AI Operations: Streamlining Daily Operations with AI and Automation

As AI moves from experimentation into real-world production, developers and engineering teams are facing new challenges: How do we monitor AI-powered applications? How do we understand their performance? How can AI and automation streamline everyday engineering and operational workflows?This meetup brings together developers, AI engineers, cloud engineers, and technology enthusiasts for practical technical talks and real-world insights. Expect technical presentations, practical examples, AI/automation use cases, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the Berlin developer community.Whether you're already building with AI or just exploring how AI is changing modern engineering, this event is for you. 📍 EVENT DETAILS• Location: Turbine Kreuzberg, Berlin• Date: Wednesday, September 23, 2026• Time: 18:00 – 21:00• Format: In-person 🚨  IMPORTANT 🚨• Entry is first-come, first-served — arriving early is recommended 🎤 AGENDA 18:00 – 18:30 — Doors Open & Networking Get settled, meet fellow developers, grab a drink, and connect with the community. 18:30 – 18:40 — GDG Berlin Welcome Introduction to the event, speakers, partners, and evening agenda. 18:40 – 19:20 — Talk 1: Matthias Gronwald, CoCTO, Turbine Kreuzberg Topic: TBD 19:20 – 19:25 — Short Break 🥨 19:25 – 20:05 — Talk 2: Tom Donsbach, Head of AI, ScalePartners Topic: AI Enablement in Sales: What We Built, What Worked, What We Learned The talk walks through SP's internal AI enablement journey in sales, from the first experiments to where they stand today.
