BEADS Tech Meetup Series

Join the Berlin Data Management Community at the BEADS Tech Meetup

The Berlin Ecosystem for Analytics and Data Systems (BEADS) is launching its meetup series.

Join us on 24 September 2026 at 6 pm for the first BEADS tech meetup. Newly established, BEADS connects researchers and practitioners in data management across the Berlin metropolitan area. Our goals: generate new research ideas, accelerate technology transfer, and further strengthen Berlin's position as a leading European hub for data systems.
The series follows the format of a standard tech meetup, but with content chosen to speak to academia and industry alike. We're kicking things off with speakers from BIFOLD, Databricks, and Snowflake on semantic query processing.

Talks starting at 6.30 pm

• (TBA Snowflake) — title TBA 
• Sven Wagner-Boysen (Databricks) — title TBA 
• Olga Ovcharenko (BIFOLD) — SemBench: a new academic benchmark for semantic query processing

Networking and drinks to follow.
