IBM Bob Coding Watch Party in Berlin & Online

Build with IBM Bob in this free hybrid coding watch party at IBM Berlin on 20 August 2026, combining expert sessions, guided practice and networking. Designed for makers, innovators, developers and technology teams, this community-first event explores how IBM Bob,an AI-powered development partner,can help users ideate, create and ship better code faster. Attend in person at IBM Berlin, Ella-Trebe-Straße 3, or follow the livestream online; the joining link will be visible to registered attendees. Rather than simply watching a webinar, participants will discuss the demonstrations, react alongside other creators and put the ideas into practice. The programme covers AI-driven development across the software development lifecycle, from early ideation and legacy application modernisation to secure, full-stack, enterprise-ready delivery. ## What’s on the agenda Doors open at 16:00 CEST for local networking, followed by the official welcome and livestream from 17:00. Sessions include: - Coding Agents & Habitat Engineering with Bob, led by Jacob Schwarz - DevSecOps & Security Engineering with Bob, presented by Jan Wardenga - Community demonstrations from people sharing what they have built with Bob - A guided overview of Bob v2 and its new release features with Eric Sease - Spec-driven development with Jacob Schwarz - Open experimentation, supported by finger food and drinks, either individually or in local teams Sebastian Grodzietzki will welcome attendees and introduce the evening. A break at 18:15 provides time to install Bob if needed and find teammates, although the organisers recommend installing it before arrival. The livestream concludes when the free-flow building session begins at 19:15, with the published agenda listing closing doors at 20:30. ## Who should attend? The event includes tracks for beginner, intermediate and expert participants. Bob is presented as supporting domain users without coding experience as well as R&D and operations professionals, so the watch party is suitable whether you are taking your first steps with AI-assisted development or exploring advanced engineering and DevSecOps workflows.… Register for this event
