Únete a Search Barcelona para aprender sobre SEO en China, como trabajamos con AI y SEO más un juego SEO en The Hot Seat ## ¡Bienvenido a Search Barcelona! Prepárate para una tarde increíble en persona donde exploraremos en SEO en China, la revolución de la IA aplicada al SEO y, un juego interactivo por que se llama "The SEO Hot Seat". No te pierdas esta oportunidad única de conectar, compartir y llevar tu SEO al siguiente nivel con expertos y apasionados del sector. Our next Search Barcelona will be in Spanish. We will have two talks, one by [Natalia Witczyk](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/entradas-search-barcelona-seo-in-china-seo-con-ai-y-the-seo-hot-seat-1986508535505?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true) and one by [David Carrasco Pamies](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-carrasco-pamies/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-carrasco-pamies/"). **SEO Made in China: lecciones de marketing de mi 6 meses en Oriente** Esta charla explora cómo las superapps y los ecosistemas cerrados han redefinido el marketing digital en China. Natalia Witczyk pasó 6 meses en China aprendiendo sobre el mundo sin Google. Analizaremos cómo es el sistema digital de ahí ahora mismo y qué procesos acelerados impulsan sus tendencias. Descubre las claves de un mercado que opera a una velocidad y escala totalmente distintas, y aprende como aplicar esos conocimientos a tu estrategia de marketing. **Natalia Witczyk** es una consultora SEO independiente multilingüe, especializada en SEO Internacional. Es la fundadora de la consultora Mosquita Digital. Ha pasado más de 11 años creando e implementando estrategias SEO para motores como Google, Bing, Yandex y Baidu. Es nativa de Polonia y tiene experiencia profesional en Reino Unido, España y últimamente en China. **Gnōthi seautón (Know Thyself) - *Como descubrir y corregir lo que la IA dice de tu marca*** La charla explora por qué el SEO como disciplina ha ido perdiendo el contacto con el ser humano que está detrás de la búsqueda y qué hace falta para recuperarlo. Arranca con una mirada antropológica y lo conecta con lo que está pasando ahora mismo: la IA ha commoditizado el contenido, ha hecho visible la incoherencia de marca y ha expuesto un hueco que la mayoría de empresas no saben que tienen. No es una charla teórica. Incluye un caso de estudio real con resultados, un framework que la audiencia puede aplicar el lunes y un método sencillo con el que los asistentes podrán comprobar en directo la "deuda de identidad" de su propia marca: la distancia entre quiénes son y cómo los perciben los usuarios, los buscadores y los sistemas de IA. El tono es provocador pero inclusivo. Sin señalar con el dedo, sin catastrofismo. El objetivo es que la sala piense de forma diferente sobre lo que realmente es el trabajo de SEO y se vaya con algo concreto que hacer al respecto. David hablara cómo llegar al usuario actualmente, el impacto de IA, keyword research, y estrategia. Takeaways: 1\. Cómo el SEO perdió al usuario y por qué eso importa más que nunca\. 2\. Qué es la deuda de identidad y por qué la IA acaba de hacerla visible\. 3\. Un proceso real para volver a mirar al ser humano que busca\. **David Carrasco Pamies** es consultor de SEO estratégico con más de 15 años de experiencia en mercados internacionales. Fundó, escaló y vendió una empresa tecnológica: una experiencia que marcó su forma de entender el crecimiento, el producto y la visibilidad digital. Le obsesiona entender cómo los buscadores y los sistemas de IA deciden quién se ve y quién no. Generalista por convicción, conecta ideas entre SEO, estrategia de marca, psicología y tecnología. Speaker y formador en conferencias internacionales de SEO. We will have two talks, both in Spanish and then an SEO game called "The Hot Seat". The Hot Seat" Real SEO nightmares. One mic. Ninety seconds. Could you solve them under pressure? How it works: \- David presents 5 absurd\-but\-real client scenarios on screen \(think: "Your intern used AI to publish 50\,000 pages without telling anyone — traffic is up 400% but Google just started deindexing\. What do you do Monday morning?"\)\. \- For each scenario\, a volunteer takes the hot seat and has 90 seconds to pitch their strategy to the room\. \- Then David asks: "Would anyone do it completely differently?" A second person gets 60 seconds to counter\. \- The room votes on which approach wins\. David closes each round with his take or reveal what actually happened\. \- Five rounds\, five nightmares **We’re pleased to announce that Collaborator is the headline sponsor of the upcoming Search Barcelona event.** [Collaborator](https://collaborator.pro/?utm_source=searchldn&utm_medium=offline&utm_campaign=search_barcelona&utm_content=post "https://collaborator.pro/?utm_source=searchldn&utm_medium=offline&utm_campaign=search_barcelona&utm_content=post") is a digital PR marketplace that helps SEO specialists, marketers, and PR teams increase online visibility by guest posting and digital PR content distribution across trusted websites, with transparent SEO metrics, including data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console.

Volvemos a la carga con mucho teatro y más ganas que nunca de poder compartir este maravilloso arte con vosotros. Teatro en estado puro al alcance de todos! El nivel inicial tiene una gran importancia en el camino del desarrollo teatral, ya que en este primer contacto con el teatro nos basamos en comprender el hecho teatral en sí. Para ello realizamos una formación actoral básica, basándonos en las técnicas y disciplinas básicas de las artes escénicas, así como en los conocimientos indispensables para cualquier actor. Trabajo de improvisación, voz, expresión corporal, paleta emotiva, escenas, creación y trabajo de personajes, creación propia, desbloqueos etc. Siempre trabajando de una manera lúdica, el alumno podrá investigar las distintas herramientas escénicas que se pueden dar en el espacio teatral, mejorar la expresividad, potenciar la creatividad, el trabajo en grupo, la autoestima, y mucho más. Tomará conciencia de su cuerpo, del espacio, aprenderá de forma práctica como es la relación con los objetos, la creación de personajes y el trabajo de la improvisación, mejorando la expresión corporal y oral. Pero sobretodo DIVERTIRSE HACIENDO TEATRO, ese es nuestro principal objetivo. No os preocupéis si no hay mucha gente apuntada por meetup, la actividad se hace igual porque tenemos más gente apuntada por otros lugares.

A special edition meetup with a very special guest! International speaker Daniel Afonso will talk about the Framework wars and what he learned from them! Don't miss out! 🚀 ────────── **18:30: Welcome** **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 React-Driven Development: Career Lessons from the Framework Wars** Speaker: Daniel Afonso, Senior Developer Advocate at PagerDuty "No one uses what I built!" "Why can't I get support to do this?" "I don't even know why we're using that?" "Why am I always the one doing everything?" Sound familiar? The truth is, friction is ever-present in our careers — in our influence, processes, relationships, and even the code we ship. But we're rarely taught how to handle it. Here's the fun fact: React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. From the early skepticism around JSX and the Virtual DOM to the chaos of Server Components, the React team has navigated many friction points you'll face: skeptical stakeholders, unclear messaging, delayed initiatives, and the challenge of getting buy-in. So let's recap the highlights since its birth to the latest release, understand what React got right (and wrong), and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives. Whether you're leading a team, building internal tools, or advocating for a technical decision, you'll leave with concrete strategies for driving change, building trust, and shipping initiatives that actually get adopted. **20:00: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** **[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)** **[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen.

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
