuch, Sprache durch gemeinsames Basteln zu lernen! ## Über wanowa – Community Building durch Handwerk **wanowa** ist eine deutsch-japanische Community, die den Austausch durch gemeinsames Handwerk fördert. Durch Basteln, Kochen und andere kreative Tätigkeiten entsteht ein Raum, in dem Menschen unabhängig von Sprachkenntnissen miteinander in Kontakt kommen können. Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht das perfekte Sprechen, sondern das gemeinsame Tun und das Entstehen von Gemeinschaft. **Stammtisch を再開します！** ものづくりドイツ語日本語交流会に参加しませんか？ [前回の写真](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7MCwjloY8R/) 初対面でいきなり会って何を話したらよいかわからないStammtischあるある問題を工作や料理を通じて楽しくしようという試みです！ 日本語・ドイツ語のレベルは初心者レベルからご参加いただけます。 参加費は無料ですが、材料費で3ユーロの寄付をお願いしています。コーワーキングスペースCISpaceでの会合になりますので、飲み物,スナックは別途カフェで購入いただくことになります。 共同作業を通じての言語学習、という新しい試みに参加してみてください！ ## わのわについて **わのわ**は、ものづくりを通して人と人がつながることを大切にしている日独コミュニティです。 工作や料理などの共同作業を通じて、言語や文化の違いを越え、自然に会話や関係性が生まれる場をつくっています。 「上手に話すこと」よりも、「一緒に手を動かし、時間を共有すること」を大切にしています。

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **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. **YouTube Link** TBA

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
