**Hi Barcelona! 👋** How is AI fundamentally changing the way we understand our users and build our products? Join us for an evening of deep dives into the intersection of human psychology and AI-driven development at our Barcelona Hub. We are excited to host two of our Senior Product Designers, who will share their expertise on how design is evolving from static interfaces to intelligent, behavioural systems. 📅 Wednesday, May 20th 📍 eDreams ODIGEO Barcelona Office ⌚️ Check-in: 18:45 – 19:15 🕖 Presentations start at 19:10 🎤 **The Lineup:** 1️⃣ **Motivational Design in the Age of AI** Presented by **Denise Giorgio,** Senior Product Designer at eDreams ODIGEO. What truly drives digital engagement today? Denise will explore *human behaviour, digital engagement, and what AI makes possible.* 2️⃣ **Building AI with AI** Presented by **Ardwin Hernandez,** Senior Product Designer at eDreams ODIGEO. *"We are moving from designing interfaces to building intelligent systems—and AI is both the medium and the collaborator. In this talk, I’ll share how we built an AI Trip Planner by using AI itself across the entire process: from shaping the idea to generating UI, prototyping flows, and accelerating development. This is not just a case study, but a new way of thinking about product design—where designers evolve into AI builders."* **Networking & Drinks** After the talks, stay with us for some quality networking! It’s the perfect time to connect with the speakers, meet your peers in the Barcelona tech and design scene, and enjoy some pizza and drinks on us. 🎫 **Registration** The event is free, but space is limited.

At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams. *By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)** A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team). This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios. *By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **InnoIT** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎉 ¡Ya está aquí nuestro siguiente evento!** Después del éxito del estreno, estamos encantados de anunciar el siguiente evento de Claude Code Barcelona. ¡No te pierdas estas dos charlas y su correspondiente networking, esta vez gracias a nuestro nuevo host, InnoIT! **⚠️** E**l aforo es limitado .** Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes.

En Kovant, lo aprendimos por las malas, pasando por cuatro etapas de prueba y error antes de dar con algo que realmente funciona a escala. En esta charla, el CTO de Kovant compartirá la historia sincera detrás de ese recorrido y revelará el enfoque que finalmente hizo que funcionara para nuestros equipos. *Por Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor (en Español)** Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en tareas de reconocimiento y fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team), y también como apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team). Esta charla explora qué significa realmente ser hacker, desmontando mitos y conceptos erróneos, y se adentra en un laboratorio práctico con Claude Code, cubriendo su configuración, el contexto y las reglas de uso. Se introduce MCP como el mecanismo que permite a los modelos interactuar con herramientas, y se recorren distintos objetivos y metodologías de testing. A través de ejercicios prácticos, se muestra cómo detectar vulnerabilidades en una web, interpretar resultados de Nmap para priorizar riesgos y definir siguientes pasos, y finalmente cómo Claude Code también puede apoyar al blue team, demostrando su valor tanto en escenarios ofensivos como defensivos. *Por Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, **InnoIT**🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos!🍕🧃 ¡No te lo pierdas! 🎉

Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona
