Navigating Intelligence – From Geo AI to Agent Orchestration

A curated evening exploring how navigation evolves when AI systems move through physical space and orchestrate multi‑agent decision‑making. **Event Purpose** A high‑impact gathering that connects geo‑location intelligence, AI navigation systems, and agent‑based orchestration. The goal is to show how navigation becomes a strategic capability—both in the real world and within complex AI ecosystems. **Event Timeline (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM)** 6:00 – 6:30 PM \| Registration & ArrivalGuests arrive\, grab a drink\, and explore a short exchange on AI navigation and agent orchestration\. **6:30 – 6:40 PM \| Opening Remarks** ***[Katarzyna (Kasia) Stoltmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-kasia-stoltmann-6b7656116/?isSelfProfile=false), Women in Big Data Berlin:*** A welcome emphasizing inclusion, visibility, and leadership in AI. ***[Ach (Astghik) Petrosyan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ach9er/?isSelfProfile=false), Bettermile:*** A short statement on why navigation—physical and computational—is becoming a defining capability for modern AI systems. **6:45 – 7:00 PM \| Keynotes** ***Keynote 1 – [Claudia Stangarone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-stangarone/?isSelfProfile=false):*** Geo‑Location Navigation with AI A deep dive into how AI systems interpret spatial data, optimize routes, and adapt to dynamic environments.

Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

Binge Eating and Bulimia Recovery – Women Support Group in Berlin

Hey, I’m Annabelle, and I’m a recovering bulimic. I struggled with bulimia for 15 years, and I’ve always wished there was a space where I could talk about it openly, without judgment, without shame, just honesty, support, and people who *get it*. People who are also on this journey. People who want to heal and figure out who they are beyond bulimia. So, I decided to create that space. **What is this group about** * A space where you can talk about your **binge eating or bulimia** without feeling judged. * A space to reconnect with yourself — the *you* that exists beyond the eating disorder. * A space for support and real connection with people who are going through (or have been through) the same thing. * A place to share your wins *and* your hard days, and be met with encouragement and support. **What to expect** * Journaling prompts, discussions, games, readings from ED-related literature, meditations, and more. * Deeper conversations — not just about the ED, but about who you are underneath it all. **Who is this for?** * **This group is open to women who are struggling with binge eating or bulimia and *want to recover.*** **What this *isn't*** * This is not therapy. I’m not a therapist and won’t be giving advice on nutrition, exercise, or anything medical. * This is not a place to talk about numbers, weight, calories, or daily food habits. * This is not a place to give unsolicited advice. If someone asks for support, great — but advice will only be shared if it’s asked for. * This is *definitely* not a space that promotes or glorifies eating disorders. **A bit about me** I’m 33, I live in Berlin, and I have a very eclectic taste in music — but I always come back to Nightwish. When I’m not reading memoirs or self-help books, you’ll usually find me looking for a new café around the city or walking in the forest or a park. Some of my favorite podcasts include *The Rich Roll Podcast*, *How I Built This*, *We Can Do Hard Things*, and *The School of Greatness.* I’m a certified life coach, and I’m passionate about guiding people to unlock their own truth and remove the mental blocks that hold them back from pursuing their purpose. Right now, I’m writing a weekly blog called *Life Beyond Bulimia*, which you can find on my Substack. **Before you sign up** While the space is kindly provided to us for free, we are asked to contribute 1€ per person per meeting (including myself). To make sure everyone is heard, the meetings will be limited to 10 people at a time. Can’t wait to meet you! Until then, know that you are stronger than you think. 🌹 Annabelle

AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality? | Berlin Meetup

**14th Berlin Meetup – AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?** AI is accelerating testing, but faster testing does not automatically mean better quality. As AI becomes part of the testing process, what happens to the role of QA, and who remains accountable for the quality of the product? At The Test Tribe’s 14th Berlin Meetup, Lilit Gyulbenkyan will explore why human judgment, risk management, and quality ownership remain essential in an AI-driven testing landscape. **Session - AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?** **Speaker: [Lilit Gyulbenkyan, Head of the Software Quality Management Department at the Central Bank of Armenia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilygyulbenkyan)** With over 15 years of leadership experience across software quality management, product ownership, project delivery, and digital transformation, Lilit brings a governance-focused perspective to the evolving role of QA. The session will explore how AI is changing testing practices while introducing new quality risks, and why QA must evolve beyond test execution to take greater ownership of quality, risk, and responsible AI adoption. The session will cover: * AI and Quality: Why accelerating testing does not automatically guarantee product quality * Emerging Risks: Understanding risks such as false confidence in AI-generated outputs and test results * The Evolving Role of QA: Moving beyond test execution towards quality ownership and risk management * AI Governance: Maintaining human judgment, accountability, and responsible AI adoption throughout the quality lifecycle **Event Details** * Date: 27 October 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM CET * Venue: SumUp Office, Berlin **Agenda** * 6:00 PM – 6:15 PM: Welcome & Introductions * 6:15 PM – 7:15 PM: Speaker Session by Lilit Gyulbenkyan on “AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality?”, including Q&A * 7:15 PM – 8:00 PM: Networking over snacks * 8:00 PM: Event Wrap The evening will also offer an opportunity to exchange perspectives with fellow QA and Engineering professionals on how teams can maintain quality, manage risk, and build trust as AI becomes more deeply embedded in software delivery. **About The Test Tribe** The Test Tribe is the world's largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018.
