Tech Events in Zurich

Zurich sustains one of the most research-dense tech-event calendars in Europe, anchored by ETH Zurich and the broader Swiss research ecosystem. ML-research, systems, and programming-languages communities are particularly strong. This is one of the places in Europe where compiler, distributed-systems, and cryptography research still has a community event presence in the form of guild nights, reading groups, and visiting-speaker series.

Beyond the research corner, there's a solid calendar around data engineering, DevOps, and finance-and-insurance tech reflecting the city's industries. Google's Zurich office hosts a steady drumbeat of developer events, as do the local chapters of most major open-source communities.

Tech Leadership Circle: Leading Teams through AI Transformation

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

The hardest part of AI transformation isn't the technology. It's the humans. Join other tech leaders for an honest reckoning.

Everyone's talking tools, timelines, ROI. Almost no one is talking about what it actually feels like to lead a team through AI-driven change. The fear underneath "just implement it." The resistance you can't quite name. The quiet sense that the deal between employer and employee is being rewritten — while everyone pretends it's business as usual.

This Tech Leadership Circle is for leaders looking to bridge that gap.

We're bringing tech leaders together to look honestly at how AI is reshaping organisations from the inside — workflows, roles, culture, trust.

Three senior tech leaders join our panel to share what's worked, and what hasn't, as they've navigated their own teams through AI-driven change:

  • Marco-Andrea Buchmann, Head of Applied Science at Zalando
  • Dr. Maria Fay, Business AI Strategy Lead Switzerland at SAP
  • Irina Wolf, Team Lead Hardware at Wingtra

There will be a chance to bring your questions to the panel and have them answered by the experts. Come curious and leave with new insights.

Agenda

17:45 - Doors open

18:00 - Intro and welcome by Hello 50:50 World

18:05 - Panel discussion and Q&A

18:50 - Conclusions and final remarks

19:00 - Networking & Apéro

20:15 - End

Who should join?

Mid-level tech leaders and managers - Team Leads, Tech Leads, (Senior) Managers, Product Managers, People Managers, Department Heads - anyone guiding their team through AI-driven change who wants to do it thoughtfully, not just quickly.

Code of Conduct

We aspire to create a safe space for everyone. Attendees are asked to respect our Code of Conduct.

Please be aware that we will take pictures during the event which can be published on our website and social media channels and can be reused for marketing purposes at a later stage. If you do not want your pictures to be used, please contact our team during the event.

The Caretaker Model & Has SRE Become the New Ops?

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

Two thought-provoking talks on team ownership and the evolving role of operations, two experienced speakers from the Swiss DevOps community, and plenty of networking opportunity. We are very much looking forward to kicking off the autumn season of DevOps Meetup Zurich.
Here's what's planned for the evening:
17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks
18:00 - 18:45 - The Caretaker Model: Take over responsibility from idea to feedback by Urs Enzler
18:45 - 19:30 - Has SRE Become a New Ops? by Oleg Mayko
19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks*

The Caretaker Model: Take over responsibility from idea to feedback
The Agile Software Development Manifesto calls for finding better ways to develop software.
We left Scrum behind because, among other things, we learned faster than the sprint was long, and the sprint blocked us more than it supported us. We needed a more adaptive approach that focuses on feedback.

We found a way of working that better supports us by separating the cycles for planning, improvement, retrospectives, delivery, and feedback. And the opportunity for every team member to contribute from start to finish has greatly increased team motivation. Finally, focusing on flow allowed us to reduce synchronisation points, such as meetings and handovers, and to gain significant efficiency. This is the Caretaker Model.

In this presentation, I explain how the Caretaker Model works, why it suits us much better, and why it might suit you and your team as well.

Urs Enzler
Software Architect @ Calitime AG
Urs Enzler is a software architect and developer specialising in the .NET platform and Azure. Passionate about building products with a rapid and continuous feedback cycle, he embraces agile principles and continuous delivery. In addition to working on the TimeRocket time tracking product, he is a consultant on software architecture and technical aspects of continuous delivery teamwork, such as evolvable design, test-driven development, and the like. Beyond his work, Urs co-organises the .Net Usergroup Zentralschweiz and shares his insights on www.planetgeek.ch.

Has SRE Become a New Ops?
Google set the bar high, but we have seen in the industry that SRE practices have often been misused, and many organizations just rebrand DevOps teams into SRE teams. In this talk, Oleg briefly walks through the history of SRE, why many have seen a silver bullet in it, and possible causes why many people think that SRE is just modern Ops.

Oleg Mayko
Senior System Engineer @ Swisscom

Startup Pitch & Themed Networking Zurich | Unlock Your Idea

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

You've been workshopping your idea with ChatGPT, not real founders. We fix that. Themed tables, 5 live pitches, one Zurich room - 3 hours

Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper.

Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work.

We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables.

How the evening runs (3 stages)

Stage 1 — Themed Networking

You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem.

Stage 2 — Pitches

5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network.

Stage 3 — Chill & Network

The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands.

Who's in the room

  • Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from Zurich-based and EU-wide programs
  • Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates
  • Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech
  • Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups
  • Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point
  • Founders traveling through Zurich — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes
  • Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams

About Ascent Valley

Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors.

Philosophy: IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.

Debugging the Human Layer & Guerilla InnerSource in the AI Hype

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

Two complementary perspectives on engineering culture and the way we work together. Two experienced speakers and plenty of networking opportunity. We are very much looking forward to the next DevOps Meetup Zurich.
Here's what's planned for the evening:
17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks
18:00 - 18:45 - Debugging the Human Layer: Applying Systems Thinking to Team Dynamics by Ashwin Krishnan
18:45 - 19:30 - Guerilla InnerSource in Enterprises, During the AI Hype by Oleg Nenashev
19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks*

Debugging the Human Layer: Applying Systems Thinking to Team Dynamics
In DevOps, we obsess over the "Three Ways": Flow, Feedback, and Continuous Learning. We build robust CI/CD pipelines and automated testing to eliminate technical friction, yet we often ignore the most volatile component in our architecture: the humans.
This session explores how personality and team dynamics assessments function as "telemetry" for your human systems. By understanding the underlying "code" of our team members—their communication protocols, stress-response thresholds, and cognitive biases—we can move from accidental collaboration to intentional high-performance.
I will present a few personality assessments I have used personally, as well as with my teams (no brand endorsements), that the audience can consider to use to get a better understanding of themselves.

Ashwin Krishnan
Innovator, Board Advisor, Change Catalyst
Ashwin Krishnan is a highly accomplished CxO & Board Advisor with over 23 years of experience driving large-scale digital transformation and delivering significant business impact. His expertise lies in translating complex technologies like AI, Cloud, and Industry 4.0 into practical business solutions. Ashwin has a proven track record of leading large, global teams with empathy and empowerment, fostering a culture of excellence, and is passionate about team culture. He possesses a multi-cultural, multilingual, and multi-domain skill set, having advised CxOs in financial services, telecom, and manufacturing across Europe, the US, and APAC. His entrepreneurial leadership is demonstrated through his founding of wealthQUAY, a cloud-based Wealth Management-as-a-Service venture within Cognizant, as well as heading Disruptive Innovation at Orange Business. He holds an embaX from ETH Zürich & HSG St. Gallen and a B.E. in Computer Engineering.

Guerilla InnerSource in Enterprises, During the AI Hype
Many developers want to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and developer productivity, especially when those developers are their own colleagues. But do their companies really care? Despite the endless DevOps and developer productivity slidedecks, not everyone has a strategy beyond "let's form another task force" or "let's have another weekly meeting" from management. Can a single engineer actually introduce InnerSource and change how work gets done in a big enterprise? Maybe! Can they burn out in the process? Well, let's talk.

We'll discuss introducing an open collaboration culture, also known as InnerSource, inside rigid corporate structures that are not willing to change. The ongoing AI hype can be a great leverage, an excuse to form internal guilds, secure funding, and get executive attention for collaboration and productivity initiatives. How to get started without a budget or official blessing from higher ups? How to find allies and not burn too many bridges? And how to show impact when everyone is obsessed with KPIs?

Oleg Nenashev
Serial Community Builder, Independent Consultant
Oleg is a developer tools hacker, community builder, and DevRel consultant. He is a passionate open source software, open ecosystems, and open hardware advocate. Oleg is a core maintainer and ex-board member in the Jenkins project. He is a CNCF ambassador, Testcontainers Champion, GSoC mentor, and a former CDF TOC Chair.

Who gets to shape the future of technology?

Many highly skilled tech professionals with a migration or refugee background bring valuable expertise, international experience, and fresh perspectives to Switzerland. Yet too often, they face barriers such as limited local networks, unfamiliar hiring practices, and a rapidly changing job market shaped by AI.

Dare to Shape Tech 2026 brings together migrant and refugee tech professionals, employers, mentors, and community organizations to explore how international talent can thrive—and help shape the future of technology in Zurich.

During the evening, we'll discuss career opportunities in the age of AI, building professional networks, the value of diverse perspectives in innovation, and how companies can better attract and support international talent.

  • You believe that better technology is built by diverse teams with different perspectives.
  • You care about making Zurich's innovation ecosystem more inclusive and future-ready.

This event is open to all genders and we encourage especially men and leaders in tech to attend and learn about the experiences of migrants in tech.
