At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Sony AI, on **Wednesday, February 25th.** ️*Transforming scientific literature into discovery at Sony AI* The speaker will be **[Miquel Ferrer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miquel-ferrer-5a97651/)** (ML/AI Engineer at Sony AI). **SUMMARY** In this talk we will gain insight into how **AI can act as a bridge across domains**, transforming the overwhelming scale of modern research into a **proactive engine for discovery**. In an era where **thousands of papers are published daily**, even the most specialized experts struggle to stay afloat. However, the sheer volume of global research represents more than a management challenge—it is a **massive, untapped resource for discovery**. In this session, we will explore how **AI can transform the vast body of scientific literature** into an **interconnected system of concepts and entities**. Moving beyond simple search and efficiency, we discuss how modeling the **evolution of knowledge** enables us to uncover **“scientifically plausible links”**—**hidden connections across domains**, such as **biology and medicine**, that are supported by data but **have not yet been articulated in print**. By leveraging AI to **bridge these silos**, we can move from **managing what is known** to **predicting the next frontier of scientific breakthroughs**. **This event is for you if you’re in:** AI/ML, Data & Analytics, NLP/LLMs, Knowledge Graphs/Ontologies, Search/IR, MLOps, or Data Engineering and want to turn research into actionable discovery. With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food and drinks .** ** Do you want to come along?** Share this invitation with all your contacts, or click the "share" button below. **WHEN:** Wednesday, February 25th at 6:30 PM **WHERE:** Oficinas InnoIT Consulting, [C/ Diputació, 280, Bajos 2ª, 08009, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zC6Sf2jUogxauX317) **LANGUAGE:** English **Join our [newsletter](https://www.inno-it.es/newsletter/)!** Don't miss out on upcoming events, exciting news and special job offers. *InnoIT Consulting, Sony AI*

Follow us on Instagram: **[@bcninvestorsexchange](https://www.instagram.com/bcninvestorsexchange)** Ready to move from theory to real market analysis? In this session, we’ll work on a **live practical case using TradingView**, one of the most powerful tools for investors and traders. This is not a lecture — it’s a hands-on, applied event where we analyze markets the way real investors do. Then we will compare the main indicators used with TIKR, another tool, and how this can be useful for fundamental anaylsis. ### What we’ll do We’ll take a **real asset** (stock, index, crypto, or ETF) and break it down step by step: **Chart analysis** * Timeframes: short vs long term * Identifying trends, ranges, and key levels * Support & resistance zones **Technical tools in action** * Trend lines * Moving averages * RSI / momentum basics * Volume interpretation **Investment thinking** * Is this an entry, wait, or exit zone? * Risk vs reward discussion * Where would we place a stop? * Position sizing logic (conceptual) The goal is not to predict the future — it’s to **learn how to think in probabilities**, manage risk, and read what the market is telling us. ### Who is this for? ✔️ People interested in investing ✔️ Beginners who want to understand charts ✔️ Intermediate investors who want structured analysis ✔️ Anyone curious about how traders actually use TradingView You don’t need to be an expert — just bring curiosity and a willingness to learn. ### What you’ll leave with * A clearer understanding of how to read charts * A structured way to analyze any asset * Better decision-making logic (not emotional trading) * Practical TradingView knowledge you can use immediately Markets are noisy. Strategy is clarity. Let’s open the charts and think like investors. Come to have a beer or a coffee and we can meet and talk about different kinds of investment. **To be accepted on the event, please book your ticket on Eventbrite.** [https://www.eventbrite.es/e/investment-tradingview-practical-case-tickets-1982008059460?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.es/e/investment-tradingview-practical-case-tickets-1982008059460?aff=oddtdtcreator) Put a clear face picture on your profile to be accepted.

None of them technical.** Speaker: [Anemari Fiser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAsj0FIBwsd5kRTr2_wWLQKe-vFNZDCtNlE)\, O’Reilly Author \| Engineering Leader After training and coaching more than 400 tech leads across companies and industries, one pattern keeps repeating: when tech leads struggle, it’s rarely a technical gap. In this talk, Anemari Fiser shares the most common challenges tech leads bring into coaching sessions - overload, unclear expectations, ownership confusion - and assumed alignment, and why “getting better technically” almost never fixes them. Drawing from real coaching and training examples, the talk explores where tech leads get stuck, what they think the problem is, and the small but meaningful shifts that help them move forward. **19:50: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
