Coffee & Lift Saturdays #18 — Women+ Gym Meetup

Join us for the 10th edition of the Unconference! Be part of a unique, no-hierarchy gathering of software engineers, AI/ML practitioners, and technologists for an evening of spontaneous collaboration, deep technical dives, and real-world knowledge sharing. Unlike traditional conferences, this unconference has no preset schedule or speakers. Instead, the agenda is created by you - on the spot. Whether you're building foundation models, deploying inference pipelines, scaling microservices, or experimenting with cutting-edge AI agents, this is the space to connect, discuss, and learn from peers who are in the trenches too. Some example sessions from our previous editions: AI Coding Tools Can fully generated codebases deliver secure, scalable architectures - what's the role of human design in the future? Model Hosting & Reliability As models grow in complexity, how can we ensure reliable, cost-efficient hosting at scale? AI Agent Orchestration What does swarm intelligence look like in the age of AI agents? How can we design incentives that guide agent behavior towards emergent goals? Meta Prompting for Code Generation What meta prompting techniques drive better code quality and maintainability? This event is curated for those who are actively building in software and AI, so that every session sparks meaningful, technical exchange. If you’re not currently hands-on in full-stack or AI development, we encourage you to sit this one out - and just a reminder, doors close at 6:30 PM sharp!

AI capabilities are advancing faster than many organizations can put them to work. While experimentation is widespread, a gap remains between access to powerful models and delivering meaningful impact at scale. Join Emmanuel Marill of OpenAI, Isabelle Sonnenfeld, Strategic Advisor at Explicit Protocol, and Julius Danek, Global Head of Expansion at Stripe, for a conversation about how enterprises can close that gap — and what changes as AI moves from tools that support individual tasks to agents that can carry work forward across systems and workflows. Drawing on their experience scaling technology and adoption across international markets, Emmanuel and Isabelle will explore where agentic AI can create practical value, what separates experimentation from successful deployment, and what organizations need across strategy, technology, talent and trust to move from pilots into production. The conversation will be followed by audience Q&A and networking. Speakers 🎤 Isabelle Sonnenfeld — Strategic Advisor, Explicit Protocol.

Ask Julia Römer everything about the the go-to-market of her ground-breaking technology: a fridge based on water, not watts. ### Can this be true? A refrigerator working without electricity, only with warm water. Julia and her startup team have invented this ground-breaking technology that leads the way to carbon-neutral cooling in times of heat waves and global vaccine demands. But how to go from invention to innovation and bring it to a wider market resonance? Since 2014, the startup has found its way to the market in a climate tech landscape full of global players. #### What you will learn How resilient visionaries must be in B2B climate tech What the difference between an invention and an innovation is How working with partners can create new opportunities This event is brought to you by SIBB Incubator, who supports founders building the future of cybersecurity, trustworthy AI, and deep tech. #### Speaker Julia Römer - CEO and co-founder of Coolar UG Invented electricity-free cooling powered only by hot water Education in Industrial Engineering (Technical Chemistry & Process Engineering) 20 years in German sustainability; former BUND e.V. board member Developing mobile cooling and air conditioning applications Moderated by: Etta Dannemann in her role as head coach.

What you can expect Conversational AI is becoming a new interaction paradigm, but designing a useful experience takes more than simply introducing a chat interface. In this session, Shivam Sunderam, Senior Experience Designer at eBay (focused on AI innovation), will share five practical lessons from designing across search, assistants, and conversational interfaces. The talk follows the user journey from identifying the right problem, to surfacing assistance in context, helping users express what they need, shaping responses that are easy to understand and act on, and creating experiences that adapt over time. The focus is on the UX side of conversational AI: the design decisions, interaction patterns, and trade-offs that make these experiences genuinely useful. Using practical examples, the session will explore how conversational interfaces differ from traditional UI and what designers should consider as these experiences become more common.

An evening where open agents meet open tabular models. This is a room for the people who build agents they own end-to-end: AI engineers building agentic systems and ML engineers building the models underneath them, together, at deepset's HQ in Berlin. Powered by Haystack (open-source AI orchestration framework) and Prior Labs (creators of TabPFN, an open-weight foundation model for tabular data), the sessions are shaped by what you're actually building, your experience, and your challenges in assembling open agent stacks. 🎯 Open Weights, Open Agents Agents have stopped being a single LLM that does everything. They now run inside a harness that manages the loop of reasoning and acting, decides which tool or model to call next, maintains memory and state across steps, and adds the observability and guardrails that make an agent trustworthy enough to ship. Haystack's orchestration turns a model into a reliable system and lets you compose specialized agents that hand off work to models best suited to the subtasks they're actually good at. One of those subtasks is prediction on structured data: the kind of tabular problem that generative models are a poor fit for and where classical ML still wins. Prior Labs' TabPFN is a foundation model purpose-built for exactly that: trained once, it makes strong predictions on new tabular datasets without task-specific fine-tuning, and it ships as open weights, so you retain control of your agent all the way down to the models it calls. Some example topics we'll discuss: Why you need orchestration for your agent Working with structured data in agentic systems Agents that need to make grounded predictions Benchmarking for tabular models: why LLM benchmarks don't apply, and why this gap exists Agents and tool selection: when agents should hand off to TabPFN for prediction tasks What "owning your stack end to end" actually requires in practice Open-weight vs. closed models: what changes when you can inspect, fine-tune, or self-host the t
