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.
**Practical Information**
Language: English
Duration: 2 hours
Format: In-person, structured group lab
Address: Chausseestraße 86, 10115 Berlin
Healthy snacks and water provided.
Price: €25 per session
If you are looking for a professional, practical way to improve how you communicate and want to train using principles that actually lead to results, this lab is a good place to start.

Lets talk about Vue.js! Rather unstructured but spiced with some lightning talks, we will talk, discuss, drink coffee.
Back Door Comedy: Femme Day Special Standup in English Xberg
**Celebrate International Women's Day with Back Door Comedy's favourite femme standups** bringing their best jokes to the front room of Mysliwska Tuesday 10th March 2026. **Celebrate, squeal and squirt over the international femme experience with this firecracker lineup.**
Doors 8pm
**Show starts 8:30pm**
Break 9:15-9:30pm
Show end 10:15pm
**This show is totally in English, inclusive and adult.**
\>\>opening and closing the show **Anna Beros**
https://www.instagram.com/afberos/
Kiwi born, Melbourne raised and Berlin saved, Beros has been a full-time standup comedian and producer since 2022. She’s a regular headliner in major European cities and hosts and headlines her 3 weekly mics and 2 weekly showcases. She’s written for Comedy Central DE, opened for Jeff Arcuri at Admiralspalast in Berlin 2025, tours Europe and enjoyed successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023-2025, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023-2024, Leicester Comedy Festival 2024 and Adelaide Fringe 2023 with her solos ‘Creampie Curious’, ‘Creampie Clarity’ and ‘High Hoe’.
Reviewed by The Age, “Beros is a full-time standup and her hours on stage are evident in her skill at taking the temperature of the audience and bringing them along with her as she veers into darker material.”
\>\>featuring **Carmen Chraim**
https://www.instagram.com/carmenita01/
Carmen is a Lebanese comedian based in Berlin. She’s been living in Germany for such a long time to the point that she now eats her Humus with paprika powder on top. She’s been performing comedy for over 10 years in many European cities and worldwide. She is known to be a firecracker on stage due to her high energy presence, her high pitched voice that keeps dogs awake at night and sharp crowd-working style. She’s opened for some famous comedians such as Judah Friedlander & Todd Barry.
She’s done comedy in many languages: English as the main one, French to feel sophisticated, Arabic whenever she feels homesick and German but she usually needs to take a shower right afterwards. She’s also now learning Spanish on Duolinguo so stay tuned! She’s part of a comedy collective called Queen Bees Comedy that produces a series of very popular shows in Berlin.
\>\>featuring **Anja Woot**
https://www.instagram.com/anja.woot/
Anja Woot was cultivated and harvested in Slovenia. She does not shy away from sharing intimate stories with unanticipated twists and a quirky sense of humour that keep you captivated with laughter and questions like “But why would anyone do this?”. She also loves screaming into the void (mostly Taylor Swift lyrics).
Her comedy has often been described as “ahahaha”, “so good, the best” and “please, get off the stage, this is a strip club”.
She lives in Berlin but has performed all over Europe (mostly at weddings and funerals of her relatives, but nobody needs to know these details). In 2021, she joined forces with the marvellous Carmen Chraim and Kat Nip, and formed the female collective Queen Bees Comedy in Berlin. Together they run a monthly showcase called “That’s What She Said” with an all-female line-up, as well as an open mic for women & LGBTQI+ performers with the title “Yaaas Queen” and other comedy shows, and are all about empowering voices that deserve and need to be listened to!
\>\>featuring **Freddi Gralle**
https://www.instagram.com/freddi_gralle/
As a German pastor’s daughter, the first stages Freddi Gralle spent much time on were those in church. She later ditched the church for comedy, but kept the judgy vibe. Equipped with friendly arrogance, Freddi deep-dives into the existential questions around god, sex and German humor. Her voice is delightfully sarcastic with a strong preference for the auto-biographic.
Freddi has performed her two solo shows all over Europe; her first one, “Church Girl, Interrupted”, is out on Youtube. She is also a TV writer for late night and comedies and opened for Sam Morril in Berlin in 2025.
**Venue: Mysliwska** Schlesische Straße 35 10997 (U1, U3)
One of Kreuzberg’s oldest bars. Buzz in if you can’t open the door. Good vibes, locals and visitors. Bar closes super late so stick around after the show

