Bist du als WordPress-Freelancer oder Agenturinhaber manchmal mehr mit dem Code beschäftigt als mit dem Geschäftserfolg? In diesem Meetup werfen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Business-Alltags. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Strategien wirklich für stabiles Wachstum sorgen und welche Fehler man sich (und seinen Kunden) unbedingt ersparen sollte. Ein ehrlicher Austausch über Prozesse, Kundenmanagement und die richtige Positionierung. Jeder kann seine Fragen mitbringen oder einfach nur mitreden. Weg von Bits & Bytes. Hin zu Reichweite, Leads und Wachstum. Weniger Technik-Diskussionen. Mehr Sichtbarkeit, Conversion und Umsatz. Es wird ein Brainstorming-Meetup.... Sei herzlich willkommen oder **empfehle uns weiter** Nach dem Thema und vor dem Netzwerken und einem regen Erfahrungsaustauschgibt gibt es Zeit für eure allgemeinen Fragen über alles was ihr wissen wollt. Wir sind für Support da um die eine oder andere technische Frage rund um WordPress zu lösen.

**They say May is the month of rebirth.** So, may we all gather again and recalibrate our collective oscillators. On **May 18**, we’re moving past the factory settings and diving into the human signal chain. **Connect Beyond the Preset** is an evening dedicated to the tools that make us move and for all the creators, builders, tinkerers, and the curious who know that the most powerful "plugin" in any studio is a fresh perspective. Move away from the isolated glow of your laptop screen and come into a space where conversation flows as freely as the voltage in a modular rack. **It is happening on:** **Monday, May 18 at 6:00 p.m. CET** **FORUM Factory, Besselstraße 13-14, 10969 Berlin** This time, we’re opening the floor to the people building the future of expression. Innovation isn't just about faster processors; it’s about deeper connections. We gather to bridge the gap between the code and the chord, between the builder and the player. This is a networking event in its truest sense. No stiff business cards or corporate bios. Just like-minded people from all areas of life, united by the passion for music and tech, sharing drinks, swapping ideas, and finding their next creative partner-in-crime. Whether you work in the music business, you're a founder, a musician, a developer, or simply someone who loves where music and technology meet, this evening is made for you. **FREE ENTRY. FREE DRINKS!** **Do not sleep on this!** **[RSVP HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **PRESENTATIONS** Expect an evening with local innovators on stage presenting the tools they’ve built to make music education more accessible, push the boundaries of music production, and create new ways of visual expression through music. The presentations are more like open-source conversations. Meet the local community members who are building bespoke tools and hear the stories behind them. No corporate sales pitches. Just raw, creative problem-solving and inspiration. **Presenter I** **Andreas Jacobi** (*CEO und Co-Founder,* [Audiotool](https://www.audiotool.com/) *)* Making music together is magic. For too long, software got in the way. Audiotool is the only DAW built for collaboration from the ground up — free, browser-based, real-time multiplayer. Now we’re opening the infrastructure — so the next generation of music tools can be built multiplayer, and the ones you already love can become it too. **Presenter II** **Aibek Mazhitov** (Founder [Vibely](https://apps.apple.com/uy/app/music-visualizer-vibely/id1528056717)) Aibek is an iOS developer by day and musician by night. He'll be presenting Vibely - a music visualizer app that lets artists and creators turn their audio into stunning visual content in minutes. Inspired by channels like Monstercat and Trap Nation, Vibely is used by creators with millions of followers on TikTok." **Presenter III** **Mohammad Tomaraei** (Founder of something new and special) Almost 40% of new songs on streaming platforms are AI-generated. Human creativity is at risk. That's why I’m building an interactive platform for learning music, singing, and dance through your favorite songs. You focus only on learning what matters to you. It analyzes each song, shows you how it’s built, teaches you how to perform it on instruments like guitar, piano, and drums, and gives real-time feedback as you practice. AI is optional as a personal coach that explains things in a way that makes sense to you. **Presenter IV** **David Pocknee** presents a prototype of [Chordite](https://davidpocknee.ricercata.org/funis/index.html) \- a composition\-first music environment\, inspired by video games\. It is software for musical exploration and experimentation\, designed to live alongside and communicate with your DAW\. It provides space to craft music in new ways\, using 3D graphics\, game controllers\, and musicologically\-informed interfaces\. **LET OTHERS PLAY WITH YOUR TOOL - LIKE FRANK** We will set up tables on which you can place your laptop, speakers, synth, or other hardware, etc. to let the meetup attendees play with it. Like Frank Hahn. He will present [Kreuzberg Audio](https://kreuzberg-audio.com) , a Berlin-based plugin forge building tools for modern electronic music production. At the meetup he'll show three of them: KREATUR (premiere), an AI-powered music production tool that puts generative AI to work as a creative instrument without taking control out of the producer's hands; KA-303, the freshly updated acid synthesizer with a dynamic 32-step pattern grid, polyrhythmic page system, MIDI import and five groove engines; and Reecer Synthesizer, the flagship in free public beta with a triple oscillator engine, 29 filters from Moog Ladder to Polivoks, a quad distortion chain, and a composing section with 150 patterns. You can do this to. Just send us a message here.🙌 ——————————————————————————————————- **WALL OF OPPORTUNITIES** A big piece of paper, pinned to a wall with space for everyone to leave a note. Whether you are looking for a project partner or want to offer your skills and services. **AN EVENT FOR EVERYONE** Whether you are interested in learning more about music, tools for artists, new technologies, music communities, entrepreneurship, or just hanging out with the local Berlin music tech community, this event is for you. **DRINKS** are free **ENTRY** **is free**, but RSVP is **mandatory** **Please 👉 [REGISTER HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** *We are grateful that the [Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises](https://www.berlin.de/sen/wirtschaft/en/) provided us with some funding for this event.*

A web that is private, resilient, and beyond the control of a few central powers. Like forests, decentralized systems derive strength from what lies beneath the surface: dense networks of roots, sharing resources without hierarchy, and coordination that persists even when individual nodes disappear.* ​*DWeb Camp: Root Systems invites participants to build technologies that–like living ecosystems–adapt, regenerate, and endure.* ​*The event will be held at Alte Hölle, just one hour southwest of Berlin. The venue sits on the grounds of a forest hotel dating back to the 1800s. Once a Stasi recreation site, Alte Hölle is now owned and inhabited by a collectivist community of friends who are turning this space into a sustainable venue for group events of technologists, hackers, artists, and activists. Set on 100,000 square meters of lush meadows and ancient forests, Alte Hölle is both a community and location with values that resonate deeply with DWeb, a place we are excited to nourish and leave richer than when we arrive.* ​\~ *Want to learn more about DWeb Camp?

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
