Design is changing, but it's definitely not dead
Wed, Jul 15, 4:30 PM**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to our next event, hosted at Preply's offices in Barcelona! **Design is changing, but it's definitely not dead** Every AI tool launches ships with a eulogy for design. This talk argues that the hot takes have it backwards: AI has transformed the cost of executing design work, gathering data, analysing it, ideating, prototyping, and even shipping code, but it hasn't touched the part that was always the point. The thinking. Drawing on how the design team at Preply works with AI day to day, Tim explores the traps waiting inside this new speed: mistaking fluency for intelligence, mistaking a fast answer for the right one, and the recursive slop loop where AI-generated work trains the next generation of AI, raising the floor while quietly lowering the ceiling. The conclusion is optimistic. Design isn't disappearing, its stages are being redistributed between human and machine. Thinking is the glue between those stages, and choosing what to hand over, and what to hold, is the new craft. **Speaker** [Tim Green](https://www.linkedin.com/in/destroywerk/) is a Principal Product Designer at Preply. Originally from Manchester, UK, he began his career in traditional graphic design before transitioning to product design. After living in Berlin and Buenos Aires, he settled in London, where he has been based for the past 15 years. Tim spent nearly a decade at Google helping to launch Android Enterprise, Pixel Watch, and Pixel Tablet. He then moved to the HR SaaS platform Personio to solve complex organizational structure challenges. He is currently the Area Lead for the Growth tribe at Preply, supporting seven teams in creating the best possible onboarding experience for new learners. **Hosts** This event is hosted by [Preply](https://preply.com/), one of the world's leading online language learning platforms, connecting learners with tutors for live, personalized lessons in over 50 languages. Its platform combines smart matching technology with a global community of tutors, helping millions of learners build real-world language skills through one-on-one, tailored instruction. **Location:** Preply\*\*,\*\* 97 Carrer de Badajoz, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona, Spain **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: Tim Green * Hope in the Age of AI: Design is changing, but it's definitely not dead * Hosts: Preply * Interactive Q&A: Get your questions answered * Community Networking: Connect with fellow designers, AI specialists, and UX thinkers **Details:** **🗓️ Date**: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 **⏰ Time:** 18:30–21:00 📍 **Location:** Preply, 97 Carrer de Badajoz, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona, Spain **Why You’ll Love It:** A sharp take on why thinking, not execution, was always the real craft. **Agenda:** **18:30 – Doors Open** **18:45 – Introduction** **19:00–20:15 – Talk & Q&A** **20:15–21:00 – Socialization & Fun!** **Educational partners:** [Interaction Design Foundation](https://ixdf.org/) [Uxcel](https://uxcel.com/?utm_medium=paid%20search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=brand&utm_term=uxcel&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23478421564&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23478421564&gbraid=0AAAAAoYVYnfrZ5Yt8YP5nzmg5PiQ4LvIK&gclid=CjwKCAjw6rfSBhAqEiwA_yocppX7EENM8-y2gWRMnWIprvZnHOrWMLhhAxQKPof1jyFAryWd1HY_ERoCJIQQAvD_BwE) [Uxia](https://www.uxia.app/) **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!

DeepTech Talks BCN: From Applied AI Systems to Robotics at Scale
Tue, Jul 21, 4:30 PM**From Applied AI Systems to Robotics at Scale** **Building Automation That Works in the Real World** DOORS OPEN: 18:30 TALKS START: 19:00 NETWORKING: 20:00 - 21:30 **Our Speakers** **Fabricio Carraro** \- Developer Advocate at Barcelona Supercomputing Center\, AI Specialist\, Author\, TEDx Speaker & Host of IA Sob Controle **Olivier Pommares** \- Logistics Account Manager\, ABB Robotics **Fabricio Carraro** \- AI Specialist \- Building\, teaching and scaling applied AI Our first speaker is a hands-on, multilingual AI specialist with a background in Computer Engineering, Data and Machine Learning, and a strong focus on making artificial intelligence more practical, understandable and useful across organisations. A published author in Brazil on Artificial Intelligence, Language Models and Prompt Engineering, he is also a TEDx speaker and the host of IA Sob Controle, one of Brazil’s leading podcasts on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. His work spans AI education, model fine-tuning, RAG systems, open-source projects and large-scale learning programmes designed to help people and organisations understand and adopt AI. He has fine-tuned Barcelona Supercomputing Center AI models for specific use cases, created an open-source RAG PDF Search project included in Google Gemma’s official cookbook, and helped design Alura’s Artificial Intelligence Immersion Week together with Google, a five-day online event that reached more than 300,000 people. In this talk, he will explore what it takes to build and communicate applied AI in ways that people can actually use. From language models and prompt engineering to RAG systems, model adaptation and AI education at scale, his session will look at the bridge between technical capability and real-world adoption. **Olivier Pommares** \- Robotics at scale: from automation concepts to production\-ready systems\. Olivier Pommares is a Logistics Account Manager at ABB Robotics, working at the intersection of robotics, AI-driven automation and large-scale industrial deployment. His work focuses on enabling the integration of robotic systems into complex logistics environments, combining hardware, vision systems, gripping technologies and software orchestration to deliver end-to-end automation. In his talk, Olivier will explore what it takes to move robotics from promising concepts into robust, production-ready systems that can perform in real logistics and industrial environments. As AI-based perception, adaptive gripping and autonomous workflows become more mature, the challenge is no longer just what the technology can do, but how it can be integrated, scaled and trusted in complex operations. His session will bring a practitioner’s perspective on deploying robotics at scale: from system integration and operational performance to the realities of working with logistics and retail companies where automation needs to deliver measurable value. **What’s In It For You?** Some of the most interesting work in deep tech today is happening at the point where AI stops being abstract and starts becoming infrastructure. Robotics systems that move through warehouses. Vision systems that interpret messy physical environments. Gripping technologies that adapt to real objects. AI models that need to be fine-tuned, explained, integrated and used by people who are not necessarily AI specialists. In this DeepTech Talks edition, we’ll explore two complementary sides of applied AI: robotics and automation in complex industrial environments, and the AI systems, tools and education needed to make artificial intelligence useful at scale. **Who Should Come?** * Robotics engineers, AI engineers and ML engineers * Data scientists and software engineers working with applied AI * Automation, logistics and industrial technology professionals * Product and engineering leaders working with AI-enabled systems * Deep tech founders and technical operators * People working across robotics, logistics, manufacturing, retail, AI infrastructure or automation * Anyone curious about how AI and robotics become real operational systems **Extras** We’ll have snacks and drinks. 🍷🍕 Come ready to meet engineers, founders, researchers, operators, data leaders and technology builders working on the next generation of applied AI and robotics systems. Spaces are limited, so grab your spot on Meetup while you can.
