We’ll examine what burnout is, look closely at systemic factors and the subtle drivers that push us into chronic stress, as well as the psychological patterns that keep us stuck there. Together, we’ll dive into actionable strategies to break these stress cycles, reclaim our energy, and cultivate lasting balance in both our professional and personal lives. **Aga Gałaj** Aga is an ECA-certified systemic coach, mentor, and psychologist dedicated to guiding people toward sustainable well-being and career fulfillment.

Aga brings a holistic approach to human development, she’s currently in her final year of training as a Biodanza Facilitator, growing her passion to help others lead vibrant, balanced lives. **The art of perspective: how systemic awareness can help transform your work and life** In today’s fast-moving world, clarity and resilience come from \*how\* you see things not just \*what\* you do. This session introduces systemic awareness: understanding our challenges through four “flight levels”: cultural, structural, relational, and individual. Drawing on systems theory and neuroscience, we'll explore how these perspectives can help navigate complexity, make better decisions, and create meaningful change in both professional and personal life. **Liz Engel** Systemic Coach at Regenerative Mind 📍**About DigitalService** DigitalService is a wholly owned subsidiary of the German federal government and an internal digitalization partner to the country’s public administration.

Obviously most will be healthcare IT, digital health, pharmaceuticals solutions. **This is an open Show & Tell.** If you are building, experimenting, or simply trying something cool in this space, **contact me and get yourself onto the agenda.** It doesn’t have to be perfect nor a finished product. MVP, prototype, an experiment that failed but taught you something is absolutely welcome. **Agenda**: Daniel Yasman, Prashant Singh / Bayer AG Kyriaki Forfoli / Bayer AG - Experimenting with Local LLMs Anil Savci / Bayer AG Finn Rössler / Bayer AG Joshua Nockel-Steckmann / Bayer AG Chriastopher Bläsing / Bayer AG Nisha Daniel / Bayer AG - LLM + RStudio = App Development Refreshments will be provided.
AI Is Challenging Testing, But What About Quality? | Berlin Meetup
Tue, Oct 27, 5:00 PM**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.

How is AI changing the world beyond software?
Thu, Oct 22, 4:30 PMAfter a too long break, it's time to get together again. And the next meetup topic is: **"How is AI changing the world beyond software?"** We, *software* product builders, deal with AI every day in our product work. We can imagine where things are heading in the our *software* building world, but what about the rest of the world? Healthcare, education, logistics, the arts? What's actually shifting out there? To keep it real, I'd love each of you to bring a guest who does NOT work in tech or software. A teacher, a doctor, an architect, a chef... anyone with a perspective from outside our bubble. More details coming soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again!
myProtectify Community Event – Berlin 1.0
Thu, Oct 22, 4:00 PM**Kennenlernen, Austauschen & Armbänder gestalten** Lust auf neue Begegnungen, echte Gespräche und einen kreativen Abend in Berlin? Dann komm zu unserem ersten myProtectify Community Event — du musst uns dafür noch nicht kennen! **myProtectify ist eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die sich gegen Gewalt in Beziehungen einsetzt.** Wir möchten frühe Warnzeichen sichtbarer machen, Unterstützung leichter zugänglich machen und Gespräche über gesunde Beziehungen und persönliche Grenzen fördern. An diesem Abend möchten wir vor allem Menschen zusammenbringen: zum Kennenlernen, Austauschen und gemeinsamen Kreativsein. **Was dich erwartet** In einer kleinen, gemütlichen Runde gestalten wir Armbänder und kommen miteinander ins Gespräch — über das, was euch beschäftigt, oder einfach über den Alltag. Du brauchst keine kreativen Vorkenntnisse und musst keine persönlichen Erfahrungen teilen. Auch einfach zuzuhören und einen entspannten Abend zu verbringen, ist völlig okay. Unser Team ist dabei und freut sich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Im Mittelpunkt steht aber das Miteinander — kein Vortrag und kein Anspruch auf Pinterest-Perfektion. ✨ * **Inklusive:** ein alkoholfreies Getränk deiner Wahl und alle Materialien für die Armbänder * **Maximal 15 Plätze:** eine kleine Runde mit Raum für persönliche Begegnungen * **Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig:** weder über myProtectify noch fürs Armbändergestalten **Für wen ist der Abend?** Für alle, die Lust auf Gemeinschaft haben und unsere Werte eines respektvollen, achtsamen Miteinanders teilen. Ob dich Themen wie Beziehungen und Grenzen persönlich beschäftigen, du andere unterstützen möchtest oder einfach neugierig bist: Du bist willkommen. **Unser Miteinander** Damit sich alle wohlfühlen können, gelten ein paar klare Grundsätze: * Kein Druck: Du entscheidest selbst, was du erzählen möchtest und ob du mitmachst, zuhörst oder eine Pause brauchst. * Respekt für Grenzen: Wir begegnen einander ohne Bewertung und geben keine ungefragten Ratschläge. * Vertraulichkeit: Persönliche Geschichten bleiben im Raum. * Keine Diskriminierung: Sexistisches, rassistisches, queerfeindliches oder anderes übergriffiges Verhalten hat keinen Platz. **Komm so, wie du bist. Wir freuen uns auf dich!**
