**18:00 – Talk #1**
**Research Harness Engineering**
[Florian Hönicke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-h%C3%B6nicke-b902b6aa/) — Elastic
Every programmer is now a manager of coding agents — but human oversight quickly becomes the bottleneck. Florian will share how Elasticsearch built an agentic research harness to support their v5-omni model development, enabling structured experimentation and faster iteration cycles in applied AI research, and why building your own harness is the key unlock for teams serious about scaling agentic workflows.
\*\*\*
**18:20 – Talk #2**
**Low code feature engineering in Zalando with Agentic support**
Ola Wahab — Zalando
Feature engineering at scale has traditionally been a high-friction process — days of infra setup, complex tooling coordination, and lots of boilerplate. Ola will walk through how Zalando is shifting to a low-code, configuration-driven approach where teams define pipelines declaratively, and how agentic coding has compressed the journey from feature discovery to production from weeks to days.
\*\*\*
**18:40 – Talk #3**
**Ranking Logic Migration from Monolith — Using Code Agents for Iterative Performance Benchmarking**
[Ivan Potapov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-sur/) — Zalando
How Zalando’s Search and Browse Discovery team extracted a latency-critical ranking service from a monolith and validated it for production.
This talk covers:
* Migrating the ranking read path into a standalone Ranking API
* Using AI-powered agentic loops with async-profiler to close the p99 latency gap
* Practical lessons on allocation profiling, virtual threads, and production validation
\*\*\*
**19:00 – Talk #4**

Presentation Lab - Structured Communication Training for Professionals
This is an [in-person communication lab](https://www.presentation-school.com/berlin-presentation-lab) that helps professionals speak clearly and confidently under pressure using proven methods.
Most people don’t struggle because they don’t practice enough. They struggle because they practice without the right principles. This session focuses on deliberate, guided practice informed by performance psychology, neuroscience, and modern communication training.
**What You Will Do**
* Learn one science-based communication principle that improves real-world performance.
* Train that principle in structured speaking exercises designed for skill development.
* Receive clear, professional feedback you can apply immediately.
Practice and feedback are guided by experienced communication professionals who work with executives and senior professionals.
This is not peer-to-peer feedback or open discussion.
**Who Should Attend?**
* Non-native English speakers
* Professionals who present, lead meetings, or speak up at work
* Anyone who overthinks, freezes, or loses clarity under pressure
* People who want structured improvement, not just repetition
No prior experience is required.
**What This is NOT**
* A lecture.
* A motivational talk.
* A public performance.
* Unstructured open practice.
* Peer-led feedback or opinion-based critique.
**Before The Session**
Before the session, participants complete a short preparation form to clarify their goals and common communication challenges. This helps ensure the practice and feedback during the lab are as relevant and effective as possible.
**Optional:** Participants may submit a short video (1–2 minutes) or written questions. This is optional and used to personalise focus areas and examples during the session. No individual coaching is provided.
**After the Session**
Participants receive a short follow-up pack with key takeaways, practical drills, a reflection question, and guidance on next steps.

Seitai free group session
Come join us for a gentle yet powerful Seitai group practice — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a donation-based event, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (from 0€ to (your choice)€).
✨ What is Seitai?
Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll be invited to:
Listen deeply to your body through Yuki (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath).
Release hidden tension with Katsugen — allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally.
Find balance in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways.
Seitai is not about control or forcing; it’s about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time.
🌌 Why join?
Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative.
Create space for release, renewal, and vitality.
Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai.
👕 Practical details
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a towel and water to stay hydrated.
Bring openness and curiosity.
Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice.
The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body.

