AI Plumbers Conference

AIFoundry is bringing you the second edition of the AI Plumbers Conference — a meetup for low-level AI builders who value real conversations over keynote slides.

If you’re planning to attend the Berlin Buzzwords Barcamp, arrive a little earlier to enjoy the open-source community vibes and discussions at their open-to-all unconference. Hugging Face will be joining them to present use cases they are going to discuss. You can join as well— the call for papers is still open, so please apply!

The AI Plumbers Conference is for anyone working in modern data infrastructure, machine learning and open-source software projects. It’s a space to connect, swap ideas and collaborate, free from the pressure of constant talks. You can read/watch here how their previous FOSDEM fringe event went.

c-base tour

Founded in 1995, c-base is Germany’s, and probably the world’s, oldest hackerspace, operated by the NGO c-base e.V. Following its creed, “be future compatible,” c-base serves as a space for nerds, geeks, hackers, dreamers, and data travelers to gather, converse, and explore ideas for creating a better future—whatever that may entail. In this spirit, c-base hosted the Lounge of the Chaos Communication Congress when it was held in Berlin. It was also the birthplace of both the “Förderverein für freie Netzwerke e.V.” (2003), Germany’s first Freifunk chapter, and the German Pirate Party (2006). Additionally, the very first Berlin Buzzwords event took place at c-base in 2009.

To conclude the first evening of Berlin Buzzwords, Gregor “Little Detritus” Bransky invites you to join a tour of c-base. Afterwards, you can unwind at one of its recreational areas, enjoying a refreshing beverage by the waterside of the Spree.

A travel group will form during the Get-Together.

📅 When: June 17, 2025 – 7 pm
📍 Where: c-base, Rungestraße 20 | 10179 Berlin
