SoundCloud is holding a tech talk on REST aimed at those who already have some experience with its structure. The public lecture is being held at the company’s new office and there will be a Q&A session afterwards. More info here. At Greifswalder Strasse 212, from 7-8pm.
Thursday
The BizSpark European Summit promises to be a melting pot of the tech scene focusing on the ramifications of global business models, with a major announcement due from Microsoft which it says will redefine its relationship with the entrepreneur ecosystem. The event – which comes just a week after the opening of the startup-focused Microsoft Center in Berlin – will also include a Startup Showcase, where companies will pitch their ideas to the audience and a panel of judges. You can register here. At Unter den Linden 17, from 9pm.
Want to hack something with some like-minded people? OpenHack is a meet up for just that, with only two rules: Introduce yourself and what you want to do, and just hack, whether on your own project or with someone else.
