[FOR entering the building use the link: https://light.ps/t/8175c19c3fb6] Dear hardwarians and softwarians, In today’s technological era, hardware and software co-design has become an irreversible path in product creation. Take your phone for example, and the challenge faced by product designers in updating hardware and software to continuously satisfy our demands for the latest surprise. How do we decide which of the two is more important? How do we ensure neither takes centre stage, but both marry together to complement one other? ★AGENDA★ Come join us to talk, share ideas, and hear from the women behind Berlin’s hardware and software start-ups! ★ SPEAKERS ★ Marian Montagnino - Software Engineer at GrayMeta Sophie Willborn - Founder at Headwave ★ About 1AIM ★ How to find the venue: At Women Techmakers Berlin we are encouraging diversity in tech in Berlin since 2015. Get visibility, networking and resources to make the tech community of Berlin diverse and inclusive! Our community is made of over 1,000 members meeting several times a month for different events - tech skills, soft skills and networking. Join us: Follow us on twitter: http://twitter.com/wtm_berlin
We’re gathering together to discuss what it takes to build successful hardware and software products. What are the challenges faced by mechanical and software engineers; how do we combine best practices from both to marry them into one successful entity? We invite everyone interested in software, hardware, product design and co-design to share their experiences and thoughts with us, and hear from the leading women in Berlin’s hardware, software and hybrid start-ups.

1aim is redefining buildings. We provide businesses with a full-stack platform that optimizes and automates building management. With our secure access and identity solution, intelligent sensors and superior data analysis software, we are launching the digital era of buildings. We believe buildings should be more than static costly structures which is why our platform enables simple building management and superior user experience.
The event will take place at the garden.
