RealTalk is back! RSVP NOW! 🖤🪩 "From Attention to Intention: What Comes After the Attention Economy?" Real Talk is Best Nights VC’s ongoing panel series bringing together founders, investors, innovators, and creatives for open, honest discussions on entrepreneurship, culture, and capital. It’s a space to exchange ideas, share real experiences, and build meaningful connections, while creating a Best Night in our Berlin space. As consumer behaviour, technology and culture continue to evolve, so do the questions around what we build, what we value, and ultimately, what technology should enable us to do. For the past two decades, consumer tech has been optimized around one thing: attention. But what happens when the attention bubble bursts? Will going replace scrolling? Will passive participation be enough? Will consumers be content with just consuming content? 15 September | 18:00–22:00 | Berlin Rochstr. 16 Line-up TBA. Expect honest perspectives, open conversations, catering by Klub Kitchen, drinks, music and a Best Night. Open Doors For Open Minds. 🖤

Regulierung, Beschaffung und Rechtsanwendung technologiegestützt weiterentwickeln Das Meetup bringt Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger aus Politik, Verwaltung und Justiz mit Technologieunternehmen, Startups und weiteren Akteuren des GovTech-Ökosystems zusammen. Im Mittelpunkt des Austauschs stehen konkrete Umsetzungsperspektiven an der Schnittstelle von Regulierung, Beschaffung und Technologie: Wie lassen sich innovative Beschaffungs- und Vergabeverfahren gestalten? Welche Potenziale bietet Künstliche Intelligenz für rechtliche und regulatorische Prozesse? Und wie können maschinenlesbare Regelwerke, Law as Code und Computable Regulation dazu beitragen, Rechtsanwendung und Verwaltungsverfahren weiterzuentwickeln? Wir freuen uns auf Impulse und Praxisbeispiele von Deutsche Bundesbank, Senatsverwaltung für Finanzen Berlin, Noxtua, d.velop, Procure Ai, Mastercard, GovRadar, Rulemapping, fabasoft und GovTech Platforms. Die Beiträge verbinden Perspektiven aus Verwaltung, Finanzwesen, Technologieentwicklung und dem GovTech-Ökosystem und zeigen konkrete Anwendungsfälle für eine innovationsfreundliche und handlungsfähige Verwaltung. Ergänzend bietet die Veranstaltung die Möglichkeit, im Rahmen von Demo-Ständen Lösungen auszuprobieren. So können die Teilnehmenden nicht nur über technologische Ansätze und Erfahrungen diskutieren, sondern Lösungen unmittelbar kennenlernen und ihre Übertragbarkeit für Verwaltung, Staat und Gesellschaft prüfen. Die finale Agenda wird einige Tage vor der Veranstaltung geteilt. Wir freuen uns sehr, Sie bei der Veranstaltung begrüßen zu dürfen.
