AWS Women's User Group Berlin: April Event - From Control to Intelligence
**The AWS Women’s User Group Berlin** is delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup sponsored by Public Cloud Group focused on **Cloud Governance and AI Security**.
Join us for an evening focused on building compliant cloud platforms and securing modern AI workloads. Whether you're dealing with highly regulated workloads in your organization or looking to stay ahead of the curve in AI Security, this session will equip you with practical knowledge and innovative approaches.
**Speaker Info**
**Keynote Talk**
**Speaker: Shabnam Motamedirad**
**Position:** Solutions Architect, Public Cloud Group
**Talk Title: Governance First: Building a Compliant AWS Multi-Account Setup**
**Abstract:** Highly regulated industries face strict requirements around security, governance, compliance, and auditability, yet they still need the agility and scalability of the cloud. In this talk, we will walk through how to design and implement a secure AWS Landing Zone tailored for regulated environments using AWS Control Tower as a foundation.
**You’ll learn:**
* What defines a highly regulated environment and the common compliance challenges in cloud adoption
* The core concepts of an AWS Landing Zone and why it’s the foundation of a secure multi-account strategy

Theory Meets Practice #3: Embedded Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring **Elias Trommer** from **Infineon**, who will guide us through an interactive session on Embedded AI.
**Title:** Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers
📅 **Date:** 29.04.2026
🕕 **Time:** 18:00
📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011]
The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with **dida** and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop!
***
**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware.
**In this session, we will cover:**
* Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system
* Quantization for model compression
* Anatomy of an Embedded Application
* Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them
* Deploying a model step by step
**Who is this event for?**
This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup**

Berlindroid April Meetup
Android, the one mystery left to be solved, by developers all around the world. Let us make a dent into the unknown by meeting, talking, discussing, drinking and celebrating what is the mobile operating system Android, developer edition.
To start our tourney today, we got
Siarhei Krupenich: Android Is Not Just Mobile: Lessons from TV, Auto, and WearAndroid is more than a mobile platform. This talk explores how development differs across Android TV, Android Auto, and Wear OS, focusing on platform-specific constraints, interaction models, and architectural trade-offs. Based on real-world experience, the session highlights practical lessons that go beyond traditional smartphone development.
Following a quick break we'll have our second talk:
Dirk Jäckel: From Cloud to Edge: Practical On-Device LLM Integration on AndroidThe assumption that LLM inference requires cloud infrastructure is increasingly outdated. This talk examines the current state of local language models on Android, covering model availability (including Liquid AI’s models and Google’s Gemini Nano), hardware constraints, and developer APIs. As a hands-on case study, we present an Android application leveraging Gemini Nano for on-device auto-tagging — demonstrating how to integrate MediaPipe / ML Kit-based inference into a production workflow.
And now it is your turn, please RSVP to this meetup, tell your friends and foes about it and finally enjoy some drinks on Hubraum, Techincubator of Deutsche Telekom

The Quiet Hour - Women's Circle
**The Quiet Hour** is a two-and-a-half-hour guided journey for women — a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of shared presence.
When we speak about healing in this space, it is not limited to one dimension. It can touch the emotional, mental, and physical layers of our experience. The intention is to create a moment where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and we can reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and alignment within ourselves.
During the evening, we guide you through meditation, visualization, sound, and gentle energy work. The vibrations of sound help the body release tension, while the guided visualization invites you to reconnect with the life you wish to create and the deeper intentions that live within you.
Together, we also explore the power of identity — the understanding that the way we see ourselves shapes the life we experience. When we reconnect with our inner strength and authenticity, we begin to move from emotional chaos toward a more grounded and stable foundation within ourselves.
At **SheWhoRests**, we believe that every woman carries immense strength within her. Yet even the strongest among us needs connection — someone who believes in our dreams, understands our struggles, and holds space for our journey.
That is why community and connection are an important part of this gathering.
Through gentle sharing and simple exercises, we create moments where women can feel supported by one another and remember that we are not walking this journey alone.
The intention of The Quiet Hour is simple:
to offer a space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more supported in your journey.

Episode 1 of the 2026 Edition - A dance into the May!
Dear Kotlineers,
After a slightly longer break than planned - we are back! This time we meet in the chambers of **voize GmbH** \- one of Berlin's \(if not the\) most flourishing startups\.
As the flowers open and the days stretch long, we're dancing into May with some talks.
**Line-Up:**
👉 **Coroutines behind the scenes**
by *Sergey Shkurov*
Have you ever wondered how Kotlin coroutines actually work under the hood? In this talk, we dive into the JVM bytecode behind suspend functions and reconstruct the state machines step by step. You’ll follow a hands-on exploration of real compiled code and see how continuations and suspension actually work.
👉 **YOUR TOPIC HERE**

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
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!

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!
