European governments have created great external dependencies in their digital infrastructure, with much of public digital infrastructure depending on foreign components, platforms, and systems. In recent years, cities, states and countries have responded by investing in their digital sovereignty, cutting decade-long IT contracts, open sourcing code, and looking for more agile suppliers to make their tech stack more modular.

At this meetup, attendees will hear what digital sovereignty entails, why it's desirable and how to get there, with speakers including Anke Obendiek (DigitalService des Bundes), Lisa Steigertahl (Deloitte), and Powen Shiah (Sovereign Tech Agency).

CityLAB Berlin hosts the event in its space in the former Tempelhof airport terminal. All presentations will be given in English; questions in the discussion can be raised in English or German.

Get ready for the wildest B3AM '26 in Berlin this fall - it's gonna be epic! Join us in Berlin for an inspiring evening of creativity and connection at B3AM '26 - fall edition. Chaos and our friends at B3AM are bringing the community together for a night filled with engaging talks, shared ideas, and plenty of opportunities to connect with 3D professionals and enthusiasts. They'll take the stage to share their latest projects, insights, and techniques—giving you a fresh perspective on the future of visualisation.

B3AM '26 (fall edition)

When tackling public policy, systemic inertia, and large-scale transitions, standard design methodologies often hit a wall. How do we navigate rigid structures, align divergent stakeholders, and introduce meaningful interventions? This evening brings together two distinct perspectives: long-term participatory facilitation within public ecosystems and disruptive edge-thinking to challenge status-quo mindsets. Two inspiring talks by Guglielmo Apolloni and Michelle Zucker, exploring system friction, from municipal policy co-design to unlikely cross-sector alliances, followed by an interactive Q&A session with both speakers.

Designing for systems that don't want to change

A complimentary working session on the positioning strategy most studio owners never put down on paper. Most creative founders position in reactive mode, describing capabilities, listing services, or defaulting to generic language rather than defining exactly who they exist for and what gap they close that no one else does.

The session covers an interactive exercise on one of these topics: positioning architecture (the structure beneath the language), category-of-one positioning (carving out a space based on a specific expertise or approach), the gap you close rather than the work you do, and messaging clarity across touchpoints.

This is part of a series on pricing and financial architecture for founders who are ready to be recognized as the obvious choice inside a growing solo practice or studio with a team.

Format: 45-minute working session (virtual). Hosted by Rea Stamatoulakis.

Gestalten mit Canva – Visuelle Inhalte einfach umsetzen: Du brauchst ansprechende Grafiken für dein Projekt, hast aber keine Erfahrung mit Grafikprogrammen? In diesem Workshop lernst du Canva kennen – ein intuitives, browserbasiertes Design-Tool für Social Media, Präsentationen, Flyer, Poster und vieles mehr. Gemeinsam gestalten wir visuelle Inhalte, die Eindruck machen – ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse im Grafikdesign. Neben einem kurzen Input bleibt genug Zeit, um selbst zu gestalten und Fragen zu stellen.

Gestalten mit Canva

What if the website you've spent years perfecting quietly stops being where your customers meet your brand? You optimized the navigation. Refined the design system. Obsessed over every step of the customer journey. But AI is changing where people actually go looking for answers. Instead of visiting your site, they ask an AI assistant, and your website becomes a source it pulls from, not a destination people arrive at.

What If Websites No Longer Have Pages?

In diesem Workshop erfährst du, wie du die Kosten und Ausgaben deines Projekts im Blick behalten kannst und welche Kenntnisse für eine reibungslose Abrechnung wichtig sind. Die Veranstaltung findet auf Deutsch und vor Ort im Podewil als Präsenzveranstaltung statt.
