**Important:** * Please sign up on the following website to complete your sign up: https://uxdx.com/community/community-barcelona-2026-04-21/ An in-person series of meetups focused on helping product & engineering teams in Copenhagen bridge the gap between UX, Product, Design, and Dev, and to build better products faster, together. **Agenda:** 18:30 - 19:00 Opening and registration 19:00 - 19:15 Welcome from the UXDX Ambassadors and Manychat 19:15 - 19:45 Talk 1: [Glòria Langereo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glorialangreo/), Senior Design Director at GitHub 19:45 - 20:15 Talk 2: [Greg Kozakiewicz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregkozakiewicz/), Director of Design at Oracle 20:15 - 20:45 Closing and networking ## **✨ Talks** **Talk by Glòria Langreo - What Breaks When AI Hits Real Product Workflows** A talk focused on the things that do not work smoothly in practice yet, like undocumented internal APIs, weak documentation, messy systems, and the gap between AI hype and what teams can actually use day to day. **Talk by Greg Kozakiewicz - Fast is Easy. Coherent is Hard.** Ai is making it faster and cheaper to build than ever before but speed without coherence is how products fall apart. This talk explores what actually changes for designers and design leaders when Ai enters the workflow at scale: not the tools, but the judgment, the responsibility, and the systems needed to keep products from fragmenting under velocity pressure. Using design systems as a concrete anchor, the talk makes the case that the designer's role isn't shrinking, it's shifting upstream, toward the decisions that Ai can't make on its own. Practical, honest, and beyond the hype. ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

Una historia real para quienes quieren dejar de construir en el vacío y empezar a generar impacto (y dinero). * [Wellyson Freitas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wellyfrs) Software engineer with experience building and operating systems in fintech environments such as Revolut and N26, focusing on complex integrations and real-world constraints. Writing code has never been easier, but building the right system is not. Engineers still face challenges like understanding unclear problems, collaborating across teams and organisations, aligning on decisions, and evolving systems under real-world constraints. This talk explores where this complexity comes from in practice and how to navigate it more effectively, focusing on the parts of software engineering that go beyond just writing code. **🏢 Dónde** Fotocasa Group: Ciutat de Granada\, 150\, Planta 9\,

Let's meet on Sant Jordi's day (the most beautiful day in Barcelona) to channel this energy into our most productive work. This is an invitation to stop postponing important work for urgent work. Let's meet for a focused half-day session where we work ON our businesses, not just IN them. **What this is:** A strategic coworking experience designed to help you gain clarity, make important decisions, and execute one high-value action that moves your business forward. We won't be checking emails or working on admin tasks, we'll be doing CEO-level work that we keep putting off. **What we'll do:** * Opening circle for intention setting and goal sharing * Identify your ONE high-value action that's been on hold * Deep focused work blocks with accountability check-ins * Closing commitment ritual **What you'll leave with:** A high-value business action COMPLETED, clarity on your strategic priorities, and the momentum that comes from accomplishing important work alongside other driven women. **Bring:** Your laptop, charger, and a journal if you'd like. You can buy drinks and snacks at the venue. **Important:** *Only 15 spaces available*. Book ONLY if you're 100% certain you can attend. Last-minute cancellations take away someone else's opportunity to make real progress on their business. This session depends on the full commitment and energy of every person in the group. **🌟 Bonus:** The day before, you'll receive some journaling prompts to prepare your mind for clarity and focus. See you on Thursday!

Hey. This week's workshop topic is: **"The Founder is the Bottleneck"** Most entrepreneurs don't burn out because they're doing too little. They burn out because they're doing everything - without managing the one resource that actually drives performance: their ENERGY. This session is a practical workshop for founders and professionals who are already working hard and want to stay sharp doing it. **What you'll learn?** * A clear picture of where your energy actually goes * Tools to stay sharp on your worst days, not just your best * One change you can implement the same week * Live Q&A — bring your questions **⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯** **About Christopher Knoll** * Certified CBC (cognitive behaviour coach), executive coach and NLP practitioner * Mentor at Criteo * 4x founder * 19 years working in startup and corporate environments * Ex- Harley Davidson, Pepe Jeans, Google & Criteo **After Workshop** We'll continue with our regular networking meetup structure. **⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯** Join our Community (10,000+ Members) **WhatsApp:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2V5hTCakTFA8BdNHKg05L](https://chat.whatsapp.com/J2V5hTCakTFA8BdNHKg05L) This week's in-person workshop is at the ICON Hotel. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **LOCATION:** Near Plaza Catalunya (5 mins walk) **NO LIMIT:** You're welcome to bring friends **PRICE:** €7 includes a drink \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- *\*\*paid at the entrance, you can redeem at the bar.* Our goal is to create a community of fellow entrepreneurs where: * we can discuss new ideas * be inspired * do business together * and support each other.

