AI: what are we afraid of, and what do we want instead?
The first Claude Conversation in Berlin
Most arguments about AI are about whether it will turn out good or bad. Nobody settles that in one evening, and it may not even be the useful question. This evening is about two questions we can actually work on: what are we, the people who live in this city, afraid of losing, and what would we want instead, concretely, here in Berlin?
Who this is for
You don't need to use Claude, or any AI tool, to come, and you don't need to be technical. If AI makes you uneasy, angry, or simply tired, you're exactly who we're hoping to meet. We also want teachers, nurses, artists, civil servants, shop owners, researchers, parents, students, and anyone quietly wondering what all this means for their work and their street. Enthusiasts are welcome too. The room is built for a mix of views, not for agreement.
How the evening works
Around 50 people in small circles, with hosts keeping things moving. No talks, no demos, no pitch. We start with what worries people, said out loud and taken seriously. Then we turn it around: if AI went well for Berlin, what would be different five years from now, and what would have to be true to get there? We write up the themes afterwards, without names, and everyone who took part gets the write-up.
Why this is the first of several
This is the first in a series of events run by the Claude Community Ambassadors in Berlin. Each one takes on a single hard question about AI and this city. The series leads to an Impact Lab: a full-day build with a Berlin nonprofit or public institution, working on one real problem they bring. Everything made on that day is donated to them and released as open source. What people say at this first conversation shapes what gets built later, so if you'd like the outcome to be something you'd actually use, this is the evening to say so.
Practical
Free, in person, open to everyone. If more people register than we can fit, we'll choose
How do you hypergrow in industries where trust is everything? Where one mistake isn't a learning moment—it's a liability. Join us for an intimate conversation with two marketing leaders scaling AI companies in some of the most demanding verticals: legal and audit. We're diving into the playbooks that drive 10x growth without cutting corners on compliance, credibility, or quality. From building new categories to defending market position, from winning over risk-averse enterprises to scaling internationally—this is hypergrowth with guardrails. If you're building in regulated spaces, scaling an AI company, or curious how to market complex, mission-critical software, this conversation is for you. About the Series The "Women's AI Breakfast" is a movement that propels women to the forefront of innovation. With each session, we aim to create a space where female leaders converge, sharing experiences, insights, and opportunities. It's more than just a breakfast; it's a melting pot of ideas, a catalyst for collaboration, and a celebration of the incredible impact women make in the world of technology.

The best part of a founder day is rarely the desk. It's the founder two seats over who solved last month the thing you are stuck on today. We are running a Coworking Day together with Founders Hub Berlin, where we will focus on deep work, coaching from people who have done it, and a room that shares what it knows. Founding is lonely, even with a team around you. Here, you'll get quiet time to focus, a one-on-one with an investor, a masterclass to take home, and a full day of trading what actually works with people who understand your week. 🧠 Who it's for Early-stage and scaling founders actively building: shipping product, raising money, leading a team. 🎟️What your ticket covers A full day at The Delta, coffee, breakfast, your one-on-one with an investor and experenced founder (first come, first serve - as we only have 6 slots), a one hour Masterclass, and a community of founders. You leave with your work moved forward and a handful of people you can message next week. Agenda 🕘 09:30 - 10:00 - Arrival and Breakfast Grab coffee, croissants, meet the room, and get settled. 🗣️ 10:00 – 10:45 - Intro Rounds We split in small groups, share what you are building, discover collaboration opportunities. You leave the day with at least 4-5 people you know really well. 🚶♀️10:45 - 11:00 The Delta Campus Tour Take a quick walk around the space and get a feel for where the magic happens. 💻 11:00 – 13:00 - Studio Hours with Kazuna Yamamoto During this block, founders can sit down with Kazuna Yamamoto, Head of Studio Operations at The Delta, for a focused spar session. Bring your pitch, your fundraising questions, your GTM strategy, or whatever's keeping you up at night. Kazuna is a 2x founder (Fintech, B2C Marketplace) and investor (Automotive, LatAm and Europe) and part of The Delta Studio team backing early-stage founders building disruptive products. Sessions are 20 minutes long and first come, first served. 🥗 13:00 – 14:00 - Community Lunch We’ll head out as a group. Everyone
