Ship It Safely: Mastering AI Agent Orchestration
Welcome to the age of the Agentic Stack, where we bridge the gap between deterministic engineering and the new frontier of autonomous systems.
We’ll explore how to build AI agents that fulfill the security, reliability, and automation requirements for the enterprise, and how the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is being rebuilt from the ground up by agentic IDEs.
**THIS MEETUP will be in ENGLISH and HYBRID\. \|** Zoom Link is visible for remote attendees after registration.
**\*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\***
* 6:30\-7:00 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\.
* 7:00 PM \| Welcome & Intro **Start of the hybrid meetup**

**\*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\***
**The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the age of AI Agents - Harald Seipp (Principal Client Engineering EMEA Solution Architect & STSM at IBM) & Thomas Südbröcker (Senior Engineer and Solution Architect at IBM)**
This session explores how agentic AI is reshaping every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), transforming development workflows from requirements gathering to maintenance. Using IBM’s perspective on agentic IDEs, the presentation demonstrates how AI‑driven tools can autonomously understand context, plan and execute multi‑step tasks, generate code and tests, refactor across entire codebases, and assist in deployment and troubleshooting. Attendees will learn how these capabilities reshape developer roles, accelerate solution workshops and pilot builds, and enable teams to deliver more with fewer resources. Risks, best practices, and the evolving future of autonomous SDLC pipelines are also discussed, offering a pragmatic view of how to adopt agentic development responsibly and effectively. If time permits, we can also provide a brief look at agentic Ops, including a Kubernetes cluster administration live demonstration.
**Mastering Multi-Agent Systems with the Agentic Layer - Florian Mallmann (Senior Software Engineer at QAware)**
The software landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Agentic AI. While microservices operate deterministically, AI agents act probabilistically and often unpredictably, making them autonomous. This presents a significant challenge for platform engineers and DevOps teams. In this talk, we will demonstrate how our open source [Agentic Layer](https://github.com/agentic-layer) helps to develop agents that meet high enterprise standards for security and reliability. We will showcase a live demonstration of three critical pillars for robust AI development:
* **Workload Orchestration:** Discover how we define modular agent logics and chain them together to create highly efficient, scalable workflows.
* **Quality Plane (Testability):** Say goodbye to the "prompt lottery." We will demo how to implement automated test cases that make the output quality and logical correctness of your agents objectively measurable.
* **Compliance Plane (Guardrails):** See "security through technology" in action. We'll show you how to write and deploy real-time guardrails that prevent personally identifiable information (PII) leaks and ensure strict adherence to regulatory requirements.
Whether you are building your first agent or scaling an existing system, this live demo will give you practical insights into deploying safe, predictable, and high-performing AI applications.

Barrierefreiheit automatisiert testen
**Um was geht es dieses mal?**
**Barrierefreiheit automatisiert testen - Anna Maier (codecentric)**
"Barrierefreiheit – ein Produkt für alle nutzbar machen - ist ein komplexes Thema. Bei der Entwicklung barrierefreier Software müssen viele Anforderungen berücksichtigt werden. Ein großes Problem ist, dass das Testen ein weitgehend ein manueller Prozess ist. Das kollidiert mit den schnellen Veröffentlichungszyklen moderner Software. Wie können wir unser Tempo beibehalten und gleichzeitig sicherstellen, dass das Produkt zugänglich bleibt?
In diesem Vortrag gebe ich euch das Handwerkszeug, um euch in Hinblick auf Barrierefreiheit besser abzusichern. Dabei lernen wir zunächst automatische Tools und ihre Möglichkeiten und Grenzen kennen. Danach schauen wir auf Strategien zum Schreiben eigener Tests mit gängigen Testframeworks. Abschließend schauen wir uns an, wie KI uns in dieser Hinsicht unterstützen kann"
**Hybrides Setup!**
Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben.
Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG) der codecentric AG.
**Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:**
Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis!
**Anreise:**
Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß.
Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

PKM Meetup #9: AI & PKM Why Context is the New Prompting
Are you still spending all your time tweaking and perfecting your AI prompts? The reality of working with AI today has shifted: the secret to high-quality output is no longer just in the prompt, it is entirely in the context.
As recently discussed on the *AI Report* podcast, a lot of professionals are finding out the hard way that simply connecting an app like Notion to an AI tool isn't enough. Making your knowledge base truly machine-readable so an AI can comprehend your style, goals, and data to actually help you execute projects? That is a craft in itself.
This is where Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) becomes your ultimate unfair advantage. A solid PKM system provides an extremely structured database. Whether you are someone who has been curation-focused for years, someone who started a few months ago, or a complete beginner who needs to start from scratch—organizing your notes, projects, and thoughts is key to unlocking the true potential of modern LLMs.
In this meetup, we will dive into the craft of creating the ultimate context layer:
* **For Beginners:** Learn why building a structured knowledge base from day one is the absolute best shortcut to getting 10x more value out of AI.
* **For Advanced Users:** Let's discuss the actual *craft* of structuring. How do we organize our pages and databases so that AI can genuinely understand and assist in our daily project execution?
Let’s have an open conversation, share our workflows, and discover how to build a second brain that AI can actually work with.
See you there!

Nature Hike Blauwe Kamer Rhenen (18 km) - FULL
This hike is one you don’t want to miss! It offers a lot of variety on a relatively short distance. From train station Rhenen, we will cross the river and walk along it for a while, until we cross it again by ferry, taking us to the beautiful wetlands of the ‘Blauwe Kamer’, where we might encounter all kinds of wildlife. After a break, we will continue to climb the Grebbeberg, a 52 meter peak in the hilly forest, towering above the river. We will then return to Rhenen, with the option of visiting this pittoresque old town.
**Where to meet**: we will meet at **10.30am** at train station Rhenen. This train station can be reached by Sprinter train from Utrecht Centraal.
**This hike is fully booked.** [You may register for a place on the waitlist on my website.](https://rewildyourself.nu/dutch-nature-hikes/)
National Park De Maasduinen 20 km
We’re heading out for a beautiful 20 km loop hike from Afferden through the gorgeous Nationaal Park De Maasduinen.
This route takes us through a striking Limburg landscape of forest, sandy paths, open heathland, river dunes, and wide views.
Along the way, we pass the ruins of Kasteel Bleijenbeek and climb an uitkijktoren for a panoramic view over the Maasduinen landscape.
One of the special features of this hike is that we cross the Maas river twice by small ferry. These crossings give the route an extra sense of adventure and connect the Maasduinen landscape with the village side of the river.
After one of the crossings, we continue to the village of Vierlingsbeek, where we’ll take our longer break for a drink. After the break, we make our way back toward Afferden, completing a varied loop through forest, heathland, castle history, river scenery, ferry crossings, and quiet Limburg countryside.
A hike with forest energy, open heathland, castle ruins, a lookout tower, two Maas river crossings, and a relaxed village drink stop.
**📍When and where to meet?**
We’ll meet at 11h15 at Busstop "Afferden, Veer naar Sambeek" https://maps.app.goo.gl/kcg4hBvRsHoUjBSa6
⏰ **We start walking a few minutes after meeting up**
We don’t wait for latecomers, as we have a long route ahead and want to enjoy the full day properly.
**🚗 Coming by car?**
Please check your parking options beforehand so you arrive on time.
**⏸️ Planned Breaks**
After **4 km:** break at watchtower (5 min)
After **7 km:** Having a lunchbreak at ruins of Castle Bleijenbeek (25 min)
After **13 km:** Ferry over the Maas
After **14 km:** Drinks at bar in Vierlingsbeek (50 min)
After **20 km:** Ferry back over the Maas
