Tech Events in Berlin

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.

On the conference side, the city hosts re:publica, Data Natives, AI Engineer Summit EU offshoots, a fleet of European KubeCon satellite events, and the annual Chaos Communication Congress in the winter. Startup and founder content runs in parallel across spaces like Factory, Betahaus, and the various accelerator-run venues, with Slush satellites and TechCrunch events passing through.

Unconference: Open Weights, Open Agents

Berlin, 🇩🇪 Germany

An evening where open agents meet open tabular models. This is a room for the people who build agents they own end-to-end: AI engineers building agentic systems and ML engineers building the models underneath them, together, at deepset's HQ in Berlin.
Powered by Haystack (open-source AI orchestration framework) and Prior Labs (creators of TabPFN, an open-weight foundation model for tabular data), the sessions are shaped by what you're actually building, your experience, and your challenges in assembling open agent stacks.

🎯 Open Weights, Open Agents

Agents have stopped being a single LLM that does everything. They now run inside a harness that manages the loop of reasoning and acting, decides which tool or model to call next, maintains memory and state across steps, and adds the observability and guardrails that make an agent trustworthy enough to ship. Haystack's orchestration turns a model into a reliable system and lets you compose specialized agents that hand off work to models best suited to the subtasks they're actually good at.

One of those subtasks is prediction on structured data: the kind of tabular problem that generative models are a poor fit for and where classical ML still wins. Prior Labs' TabPFN is a foundation model purpose-built for exactly that: trained once, it makes strong predictions on new tabular datasets without task-specific fine-tuning, and it ships as open weights, so you retain control of your agent all the way down to the models it calls.

Some example topics we'll discuss:

  • Why you need orchestration for your agent
  • Working with structured data in agentic systems
  • Agents that need to make grounded predictions
  • Benchmarking for tabular models: why LLM benchmarks don't apply, and why this gap exists
  • Agents and tool selection: when agents should hand off to TabPFN for prediction tasks
  • What "owning your stack end to end" actually requires in practice
  • Open-weight vs. closed models: what changes when you can inspect, fine-tune, or self-host the thing
👥 Who is This Event For?

This event is for builders and decision makers on both sides of the agent stack:

  • AI / agent engineers building agentic workflows running in production
  • ML engineers and data scientists working on structured data, tabular models, and prediction tasks
  • Product managers and tech leads
  • Founders and engineering managers
  • Innovation leads and decision makers exploring AI adoption

The goal is to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from others who are building or enabling real-world AI systems.

🧠 Unconference Event Format

This event follows the unconference format. We’ll form discussion groups based on topics you shared during registration, so the agenda reflects what matters most to you.

Bring your questions, share your learnings, or simply listen in and learn from others in the field.

Web talks at Mozilla

Berlin, 🇩🇪 Germany

Save the date! The Mozilla Meetup series continues with talks focused on modern web technologies.

To account for typical no-show rates, we’ve opened more RSVP spots than we can physically accommodate. Based on our last event, only about 36 of 100 registered participants (including Mozillians) attended in person. We will admit attendees on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to close the doors once we reach room capacity (around 50 people).

Note that this event operates under the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines.

18:00 - Doors open

18:30 - Intro to WebTransport - the next WebSocket?!

WebTransport is an upcoming protocol (standardized by the IETF) and Web API (standardized by the W3C) for bidirectional communication on the web. It provides multiplexed streams and unreliable datagrams on top of HTTP/3 and HTTP/2.

This talk explains how WebTransport works at the protocol level, how it maps to QUIC when run on top of HTTP/3, and how its capabilities differ from WebSocket. The session will also cover the current state of browser and server support, and where the ecosystem is heading next.

- https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/webtrans/about/
- https://www.w3.org/TR/webtransport/
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebTransport_API

About the speaker: Max is a software developer interested in networking, distributed systems and type theory. He works at Mozilla on Firefox's networking stack, focusing on HTTP3 and QUIC. Previously he was stewarding the peer-to-peer networking project libp2p, and before that the monitoring system Prometheus and its integration within the Kubernetes orchestrator.

