# 🎭Improv dein Deutsch🎭 In Berlin Deutsch sprechen? Ja, klar! Komm zu unserem Impro Theater Kurs „Improv dein Deutsch“. In diesem Kurs kannst du mit anderen Impro spielen, auf Deutsch! Sehr einfache Sprache, viele Impro Übungen und perfektes Deutsch Training. Du musst nicht fliessend Deutsch sprechen können, es reicht wenn du eine einfache langsame Konversation haben kannst. Improtheater Übungen helfen den Menschen sich auszudrücken, zu öffnen, sich frei zumachen. Wir benutzen diese Übungen um dir die Angst vorm Deutsch sprechen zunehmen. In einer kleinen Gruppe von anderen, die auch ihr Deutsch verbessern möchten, kannst du endlich sprechen und Spass haben, ganz ohne Angst Fehler zumachen. Wir spielen Szenen zusammen, wir lachen zusammen und am Ende verlassen wir den Raum und fühlen uns schon sicherer mit unserem Deutsch. jeden **Mittwoch** von **19:00 bis 21:30** **hier anmelden für die 25€ Drop In class:** https://goteamup.com/p/3640530-esimpro/courses/dates/861031/ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Teacher Konstantin Häfner was born in a small village near Berlin and has spent the last 6 years doing improv in this city.

**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2).

**Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.** **=== Please see the English version below ===** Vraćamo se sa 7. okupljanjem ljudi iz sveta tehnologije i preduzetništva iz bivše Jugoslavije (ex-YU), u organizaciji [Nemačkog kutka](https://nemackikutak.com/) i [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/). Događaj se održava na engleskom jeziku i otvoren je za sve - bilo da dolazite iz regiona ili ste deo šire zajednice. **\# Datum i lokacija** • Sreda, 6. maj 2026 • cognee.ai – Prilaz 4, 1. sprat, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39–40 • Početak: 18:00 **\# Predavači i teme** Dva predavanja. Jedna osnivačka priča. Jedan ozbiljan pogled na veštačku inteligenciju. Sirovo, bez ulepšavanja. **Milica T. Jovanović** je senior istraživač korisničkog iskustva sa više od dve decenije iskustva u dizajnu, istraživanju i razvoju proizvoda. Bavi se razumevanjem stvarnog ponašanja korisnika i pretvaranjem uvida u bolje odluke u razvoju proizvoda, uz poseban fokus na ulogu veštačke inteligencije u istraživanju. U ovom predavanju, Milica govori o tome da li veštačka inteligencija treba da zameni istraživače korisničkog iskustva — gde daje rezultate, gde ne i šta se usput gubi. Takođe će pokazati kako se veliki jezički modeli mogu koristiti u istraživanju bez stvaranja lažnog osećaja sigurnosti. • **Tema:** Istraživač vs. mašina: Da li veštačka inteligencija može da zameni istraživanje korisničkog iskustva? **Jovan Stevović** je izvršni direktor i suosnivač kompanije Chino.io. Živi između Italije i Nemačke i radi u jednom od najzahtevnijih regulatornih okruženja — digitalno zdravstvo. Doktorirao je u oblasti inovacija u zdravstvu i ima više od deset godina iskustva u industriji, radeći na preseku veštačke inteligencije, usklađenosti sa propisima i razvoja proizvoda. U ovom predavanju, Jovan deli iskustvo izgradnje i prodaje kompanije. Od ideje, prvih odluka i obezbeđivanja finansiranja do toga kako zaista izgledaju prodaje kompanija iza kulisa. Iskustvo iz prve ruke koje nijedna knjiga ne može da prenese. • **Tema:** Od nule do prodaje: realna slika preduzetničkog puta **\# Program događaja** * **18:00 - 18:30** Ulaz i upoznavanje * **18:30 - 18:40** Uvodna reč * **18:40 - 19:00** Milica T.

Broj mesta je ograničen na 80 učesnika. Molimo vas da potvrdite dolazak kako bismo mogli da isplaniramo prostor, hranu i piće. Gradimo, delimo i podržavamo jedni druge. Vidimo se! **==================================================================** **======================== ENGLISH VERSION ========================** **==================================================================** We're back with the 7th gathering of builders, founders, and tech folks from the former Yugoslavia (ex-YU), organized by [Nemački kutak](https://nemackikutak.com/) and [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/). The event is held in English and open to everyone - whether you’re from the region or just part of the broader scene. **\# Date and Location** * Wednesday, May 6, 2026 * cognee.ai - Courtyard 4, 1st Floor, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39-40 * Start: 18:00 **\# Speakers and topics** **Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.** **Milica T. Jovanović** is a Senior UX Researcher with over two decades of experience across design, research, and product. She focuses on understanding real user behavior and turning insights into better product decisions, with a growing interest in the role of AI in research workflows. In this talk, Milica explores whether AI should replace UX researchers: where it works, where it fails, and what gets lost along the way. She shares how to use LLMs in research without falling into the trap of false confidence. * **Talk:** Researcher vs. The Machine: Should AI replace the UX researcher? **Jovan Stevović** is the CEO and co-founder of Chino.io, living between Italy and Germany and operating in one of the toughest regulatory environments: health tech. With a PhD in healthcare innovation and 10+ years in the industry, he operates at the intersection of AI, compliance, and product. In this talk, Jovan shares a raw perspective on building and selling a business: from day zero decisions and fundraising to how exit deals are actually structured behind the scenes. First-hand experience no book can teach. * **Talk:** Day Zero to Exit: The Founder’s Full Circle Reality Check **\# Timetable** * **18:00 - 18:30** Entry & networking * **18:30 - 18:40** Opening note * **18:40 - 19:00** Milica T.

Join us for a hands-on, collaborative **4-hour workshop** where we use LLMs to code. We will be implementing the following 3 exercises: [connect four](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/connect-four) [amazon locker](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/amazon-locker) and [elevator](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/elevator) ### **What we will do** We will use the LLM (any free one, like chatGPT) to write code that solves a given problem. Our goal is to not write code by hand, and to produce an application that passes a set of specifications. ### 🛠 **Share ideas about agentic coding** We will be practicing our agentic coding skills: * bring a laptop with Java or Golang installed * know how to code in either Java or Golang * share and explore ideas about how to use LLMs to create production-ready applications ### 💬 **Atmosphere & Logistics** The workshop is **free**. There will also be a 20 min pause, if you want to order snacks.

Agenda * 19:00 Welcome to the PUB (Python Users Berlin) – setting up * 19:15 Impressions from PyCon DE and PyData Darmstadt * 19:45 Workshop on adapting to LLMs as Python Programmers * 20:45 Social gathering (hang out afterwards to chat) This month host Travis will be presenting on his key takeaways from the recent PyCon DE & PyData Darmstadt, including personal highlights from the conference and which talks you should watch later on YouTube. Afterwards, Travis will lead a structured conversation on how we as Python programmers are coping with the ever changing technologies around us, namely LLMs like Claude-Code, OpenCode, Gemini, etc. Think of it as an unofficial LLM support group for Pythonistas! ⚡️ Lightning talks As always, we'll still have time for lightning talks (short 5 minute presentations). Please bring your ideas and inspirations with! Additional links: * https://2026.pycon.de/

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink. Improving will be providing pizza and beverages. 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s). Topic: This month John Lairson will share a notebook describing the Alpaca (Paper) Trading API and discuss different algorithms for evaluating stock trades. We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
