When I first started strength training, I was intimidated, confused, and nowhere near consistent. I kept thinking it would be easier if I just had other women around me going through the same thing. So I'm starting exactly that — for women who want to be more serious about their strength training, get extra accountability and a community of women.
Up until now we've been running Coffee & Lift on Saturdays. We're now expanding to Sundays too, so we can make room for more women and get more of us stronger together. This one is on a Sunday, at Holmes Place Gendarmenmarkt.
How it works
We meet in front of a cafe, grab a coffee, take a walk together, and end at a gym nearby. Want to train after? Great — work on your own program or buddy up with someone. Prefer to just do the walk and grab a coffee? Also great. What matters is that you're surrounded by other women who are interested in getting stronger.
9 free gym passes on us for Holmes Place Gendarmenmarkt!
If you've always wanted to join a Coffee & Lift but haven't been able to, this is your sign — we have 9 free gym passes to give out! All we ask in return is a quick story from the session tagging @womensliftclub.
Please only claim one if:
You have never had a free day pass from Holmes Place before. This one is important, it's a condition from our gym partner.
You don't already have a Wellpass, Urban Sports Club, or Holmes Place membership.
Let's make sure they go to the right people!
How to claim your pass: there's nothing to do in advance. Just come to the event and you'll go into the gym together with the host, who will sort everything out on the day. Please do make sure you actually turn up, because a claimed pass that goes unused is a spot another woman could have had.
Please note: by claiming a free pass, you agree that your name and email address will be shared with Holmes Place, and that they may contact you in future about their own offers and marketing.

From Individual Usage to Company-Wide Adoption How packaging and pricing turn AI experimentation into sustainable growth. AI products often begin with individual experimentation, but sustainable growth depends on turning that early usage into team and organisation-wide adoption. Reasoning Project together with Stripe Metronome and Langdock are bringing together a small group of founders, engineering leaders and operators building AI agents and autonomous workflows. We’ll explore how trials, usage limits, seats, credits and enterprise plans can reduce friction, demonstrate value quickly and create a commercially sustainable path from individual usage to broader adoption. In discussion with: Lennard Schmidt (Co-founder & Co-CEO at Langdock) Finn zur Mühlen (Co-founder & CEO at telli) Agenda 18:30 - Doors open 19:00 - Fireside discussion 19:45 - Bites, drinks and vibes 21:30 - Goodbyes, doors close About Reasoning Project Reasoning Project brings founders and technical builders across Europe and the US together with leading venture firms and generation-defining companies. We back teams at the earliest stages as angels, before and alongside tier-1 investors. About Metronome, a Stripe product Metronome is the usage-based billing platform that helps companies launch products faster and already powers some of the most ambitious AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA.
KanDDDinsky, the Domain-Driven Design community conference in Berlin, is back for its 9th edition: two days of talks and hands-on sessions from world-renowned experts and fresh community voices, plus workshops and an Open Space day.

BitDevs Bitcoin Socratic Seminar Berlin @ c-base Raumstation Join us for our monthly interactive Bitcoin Socratic Seminar in Berlin! We’ll start with pizza and beer (sponsored by Ordimint.com), followed by deep-dive discussions on the most interesting technical developments in Bitcoin from the past month. Participation by everyone is highly encouraged! Our goal is to foster lively discussion, knowledge sharing, and debate. In the weeks leading up to the event, participants gather topics such as: New research papers New BIPs and BOLTs Network statistics Technical blog posts Mailing list and Delving Bitcoin threads Pull requests and updates from key repos (Bitcoin Core, LND, Core Lightning, Eclair, BDK, rust-bitcoin, LDK, Electrum, …) Each topic is briefly introduced by our moderators and then discussed before moving on. The full list of links will be published at bitdevs.berlin 1–2 days before the event — please review them in advance to get the most out of the discussion. Important details: This event is highly technical — best suited for those with a solid grasp of Bitcoin internals. Curious newcomers are always very welcome, but expect in-depth conversations (see the former topics at bitdevs.berlin). Chatham House Rule applies: you may share what was discussed, but not who said it. No livestream, no photos, no recordings. The evening begins with food and networking; people often stay after the seminar to keep talking. Co-hosted by: Felix Freerk Fabian For background on the idea of BitDevs Socratic Seminars, see this article.
Developers, Ops, domain experts - let's get your hands dirty! We are rolling out a hybrid series of hands-on practitioner events around IBM Bob, the new AI-powered development partner designed to help you ideate, build, modernize and ship better code, faster. What makes these events stand out? 👩💻👨💻🧑💻🪩 Coding Watch Parties in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Ehningen, Vienna, Zurich and online/remote at the same time. Join live sessions together with other creators — not just watching, but discussing, reacting, and learning in real time. Think of it as turning a webinar into a shared experience. The final 2 AI Coding Watch Parties with Bob, each with tracks for beginners, intermediate and experts, will take place on \- 15th October and \- 1st December The Coding Watch Parties are free of charge. Onsite tickets are limited. 🥷🧙♀️🧝🪄 Hands-on + Community-first From hackathons to deep dives, these events are built to help you explore modern AI-driven development workflows and connect with peers. Bob is built to support domain users without coding experience as well as R&D + Ops folks from the ideation stage up to modernization of legacy apps, to secure, fullstack enterprise-ready development. IBM Bob supports the entire SDLC — and these sessions show and guide you how it actually works in best practice. If you’re curious about where AI is taking software engineering next, this is a great place to plug in. Detailed agenda will follow... 🙂
Join us for an evening with two talks, one theme: data flowing at scale — and handling it responsibly. From architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector fleet across edge-to-gateway topologies, to protecting PII in real-time Kafka pipelines — practical patterns, live demos, and a few privacy war stories along the way. Food and drinks on us — stick around after for networking. ✍️ RSVP soon — capacity is limited! 📅 Date and Time Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 18:00-20:45 📍 Location EBCONT office, beyond Quartier Heidestrasse, 34, 10557 Berlin 📝 Agenda 18:00 – Doors open, arrivals and check-in 18:20 – Welcome note by EBCONT 18:30 – Keeping data private in real-time pipelines by Olena Kutsenko, Confluent 19:00 – Q&A & quick break 19:15 – From Edge to Gateway: architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector deployment by Marcin "Perk" Stożek, Elastic 19:45 – Pizza, drinks & networking First Talk: Keeping data private in real-time pipelines by Olena Kutsenko, Confluent Real-time data — clicks, payments, messages — is full of personal information we're not supposed to leak. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time? We'll explore practical privacy protection patterns in streaming systems using Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg — from masking and tokenizing PII, to why "anonymous" data often isn't, to techniques like k-anonymity and noise injection. With real-world deanonymization stories and live demos included. Second Talk: From Edge to Gateway: architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector deployment by Marcin "Perk" Stożek, Elastic As OpenTelemetry adoption scales, the Collector becomes your observability backbone — but deploying it effectively means knowing what to run and where. We'll cover the full Collector fleet lifecycle: demystifying binaries (standard, EDOT, and custom OCB builds), mapping deployment topologies from edge agents to centralized gateways, and tackling fleet management at scale — from static configs to dynamic orchestration with
