Location: WeWork Stresemannstraße, Stresemannstraße 123c, 10963 Berlin - 5th Floor @ rackspace

------

🏠 18:00 - Arrival: Networking, Drinks & Snacks (30 min.) Grab yourself snacks & drinks and say hello to everybody else!

📅 18:30 - What's Bad Telemetry Anyway? (30 min.) 🎙️Speaker: Juraci Paixão Kröhling, Software Engineer & CNCF Ambassador @ OllyGarden

The promise of "instrument all the things" often leads to an overgrown jungle of telemetry data—expensive, noisy, and surprisingly unhelpful when incidents strike. This talk examines what separates signal from noise in modern observability, explores the hidden costs of poorly curated telemetry, and provides practical strategies for cultivating data that actually serves your debugging needs instead of obscuring them.

☕ 19:00 - Break (15 min.)

📅 19:15 - Recap of DASH25 (60 min.) 🎙️Speaker: Alla Igityan, Enterprise Sales Engineer @ Datadog

In this session, we'll get an overview of all the announcements made at Datadogs annual conference DASH and some surprise demos.

🥗 20:15 - Drinks, Food & Networking Enjoy refreshments while networking with community peers!

👋 21:00 - Goodbye, see you next time!
