Hosted by HackLab

Build and ship a working Physical AI prototype at HackLab’s intensive 48-hour Robotics x AI Hackathon, held at CIC Berlin on 14–15 November 2026. Designed for people who want to move beyond discussing the future of robotics and start creating it, HackLab 2 brings builders together for two focused days of development, hardware training and experimentation. Participants will form teams, develop innovative robotics and AI projects, and turn ambitious ideas into real prototypes before presenting their work live. Who should attend? The hackathon is aimed at builders, engineers, startup founders and researchers working in or exploring robotics and AI. It is particularly relevant to technically minded participants who want practical experience with Physical AI, opportunities to meet potential collaborators, and direct exposure to others building at the frontier of intelligent hardware. The organisers highlight several reasons to take part: - Collaborate with robotics and AI talent and industry leaders - Build and showcase a cutting-edge robotics solution - Compete for more than €10,000 in cash, hardware and other prizes - Explore potential job and internship opportunities - Receive free credits from participating technology providers for use during the hackathon - Meet founders, researchers and engineers shaping the future of robotics Partners, co-hosts, technology providers and the precise prize categories are still to be announced. Updates will be shared through HackLab’s LinkedIn page. Hackathon schedule The in-person programme takes place at CIC Berlin, Lohmühlenstraße 65, in Berlin. Saturday, 14 November begins with doors, registration and breakfast at 09:00, followed by the opening ceremony at 09:30. Hacking starts at 11:00, with lunch at 13:00 and dinner at 19:00. Teams can continue building overnight. Sunday, 15 November starts with breakfast at 08:00 and lunch at 13:30. Final submissions are due at 17:45, immediately followed by judging at 18:00. The weekend concludes at 19:00 with live pitches and an award ceremony. Places are described as highly limited, and the current Eventbrite listing shows the event as sold out.

Hosted by Software & Support Media GmbH

AI Engineering Summit brings five days of hands-on enterprise AI training to the Maritim Pro Arte Berlin from 16–20 November 2026. Designed for teams moving beyond AI experiments, this inaugural event explores how to integrate coding agents, AI assistants and agentic workflows into real software delivery processes. Held in Berlin, the summit combines practical instruction with peer learning and problem-solving. Its programme includes five AI engineering tracks, more than 15 workshops, two deep-dive bootcamps and a dedicated Lab Day. Most training sessions feature hands-on exercises, best practices and live demonstrations rather than relying on theory alone. What the programme covers The five tracks address the technical and organisational challenges involved in adopting AI across enterprise engineering: - AI Software Engineering: Integrating coding agents and assistants into development, testing, code review and delivery with clear processes and standards. - Quality, Testing & AI Code Review: Using AI to support automated testing, intelligent reviews and higher software quality. - Enterprise AI Governance & Security: Establishing rules for data protection, intellectual property, compliance and controlled AI use across complex environments. - Legacy Modernisation with AI: Evolving established systems through gradual, traceable changes rather than a high-risk “big bang” rewrite. - Developer Experience & AI Toolchains: Avoiding tool sprawl and building a coherent AI toolchain for engineering teams. The Lab Day is a distinctive part of the format. Attendees work alongside experts and other software teams on genuine challenges drawn from day-to-day engineering. The emphasis is on developing concrete solutions, exchanging experience and transferring the lessons directly into participants’ own development organisations. Who should attend? This summit is aimed at software engineers, software architects, Tech Leads, Platform Engineers, Developer Experience teams, Engineering Managers and technical decision-makers. It is particularly relevant for organisations that already use or evaluate AI tools but now need to introduce them in a structured, secure and sustainable way.

Hosted by AI Engineering Summit

Build production-ready AI engineering workflows at this in-person Berlin summit for enterprise software teams on 16 November 2026. The AI Engineering Summit is designed to help teams move beyond isolated AI experiments and establish reliable, scalable software-engineering practices. International experts will lead hands-on workshops, practical sessions and intensive bootcamps covering: - Coding agents and AI-assisted software architecture - Security and quality assurance for AI-enabled development - Developer-friendly, scalable API design - RAG systems grounded in domain-specific knowledge - Agentic AI, Agentic RAG, function calling and MCP - Secure agentic workflows and AI-assisted coding Featured bootcamps include API Bootcamp, From Prompt Engineering to a GenAI Solution, and Rethinking Software Development: Building More Efficiently with Agentic AI. The bootcamps are described as intensive two-day training experiences, with attendees working step by step alongside experts to produce practical, immediately applicable outcomes. They are selected in advance and must be booked separately through the ticket shop. This event is best suited to enterprise developers, software architects, engineering leaders and technical teams already exploring generative AI and looking for more robust production workflows.

VibeKode brings five days of AI-driven software development to Berlin and online, from 16–20 November 2026. Hosted at the Maritim proArte Hotel, the conference explores the shift from creative vibe coding to structured, autonomous agentic engineering. Its practical focus is on turning business ideas into scalable, secure and production-ready software, not simply following AI hype. What to expect The programme covers four core areas: - AI coding and coding agents - Agentic development and engineering - AI-driven software delivery - Workflows and operating models for AI-native teams The conference programme features keynotes, sessions and workshops, while the in-person expo runs on 18–19 November. Remote tickets are also available for those attending online. The published page does not specify a required experience level, but the event is designed for software engineers, innovators and enterprise leaders building intelligent systems or evaluating how AI will reshape their development practices. VibeKode is also part of AI Native Week, alongside MLcon Conference, AI Engineering Summit and API Conference. This broader programme examines how AI is changing the way software is designed, developed, connected, governed and operated. Berlin tickets currently advertise access to AI Native Week and a 10% team discount. Register for VibeKode Berlin
