How is AI changing the world beyond software?

How is AI changing the world beyond software?

Thu, Oct 22, 4:30 PM
From On Product
4.7

After a too long break, it's time to get together again. And the next meetup topic is: **"How is AI changing the world beyond software?"** We, *software* product builders, deal with AI every day in our product work. We can imagine where things are heading in the our *software* building world, but what about the rest of the world? Healthcare, education, logistics, the arts? What's actually shifting out there? To keep it real, I'd love each of you to bring a guest who does NOT work in tech or software. A teacher, a doctor, an architect, a chef... anyone with a perspective from outside our bubble. More details coming soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Brew & Brainstorm: Design Thinking for Sustainability

Brew & Brainstorm: Design Thinking for Sustainability

Sun, Oct 25, 1:00 PM
From SustainAbility Berlin

**Brew & Brainstorm: Design Thinking for Sustainability** Got a sustainability question you can't stop thinking about? An idea you'd like to test, or a challenge from your work or daily life? Bring it along. Brew & Brainstorm is a relaxed, participant-led coffee session. **You set the agenda.** There are no slides and no lectures. Just curious people, good coffee, and conversations that actually go somewhere. **How it works** ☕ **Arrive & connect (10 min):** Grab a coffee and meet the group. 💡 **Share your topics (10 min):** Everyone writes down one or two sustainability topics they want to explore. These can be climate, circular economy, fashion, supply chains, green careers, everyday habits, policy, or anything else. 🗳️ **Vote (5 min):** The group picks the topics with the most energy. 🔄 **Design-thinking rounds (2–3 x 15 min):** For each topic, we use simple design thinking steps: * *Understand:* What's really going on? Who is affected? * *Reframe:* What's the core challenge? * *Ideate:* What could we do differently, as individuals, organizations, or communities? ✨ **Takeaways (10 min):** Each person shares one insight or one action they'll try. **Who should join** Anyone curious about sustainability is welcome: professionals, students, entrepreneurs, career changers, or people who simply care. No expertise is needed, only an open mind and a willingness to share. **Why come** * Meet like-minded people in a small, welcoming group * Explore the topics *you* care about, not a fixed agenda * Leave with fresh perspectives and practical ideas * Help shape a growing sustainability community 📍 Café Neundrei, Monbijouplatz 2, 10178 Berlin ☕ **Please note:** We're hosted by Café Neundrei, so each attendee is expected to order at least one drink or snack. It's a small way to thank our hosts for the space and keep this meetup possible. *Bring a friend. Every great idea starts with a conversation.*

PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐** The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃 HOW TO FIND US? Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work. Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past. This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share. If you enjoy art and/or technology, you’ll likely have a great time, and maybe even learn something new! BEGINNERS WELCOME! If you’re new to creative coding, you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](https://creativecode.berlin/learn).

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

Sun, Nov 1, 5:00 PM
From Art After Hours

For our first meetup, we’re diving into the world of Maurizio Cattelan at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Known for his provocative, often ironic works, Cattelan has a way of making us laugh, feel uncomfortable, question what we’re seeing — and sometimes wonder whether it’s art at all. Have you visited the exhibition? Let’s get together to share our impressions, exchange perspectives, and discuss what we think lies behind the work. We’ll kick things off with a few conversation prompts before settling into a relaxed, open discussion. Afterwards, we’ll continue over drinks and get to know each other. No art expertise required, no right or wrong answers — just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to share your thoughts. **Important**: Please visit the exhibition independently before the meetup. You don’t need to prepare anything — just come with your impressions! https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/maurizio-cattelan-night/ Let’s see what happens when we look at the same art through different eyes. ✨

A Talk on Career & Personal Insights with Torsten Waack van Wasen

A Talk on Career & Personal Insights with Torsten Waack van Wasen

Thu, Oct 29, 9:00 AM
From Visionary Voices

**CEO of GERRY WEBER, Managing Director at Internetstores, COO of Marc Cain, Operating Partner in private equity: on paper, Torsten’s career looks like a classic success story.** But that’s not the story he is coming to Visionary Voices to tell. Instead, he will talk about what rarely makes it onto a CV: decisions that didn’t work out, unexpected detours, moments of doubt — and why some of his biggest mistakes became some of his most valuable experiences. His path to senior leadership was anything but conventional. Rather than starting out in finance or business, Torsten began his career in communications and marketing. He will take us back to the marketing world of the 1980s and reflect on just how much the way we work has changed since then. What have we gained — and what might we have lost along the way? Does everything we call progress actually move us forward? And what role do the latest digital tools and AI play in all of this? After decades in international business and senior leadership, his perspective ultimately leads to a much more personal question — one that no CV can answer: What truly matters in the end? Which experiences and values stay with us? How does our understanding of success change over the course of a career? And what can we learn from the moments that didn’t go according to plan? An invitation to look beyond titles, positions, and polished success stories — and discover a more personal and reflective perspective on a remarkable career.
