Being the only researcher, or part of a small research team, often means carrying the weight of user advocacy entirely on your shoulders. The Barcelona tech ecosystem is fueled by fast-moving startups and agile product teams, but that reality can sometimes leave UX researchers managing backlogs and advocating for stakeholder buy-in without a massive support system.

Join us as we interview a panel of UXRs who have successfully built their company's research culture from within a lean team. We will dive into their firsthand experiences and talk through real-world playbooks for strategic roadmap influence. Expect thoughtful discussions on how to democratize your insights, scale your impact across the organization, and drive high-fidelity product decisions.

Whether you are a team of one or navigating the growing pains of a small team, bring your questions, your challenges, and your stories. See you there!