AWS User Group Berlin Session - March 2026
Dear Community,
this March we are gathering as part of [Exasol Xperience 26](https://www.exasol.com/events/exasol-xperience/). This is an event worth being part of, Exasol team was so kind to host us for the evening.
Please visit the event page and chech the exciting agenda. Distinguished speakers, inspiring topics! If you would like to attend the event free of charge, let us know and we will provide you a ticket.
If you prefer to attend our session only, register with your full name below. We also have two awesome speakers that will fill the night with AWS content as usual!
18:30 - Warming up and networking chat
18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & Exasol
19:00 - 19:40 - **Philipp Hoyer // An AWS Container Journey - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly featuring ECS and EKS**
EKS on Fargate promises fully managed Kubernetes without EC2 management, but it comes with more hidden complexity than expected. In this talk, I compare running containers on AWS Fargate with EKS versus ECS based on real project experience.
Philipp is Senior AWS DevOps Engineer at Rackspace Technology, where he helps automotive customers design and operate reliable cloud and container platforms on AWS.
19:40 - 20:00 - Network break with snacks & drinks
20:00 - 20:40 - **Piotr Pabis // How we cut ECS Startup by 30% - SOCI Deep Dive**
"What are docker images anyway? How are they formed? What is a other container registry? I want to go from first principles - presenting TAR files, composing an image, combining it with a JSON manifest and explaining how SOCI technology improves the speed of lazy loading required files and layers. HTTP range requests, GZIP table of contents, many things. I will try to make it understandable for the casual Docker user as well as nerds who want to know how this works under the hood."
Piotr is a Senior Platform Engineer at About You and a well-known Community Builder in AWS. He works mostly improving legacy projects, Terraform and migrating old stuff to ECS.

Improvisation Workshop - Coming with nothing and leaving with everything
We, Mariangela Tinelli and Meltem Nil are both Solo-Improvisation performance artists, we are regularly performing in diverse venues in Berlin for years and now we are also creating workshops together!
Feel welcome to try it out if you are into improvisation or you are a poet, artist, dancer, musician or simply curious to try new things, here is our description (and feel free to ask me questions in messages):
**This time we focus on: " Leave it, to make it richer" The connection between narration and abstraction.**
*We will start by crafting transitions of movement, voice and text in our performances. Then we’ll find our ways of telling stories and working with narration. At the same time we will explore how to support, overlap and extend our talking flow with structural and abstract elements and eventually let go of the story line. Where can we go from there? What other levels and perspectives exist to enrich our creations and stories? You will find out in the workshop, where you will be guided with exercises in solos, duos and in the group.*
The workshop is open for everybody who wants to act in a different way, to do research and to shape space. Workshop language is German and English, we also speak Italian and Turkish.

There Must Be a Lilac: EventStorming with Alberto Brandolini
He's back! The inventor of EventStorming is once again joining the Berlin Collaborative Modeling Meetup for an evening of massive learning, massive laughter, and no doubt a massive number of sticky notes.
Here is the agenda:
**Collaborative Reverse Roadmapping**
We'll put future events on a timeline to build the future we want to happen and make it tactically sound. We'll leverage ideas from
* EventStorming (surprise!)
* Futurespective
* Traditional planning
And we'll explore a tool that will enable strategic planning and overcome deadlocks.
This is a rare opportunity to spend time with a true thought leader in the DDD community and the person who contributed to the world the whole premise of our meetup. He's full of insights and stories, wit and wisdom, and we are lucky to have him drop by to share them with us. Don't miss this one!

As always, everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a software engineer to participate. In fact, it would be great to have more people who aren't software engineers. We're here to solve problems cross-functionally, not get into implementation details. As long as you care passionately about getting things right, then you belong here!
This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
