An evening for people who build with agents every day: swap workflows, compare setups, and meet builders at your level. Presented by Nuri. TL;DR Advanced focused: This is not for beginners. We won't focus on covering basic concepts. Discuss & exchange: Tools, workflows, and lessons learned from building with agents. Structured Connections: We connect you with people relevant to you, based on what you tell us at registration. Agenda Intro Welcome and a quick overview of what we're doing tonight.

The topics below are starting points — we pick together on the night where to go deep.What changed since August — New models and tools since our last advanced evening. What did you switch to, and why? Harnesses & Custom Tooling — Claude Code, Codex, Pi — or building your own harness and agent tooling. Interfaces — CLIs, desktop apps, custom UIs — and agents in shared channels: is the channel the new interface? Environments & Going Local — Local, managed cloud, VPS/intranet; self-hosting and running open-source models. Workflows & Evals — How you structure agent workflows, when an agent vs. a plain API call, and how you know it's actually working. Autonomy & Real Access — What you let run unattended, multi-agent setups, and how far you let agents touch accounts, money and production. + Your topics — Open for suggestions. Bring what you want to discuss. Structured Connections We create a setting to connect you 1-on-1 with others who share your interests and topics. Drinks & Connect Open conversation over food and drinks, thanks to Nuri. We close the space around 21:00 and continue at the nearby "Trödler" bar.

Berlin | Claude Conversation x Foresight Institute — Can AI help us solve science's hardest problems?

CIC Berlin, Berlin, Germany
In person

AI systems can now read the literature, write and run analysis code, and propose experiments. Some research groups already run agents in a loop against their own open problems. Others see AI mostly as a source of confident mistakes, or as a threat to how science is done and who gets to do it. This is an evening conversation about one hard question: What would it take for AI to speed up the science that matters most, and what is left for us to do? (The first Claude Impact Lab in Berlin, October 2026) We will bring together working scientists from the life sciences, medicine, chemistry and materials, physics, mathematics, nanotechnology, and climate and earth sciences with the engineers who build AI agents. This is not a lecture and not a product demo. We will spend most of the evening in small groups around four questions: How will this change our field? Where is AI already useful in your research, where does it fail, and what worries you? What do we need to address this? Data, tools, skills, verification, trust: what is missing between a capable model and a result you would publish? What can we do now? Which open problems in your work are ready for an AI research loop today? Where do we begin? Together we pick the concrete problems we will build on. The evening ends with a shortlist of real open research problems. These become the brief for the follow-up Claude Impact Lab, a full-day build where scientists and AI engineers turn them into working, open-source research loops. The series is co-hosted by the Foresight Institute Berlin AI Node. It continues Foresight's Existential Hope work on how advanced technology can go well for people, starting from the problems scientists actually face. Who it's for: researchers from any field and at any career stage who want to shape how AI enters their field, and AI engineers who want their work to matter outside software. No technical background needed. Bring: a problem from your own research that you wish someone or something

Bring whatever you build with: OpenClaw, LangGraph, the Claude Agent SDK, CrewAI, n8n, or something you wrote yourself. The question isn't which stack. It's whether the thing runs. How the day works We set the programme live at the opening at 14:00. Sessions, rooms and workshop times are decided with the room, so please be there on time. Doors open at 13:30. Opening: the theme, the plan for the day, and the unconference board. Pitch a session or pick one Afternoon, two tracks in parallel. On-ramp: get your first agent running. Mentors walk you through installing and configuring an agent with an AI assistant, then using it. Bring a laptop; no experience needed Unconference: sessions proposed by the room and run by the room, for builders who want to go deeper Showcase: the launch of the Agentic Hackathon on 27 November (challenges presented, teams formed), a short builder panel, and live five-minute demos from the community Networking to close, until 20:00 Everyone on stage is in the room, no remote talks.

Berlin | Claude Code Meetup

Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
In person

A meetup series for platform engineers, DevOps practitioners and the cloud native community, focused on what happens when coding agents move from individual laptops into shared infrastructure. The second edition tackles a problem every platform team is about to own. Skills, MCP servers and CLAUDE.md files multiply faster than anyone can review them. Shared naively, they turn into an ungoverned pile. Two speakers present two production-tested answers: composable specialist agents governed centrally, and layered, team-owned context treated as code inside a large monorepo. Stop Sharing Skills: Composable Agents for Your Team Dominik Schmidle · Product Lead for Platforms, Giant Swarm Most of us have a growing pile of skills, MCP servers and CLAUDE.md files on our laptops. Sharing them just creates an even bigger pile in the team account. In my experience, the thing worth sharing is not a prompt or a skill, but a specialist agent, composed from building blocks that are easy to provide and govern centrally. In this talk I’ll show what a platform for managing those building blocks and a whole fleet of agents can look like. Dominik Schmidle is Product Lead for Platforms at Giant Swarm, where he builds the Agent Platform that lets organisations adopt AI agents in an easy and governable way. Designing an Onion: Domain-Scoped AI Context at Monorepo Scale Na’aman Hirschfeld · Principal Systems Engineer, ServiceNow (Armis) Coding agents are only as good as the context they are given. In a large monorepo, dozens of teams write that context: hundreds of skills, rules and instructions that grow faster than anyone reviews them. How do you keep it correct? We started with plugin marketplaces, one per team, and quickly hit the limits of the harness. Engineers ended up running different subsets, and no two agents worked from the same rules. So we rebuilt the setup as an onion. A small core loads in every session. Each directory beneath it adds its own layer of rules, skills and instr

