Pipelines, Privacy & the Collector Fleet: Real-Time Data Done Right

Join us for an evening with two talks, one theme: data flowing at scale — and handling it responsibly. From architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector fleet across edge-to-gateway topologies, to protecting PII in real-time Kafka pipelines — practical patterns, live demos, and a few privacy war stories along the way. Food and drinks on us — stick around after for networking. ✍️ RSVP soon — capacity is limited! 📅 **Date and Time** Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 18:00-20:45 📍 **Location** [EBCONT office, beyond Quartier Heidestrasse, 34, 10557 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aQGPgteqhQ2yrmx96) 📝 **Agenda** 18:00 – Doors open, arrivals and check-in 18:20 – Welcome note by EBCONT 18:30 – **Keeping data private in real-time pipelines** by [Olena Kutsenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olenakutsenko/), Confluent *Real-time data — clicks, payments, messages — is full of personal information we're not supposed to leak. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time?* *We'll explore practical privacy protection patterns in streaming systems using Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg — from masking and tokenizing PII, to why "anonymous" data often isn't, to techniques like k-anonymity and noise injection. With real-world deanonymization stories and live demos included.* 19:00 – Q&A & quick break 19:15 – **From Edge to Gateway: architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector deployment** by [Marcin "Perk" Stożek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/perk-marcin-stozek/), Elastic *As OpenTelemetry adoption scales, the Collector becomes your observability backbone — but deploying it effectively means knowing what to run and where.* *We'll cover the full Collector fleet lifecycle: demystifying binaries (standard, EDOT, and custom OCB builds), mapping deployment topologies from edge agents to centralized gateways, and tackling fleet management at scale — from static configs to dynamic orchestration with OpAMP.* 19:45 – Pizza, drinks & networking \*\*\* Invite your friends and join us for an evening of learning and networking with fellow engineers and speakers! Thank you to **EBCONT** for hosting us!

Wir freuen uns auf dich!**

How to Build AI Products for a Changing Market

Every bet you make in AI has a shelf life measured in months, not years. What you’re right about today, you may have to rethink by next quarter. ​For our **first community meetup at [Superhuman](https://superhuman.com/)'s new Berlin hub at Das Center**, we’re excited to welcome Ailian Gan, Head of Agents at Superhuman, to share what she’s learned from building AI products in a market that keeps changing. **✅ To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/uiiujjn1 ​💬 **About the talk** ​Building AI products means getting comfortable with change. New capabilities emerge, user expectations shift, and the assumptions behind your roadmap don’t stay true for long. ​Superhuman knows this firsthand. The company has grown from Grammarly’s AI writing assistant into a multi-product suite of apps and agents for productivity—all in a market that continues to evolve. Drawing on her experience building AI products at Superhuman, Ailian will share how she thinks about **spotting emerging user needs, deciding when to build before the opportunity is obvious, and using what you learn after launch to decide what comes next.** ​It’s about learning to build this way on purpose—making product decisions when the signals are incomplete, opinions compete, and understanding that what works today may not work tomorrow. 🎙️ **About the speaker:** **[Ailian Gan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ailiangan/?utm_source=luma)** i*s Head of Agents at Superhuman. She leads teams building proactive AI agents that work across millions of apps and websites, helping people write, plan, research, organize, and move work forward. Ailian has deep product experience building AI-powered products for communication and productivity. She is also a founding board member of Women Defining AI, a nonprofit focused on closing the gender gap in AI through community-based learning. Originally from Singapore, Ailian spent more than a decade in Silicon Valley before recently relocating to Berlin.* ⏱️ **Agenda** ​**18:00–18:30** — Doors open \| Drinks and light bites **18:30–19:30** — Talk and Q&A with Ailian Gan **19:30–20:30** — Food, drinks, and networking 👋 **Registration and attendance** This meetup is designed for **experienced product managers, engineers, and engineering leaders interested in building AI products** in a fast-changing market. Capacity is limited, and confirmations will be prioritized for professionals with relevant experience in this area. **✅ To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/uiiujjn1 Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered. 📍 **Location** ​We’ll meet at Superhuman’s new Berlin hub at Das Center, Potsdamer Platz. Once a cinema in the former Sony Center, the space has been transformed into a modern hub for AI development. It’s also opening its doors for meetups and events, bringing people from Berlin’s tech community together to exchange ideas and connect.

How is AI changing the world beyond software?

After 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!
