Applying AI Events in Berlin

"AI research" and "AI in production" are two pretty different worlds at this point. This page collects events from the production side: how teams integrate LLMs into real products, build agents that are worth trusting, wire up RAG pipelines that don't quietly hallucinate, and ship Copilot-style features without breaking the rest of the app. Agentic coding is a particularly active thread right now, with dedicated meetups and studios popping up across the continent.

This page narrows the Berlin calendar to Applying AI events. It's a subset of Germany's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Berlin runs one of the densest tech-event calendars in Europe. The scene is distinctively community-driven: a large share of the city's meetups run in English, many of them out of independent spaces rather than corporate offices, and the rhythm is nightly rather than monthly. Rust, Go, Python, TypeScript, and the growing applied-AI community are all particularly strong, alongside deep traditions in hacker culture (the Chaos Computer Club's Berlin chapter), privacy, and open source.

Berlin, 🇩🇪 Germany

Women & Workflows: Automation Night with Needle x Femella

Shicklerstraße 5, Berlin (near Jannowitzbrücke)
May 6, 2026
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Technology is reshaping how we work.

Women in AI is an evening designed for women in Berlin who want to build practical AI and automation skills, expand their networks, and position themselves for the future of work.

Hosted by Needle and Femella, and Know Your Needs this event brings together ambitious women who are curious about AI tools, workflow automation, and the systems that power modern businesses. Whether you’re building a career, launching projects, freelancing, or exploring new opportunities, understanding how to use these tools is quickly becoming a powerful advantage.

You don’t need a technical background to start. What matters is curiosity, ambition, and a willingness to learn quickly.

This session combines clear explanations, hands-on experimentation, and conversations with other women who are actively building careers and skills in a rapidly changing landscape.

What you’ll learn

  • What automation actually is, and why it’s becoming essential across industries
  • How AI tools can streamline workflows and improve productivity
  • Real examples of automations used by founders and operators
  • How to build a simple automation yourself during the session

The goal is not just to learn about automation, but to leave with a new skill you can apply immediately.

Event Schedule

6:00 – 6:30 PM
Arrival & networking

6.30 PM - 7 PM

No technical background required.

Bring your laptop, curiosity, and ambition.

We’re excited to bring together women in Berlin who want to build skills, share knowledge, and shape the future of work together.

About Know Your Needs:

Know Your Needs helps organisations create environments where people can truly thrive. Where emotional intelligence, care, and meaning are part of how work gets done, not something added on afterward.

The work began with simple observation: across hundreds of conversations with employees, founders, and creative leaders, the same patterns appeared. What people needed most at work rarely came down to perks or productivity; it was about feeling recognised, supported, and able to grow without losing themselves in the process.

Founded by Ottoline, Know Your Needs brings together decades of curiosity about what helps humans flourish. Her path has blended philosophy, psychology, and lived experience: studying linguistics and Sanskrit philosophy at Oxford, working in Berlin’s fast‑paced tech world, and working for the past 5 years as a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist.

This blend of perspectives shapes an approach grounded in both depth and practicality; one that connects the inner world of people with the outer systems they inhabit.

At its heart, Know Your Needs is about creating workplaces that meet our core human needs for purpose, belonging, and growth. When those needs are met, people don’t just perform better, they feel alive in what they do and connected to the people they do it with.

Agent Gateway Deep Dive with Christian Posta

Berlin, 🇩🇪 Germany

------ From APIs to Agents: Why we need a new gateway layer ------

Many enterprise architectures today are still built around APIs: clearly defined interfaces, request-response patterns, and service-to-service communication.

But with the rise of AI agents, this model starts to break.
Agents don’t just call APIs. They plan, reason, use tools, interact with other agents, and continuously exchange context with LLMs. This creates entirely new challenges around security, governance, observability, and control.

This session dives deep into Agent Gateway, a new infrastructure layer designed specifically for agent-to-agent, agent-to-tool, and agent-to-LLM communication.

------ What we’ll explore ------

Why traditional API gateways fall short in agent-based systems
The shift from service-to-service to agent-to-everything communication
Core concepts behind Agent Gateway (MCP, A2A, tool integration)
Security, policy enforcement, and guardrails for autonomous agents
Observability: tracing prompts, decisions, and tool usage
Real-world architecture patterns for building agentic systems
How Agent Gateway fits into emerging “Agent Mesh” architectures

------ Speaker ------

Christian Posta (Solo.io)

Christian is a globally recognized expert in cloud-native architecture, service mesh, and distributed systems. As Global Field CTO at Solo.io, he works with enterprises to design and implement next-generation platforms—and is now at the forefront of AI-native infrastructure and agent systems.

------ Who should attend? ------

This meetup is for people who are building or thinking about the next generation of enterprise systems:
Platform engineers and architects, Cloud-native practitioners, AI engineers working with agents and LLMs, Anyone exploring how AI changes system design

------ How to join -------

This time, the meetup will be in the premises of Riverty in Kantstrasse 17, Berlin (4th Floor of Living Berlin mall). Riverty will provide pizza and drinks. Please bring your ID as you will need to sign an NDA (we are a regulated entity).
