AI and Society

Curious about how AI is transforming the way we build and grow businesses? Join us for a relaxed networking night in Barcelona where entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals come together to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities. 📅 **Sunday at 20:00** 📍 **Unplug Bar – Carrer Ataülf 18, Barcelona** 🍸 **Free Access:** Join us for free! We simply ask guests to purchase a minimum drink (€4) to support the venue. I have experience creating and implementing AI solutions for businesses, especially in the real estate and tourism sectors. During this meetup, we’ll talk about how AI is being applied in business right now — from automating processes and improving customer experience to creating travel solutions, digital products, and new business models. 💡 Real examples we’ll discuss: • How AI can be used in real estate to automate client communication, qualify leads, improve property matching, and create faster follow-up systems • How AI can be applied in tourism to create smarter travel experiences, including virtual guides, personalized itineraries, and multilingual support • How automation can reduce costs, save time, and increase efficiency in service-based businesses 💡 What we’ll cover: • How AI can help you grow your business • Practical ways to implement AI today • Opportunities in travel, tech, and digital business • Networking, collaboration, and idea sharing This is not a formal event — it’s a casual space to meet other entrepreneurs, build connections, exchange contacts, and explore ways to collaborate and create business opportunities together 🤝 Grab a drink, meet like-minded people, and talk about ideas in a relaxed atmosphere 🍻 We’ll also share a real example of how travelers are exploring Barcelona using AI-powered tools and virtual guides. 👉 You can check the concept here: [https://tour-mate.com/](https://tour-mate.com/) Whether you're building something, starting out, or just curious about AI and business — you're welcome to join 🙌 Let’s connect, share ideas, and grow together.

Participants will be paired up and invited to take a walk through the gardens while reflecting on a set of questions inspired by the natural world. Afterwards, we'll gather as a group to share insights, reflections, and snacks together. Nature has spent billions of years learning how to adapt, regenerate, and collaborate.

**[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.

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** ***Los 22 Arcanos Mayores, las letras hebreas y*** ***el Árbol de la Vida como mapa de la conciencia.*** La mayoría de las personas conocen el Tarot como una herramienta de adivinación. Sin embargo, existe una tradición mucho más profunda y menos conocida que lo considera un auténtico **lenguaje simbólico de transformación interior.** Según la tradición iniciática, los 22 Arcanos Mayores están íntimamente relacionados con las 22 letras hebreas y los 22 senderos del **Árbol de la Vida cabalístico**. Juntos forman un mapa extraordinario del viaje del alma y de las diferentes etapas de la evolución de la conciencia. **En esta conferencia exploraremos:** • El verdadero significado iniciático del Tarot. • La relación entre los Arcanos Mayores y las letras hebreas. • Cómo los símbolos del Tarot actúan sobre la mente y la conciencia. • Por qué el Tarot puede convertirse en una herramienta de autoconocimiento y transformación personal. Lejos de las predicciones y los estereotipos habituales, descubriremos el Tarot como un mapa simbólico del desarrollo humano y una vía para profundizar en el conocimiento de uno mismo. Porque la pregunta más importante no es qué ocurrirá mañana... Sino quién eres realmente y qué potencial está esperando manifestarse a través de tu vida. **"El Tarot no muestra el futuro.** **Revela posibilidades ocultas en la conciencia."** **aportación :** 5€ para gastos de organización. **Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164) Te esperamos! :)

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

**Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink.

We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Come to happy hour with me! We can get drinks and get to know each other.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.
