TechTribe: Tech Speed Debating @ Factorial 🚀

Mon, Apr 27, 4:30 PM

From TechFems

**Ready for networking that goes beyond the basics?** For this TechTribe, we’re trying something different: **Tech Speed Debating**. 🗣️ What is **Tech Speed Debating**? It is a friendly, fast-paced activity where we explore different opinions on tech. Don't worry, you don't need to be an expert! The goal is to exchange ideas, hear how others think, and get to know the community better through the topics we're passionate about. We’ve all been to networking events where you get stuck on "What do you do?" and "Where do you work?" This format is designed to skip the small talk. Inspired by community events like [Aknostic](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aknostic_aknostic-techcommunity-keit-activity-7303782864733556737-_EA0/) and [Dutch Cloud Native Day 2025](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pacobernab%C3%A9_cloud-cloudnative-opensource-activity-7341360431699017729-Mhnt/), we’ve gathered a list of "spicy" tech topics 🌶️ to discuss for you: general open questions about how we work, the tools we use, and where the industry is headed. **ℹ️ How does it work?** You’ll be paired up for 10 minutes to chat about a specific topic. There are no wrong answers! Whether you’ve been an engineer for 20 years or you’re currently transitioning into tech, your unique background brings a fresh lens to the conversation. Once the timer goes off, you’ll switch partners and topics. It’s a fast, fun way to meet the tribe and see the tech world through someone else's eyes. **📒 The Agenda** * **18:30:** Doors open and host presentation 👋 * **19:00:** **Tech** **Speed Debating Begins!** * **20:00:** Mingling. **📅 Date:** April 27th 2026, 18:30 - 21:00 **📍 Location:** **[Factorial](https://factorial.es/) (NEW office)** \- Carrer de Llacuna 56\, edificio C\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7) We appreciate **[Factorial](https://factorial.es/)**'s generosity in hosting us at their Barcelona office and for providing snacks & refreshments.

Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You

Tue, Apr 28, 4:30 PM

From UX Hub Barcelona

4.7

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com) at their beautiful office in Poblenou, in the heart of Barcelona's innovation district. **Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You** As AI accelerates the pace of production, the fear of being "out-paced" is real. But designers already hold the key to the future: the Design System. Far from just a library of components, a robust Design System sits at the critical intersection of design and code—the exact language AI speaks. In this talk, we’ll explore why the foundations you’ve already built are the ultimate launchpad for AI-driven scale and speed. Learn how to pivot your design system from a static resource into an automated engine, ensuring that as we scale at the speed of light, Design remains the pilot, not just a passenger. **Speaker** [Nikki Plyem](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkiplyem/) is Design Manager of Product Platform at Docplanner. With over 15 years in the design industry, Nikki leads the design in the Product Platform team at Docplanner, where she focuses on building the systems and services that allow design to scale globally. Her career spans award-winning agencies and high-growth Fintech, but her unique approach to design systems is rooted in her earlier life in New York City. Before pivoting to design, Nikki spent years as a professional improviser with a background in Theater and Sociology—disciplines that taught her how to navigate complex human systems and collaborate in real-time. **Hosts** This event is hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com), a global healthcare platform focused on making access to care simpler, from discovery to booking. They design tools for both patients and clinics, shaping how millions of people experience healthcare every day. **Location:** Docplanner, Omron Europe, [Carrer de Josep Pla, 2, Sant Martí, 08019 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a35a284a30e3:0xffdc5d7e01ee12a?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **To join us, just:** ✅ RSVP here on Meetup ✅ Answer [this form](https://48db4b2d.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFALfB0bn_p1G9zS7yYICl8fr4aT-cjBYl7Ow1DKvi6gv1FzDSE3Dt9fmIH5k78PONlJNEn2S6UnpOuo_VNIeUd69dkI5RJ0kaw7TjtxPjtwYy8KKc80BkMTozTqyRXiKCcXK9G8y-NccOB4S1Ci0SPkuWLJ5BCVWC80yGZ9bhinpCpoBKNV5cyovr3wH4BWM1_lNTf8IsVTvO) **What’s Happening?** * Keynote Talk: Nikki Plyem * Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You * Hosts: Docplanner * Interactive Q&A: Get your questions answered * Community Networking: Connect with fellow designers, AI specialists, and UX thinkers **Details:** **🗓️ Date**: Tuesday, April 28, 2026 **⏰ Time:** 18:30–21:30 📍 **Location:** Omron Europe, [Carrer de Josep Pla, 2, Sant Martí, 08019 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a35a284a30e3:0xffdc5d7e01ee12a?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **Why You’ll Love It:** A discussion about hope for the future of AI and UX. **Agenda:** **18:30 – Door Opens** **19:00 – Introduction** **19:15–20:00 – Talk & Q&A** **20:00–21:30 – Socialization & Fun!** **Educational partner:** [Interaction Design Foundation](https://www.interaction-design.org/turn-passion-into-paycheck?ep=ux-salon-bcn) [Uxcel](https://uxcel.com/) **P.S.** Please make sure to show up on time. **If we reach full capacity, we'll not be able to let you in**, even if you have a ticket!

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **April 28th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/)**! 📍**Location**: El Triangle\, Pl\. de Catalunya\, 1\-4\, 3º planta\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services) * **19:30 - 20:15** FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: "Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services)"** * **Speaker**: [Oliana Cintas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliana-cintas-grau-7a393a160/) - *Senior IT consultant at [ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/).* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: In this session, Oliana will demonstrate how to use the open-source platform Proxmox to build a personal data center or "HomeLab" for less than 250€. We will walk through a real-world scenario: deploying a frontend web app using a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. You’ll learn how to integrate GitLab, LXC containers, and Terraform to mirror professional environments right from your living room. Stepping into a specialized, high-stakes role can be intimidating—especially when mistakes are costly. DevOps is the perfect example: the "barrier to entry" often feels like it requires a massive enterprise budget just to practice. But is it possible to master production-grade DevOps without breaking the bank? * **About**: Oliana Cintas is a Maker with over 8 years of experience in the automotive sector. He is the former co-owner of a non-profit maker association and an app startup. *** * **Title: "FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost"** * **Speaker**: [Julia Lamenza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jlamenza/) - *Senior SRE & Cloud Architect - Consultant* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Cloud costs often become visible only after deployment. In fast-moving environments, engineering teams can unintentionally introduce expensive infrastructure changes with every pull request. This talk explores how to shift left cost awareness by embedding FinOps directly into the development workflow. Using Terraform and Infracost, we can bring real-time cost estimation into pull requests, enabling engineers to understand the financial impact of their changes before deployment. * **About**: Site Reliability Engineer with 13+ years of experience building and operating scalable infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. Outside of work, she enjoys speaking at tech events, exploring new places, and building connections within the community. \-\-\-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport - email" field** when registering!