Komm zu unserer sanften und doch kraftvollen Seitai-Gruppenpraxis – ein Raum, in dem Stille, Atem und spontane Bewegung aufeinandertreffen. Dies ist eine Veranstaltung auf Spendenbasis, du kannst also frei beisteuern, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt (von 0€ bis (deine Wahl)€).
✨ Was ist Seitai?
Seitai (整体) ist eine japanische Praxis, die dir hilft, dich wieder mit der angeborenen Intelligenz deines Körpers zu verbinden. Durch subtile Achtsamkeit und angeleitete Techniken bist du eingeladen:
\*Tief auf deinen Körper zu hören durch Yuki (eine meditative, praktische Übung des Erspürens und Folgens des Atems).
* Verborgene Spannungen mit Katsugen zu lösen – indem du unwillkürlichen, spontanen Bewegungen erlaubst, ganz natürlich zu entstehen.
\*Balance in Stille und Bewegung zu finden, während sich dein Körper auf überraschende Weise selbst neu ausrichtet.
Bei Seitai geht es nicht um Kontrolle oder Zwang; es geht darum, den Bewegungen eine Stimme zu geben, auf deren Ausdruck dein Körper gewartet hat. Manchmal bringt dies Leichtigkeit, Klarheit und Entspannung. Manchmal wirbelt es Schwindel, Unbehagen oder Emotionen auf. Jede Erfahrung ist gültig – und es steht dir jederzeit frei, eine Pause zu machen oder zu gehen.
🌌 Warum teilnehmen?
* Entdecke eine Praxis, die viele als tief transformierend empfinden.
\*Schaffe Raum für Loslassen, Erneuerung und Vitalität.
* Erkunde die Praxis in der Gemeinschaft, egal ob du neugieriger Anfänger bist oder bereits Erfahrung mit Seitai hast.
👕 Praktische Details
\*Trage bequeme Kleidung und bringe ein Handtuch sowie Wasser mit, um hydriert zu bleiben.
* Bringe Offenheit und Neugier mit.
\*Zuschauer sind willkommen – du kannst einfach nur beobachten oder direkt in die aktive Praxis eintauchen.
* Die Sitzung wird angeleitet, aber der wahre Lehrer ist dein eigener Körper.
✨ Mehr erfahren:
🎥 Schau dir ein kurzes Video an: https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op
In diesem Video [00:16] wird Seitai als eine japanische Kulturform beschrieben, die den Organismus wieder in Ordnung bringt („Seitai“ bedeutet „Körper in Ordnung“). Es basiert auf der Beobachtung der natürlichen Lebensenergie und nutzt Bewegungen wie Katsugen Undo [00:32], um die Vitalität zu fördern.

#### Agenda und Speaker im Überblick:
***1\. Krzysztof Radecki \(CTO\, DAC\.Digital\) & Josua Ziegler \(CEO\, punktum\)***
**Hört auf zu prompten, fangt an zu managen: Agente-basierte KI in großem Maßstab orchestrieren**
Wir fragen uns immer wieder, wie wir KI-Agenten leistungsfähiger machen können. Aber wie sieht es damit aus, sie steuerbar zu machen? Dieser Vortrag beginnt mit einem Überblick über die Landschaft der agente-basierten KI – denn bevor man in großem Maßstab orchestrieren kann, muss man wissen, wo man tatsächlich steht und was wirklich benötigt wird.
Dann wird es konkret: ein echtes Plattformprojekt, eine kühne stadtweite Vision und ein einziges LLM, das diese nicht umsetzen konnte. Die Lösung war kein besserer Prompt. Es war besseres Management – klar definierte Rollen, eindeutige Aufgabenverteilung und ein System, das weiß, wer verfügbar ist und worin die jeweiligen Stärken liegen.
Die Prinzipien, die menschliche Teams in großem Maßstab funktionieren lassen? Sie gelten auch für KI. Und das verändert die Art und Weise, wie man entwickelt.
***2\. Johannes Rave \(Senior Consultant\, InnoQ\)***
**No Constrain, No Gain**
*Struktur für den Agent, Klarheit für den Menschen, Flexibilität für das Unternehmen*
KI-Codierungsagenten sind bemerkenswert gut darin, Code zu erstellen. Ob dieser Code jedoch die tatsächlichen Anforderungen des Unternehmens widerspiegelt – und ob er auch sechs Monate später noch sinnvoll ist –, ist eine ganz andere Frage. Die Versuchung ist groß, dies als ein Problem der Eingabeaufforderung zu betrachten – dem Agenten mehr Kontext, bessere Anweisungen und klarere Ziele zu geben. Ein oft übersehener Hebel ist die Beachtung der Architektur.
Wenn die Domänenlogik ihren eigenen, klar abgegrenzten Platz hat, getrennt von der technischen Infrastruktur um sie herum, geschieht etwas Interessantes: Der Agent bleibt fokussiert, der Mensch kann tatsächlich prüfen, was wichtig ist, und das Ganze bleibt offen für Änderungen, ohne dass eine Neuprogrammierung erforderlich ist.
Dieser Vortrag stellt einen Ansatz vor, wie man dorthin gelangt – und wie einige gut platzierte Einschränkungen Ihnen Freiheit verschaffen können.