In this session, we’ll explore one of the most important and overlooked leadership skills: how to tackle difficult conversations in a way that builds trust, drives growth and sets the standard for the people around you. Too often, conflict is treated as a one-off conversation or a management tool reserved for performance issues. But in reality, the way a leader handles conflict shapes culture. It teaches people what honesty sounds like, what care looks like and whether growth feels safe. Together, we’ll explore four common ways people experience challenging conversations in the workplace. We’ll unpack how each one affects confidence, motivation, trust, and performance and what leaders can do differently to communicate with more intention and impact. This will be a practical, interactive session designed for professionals, founders, managers, team leads, and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and lead by example. **During the session we’ll cover:** * Why leadership is better understood as an infinite game rather than a short-term win. * The four methods people often use to handle difficult conversations: compassionate clarity, brutal clarity, empty critique, and empty negativity. * How different approaches affect trust, confidence, motivation, and action. * Why vague kindness can be just as unhelpful as harsh criticism. **About the Speaker** Saba Shakir is a Leadership Communication and a Learning & Development specialist who designs practical training to improve speaking, interpersonal skills and leadership confidence. She is also President of Women4Space, promoting inclusion and opportunities in the space sector. With a Masters in Linguistics and degree in Social Psychology, she focuses on helping professionals communicate clearly and lead effectively. Her research on building an inclusive space workforce will be presented at IAC Antalya 2026. **Agenda** * Doors open: 7.00pm * Session starts: 7.15pm * Interactive activities and discussion: 7.30pm * Q&A / group reflection: 7.45pm * Networking: 8.00pm **About Let’s Speak Business** Join Let’s Speak Business, where ambitious people come together to strengthen the communication and leadership skills that shape real career growth. Each session explores practical, workplace-focused themes across communication, leadership, confidence, and professional development - designed to help you speak with greater clarity, navigate challenges more effectively, and build the presence needed to contribute with authority and lead with impact. Expect interactive sessions, practical discussion, and a community of like-minded people who want to grow in confidence, capability, and business acumen.

​The mornings that get harder, the things that used to excite you that now feel hollow, the sense that you're running on empty but somehow still running. By the time most people recognise it, burnout has already been building for months. **​In this Growth Lab LIVE workshop session, Professor Joaquim T. Limonero takes a scientific look at what's actually happening, both psychologically and physically, when stress stops being useful and starts becoming harmful.** **[Tickets must be purchased via LUMA - from 10 euros.](https://luma.com/or3e7t07?utm-source-meetup)** ​Drawing on health psychology and emotional regulation research, we'll explore why your nervous system responds to a difficult email the same way it once responded to a predator, how the stories you tell yourself about pressure shape your experience of it, and why some people seem to absorb stress while others accumulate it. ​ This isn't about telling you to sleep more and drink less coffee. It's about understanding the real mechanics of stress — so that when you feel it building, you know what's happening, and you actually have somewhere to go with it. *** ## ​What You'll Take Away ​**1\. Stress isn't the enemy — your relationship with it is** Learn to distinguish between productive stress that sharpens your focus and toxic stress that quietly depletes you. The difference isn't always the situation — it's the meaning you assign to it. ​**2\. You have more control over your stress response than you think** Cognitive appraisal — how you interpret a situation — is one of the most powerful levers you have. We'll look at practical ways to shift your internal narrative before the stress response takes hold. ​**3\. Burnout is a psychological signal\, not a personal failure** Understanding *why* some people are more vulnerable to burnout changes the conversation entirely. It's not about weakness or laziness — it's about patterns, history, and what we've learned to believe about our own worth under pressure. ​**4\. Emotional regulation is a skill\, and most of us were never taught it** There's a big difference between suppressing how you feel and actually processing it. We'll explore regulation strategies that build genuine resilience — not just the appearance of coping. ​**5\. Recovery is an active process** Rest alone doesn't reverse burnout. We'll look at what psychological recovery actually requires, and how to build it into real life — not just in theory. ​**About the Speaker:** ​Dr. Joaquim T. Limonero is Professor of Psychology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and coordinator of the Research Group on Stress and Health (GIES). His work focuses on stress, anxiety, emotional wellbeing and health psychology, and he is President of the Spanish Society for the Study of Anxiety and Stress (SEAS). He also serves as editor-in-chief of the scientific journal *Ansiedad y Estrés*. * ​​1845h - Doors open * ​1900h - Talk starts * ​2000h - Q&A * ​2030h - Drinks & Networking * Tickets: https://luma.com/or3e7t07?utm-source-meetup ​​-- ​​​\*\*[Growth Lab: Unlock Your Potential](https://www.growth-lab.live/)\*\* ​​​​Join us at Growth Lab, where ambitious minds gather to explore ideas that fuel personal and professional growth.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
