Who runs the company when the AI agents do the work?
**ESMT Insight Hour with Dr. Martin Hofmann**
**Schedule:**
5:30 p.m. - Registration opens
6:00 p.m. - Welcome from host, ESMT Berlin
6:05 p.m. - Talk of Martin Hofmann
6:30 p.m. - Discussion and Q&A
7:00 p.m. - Networking, drinks and nibbles will be provided

The question is no longer whether AI will transform organizations. The question is how you design a company where humans and autonomous agents work side by side. The stakes are high: firms that fail to get the balance right risk losing control, trust, and competitive advantage as work becomes increasingly agentic.
The core challenge? Design hybrid teams, governance, and leadership so agents can carry workload while experts carry judgment, and the organization learns continuously from both.
In this ESMT Insight Hour, [Dr. Martin Hofmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hofmann-4b90405/), author of ***The Agentic Enterprise***, will present insights from his new book and introduce a new business operating model built around hybrid teams of domain experts and AI agents that sense, decide, learn, and act autonomously. Drawing on the Agentic Enterprise Framework™, he will show how enterprises move beyond automation into true autonomy and why trust becomes the organization’s new operating system.
You’ll gain insight into:
* How to architect hybrid teams of humans and AI agents, and the roles each should play
* Why trust, rather than rules, must become the organization’s operating system
* Practical leadership, governance, and scaling strategies for agentic organizations
Join us to find out what it really takes to lead, scale, and orchestrate intelligence in the era of autonomous agents.

***
**// THEME OF THIS SPECIAL EDITION**
**How can AI be used to improve coordination for Berlin?**
What could be used today already? Perhaps your project?
Berlin has a complex urban system shaped by limited staff, fragmented data, regulation, political accountability, physical infrastructure, and long time horizons. The time has come to ask seriously:
**How can our new AI capabilities help in decision making?**
(eg. decentralized AI, secure compute, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, RAG, Computer Vision, GIS agents, simulations, etc. etc.)
Together in the room with civil servants and researchers, we will map together:
* 🧩 **What functions AI systems can provide**
(e.g., extraction, routing, triage, forecasting, secure orchestration, coordination)
* 📍 **Where those functions intersect with district-level challenges**
* 🛡️ **What must change for responsible public deployment** (auditability, least-privilege access, security, value criteria)
* 🚀 **Which capabilities are ready for applied pilots** — and what a realistic pathway looks like
This 'working session' builds on nextlearning’s collaboration across district administration, scientific modelling, and civic coordination, and is part of a cooperation with the District of Berlin-Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology.

AI Guild Dinner: Tech Debt when Vibe Coding. The AI Revolution in Software
**👉 [Register here](https://www.linkedin.com/events/7429279114164850688?viewAsMember=true) 👈**
Together with the AI Guild, we’re excited to reunite with the **[AI Guild Dinner](https://www.theguild.ai/)** at our **[Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Centre](https://careers.db.com/explore-the-bank/careers-in-technology/berlin.techcentre/)**!
**Agenda:**
**18.30 Doors Open for Networking & Refreshments**
Arrive at Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Center, Otto-Suhr-Allee 16, 10585 Berlin. How to get there: Travel via the Bahnhof Zoo and Ernst-Reuter-Platz - use the subway U2 or the Bus M45.
Welcome and Introduction to the Berlin AI Guild Dinner by **[Chris Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisarmbruster/)**, MD at [AI Guild](https://theguild.ai/).
**19.00 Technical Debt when Vibe Coding**
**[Dishu Bagga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dishu-bagga-632236163/)**, Software Engineering, Deutsche Bank.
AI assistants, scaffolding tools, and templates let us ship software faster than ever. You prompt, paste, and move on. Most of the time, it works. But while everything appears smooth, technical debt quietly accumulates. Modern tools optimize for speed—not architecture. Layers blur, boundaries erode, and structural decisions get locked in long before anyone notices.
In this talk, we’ll use real examples and live coding to show how AI-accelerated development can produce clean-looking code but fragile systems. Small shortcuts compound. Complexity hides in plain sight.
The goal is not to criticize AI tooling—but to remind us: Generated code still carries architectural consequences. Speed is easy. Sustainable systems require intent.
**19.30 Agentic AI in a Global Corporate: The first iteration**
**[Dijle Kara](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dijlekara/)**, AI Hub Product Manager at Henkel
What happens when autonomous AI agents meet the complexity of a global enterprise? From legacy systems to governance and scale, the first deployments reveal both promise and friction. What actually works in production? Where do agents fail? And how do organizations adapt when software begins to act autonomously?
**20.00 Announcement of the Berlin Exhibition Pix2GenAI**
**[Dr. Kristian Rother](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristian-rother/)**, Python Developer, Data Scientist, and Trainer

