From Berlin FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimization
4.7

Hello, We're back after the summer with another session, and again with our special guest Shahar, who this time points the FinOps lens at AI spend. Blocks is hosting us again in Charlottenburg and will provide drinks and snacks, and as usual there will be plenty of time afterwards to catch up with the rest of the Berlin FinOps community. Looking forward to see you all again! -Cristian and Sascha, the meetup group admins. **Timeline** * **18:30** \- Doors open * **19:00** \- Opening words and introductions * **19:15** \- Talk: Nobody Wants to Ask If the AI Is Working Most leadership teams have not asked out loud whether their AI investment is actually working, because in a year when nobody wants to be the person slowing AI down, the question is uncomfortable to raise. FinOps has answered a question of this shape before, and did it without approval gates, but the cloud playbook does not transfer intact: cloud governance assumed a few hundred engineers who understood what they were provisioning, while AI is consumed by everyone, in a currency almost none of them can price. FinOps also measures cost and efficiency, not adoption and not value, which is exactly where the question lives. This session covers what is missing, and the claim FinOps is entitled to make. Speaker: Shahar Raz, Raz Tech Strategy. Shahar spent thirty years in technology, including as a CTO and in executive management, and now advises CFOs, CTOs and COOs independently, with nothing to sell them but the answer. * **20:15** \- Networking **Help us for the next events** Host us at your company sometime in the future - [Register Here as a host](https://forms.gle/J72QEwhFnNCJ2xJJA) Propose a talk idea (may be delivered by someone else) [Submit talk ideas here](https://forms.gle/MxCtxqsc6PnCod5s9)

[face to face] professional communication exercise

Sun, Aug 30, 11:00 AM
From Berlin Software Designers
4.7

Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park. 💡 How it works The event is split into two parts: 1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question. 2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. 💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park

Berlin Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience

Sat, Sep 12, 6:00 AM
From Singles Events in the UK & Europe | Conscious Connections
4.1

# Tired of dating apps culture and surface-level? This is different. And people often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real again. Free to RSVP, 👉 $59 to confirm your spot [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/stayconnected](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing.
