AI Generativa, Comunicación y Networking | Women in Cloud BA Meetup
En este meetup de **Women in Cloud Argentina** nos encontramos en las oficinas de AWS para compartir una noche de **aprendizaje y networking**.
Tendremos dos charlas breves que combinan **comunicación y tecnología**, dos habilidades clave para crecer en el mundo tech.
Primero vamos a explorar herramientas concretas para **animarse a hablar en público y compartir ideas con confianza**.
Luego nos vamos a meter en uno de los grandes desafíos actuales: **cómo evaluar correctamente sistemas de IA generativa** y entender si realmente funcionan.
Después de las charlas tendremos un espacio de **networking entre las asistentes** para conocernos, intercambiar experiencias y seguir fortaleciendo la comunidad.
### **🎤 Hablar en público empieza por decir: ¡sí!**
**Julieta Cane**
Una charla sobre cómo dar el primer paso para compartir ideas en público: técnicas para hablar con seguridad, gestionar el miedo escénico y conectar con la audiencia.
### **🎤 Más allá del vibe check: cómo evaluar sistemas de IA generativa**
**Martina Fernández Irungaray**
Cómo saber si un sistema de IA generativa realmente funciona. Exploraremos métricas, evaluación automática y por qué esto es clave para pasar de prototipo a sistema confiable.
📍 **Evento presencial en oficinas de AWS**

Mitos y verdades de performance y experiencia de usuario
NUEVA FECHA!!
¡Buenas a todos!
Anunciamos hoy un nuevo Meetup Presencial 🥳
Será el 18 de MARZO, así que pronto ¡nos vemos!
Esta charla será sobre **Mitos y verdades de performance y experiencia de usuario.**
Muchos desarrolladores web repiten máximas como “*los usuarios abandonan si el sitio tarda más de 4 segundos*”, “*todo tiene que ser above-the-fold*” o “*el diseño mobile-first es obligatorio*”, sin preguntarse de dónde vienen esas ideas ni si aplican a todos los contextos.
En esta charla vamos a desarmar algunos de los mitos más instalados sobre performance y UX, contrastándolos con hallazgos de la investigación académica y analizando el rol que juegan grandes actores de la industria (*como Google y Amazon*) en la difusión de ciertas métricas y prioridades que también responden a sus propios intereses.
A través de ejemplos concretos del ecosistema WordPress, vamos a explorar cómo estos supuestos impactan en la toma de decisiones técnicas, en la experiencia real de los usuarios y en los objetivos de negocio detrás de cada sitio.
Te contamos los detalles del evento:
📅 FECHA: 18 de MARZO 2026
⏰ HORA: 19:30hs
👤 PONENTE: Andrés Villarreal
📢 TEMA: Mitos y verdades de performance y experiencia de usuario

Bad Girls Book Club March 2026
**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.**
**This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.**
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

March Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers!
Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._**
The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
