Tech Events in Copenhagen

AI is everywhere, while impact isn’t. We’ve moved fast — LLMs, copilots, agents — but many organizations are still asking the same question:

Why isn’t this driving real business impact?

This panel is not about what AI could do. It’s about what’s actually happening inside teams today:

• The gap between investment and outcomes
• The human side of adoption we don’t talk about
• The pressure to adopt fast — and what it takes to make it stick

Join us for a candid conversation lead by Monique Marins, AI & Data Leader at Trustpilot, on what it really takes to go from AI hype to real business impact.

We’re bringing together an incredible panel of women in tech — each with hands-on experience across data, product, digital experience, and communication:

• Sara Mehrabi, VP Data, Analytics & Decision Intelligence
@ COWI
• Cecilia Fernandez, Product Manager Experience @ Mastercard
• Larisa Andrei, Director Digital Experience & Applications @ 3Shape

There will be time for networking, shared experiences, and practical tools to take with you.

Come curious. Leave inspired and connected.

SETUP FOR THE DAY:
Panel discussion and the focus on small group conversations to enable personal and professional relationships to evolve from this community meeting.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

1. Ask for the area reserved for “TechWomen”.
2. Take a seat at one of the reserved tables.
3. Order and pay for your choice of beverage/snack at the counter.
4. Get back to your table.

Klaus Bucka-Lassen: An agile advisor and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their agile processes.

Lars Kruse: A Continuous Delivery and DevOps evangelist and consultant with 25+ years experience with helping organizations streamline their SDLC processes.

For 25 years we've been preaching the basic principles of Agile and DevOps to teams, colleagues and clients. Both Agile and DevOps have been declared DEAD many times. But now it's apparently un-dead (pun intended🤷‍♂️), as Agentic AI matures by the hour — a whole new breed of code contributors are entering the stage.

And they get EXACTLY what it's about: Agentic AI may just be the the best Agile and most DevOpsy team mates one could dream of.

What could possibly go wrong now?

You are hereby invited to a short intro (roughly 30 mins, expect slightly provocative and opinionated content — something that old men are still way better at than AI) followed by a facilitated lean coffee discussion on an apocaloptimistic perspective on:

"What the heck is going on in Agile and DevOps Right Now"

The venue is a bar 🍻 - so do not expect anything other than lively discussions with peers.

We're kicked out of the Workbar at 19:00 by the latest, but if the sentiment is right we may continue on to somewhere else and grab a bite after.

- Cheers!

Copenhagen Fintech Startup Open House

We're opening our doors to the public on Tuesday, 19 May from 16:00 CET. If you are curious about fintech, thinking about building something, or already running a startup that wants to engage with the Danish fintech ecosystem, come meet us.

A lot of builders and teams only ever encounter Copenhagen Fintech second hand. This event is the direct version: meet the team, understand what we actually do, and figure out whether there's a fit... whether you're pre-revenue or already scaling.

You should come if you are:

• Curious about fintech and considering starting a company
• An early stage founder - pre-revenue included - who wants to understand what support looks like before you're ready for formal membership
• A founder looking to partner with banks or financial institutions
• A team that's been on the edge of our ecosystem and hasn't yet found the right moment to step in

Program

16:00 Welcome and arrival

16:30 –17:30 Short sessions covering:

• What Copenhagen Fintech membership means, and how to join
• How we support founders through our activities and when in your journey is it worth applying or tapping into
• Why founders choose Copenhagen Fintech Lab as a base
• How Nordic Fintech Center (our R&D arm) works with university partners (KU, CBS, DTU and AU) and where entrepreneurs fit in
• Nordic Fintech Week and how startups play a role here

Welcome to another exciting evening of NixOS!
If there are no speakers, we just hold a regular hack evening.
Room: Kantine, 1. Sal, PASCAL*

Interested in NixOS? Maybe only its package manager Nix? Want to share how you (ab)use Nix(OS) in your own company? Join this NixOS user group meet-up!
Topic will be announced.
Why NixOS?
NixOS The Purely Functional Linux Distribution
NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager ( nixos.org/nix ), it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages ( nixos.org/nixos/about.html ).
Declarative
NixOS has a completely declarative approach to configuration management: you write a specification of the desired configuration of your system in NixOS’s modular language, and NixOS takes care of making it happen.
Reliable
NixOS has atomic upgrades and rollbacks. It’s always safe to try an upgrade or configuration change: if things go wrong, you can always roll back to the previous configuration.
Come join us for a cosy night of Nix(OS). There will be pizza, kindly sponsored by PROSA

Join us in the next AZUG meetup and learn how to tune your cloud database.

Hands‑on tutorial on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server parameter tuning
PostgreSQL exposes hundreds of configuration parameters, but only a few dozen truly determine performance and resource efficiency. Tuning them correctly is notoriously difficult due to complex interactions and workload‑specific behavior. Traditional approaches—manual tuning or generic rule‑based tools—often fall short.

In this practical workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of server parameter tuning and get hands‑on experience using heuristics‑based open‑source tools such as PGtune to achieve meaningful performance improvements. We'll explore which parameters matter most, how PGtune's heuristics work, and why they influence performance.

The session concludes with an introduction to DBtune
Community Edition , an AI‑powered agentic tuning engine that blends heuristic rules with modern AI and ML techniques to deliver smarter, workload‑aware optimization.

Prerequisites: Bring your own laptop with a command‑line shell (eg, PowerShell). If you are using a company laptop, please whitelist ** [http://app.dbtune.com%2A%2A./]app.dbtune.com**.

About our Speaker:
Dr. Luigi Nardi is the founder and CEO of DBtune, a leading company driving advancements in AI, database systems, and cloud computing. Previously an associate professor of AI at Lund University and a research staff at Stanford University, Luigi's expertise centers around Bayesian methods and optimization theory and practice. Luigi's journey includes a post-doctoral position at Imperial College London and a role as a software engineer at Murex, following his Ph.D. program in applied mathematics at Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in 2011. Luigi is a public speaker and prolific researcher, having co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed papers at leading venues in machine learning and computer science.

Talk by Claes Worm

tatr is a new tool written in OCaml for recursively traversing file-hierarchies and finding all indented trees of text that match your queries. Its design tries to be simple, powerful, elegant and general.

A common action on the CLI is to search for all the files within some directory that contain a specific regular expression - e.g. using a mix of find and grep or tools that do both like ripgrep. These tools only match on lines, not on “sets of lines” or “related lines” or “trees of indented text” - tatr does this and filters the trees to only show the parts you are interested in.

What formats can you query? Anything that contains lines of text that are related to each-other based on indentation. E.g.:

• bullet-point based notes like markdown, wiki, org-mode or plain text
• notes with tags
• code that contains comments
• structured configuration-formats like json, sexp, etc.

When used with your notes; you suddenly get the opportunity to not only structure your notes by linking pages in a graph or tree - but also by tagging and logically relating “verbal arguments” via indentation.

As usual, there's mingling at the local bar after the talk.