Meetup #12 — Remaking the welfare state
A welfare state takes responsibility for its people and supports them when in need. When costs are rising, but budgets aren’t, government needs to find efficiency gains to maintain social protection levels. A government-commissioned report recently recommended ways to modernise social and welfare services, making them more people-friendly and less bureaucratic. Meanwhile, small and large projects are underway to make benefits services more fair and easier to navigate, and to make the state overall more equitable.
At our March meetup, we will hear about what a modern, digitally transformed welfare state looks like. We will welcome the following speakers:
* Florian Theissing, Agora Digitale Transformation
* Björn Mohr, Technologiestiftung Berlin
* Anja Mayr & Jakob Häußermann, DigitalService des Bundes
CityLAB Berlin hosts the event in their stunning 1920s space, a former airport building.
All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German. Pictures and videos will be taken.
–––
Das CityLAB Berlin ist Gastgeber der Veranstaltung und lädt zu seinen beeindruckenden Räumlichkeiten im früheren Abfertigungsterminal des Flughafens Tempelhof ein.
Alle Vorträge werden in englischer Sprache gehalten. Fragen im anschließenden Diskussionsteil können sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch gestellt werden. Es werden Video- und Fotoaufnahmen gemacht.
Building Self-Improving CI/CD and Optimizing Performance at Superhuman
Join us on **March 25** to learn how the **Superhuman Engineering team is building a CI/CD system that learns, adapts, and gets faster over time**.
✅ **To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/loqydsym
Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered.
Most teams treat their CI/CD pipeline as infrastructure that “just works”—until it doesn’t. Three Superhuman engineers share how they combined AI-driven automation, test-strategy overhauls, and infrastructure migration to build a pipeline that not only runs but also continuously improves itself.
🚀 [Dushan Terzikj](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dushanterzikj/) will share concrete examples of how the Grammarly Inkwell team reduced CI pipeline flakiness and duration—from parallelizing unit tests and migrating to Storybook, to switching from dedicated macOS runners to on-demand Kubernetes runners. Attendees will walk away with practical, actionable techniques to make their own pipelines faster and more reliable.
🚀 [Timo Fink](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fink-timo/) will explain how Superhuman incorporated AI agents into their CI pipelines to develop a Self-Healing system. You will learn how we leverage Claude Code to automatically audit the reliability of our test suite and proactively suggest and prepare improvements for human review.
🚀 Darek Komosinski will show how his team exposes structured performance trace data to AI to automatically detect issues and surface actionable fixes. You will learn how combining rule-based analyzers with an AI summarization layer turns thousands of raw traces into a concise, prioritized report without manual triage.
**About the speakers**:
🔈 **Dushan Terzikj** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Superhuman browser extension—formerly the Grammarly browser extension—which serves more than 40 million monthly active users. He has also worked on a platform supporting the browser extension, where his team’s main goal was to deliver an outstanding developer experience.

# FAQs
**Do all ideas have a chance at getting funded?**
Not all ideas will move forward after initial pitches on Saturday. Once pitches are complete, we’ll vote for top ideas and form teams around the 4 – 7 ideas with the most votes. You must recruit **at least four total team members** (including the founder) to move forward and have a chance at getting funded on Sunday. If your idea doesn’t move forward, you can join another team!
**Do I have to submit my idea online prior to the event?**
Unlike previous years, we don’t have the option to submit your idea online prior to the event. Instead, everyone will be going through a brainstorming exercise on Saturday that’ll help you prepare for your initial pitch.
**Will we be working for 24 hours straight?**
Nope. The event is split over two days. You’ll be building on Saturday and pitching on Sunday.
**Do I have to pitch an idea?**
Nope. You can also simply join a team.
**What types of entrepreneurs does GBH support?**
While GBH most often works with technology startups, we support *any* organization (for- or non-profit) that makes an impact on health in the US or across the world.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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.
