No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t **What we talk about (but not limited to):** \*Agentic coding workflows and tooling * Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice \*Multi-agent architectures and orchestration * AI-native product building \*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

Anybody who is interested in meeting other individual investors, line up! During the meeting, we will discuss current opportunities we see in the market, industries, stocks, evaluation methods; undervalued growth stocks, your favorite books and many more! Bring your preferred electronic device (phone, ipad, PC) and your curiosity. AGENDA: \- Self\-introduction \- Investing Style \- What to expect from public company investing \- Industry/sector \- Checks you run before an investment A chill conversation revolving around investing and businesses.

## **Details** **LUMA REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND:** https://luma.com/wox7xulo 🚀 Hiring is changing. Are you?

Favor confirmar através del WhatsApp +351914149287 Tema: Las Constelaciones Familiares son una técnica de la medicina holística creada por Bert Hellinger y que nos permite mirar desde otra perspectiva nuestra vida presente. En ellas se da un nuevo espacio a acontecimientos pasados, comprendiendo todo lo vivido y de ese modo se ubican las emociones en otro lugar más sano, en el lugar correcto, liberándonos de cualquier lastre del pasado que pudiéramos tener. La terapia con Constelaciones Familiares revela que muchos de nuestros sentimientos, comportamientos y síntomas no están en realidad vinculados a nuestra propia historia personal, sino que tienen su origen en una lealtad familiar inconsciente que pretende que cada generación reanude los conflictos no regulados de las generaciones anteriores. Las Constelaciones Familiares permiten poner luz sobre estos conflictos y repararlos para liberar a los que los llevan y a sus futuras generaciones.

**El Arte de la Guerra: Cómo lograr tus objetivos a través de la estrategia y la mentalidad** Vivimos en una sociedad donde muchas personas trabajan duro, pero no siempre avanzan en la dirección que desean. A menudo creemos que el éxito depende únicamente del esfuerzo, cuando en realidad la diferencia suele estar en la estrategia, la claridad mental y la capacidad de tomar decisiones acertadas. En esta conferencia exploraremos algunas de las enseñanzas más valiosas de El arte de la guerra, una obra clásica sobre estrategia que, más de dos mil años después, sigue siendo utilizada en ámbitos tan diversos como los negocios, el liderazgo, el desarrollo personal y la consecución de objetivos. A través de un enfoque práctico y contemporáneo, descubriremos cómo aplicar estos principios para afrontar desafíos, superar obstáculos y avanzar con mayor inteligencia hacia nuestras metas personales y profesionales. **Temas que abordaremos** \* Los principios fundamentales de la estrategia según Sun Tzu. \* La importancia de conocerse a uno mismo y comprender el entorno. \* Cómo definir objetivos claros y desarrollar un plan efectivo para alcanzarlos. \* Gestión de recursos: tiempo, energía, atención y disciplina. \* La mentalidad estratégica frente a la improvisación constante. \* Cómo convertir los obstáculos en oportunidades de crecimiento. \* Liderazgo personal y toma de decisiones en momentos de incertidumbre. \* La diferencia entre reaccionar y actuar con propósito. **¿Para quién es esta conferencia?** Para cualquier persona interesada en mejorar su capacidad para alcanzar objetivos, desarrollar una mentalidad más sólida, tomar mejores decisiones y aprender a aplicar principios estratégicos en su vida personal, profesional o empresarial. No se requieren conocimientos previos. El contenido será accesible, práctico y orientado a la reflexión y la acción. **Qué te llevarás** Una nueva perspectiva sobre el logro de objetivos, herramientas para pensar de forma más estratégica y una serie de principios atemporales que podrás aplicar inmediatamente en tus proyectos, relaciones, carrera profesional y desarrollo personal. La victoria pertenece a quien ha preparado mejor la estrategia antes de comenzar la batalla." – Inspirado en las enseñanzas de Sun Tzu. 👤 **Instructor:** 🔗 **LinkedIn:** [www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas) **Colaboración**: La conferencia se impartirá desde el espacio redConsciencia, en C/Diputació 164. Se pedirá un donativo para la agrupación de 5€ (costes organización). Efectivo, No Bizum. **Dirigido a:** profesionales, emprendedores, coaches, líderes de equipo y cualquier persona que desee fortalecer su mentalidad, carácter y capacidad de influencia.

Long Live the Silo.](https://uxdx.com/session/the-silo-is-dead-long-live-the-silo/) This talk explores how AI is reshaping ownership, craft and collaboration in cross-functional teams, and why the specialists who feel most threatened might actually be the ones who matter most. Expect honest observations and some uncomfortable questions. **Talk by Mert Tas -** [AI, Collaboration, and Hidden Tradeoffs of Product Teams](https://uxdx.com/session/ai-collaboration-and-hidden-tradeoffs-of-product-teams/) Generative AI is changing how product, design, and engineering teams work together, from how ideas are explored to how decisions are discussed and documented. In this session, Mert will share practical experiences from working on complex design and personalization products at Vistaprint: where AI genuinely improves quality, shared context, and speed, and where it risks creating shallow alignment, coordination overhead, or endless artifact generation instead of deeper thinking. The session is intended less as a prescription and more as an honest reflection on the new collaboration tradeoffs many teams are already starting to feel. ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
