**18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan and Giorgio Polvara from Perk**
**19:00 The 2600€ Mistake: How we saved 90% on Cloud Costs by breaking the SSR Myth**
Speaker: [Danilo Velasquez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAXUQZYBfPgAdfwWiNG72HHc5rtHIS9pAWY), Staff Web Platform Engineer and Consultant
When our Astro/React migration reached 8,000 RPS, 100 pods couldn't prevent the crash loops. Discover how mastering Node.js internals—Cluster API, file descriptors, and strict timeouts—slashed our bill from 2,850€ to 250€ while handling 1.6B monthly views. A war story about why "frontend-only" thinking fails on the server.
**19:25 400 Tech Leads. Same problems. None of them technical.**
Speaker: [Anemari Fiser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAsj0FIBwsd5kRTr2_wWLQKe-vFNZDCtNlE)\, O’Reilly Author \| Engineering Leader
After training and coaching more than 400 tech leads across companies and industries, one pattern keeps repeating: when tech leads struggle, it’s rarely a technical gap.
In this talk, Anemari Fiser shares the most common challenges tech leads bring into coaching sessions - overload, unclear expectations, ownership confusion - and assumed alignment, and why “getting better technically” almost never fixes them.
Drawing from real coaching and training examples, the talk explores where tech leads get stuck, what they think the problem is, and the small but meaningful shifts that help them move forward.

Transforming scientific literature into discovery
At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Sony AI, on **Wednesday, February 25th.**
️*Transforming scientific literature into discovery at Sony AI*
The speaker will be **[Miquel Ferrer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miquel-ferrer-5a97651/)** (ML/AI Engineer at Sony AI).
**SUMMARY**
In this talk we will gain insight into how **AI can act as a bridge across domains**, transforming the overwhelming scale of modern research into a **proactive engine for discovery**.
In an era where **thousands of papers are published daily**, even the most specialized experts struggle to stay afloat. However, the sheer volume of global research represents more than a management challenge—it is a **massive, untapped resource for discovery**.
In this session, we will explore how **AI can transform the vast body of scientific literature** into an **interconnected system of concepts and entities**. Moving beyond simple search and efficiency, we discuss how modeling the **evolution of knowledge** enables us to uncover **“scientifically plausible links”**—**hidden connections across domains**, such as **biology and medicine**, that are supported by data but **have not yet been articulated in print**.
By leveraging AI to **bridge these silos**, we can move from **managing what is known** to **predicting the next frontier of scientific breakthroughs**.
**This event is for you if you’re in:** AI/ML, Data & Analytics, NLP/LLMs, Knowledge Graphs/Ontologies, Search/IR, MLOps, or Data Engineering and want to turn research into actionable discovery.
With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food and drinks .**

Product Tank BCN 💥 Build with AI: The Lovable Hackathon
ProductTank Barcelona community!
TLDR; **bring your laptop!**
Ready to build something amazing without writing a single line of code? Join us for an AI-powered hackathon where you’ll create an app using **Lovable** – the no-code platform that turns plain prompts into real products. This is a hands-on excuse to meet other product people, experiment with AI, and see what happens when you build in small groups.
How it works:
* We’ll form small AI building groups – no need to come with a team.
* Each group will collaborate to build an app and share it at the end - **laptop required, one per team**.
* The product brief will be revealed at the start – no prep required!
* All Lovable credits are covered – no fees involved.
* No coding or AI experience needed. This is beginner-friendly and product-minded.
Since spots are limited, please RSVP **only if you’re sure you can commit**. In particular, if you’ve volunteered to bring a laptop, we’re counting on you.
This will be an interactive, high-energy event – not a sit-down lecture.
**Location:** eDreams ODIGEO, Barcelona
**Time:** Doors open at 6:30 PM \| Event starts at 6:45 PM
Don’t forget to bring a valid ID to enter the venue.
Expected agenda:
* **6:30pm - Open door**
* **6:45pm - 7:00pm – Welcome + Hackathon brief**
* **7:00pm - 7:45pm – Team pairings + Build time**
* **7:45pm - 8:00pm – Finalist demo, voting and prizes**
* **8:00pm onwards – Pizza & Drinks for networking**
Come for the build. Stay for the people.
This is networking, just with a bit of AI chaos in between.✨

**Speaker 1: [Alvaro Moya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvarormoya/) \- Spec Driven Development with AI**
AI can generate large amounts of code, but without clear specifications it still produces fragile and inconsistent results, and the real difference between fast output and reliable features lies in how the problem is defined. This talk introduces Spec-Driven Development with AI, a new paradigm that accelerates the whole development workflow, from vague ideas to production-ready code, all while increasing quality.
**Speaker 2: [Nick Zervoudis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nzervoudis/) \- Building a Personal OS That Thinks the Way I Do**
Nick is building a personal operating system using Claude Code, Wispr Flow, and Obsidian - processing all his voice notes, meeting transcripts, articles, and ideas to scale his consultancy. It all runs under a single repo built off plain markdown files.
See you soon!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Free In-Person Events: How to Let Go of the Past and Move Forward
The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience.
And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree.
In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again.
Examples of painful experiences include:
* A broken relationship or divorce.
* Death or loss of a loved one.
* Death of a pet.
* A sudden shock or bad news.
* A betrayal.
* Being part of an abusive relationship.
* A bad injustice.
* Loss of a job, position or business.
* A grave illness or injury.
The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
