Berlin. Designing the Next Generation of AI Experiences

**Designing the Next Generation of AI Experiences** AI products are evolving faster than ever. But while interfaces become smarter, trust, clarity, and usability often lag behind. Join us for an evening exploring how designers shape AI experiences people can actually understand, trust, and use with confidence. Together with leading voices from the design industry, we’ll discuss the challenges of designing for AI-driven products, emerging UX patterns, and what it takes to build meaningful human-centered experiences in an increasingly automated world. The evening will feature several keynotes, followed by a panel discussion and networking with Berlin’s design community. **Speakers & Talks** **[Vitaly Friedman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vitalyfriedman/)** Author, co-author, editor of Smashing Books ([https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books)), and a curator of Smashing Conferences ([https://www.smashingconf.com](https://www.smashingconf.com)). He is the UX lead with the European Parliament and Smashing Magazine ([www.smashingmagazine.com](https://www.smashingmagazine.com)) and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with large and small companies and organizations like Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and others. **Talk: Designing For Trust In AI Products** We often assume that just because a product has AI features, users will automatically value, appreciate, and rely on it in their daily work. In practice, people expect software to work — and AI systems often introduce uncertainty, unpredictability, and a lack of transparency. This session explores how to design AI experiences that feel trustworthy, understandable, and genuinely useful, with practical UX patterns and lessons from real products. **[Anna Herasymenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaisdesigner/)** Staff Product Designer at Meta, working at the intersection of AI, systems thinking, and product craft. **Talk: Vibe Coding for Craft** AI products can't be designed in static tools. The behavior is the experience — and behavior only shows up when real APIs and real data are in the loop. Designing in Figma is like planning a meal with pre-chopped ingredients. Vibe coding is actually cooking it: discovering the oven runs slow, the recipe has a typo, a spice is missing. That gap between planning and cooking is where craft lives. This talk reframes AI-assisted coding as a repeatable workflow for designing AI experiences: stress-testing edge cases, surfacing the failure modes static design tools hide, and closing the gap between looks right and feels right. **[Rafaela Stamboroski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rstamboroski/)** Model Behavior Designer for Joule at SAP **Guarding the Guardrails: The Designer’s** **Role as Behavior Becomes the Product** Designers have always created shared context: aligning people, decisions, workflows, and business goals around user needs. In AI-native products, this skill becomes even more critical. Strategy and systems thinking turn into behavior alignment: shaping how AI acts, responds, and collaborates with humans. This talk explores why the designer’s role is not shrinking in the AI paradigm. Instead, designers are moving upstream: defining guardrails, influencing product strategy, and helping businesses deliver AI value safely and meaningfully. **[Abanoub Awny](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abanoubawny/)** Sr. UX Designer & AI Innovator @ SAP Signavio, Founder of [Unblind UX](https://www.linkedin.com/company/unblindux/) **Your Next User Isn’t Human** AI is no longer just a feature inside digital products. It is becoming an active participant in how products are used, interpreted, and operated. As agents begin to navigate workflows, consume system structures, interpret content, make recommendations, and collaborate with humans, design must evolve beyond screens and interactions. This talk challenges designers, product teams, and developers to rethink what “user experience” means when the next user of your system may not be human. **Agenda** **18:00 — Doors Open & Networking** **18:30 — Keynote Presentations** **20:00 — Panel Discussion** **20:45 — Community Networking** **Venue Host** Hosted by **[SAP Office](https://www.sap.com/germany/about/berlin.html)** in Berlin — a front-runner and thought leader in enterprise application software, focusing on innovating parts of the core business, exploring trends, and developing new technologies. **Hosts** This event is organized by [Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma) ambassadors (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about?utm_source=luma)): * [Emiliia Karpiuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emiliiakarpiuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Julia Savchuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliia-savchuk/?utm_source=luma) * [Yuliia Kovalova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuliiakovalovapm/?skipRedirect=true) **Photos & Video** Please note that we will be taking photos at this event.

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion

Sun, May 31, 1:00 PM
From Chitta Space- Awareness in Experience
4.8

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?

What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?

Wed, Jun 10, 4:15 PM
From ProductTank Berlin
4.6

What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves? You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast. Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments. We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase. This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era. **Agenda** 18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking 19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin 19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov 19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva 20:10 – Networking 21:30 – Event ends Please note: - Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue. - The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup. - We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand. **Opening the PR is just the beginning** Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared. About the speaker [Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience. **What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase** A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story. About the speaker [Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.
