Barcamp
On Sunday, June 15, Nick Burch will be hosting our Barcamp from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with doors opening at 2:30 PM. This is an opportunity for you to discuss relevant topics in a relaxed environment, network with other attendees, and receive feedback on your latest projects. Barcamps are informal, ‘un-conferenced’ sessions where the schedule is created on the day of the event. The topics are driven by the interests and expertise of the attendees, making each Barcamp unique and enjoyable! Admission to our Barcamp is included with every on-site conference pass.
Get Together
After a full day of sessions on Monday, come and relax and connect with fellow attendees at our Get-Together on 16 June, generously sponsored by our partner Search Guard. Enjoy tasty food and drinks, as well as live music. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and catch up with familiar faces!
Programme
Two days, 60+ sessions, 80 speakers, and a deep dive into search, AI/ML, data science, and modern data infrastructure, and more are waiting for you.
Whether you want to know about the latest developments in Apache Lucene or Airflow, are interested in self-hosting AI LLMs, want to go beyond RAG, build modern databases or even learn about open source licensing – Berlin Buzzwords has got you covered!
