**🗣️Talks**
1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform**
🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/)
Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on.
Takeaways:
• BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised.
• Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights.
• What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget
2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana**
🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com).
Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users.
What Attendees Will Learn
• 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack
• 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems
• 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor
• 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment

Los 4 Mundos que dirigen tu vida sin que lo sepas
**[Únete al grupo de WhatsApp para recibir el enlace](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPsrqI5o9xrE3EEPwb2DDn)**
**Muchas personas intentan cambiar su vida actuando solo sobre un área: pensar positivo, motivarse más o “esforzarse”. Sin embargo, los resultados no llegan porque la verdadera transformación ocurre cuando comprendes y alineas los distintos niveles que te gobiernan por dentro.**
En este evento descubrirás los **4 Mundos que influyen directamente en tus decisiones, emociones y resultados**, aunque no seas consciente de ello. Entenderlos te permitirá identificar con claridad dónde se están produciendo tus bloqueos y por qué repites ciertos patrones.
Durante la sesión trabajaremos:
* *Qué son los 4 Mundos y cómo interactúan entre sí*
* *Por qué cambiar solo desde uno genera frustración y retrocesos*
* *Cómo detectar en qué mundo está tu principal bloqueo actual*
* *La relación entre hábitos, pensamientos, emociones y propósito*
* *Claves prácticas para empezar a alinearlos de forma consciente*
Este encuentro está dirigido a personas que sienten estancamiento, confusión o repetición de patrones, y que buscan una comprensión más profunda de sí mismas y de su proceso de cambio.
No se trata de hacer más, sino de entender mejor desde dónde estás viviendo.
***Si quieres claridad, dirección y un mapa interno más consciente, este evento es para ti.***

Challenging the UX Mantras
**UX Salon** is thrilled to welcome you to a special event in collaboration with **[Masters in Design for Responsible AI](https://ai.elisava.net/master/design-responsible-ai/)** hosted at the beautiful auditorium at **[Elisava](https://www.elisava.net).**
**Speaker**
In this talk by **[Irene Pereyra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/irenepereyra/)**, a heretic’s stance is taken on the sacred mantras of UX such as “Good UX is simple,” “Good UX is universal,” and “Good UX is intuitive,” challenging them one by one. Through client and personal projects, the argument is made that good UX design is neither universal nor timeless, but situational and shaped by the context of the here and now. The audience is invited to reconsider what “good” truly means in digital design today.
**Irene Pereyra** is the co-founder of the independent design studio Anton & Irene and the author of Universal Principles of UX (Quarto, 2023), with a second book, The Accessible Design Reference & Specification Book, forthcoming in summer 2026. She is also a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
Irene also works at the intersection of design and policy with the Danish think tank 21st Europe, where she contributes to speculative design Blueprints exploring how Europe is rethinking policy, technology, and design. Her work focuses on making complex systems understandable, human, and future-focused.
**Hosts**
**[Iris Latour](https://www.linkedin.com/in/irisjanelatour/), Director of Research @ [THEFT studio](https://theft.studio)** is a UX research leader working at the intersection of AI, product strategy, and responsible innovation. She is also a student in the MDRAI program, focusing on ethics, systems thinking, and the long-term impact of AI on people and organizations.
**[Andres Colmenares](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrescolmenares/), Director of [MDRAI](https://ai.elisava.net/master/design-responsible-ai/) @ Elisava** is a strategist and creative foresight consultant who has built learning programs from concept to reality at leading design schools and curated gatherings that bring creative communities together. He works at the intersection of futures thinking, strategic design and responsible tech, focusing on collaborative learning, critical thinking and understanding the socio-ecological impacts of AI systems and digital technologies.
**[Master in Design for Responsible AI](https://ai.elisava.net/master/design-responsible-ai/)** by **[Elisava](https://www.elisava.net)** is a pioneering blended-learning program, created in collaboration with [IAM](https://iam-internet.com/), for future leaders of responsible tech looking to develop the critical skills, knowledge and networks needed to design, implement and govern AI systems in ethical, responsible and creative ways.