19:30 - From Slow Page to Fast - Agentic Performance Profiling with Firefox

What if an AI agent could reproduce a performance issue, capture a Firefox performance profile, identify the root cause, and implement a fix? In this talk, I'll demonstrate an end-to-end workflow using Firefox DevTools MCP to interact with and profile a web application, and profiler-cli to analyze the captured profile. The agent will find performance bottlenecks, modify the application, and capture a new profile to verify the improvement. We'll see how agentic profiling can help web developers go from a slow page to a measurable, reviewable performance improvement.

About the speaker: Nazım Can Altınova is a software engineer on the Firefox Performance Tools team, working on the Firefox Profiler.

BEADS Kick-Off: Semantic Query Processing (or how to integrate LLMs into SQL)

Berlin, 🇩🇪 Germany

Join us on the 24th of September for the first BEADS tech meetup.
We're kicking things off with speakers from Snowflake, Databricks, and BIFOLD on semantic query processing, (integrating LLMs and AI functions into database queries) and AI governance.

Program:

Doors open at 18.00 and talks start at 18.30:

  • Stefan Grafberger (Snowflake) — Bridging Relational Engines and AI: Querying Unstructured Data with AI SQL
  • Sven Wagner-Boysen (Databricks) — AI Governance: Humans Have Judgment. Agents Don’t.
  • Olga Ovcharenko (BIFOLD) — SemBench: A Benchmark for Semantic Query Processing Engines

Networking and drinks to follow.

Details on the Talks and Speakers:

Bridging Relational Engines and AI: Querying Unstructured Data with AI SQL. The growth of large language models (LLMs) has transformed how organizations interact with data. Modern enterprises now store vast volumes of unstructured content, such as documents, images, audio, and video, alongside traditional structured tables. This talk explores some of the core concepts behind semantic query processing and how modern database architectures like Snowflake bridge the gap between relational execution engines and unstructured data analysis. As part of the SQL Datatypes team, we work on the FILE and VECTOR datatypes that make these capabilities possible. In this talk, we will examine how Snowflake approaches building our system for unstructured data querying at scale with AI SQL. We will also break down the mechanics of executing AI functions within standard SQL queries and review key query processing optimizations designed to make semantic operations fast and cost-effective.

Stefan Grafberger is a Software Engineer at Snowflake, working on improving unstructured data processing as a member of the SQL Datatypes team. Prior to Snowflake, he did his Ph.D. in data management for machine learning at the University of Amsterdam and BIFOLD / TU Berlin. He holds a Master's degree from TU Munich, where he also focused on database systems, and previously interned with Microsoft Gray Systems Lab, Amazon Research, and Oracle Labs. His research has been repeatedly published in top database venues like SIGMOD, VLDB, and CIDR, and received an ACM SIGMOD Best Demo Runner-Up Award. His code became part of systems like Snowflake, Umbra, and Deequ.

AI Governance: Humans Have Judgment. Agents Don’t. AI agents can reason, use tools, and take actions, but they cannot exercise human judgment or accept accountability. This talk shows how Unity Gateway can help organizations manage agent sprawl through agent identity, fine-grained access control, service policies, and secure reusable skills. We will explore why governance cannot simply be embedded in prompts, and how the platform can enforce guardrails, control costs, and traces activity across models, MCPs, and tools.

Sven Wagner-Boysen is a software engineer at Databricks in Berlin. He focuses on enforcing user isolation and data governance for shared compute environments. His work includes Lakeguard for Apache Spark clusters and Unity Gateway for securing AI assets like Models, MCPs, and Agents. He holds a Master’s degree in IT Systems Engineering from the Hasso Plattner Institute.

SemBench: A Benchmark for Semantic Query Processing Engines. A new generation of database systems lets users query data multi-modal data with large language models (LLMs), e.g., asking a database to find positive movie reviews or flag pictures of damaged cars. Semantic query processing engines embed LLMs directly into the query engine. Despite growing interest from academia and industry, no systematic way exists to test and compare them. We introduce SemBench (https://sembench.org) : a first semantic query processing benchmark that spans 55 queries across five realistic scenarios with text, image, and audio data. We evaluate research and industrial systems on cost, latency, and correctness, finding substantial differences across systems and define gaps in current capabilities that point to concrete directions for future work.

