Brainberg

Software Engineering Events in Europe

This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.

The community layer is broader than just language meetups. Women-in-Tech groups are active in most major cities (IT Women Talks, SheTech, Women in Tech Glasgow, REAL TALK and more), CoderDojo chapters run youth coding sessions across Europe, and the after-work/tech-social rhythm (Afterwork Drinks, Tech Mixers, Code Review evenings) fills out the week between structured meetups. GOTO Copenhagen, International JavaScript Conference Munich, Code BEAM Stockholm, Heapcon Belgrade, and Devoxx anchor the conference side.

Every major European tech city runs a weekly rotation of these. Berlin's Rust and Go scenes are deep; Amsterdam and London have strong functional programming communities; Paris runs some of the best TypeScript and full-stack events on the continent; the Nordic cities punch above their weight on language design and systems programming. Dublin, Barcelona, Lisbon, Zurich, and Munich each sustain multiple active user groups. Because "software engineering" is so broad, this page is most useful when you combine it with a location filter. Brainberg aggregates all of this, so the full schedule for a given city shows up in one view instead of scattered across separate platforms.

Business Agilität @CSS

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

Die CSS hat 2024 einen weiteren grossen Schritt auf ihrer Reise zur Business Agilität unternommen: Mit der Einführung von SAFe, sechs Agile Release Trains, einem agilen Portfolio sowie der Anpassung von Organisation, Budget und Strategie. Obwohl Scrum bereits seit 2014 in der Softwareentwicklung verankert ist, bedeutete dieser Wandel einen tiefgreifenden organisatorischen und kulturellen Schritt.
In dieser Session berichtet ein Mitglied des Transformationsteams, was in den letzten zwei Jahren im agilen Umfeld der CSS mit rund 500 Mitarbeitenden geschehen ist. Themen wie agile Führung, Zusammenspiel zwischen Team, ART und Portfolio, Kommunikation, Kulturwandel und Mindset-Change stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Lass dich auf die Reise mitnehmen — welche Herausforderungen haben wir gemeistert, wo sind wir gescheitert und welche Themen uns weiterhin beschäftigen.
Tauche mit Martin Ineichen in diese spannende Transformation ein. Ich freue mich auf viele Interessierte, einen offenen Austausch, viele Fragen und eine lebendige Diskussionen.

✱✱✱

Martin Ineichen, ist seit 12 Jahren im agilen Umfeld bei der CSS unterwegs. War mit Herzblut SM, konnte dies auch nie ganz ablegen. Vertritt agile Konzepte mit viel Enthusiasmus und gibt sein Wissen und seine Ansichten auch gerne weiter. Immer mit dem Ziel, ein besseres Arbeiten zu ermöglichen. Martin ist Mitorganisator des Agile Breakfast Luzern. In seiner Freizeit ist er ein Familienmensch mit einem grünen Daumen.