Escaping Boring AI Slop | MeetUp @HelloDigital

Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
In person

For Product Leaders and Decision-Makers who use AI every day and are tired of what comes back. Let the AI do the research, you do the thinking. Type a prompt, get a draft and publish. Everyone does it, everyone gets the same result. We see it in product teams every week: strategy papers, concepts and feature specs that read well and that nobody in the room can defend. Ask one hard question and the thinking behind them turns out to be three sentences someone typed into a prompt box. Research on generative AI confirms it: the more people use the same tools the same way, the more their output converges and the less they think while it happens. For a decision-maker, that is not a productivity gain. That is a room full of people agreeing with the same machine. On November 5th, Jens Ravens (CTO at nerdgeschoss and long-time conference speaker) shows how to reverse this. His method is the Expert Interview: the AI does the research first, then it interviews you. One pointed question at a time, each with a deliberate provocation, until your half-formed thoughts turn into a position you can defend. The effort flips, the AI works on asking good questions and you deliver the substance. Jens uses it at nerdgeschoss for real work: positioning, website concepts, turning vague customer requests into something a team can build. In his words: "Your AI doesn't need better prompts. It needs to make you think." He will walk you through the method and show a few short demos, so you leave with something you can run the next morning, with the tools you already have. What you'll take home A clear picture of what "same prompt, same result" costs your team and where it already shows The three steps of the Expert Interview and why the order matters How to use provocation to get real expertise out of your team (and yourself), not the polished version Why speaking beats typing when the goal is thinking, not polishing Where the method pays off beyond writing: strategy, positioning, product decisi

The Design Gathering ⟡ Who are we designing for now?

The Delta Campus, Berlin, Germany
In person

One evening where Berlin's design communities come together to answer one question. Who are we designing for now? AI answers before people reach the page, agents act on behalf of users, leadership picks the shiny thing before anyone tests it, and careers no longer move in straight lines. Every room on the night looks at that question from a different side. What to expect Talks, hands-on workshops and a closed room for design leads, running in parallel rooms on the 5th floor of The Delta Campus. Between and around the sessions, the foyer lounge is open all evening for networking, food and drinks, and tables from the partner communities. The evening is free for everyone. Registration is required and approved, so we can keep a good mix of people in every room. Workshop seats are limited, and registration for the workshops opens one week before the event. We'll take photos during the evening. If you'd rather not appear in them, just tell the photographer. Programme 17:30 Doors open, registration, food and drinks in the foyer lounge 18:25 Opening 18:40 Round 1 19:30 Break 19:45 Round 2 20:35 Closing, then drinks until 21:00 Rooms are colour-coded.

Deep Tech Night: Health Tech

Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
In person

For our final event of the year, we’re partnering with Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), Germany’s largest statutory health insurer, and welcoming its CEO, Dr Jens Baas, onto the stage. Germany has strong research, committed clinicians and ambitious founders. The harder part is the route from a good idea to a solution that a hospital adopts and a payer reimburses. That route runs through insurers, researchers and clinicians, and they rarely share a room, let alone a stage. On 19 November, they will! Live and unscripted, we invite a payer, a researcher and a clinician to talk openly about what it takes to get a health innovation from the lab into routine care. 🏥 What to expect The Panel: Dr Jens Baas (TK), Prof Sławomir Stańczak (Fraunhofer HHI) and Prof Frank Giordano (clinical perspective) on stage, on the real barriers, trade-offs and what it takes to scale. Startup pitches: 4 hand-picked startups, five minutes each, followed by questions from investors and the audience. Open mic: one minute per startup, no slides. Problem, idea, ask. A handful of slots go to audience members who apply. Captain tables curated networking: four themed tables (demand, research transfer, clinical validation, funding and scale), each hosted by a table captain who shares expertise. Whether you work in research, clinical care, health systems or funding, or are building something new, come to hear what each side really needs, and find the people who can move your work forward. 🩺 Food and drinks provided.
