**PyBerlin: March event** **Sponsor**: Spiced Academy **Location:** Spiced Academy, Ritterstrasse 12-14, 10969 Berlin, Germany **Agenda:** 6:30 pm – Doors open: snacks, drinks, networking 6:55 pm - Welcome from PyBerlin 7:00 pm - Welcome from the sponsor - Spiced Academy **7:10 pm** – **What Actually Changes Customer Behavior? Causal Thinking Across Attribution, Segmentation, and Growth // Dr. Maryam Ramezani-Bartsch** Customer data is often used to explain what happened: attribution assigns credit, segmentation groups users, and dashboards track performance. Yet marketers and business leaders still struggle with a more fundamental question: what actually changed because of our actions? This talk introduces causal thinking as a practical way to interpret customer data across attribution, segmentation, and growth. It shows why correlation-based metrics can be misleading and how counterfactuals and incrementality help teams ask better questions when they look at results. A concrete email campaign example illustrates how causal uplift modeling separates customers who would have purchased anyway from those whose behavior truly changed. The goal is to help data scientists, marketers, and decision-makers move from reading metrics to reasoning about incremental impact and to make better decisions because of it. Speaker's bio: Dr. Maryam Ramezani-bartsch is a data and analytic leader with over 20 years of global experience building and scaling customer analytics and data science teams. She has led the development of customer data, marketing measurement and targeting capabilities for global brands such as adidas, Sky, Delivery Hero, and Zalando, helping embed customer-centric, data-driven decision making across organizations. Her work focuses on building customer data models, causal analytics, experimentation, and developing teams that turn insights into sustained business impact. **7:40 pm - Python 3.14 & 3.15 news! // Hugo van Kemenade** The release manager will share some of the exciting things in the newest versions of your favourite programming languages. **7:50 pm - break** **8:10 pm** – **Your Next On-Call Engineer could run Locally //** **Anthony Alaribe** What if your next on-call engineer wasn't a person, but a Python agent running on your machine? Inspired by the explosion of local agents like OpenClaw, this talk explores what happens when we point agentic workflows at the systems we monitor. We'll walk through the checklist most engineers actually run during on-call: checking dashboards, tailing logs, correlating errors with recent deploys, and then explore how to build a custom Python agent that automates these checks using tools like LangGraph, OpenTelemetry, and the Anthropic SDK. You'll leave with a working starting point and a new way to think about what agentic AI can do beyond chatbots. Speaker's bio: Anthony has spent over a decade building software at companies like Opera, and DeliveryHero. He has faced his fair share of dealing with unreliability software and breaking changes in APIs, including losing over $2m in orders to such an incident, amongst other war stories. Say hi when you him. He loves conversations about AI, databases, and programming languages. **8:40 pm – What makes XGBoost so powerful // Rakibur Rahman** XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) is one of the most influential machine learning algorithms of the last decade, originally developed by Tianqi Chen. It has become the default choice for structured (tabular) data problems, widely used in both industry and data science competitions on platforms like Kaggle. This talk explains why XGBoost works so well, from both a mathematical and practical engineering perspective. Speakers bio: Rakibur Rahman, PhD is Senior Coach of Data Science & AI at Neuefische/Spiced Academy, Berlin, with 20+ years of analytical problem solving and data analysis experience. With a background in Theoretical Physics, he is keen to apply cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and AI tools for driving positive business impact. Endowed with the ability to present complex ideas in simple pedagogical form, he delivered 50+ professional talks at the international level. His global experience includes working/studying in the USA, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Bangladesh. 9:10 pm - closing This event will be only in-person. Please check our Code of Conduct and official health regulation in Berlin before coming. If you feel some signs of sickness, please consider skipping this event and attending another time.

**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)! **Planned programme** Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location)** strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity. This time, we will try a new interactive discussion format: Jonas will introduce the topic of *The Job Market and AI* with an impulse presentation, then open up a moderated discussion with all participants. Let’s see where this hot topic leads us! If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that! Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. **Projected upcoming meetups** We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 19 March 2026 is our twelfth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 16 Apr 2026 * 14 May 2026 (tentative, public holiday) * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 * 6 Aug 2026 * 3 Sep 2026 **Location** Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot! **Accessibility** The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space. On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility. **Community** We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/). Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!