**Beyond OCR: Intelligent Document Processing with LLMs & Agents**
Zwei Jahrzehnte lang bedeutete Dokumentenverarbeitung OCR in Verbindung mit Vorlagen – anfällige Abläufe, die immer dann ins Stocken gerieten, wenn ein Anbieter sein Layout änderte. Große Sprachmodelle (LLMs) und agentische Architekturen schreiben dieses Drehbuch gerade neu. In diesem Vortrag wird anhand realer Kundenanwendungsfälle aus den Bereichen Rechnungswesen, Zeiterfassung und Testberichte erläutert, wie ein moderner Stack für intelligente Dokumentenverarbeitung tatsächlich aussieht.

Hi.
We are delighted to invite you to our hybrid (virtual and onsite RSVP available) April gathering at [Ojin AixHaus in Mitte](https://ojin.ai/community). We’ll be unpacking the top highlights from Google Cloud Next '26 its 22-24 of April [(register to get virtual spot)](https://www.googlecloudevents.com/next-vegas/) and sharing expert insights on the Agent Development Kit.
**The Agenda**
* 6:00 pm: Doors open for snacks, drinks, and a bit of a chinwag
* 6:45 pm: Kick-off with the Ojin AixHaus crew
* 7:00 pm: Google Cloud Next '26: The highlights!
* 8:00 pm: [Iliyan Peychev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iliyanpeychev/): Evolving Cloud Run Apps into Agents with ADK
*Agents are here to stay, and Google’s ADK makes building them from scratch more accessible than ever. But in the real world, we rarely start with a blank slate. What if we have battle-tested Cloud Run applications already using Gemini that we need to evolve? How can we get the benefits of the Agentic world without a full rewrite? This session focuses on moving from manual controllers and service orchestration to Multi-Agent systems with Google’s ADK. We will explore the practical "why" and "how" of this architectural shift, along with the real-world caveats and pitfalls.*
* 9:00 pm: 🍕🍻 Rooftop Drinks & Networking (with a view!)
* 10:00 pm: Doors close

Join us for our second Berlin Tech Talk: Together in DEIB – Redefining Tech Culture Beyond “Always-On.”
In recognition of this year's Stress Awareness Month theme #BeTheChange, we’re bringing together leading voices from the tech industry for a panel discussion on how we can start shifting away from the “always-on” culture that has become common in the world of technology.
Together, we’ll explore how to build tech cultures that support people, not just output.

Our panel will dive into five key themes:
⚡ Performance Culture & Always-On Expectations - How to measure impact over hours and move away from constant connectivity.
🧠 Psychological Safety & Stress - Spotting hidden pressure, giving feedback that actually helps, and reducing invisible labour.
💭 Imposter Syndrome - Creating environments where people feel confident to be themselves and have their contributions recognised.
🌿Neurodiversity & Stress - Designing workflows and flexible ways of working that reduce cognitive overload.
🔄 Career Breaks & Burnout Recovery - Reframing gaps as growth, supporting reintegration, and modelling healthy boundaries.
This session is packed with practical takeaways for leaders, managers, and technologists on building tech cultures where wellbeing and performance can go hand in hand.
