Agenda --- Hosted By Hubert Kut, Atlassian Solution Architect My journey in IT world started as a support engineer. I realised quickly that a lot of teams straggle with collaboration, transparency and tracking work done/undone. That was the time when Atlassian kicked the door down and jumpstarted my career. From that time I'm Atlassian Evangelist, Solution Architect and passionate about Agile Methodology. My business goal is to facilitate people's work by giving them tools that are available from anywhere and at anytime. Key words for myself are simplification and automation. Astrid Sieben, Sales Manager Kathryn Vargas, Product Manager Frederike Häusel, Community Leader --- Global Partner Atlassian (http://atlassian.com) Millions of users globally rely on Atlassian products every day for improving software development, project management, collaboration, and code quality. For over a decade, Atlassian customers have come together to network, share ideas, solve problems, and find new ways to use Atlassian products. Today, more than 15,000 people take part in Atlassian community events in more than 30 countries. --- Complete your event RSVP here: https://ace.atlassian.com/events/details/atlassian-berlin-presents-save-the-date-9th-february-2026-rovocon-berlin/.

This is a **casual, in-person Mavericks meetup** centered around movement rather than conversation alone. We’ll meet at a bouldering gym, climb at our own pace, take breaks, and let conversations happen naturally in between. There’s no training, no coaching, and no performance expectation. Bouldering is chosen deliberately: it’s simple, physical, and clears mental noise fast. You’re focused on the wall, your body, and the next move—which makes everything else drop into the background. This meetup is about: * moving your body * getting out of your head * spending time with people who don’t need constant explanation * letting connection happen without forcing depth You don’t need to be an experienced climber. If you’re comfortable trying things, resting when needed, and staying curious, you’ll be fine. 📍 **Where:** Ostbloc Hauptstraße 13, 10317 Berlin 🕒 **Duration:** Approx. 2 hours (come and go as it fits) 👥 **Group size:** Limited spots to keep it relaxed and manageable Bring comfortable clothes, climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available), and a normal human level of social energy. No agenda. No outcome. Just movement, presence, and seeing how it unfolds.

Welcome to the PyData Berlin February meetup! We would like to welcome you all starting from 18:00. There will be food and drinks. The talks begin around 18.30 and the doors will close at 18:45. **Make sure to arrive on time!** Please provide your first and last name for the registration because this is required for the venue's entry policy. If you cannot attend, please cancel your spot so others are able to join as the space is limited. **Host**: **GetYourGuide** is excited to welcome you to this month's version of PyData. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The Lineup for the evening **Talk 1: How Data (Science) is Transforming Professional Sports** **Abstract**: From Moneyball's linear regression revolution to AlphaGo's Move 37, data science has fundamentally reshaped how we understand and play sports. This talk explores three key dimensions of this transformation: first, how analytics revolutionized scouting and training—from the Oakland Athletics' 20-game winning streak to Liverpool FC ending their 30-year championship drought through data-driven player selection. Second, how machine learning and real-time tracking systems have changed gameplay itself, making the mid-range jump shot obsolete in basketball and revealing chess strategies that had eluded grandmasters for thousands of years. Finally, we'll examine the darker consequences, including how ML-powered microbetting has transformed sports gambling into a $149 billion industry that resembles slot machines more than traditional wagering. This talk offers insights spanning baseball, soccer, basketball, chess, and Go - demonstrating how data science doesn't just optimize existing strategies, it fundamentally questions the assumptions entire sports were built upon. **Speaker**: Kaan Isik **Bio**: Kaan Isik is a Data Scientist at GetYourGuide where he works on the Activity Ranking team. As a member of this team, he focuses on developing and optimizing the learn-to-rank deep learning model that powers real-time activity recommendations for millions of travelers worldwide. His work directly impacts how users discover activities across GetYourGuide's platform, making their travel planning more personalized and efficient. **Talk 2: Can Foundation Models outperform classic ML on structured data? Hands-on experience with TabPFN** **Abstract**: LLMs excel at generalising over text data, but cannot reliably predict outcomes from spreadsheets and databases, which drive most critical decisions across medicine, finance, science and virtually all industries. In this talk, we will showcase how TabPFN, Tabular Foundation Model developed by Berlin-based Prior Labs, successfully generalises over structured data problems, beating classic ML with win rates ranging from 100% to 87%. **Speaker**: Diana Kriuchkova **Bio**: Diana is leading Product at Prior Labs. She is a part of the team developing TabPFN, a foundational model for tasks on structured data. TabPFN was published in the 2025 issue of Nature journal, and has shown to beat classic ML methods like XGBoost in >80% of cases. Diana's former background is in machine learning, and she spent last years leading product at developer-focused startups in Berlin. **Lightning talks** There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each) between the two main talks. Kindly let us know if you would like to present something :) \*\*\* NumFOCUS **Code of Conduct** THE SHORT VERSION Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Behave professionally.

Submit your talk proposal through our [CFP form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbG_BEJJYuAtVL5vhMMnWTpQbYHzGM8kmlqaJ790-Lgqv0fA/viewform) and take the stage at one of our upcoming meetups! **🤝 Organized by** This event made possible thanks to the support from[ React Summit](https://reactsummit.com/) and[ JSNation](https://jsnation.com/) organizers –[ GitNation](https://portal.gitnation.org/). **🤝 Sponsored by** Huge thanks to our friends from Superhuman! Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) is the AI productivity platform on a mission to unlock the superhuman potential in everyone. The Superhuman suite of apps and agents brings AI wherever people work, integrating with over 1 million applications and websites. The company’s products include Grammarly’s writing assistance, Coda’s collaborative workspaces, Mail’s inbox management, and Go, the proactive AI assistant that understands context and delivers help automatically. Superhuman’s global team brings together over 1,500 people across Europe and North America.

And more* *In this talk we’ll take a demo React app that’s full of effects, memoization and “old school” patterns, and modernize it step by step.* **➡️ A Triplestore-Powered BaaS: Real-Time Collaboration Without the Backend** *Backend-as-a-Service platforms promise simplicity, but often lock developers into complex APIs authorization rules. What if your frontend could directly manage data, authorization, and collaboration - without domain-specific backend code?* *In this talk, Oliver shares how he built a triplestore-based BaaS to power real-time collaboration in his side project MonsterWriter, and how the approach grew into an independent open-source project. We’ll see how LinkedRecords.com enables fine-grained authorization, simplifies real-time collaboration, and supports a Bring Your Own Backend model that gives organizations more control over their data and vendor relationships. It is also shown how global state management becomes a lot easier in React apps.* **➡️ Building Cross-Platform Agentic UI at Superhuman** *Recently, Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) launched Superhuman Go, an AI assistant that works alongside you on every platform. To build it, we needed a scalable solution that supports an unlimited number of agents that dynamically shapes the user interface and looks similar across all supported desktop and mobile platforms. Join me to find out how we discovered solutions for this innovative new product.* **—** **👍 Code of Conduct** By registering for this event you agree to comply with our[ CoC](https://portal.gitnation.org/coc) **📩 Contact** events@gitnation.org [https://twitter.com/ReactSummit](https://twitter.com/ReactSummit) [https://bsky.app/profile/reactsummit.gitnation.org](https://bsky.app/profile/reactsummit.gitnation.org) [http://youtube.com/ReactConferences](http://youtube.com/ReactConferences)