Olga Ovcharenko is a second-year Ph.D. student with the DEEM Lab at BIFOLD. Olga works on leveraging large language models for data management and machine learning problems. Olga holds a Data Science master's degree from ETH Zuerich, where her thesis focused on multi-modal single-cell data integration using self-supervised learning. Her interest in data science began during her undergraduate studies at Graz University of Technology, where, for her bachelor thesis, she built a distributed data generator to scale real datasets while preserving the statistical properties and error distribution of the original data. Olga is also a PMC member of Apache SystemDS.

One Pipeline, Any Device: Swap the Reader, Not the Pipeline

Every new robot, camera, or sensor vendor in physical AI usually means rebuilding the data pipeline from scratch, even though the features you actually need, a calibrated frame, a fused object distance, stay the same. This talk demos mloda, an open-source Python framework where a feature pipeline is written once, and only the reader plugin, the small piece that knows how to read one specific device's raw format, ever changes.

Live, using two small synthetic datasets shaped like two different devices' raw output (no hardware involved), I run the same pipeline against both, swapping only the reader plugin, and show the calibration, fusion, and feature extraction steps running unmodified on either. I also show OpenTelemetry lineage tracing, so when a feature looks wrong, you can trace it straight back to the raw reading that produced it, regardless of which device it came from.

The point: stop rebuilding your data pipeline for every new device, reuse it.

About the Speaker

Tom Kaltofen is a Berlin-based data and AI engineer and the creator of mloda, an open-source (Apache-2.0) Python framework for declarative, plugin-based data access in AI workflows.

Toward the best ROI: choosing algorithms for AI-powered workstations

Robots are becoming smarter and more affordable—but which automation projects actually deliver a return on investment? Drawing on RemBrain’s real-world experience across delivery, retail, construction, and manufacturing, this presentation reveals why many promising robotics concepts fail to become viable products.

It introduces a practical, skill-based approach to flexible automation and shows how compact AI-powered workstations can achieve payback in as little as 6–12 months. The talk also explores where Vision-Language-Action models create genuine value—and where simpler, proven technologies remain more effective.

Honest, numbers-driven discussion with an algorithm focus.

About the Speaker

Anton Maltsev Started working with Computer Vision in 2010. From 2017 to 2022, I was Head of ML at Cherry Labs, which was acquired by Artisight. Now CSO at Rembrain.

Building Real-World Computer Vision Systems

This talk will explore practical workflows for building, evaluating, and improving modern computer vision systems. We'll dive into real-world approaches to dataset curation, model analysis, multimodal AI workflows, and production-ready vision pipelines using open-source technologies.
The session is designed for engineers, researchers, and AI practitioners looking to better understand how teams are developing and scaling computer vision applications today. Expect practical demos, technical insights, and discussions around the evolving AI tooling ecosystem.

About the Speaker

Dan Gural leads technical partnerships at Voxel51, where he's building the Physical AI Workbench, a platform that connects real-world sensor data with realistic simulation to help engineers better understand, validate, and improve their perception systems.

Beyond Proof-of-Concept Prison: Who Owns What We Ship?

In a proof of concept, AI is a feature. In production, it becomes infrastructure. The impressive demo is the easy part. Shipping it means confronting everything the prototype was allowed to ignore: maintenance, integration, failure, accountability, cost, and the people whose work will be reorganized around the system.
Organizations often treat Proof-of-Concept Prison as a technical problem. But many prototypes remain prototypes because nobody has made the decisions a real product requires. Ownership stays vague, budgets remain temporary, and delivery teams inherit risks they do not have the authority to resolve. The organization wants innovation, but hesitates when innovation demands lasting responsibility.
Yet assigning a product owner does not settle the deeper question of ownership. Who owns the models, infrastructure, data and knowledge the product depends on? Who gains control when work is moved into systems operated by a handful of vendors? Who captures the productivity gains, and who carries the social and environmental costs? A system can be technically robust, operationally mature and commercially successful while still making its users more dependent and concentrating power elsewhere.
This talk connects the practical challenge of escaping Proof-of-Concept Prison with the politics of putting AI into production. Because shipping is never merely the moment a prototype becomes a product. It is the moment technical choices become organizational dependencies, working conditions and power relations. The question is not only whether we can ship it, but what, and whose, system we strengthen when we do.
