**Event Summary** 5 minutes. Two woman. A spark. Rotate through 1-on-1 conversations with 15+ women in tech and find your next partner, mentor, co-founder, or collaborator. **Description** Want to meet interesting women in tech without the pressure? This is speed networking — a gentle, human format where you have 1-on-1 conversations with women you'd actually want to know. No pitches. No performing. Just real talks with real people. **How it works:** You sit across from someone. You have 5 minutes to talk. Ask each other what you're building, what you're curious about, what you're working through. A soft bell rings. You move to the next person. By the end of 90 minutes, you've met a dozen women — some become collaborators, some become friends, some just remind you why you love this work. **Who's this for?** Woman in tech, Founders, engineers, designers, product managers, mentors, marketing, etc. anyone building or exploring in tech. Early-stage or scaling. Experienced or just starting. All we ask is genuine curiosity and an open heart. Whether you're looking for a co-founder, a mentor, a peer who gets it, or just interesting people to learn from — there's space for you here. **Why this format?** It feels like a real conversation, not networking. Because it is. Meet quality over quantity. 5 minutes is enough to know if there's real connection. Unexpected friendships. Sometimes the person who changes your trajectory isn't who you were looking for. Share what you know. If you've got experience, there's someone here who'd love to learn from you. If you're early-stage, there's someone who remembers what that felt like. Just women being humans together. No competition. No ego. Just real. **What to bring:** Yourself. Your ideas. Your phone (LinkedIn app open and ready). We'll provide prompts to get conversations started if you need them. After the event you can stay for a non-structured networking to keep going the conversation. We'll add you to a WhatsApp group so you can follow up with the people you connected with. The magic happens in the DMs — so show up ready to be proactive. **WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL)

Hola, amigos y amigas de Buscando Amigos y Música: Queremos comentarles que, a partir de esta semana, comenzará cada miércoles en la Cueva de Lobos la mejor rumba flamenca, rumba catalana. En el barrio donde nació este género tan alegre y efusivo, tendremos el privilegio de tener grandes artistas, los mejores de la escena barcelonesa, cada miércoles desde las 21:00 en adelante. Es recomendable hacer reservas porque la sala es relativamente pequeña y siempre se llena mucho. Es realmente una fiesta que no pueden perderse. Les invitamos a compartir cada miércoles con nosotros la mejor rumba catalana en la cueva, el templo de los músicos en Barcelona. Francisco Giner 23, teléfono de contacto: +34 62 424 5042.

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: Beyond Transformers & Multimodal Frontiers** This is part of the scientific paper reading club. This Saturday, we are expanding our horizons beyond standard LLMs! Following our recent discussions, we will be diving into points 3 and 5 from our reading list presentation: **Alternative architectures (SSM/RNN)** and **Multimodal foundation models**. To make it even more exciting, we will be connecting these topics to some of the freshest breakthroughs presented at the recent ICLR conference ([https://iclr.cc/](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Ficlr.cc%2F)). **What to expect:** Our presenter, Maxim Musin, will guide us through these two major frontiers in modern AI: 1. **Alternative Architectures (SSM/RNN):** Transformers are incredibly powerful, but their computational costs remain a massive bottleneck for long contexts. We will discuss why State Space Models (SSMs) like Mamba are emerging as the next big leap. We will look at fresh ICLR[[1](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvertexaisearch.cloud.google.com%2Fgrounding-api-redirect%2FAUZIYQGC4niR9aCGjHBT9LMF4wz46OkiGKU9B7nghuo3OzbRQCWNy4fGizlUydBsvuhZgYay8Y31rCTrfquWnuEHjAibPui0IrBi71JMXQG59U0rk5DKa-hzJg%3D%3D)] insights, such as "Mamba-3: Improved Sequence Modeling using State Space Principles" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.15569](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2603.15569) and "MambaSL: Exploring Single-Layer Mamba for Time Series Classification" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.15174](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2604.15174) 2. **Multimodal Foundation Models:** We will explore how AI is learning to "think" natively across different continuous spaces and complex interactions. We will touch on standout ICLR papers like "Massively Multimodal Foundation Models: A Framework for Capturing Interactions with Specialized Mixture-of-Experts" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25678](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2509.25678) and "Theory of Space: Can Foundation Models Construct Spatial Beliefs through Active Exploration?" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07055](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2602.07055) You don't need a heavy math background to join—Maxim will break down the intuition behind these complex architectures so that the core concepts are easy to follow for everyone. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maxim Musin 💬 **Language of the meeting:** English 🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur 📍 **Location:** Maui coworking (Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses. Here is the exact address: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/fjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9?g_st=ac](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Ffjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9%3Fg_st%3Dac) ) Looking forward to a great discussion this Saturday! Aparently there is no way of fixing meetup's markdown mess, sorry for this guys, just use your abstract imagination and experience with latech to read anouncement, this markdown render problem seem so be some kind of bug, i cleaned it in the redactor but with no effect, probably copying and pasting it clean into editor will solve it, but generating clean landing page with similar capabilities in claude code would also solve it in a way, so i didn't bother, see you at saturday

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **July 2nd**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by [InnoIT Consulting](https://www.inno-it.es/en/) 📍**Location**: C/ Diputació\, 280\, Bajos 2ª · Barcelona \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/CnaqHvZnv32T8Un47 \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:15** **I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** \- Matīss Treinis * **19:15 - 19:45** **DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** \- Vicent Soria * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** * **Speaker**: **[Matīss Treinis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matisst/)** \- Creator and Author\, [SpecDD](https://specdd.ai/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Introduction to SpecDD, a Specification-driven development framework that enables humans and AI agents to build better software. * **About**: I have spent most of my life building things. Close to twenty years of production platforms, infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tooling, and the organisational structures around them. My background is in software engineering and architecture, but most of my work has lived where product requirements, developer tooling, infrastructure, delivery process, and team structure all meet. I build the systems around the software as much as the software itself. I have run full technology functions end-to-end: development, architecture, DevOps, delivery, hiring, vendor strategy, and operational structure. A lot of my career has been spent taking environments that are unstable, fragmented, or afraid to ship, and turning them into organisations that can move quickly without collapsing under their own weight. I still work hands-on every day. I write code, work in infrastructure, and stay close to the actual problems instead of managing them from a distance. *** * **Title: DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** * **Speaker**: **[Vicent Soria](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicentsoria/)** \- Fractional Infrastructure Engineer @ [techabreath.com](https://techabreath.com/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About**: I work with management and technical teams to connect strategy with execution. My goal is to transform technology from an obstacle into a business driver. I act as a fractional CTO, DevOps engineer, or technology consultant, depending on each client's needs at any given time. I provide a practical and strategic perspective, helping to make impactful technology decisions: those that accelerate projects, improve processes, and align technology with business objectives. \-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport" field** when registering!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
