At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Back Market, on **January 28th at 6:30 PM**. 🎙️*Applied AI beyond the hype* Two talks on taking AI from theory to real impact: first, a case study on **AI Grading** in the Back Market app—how AI reduces uncertainty during device grading and helps customers price trade-ins more accurately, with key product decisions and lessons from shipping in production. Then, a clear breakdown of what’s behind **GenAI**—LLMs, memory, embeddings, retrieval, agents, and evaluation—plus why **observability, hallucination control, and security** matter to build reliable systems. **SPEAKERS** * **[Estíbaliz Torralbo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/etorralbo/)** (Senior Android Engineer at Back Market) * **[Alessandro Canino](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandro-canino-1a4b91191/)** (Senior AI Engineer at InnoIT) **SUMMARY** **🎙️ AI Grading - Enabling Customers with AI-assisted Quality Assessments,** Estíbaliz Torralbo In this talk, we’ll share how we built **AI Grading, the first AI-powered, customer-facing** feature in the Back Market app, designed to **reduce uncertainty** during the grading step and help users **price their devices more accurately**. We’ll walk through the journey from **product intent to real-world impact:** why **AI grading** mattered, how it supports **customer trust, partner differentiation**, and **growth**, and what it took to bring AI into an existing **trade-in flow without disrupting the experience**. Rather than diving straight into **low-level implementation details**, the focus is on the **practical decisions** and **lessons learned** from **shipping AI in production.** **🎙️ Behind the GenAI Buzzwords**, Alessandro Canino In this talk, we unpack **what really happens behind today’s AI systems**. Starting from the differences between **traditional ML** and **Generative AI**, we’ll clarify how **large language models** use and access information, including different **memory mechanisms**. We’ll then explore **embeddings**, **retrieval**, **agents**, and **evaluation** **strategies**, showing why observability, hallucination control, and security are now first-class engineering problems. The goal is clarity: understanding what GenAI can do well, what it cannot, and how to use it responsibly in real systems. 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:** January 28th 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, Back Market*

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics.

Ray Ray's also has coffee, and the brewery has free water (and Jeni's ice cream). You can come late or leave early. Please just sign up so I know to expect you. **Notes on Parking** * You'll (probably) have to park on the street, but street parking is free on Sundays. * There are [parking garages](https://landgrantbrewing.com/parking/) a little farther away if you want. These are obviously not free, though. * There is a [lot next door](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.0%22N+83%C2%B000'40.9%22W/@39.957211,-83.0119921,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m12!1m7!3m6!1s0x88388f3efd89238b:0xc139207386232411!2sLand-Grant+Brewing+Company!8m2!3d39.9577613!4d-83.011426!16s%2Fg%2F1pzt7t9df!3m3!8m2!3d39.957211!4d-83.011347?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) to the brewery that you're allowed to park in, but it is not free. I've never parked there, so I don't know anything about rates. (I'm told though that if you eat at Milo's Deli next door to this lot that Milo's will stamp your parking so it's free.) * You're going to see odd signs on [Lucas St](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.1%22N+83%C2%B000'40.3%22W/@39.957256,-83.0124134,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zMznCsDU3JzI4LjgiTiA4M8KwMDAnNDEuNSJX!8m2!3d39.957993!4d-83.011536!3m3!8m2!3d39.957256!4d-83.011197?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) (saying it's a "private street") that will lead you to believe you're not allowed to park there, but you actually are. * Columbus parking cops literally do not work on Sundays. This means that, even if you're driving a non-EV, you can park in the EV spots near the brewery. **Games** I do bring many games, but please bring some of your own as well.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years.

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
