We’re thrilled to announce a special edition of BcnRust taking place inside the **Talent Arena at Mobile World Congress 2026**, thanks to the collaboration between the **[Rust Foundation](https://rustfoundation.org)** and **[Mobile World Capital Barcelona](https://mobileworldcapital.com/)**. This unique event brings together hands‑on workshops, a community meetup, and exclusive access for Rust developers across Spain — including our friends from **[MadRust](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/madrust/)**, represented by our meetup speaker **[Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/)**. **📅 Schedule — Wednesday, March 4th** **Workshop 1 — General Access** 9:30h – 10:45h **When Floats Lie:** *Performance, and why Rust keeps AI from corroding* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) "Floating-point numbers are prone to subtle failure modes that erode performance and correctness. We will build a small quantization framework in Rust, evolving step by step as we move from numeric fundamentals to Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) for AI inference. You’ll learn how quantization works at the bit level, and why Rust is becoming critical infrastructure for high-performance, resource-constrained, AI-driven systems." This session is free to attend. Simply register at: 👉 [https://talentarena.tech](https://talentarena.tech) **Community Meetup — XPRO Access** 13:30h – 14:30h (extended until 14:50 if needed) **Make Rusty AI** *Building an agent from scratch using Rust and open‑source tools* **Speaker:** [Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/) (MadRust) "Artificial intelligence has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives. Assistants are now capable of performing tasks that were once science fiction, and we’ve started integrating them into our daily routines. But do you fully understand the concepts at play? Can you distinguish between a chatbot and an agent? Could you write your own AI tools? In this talk, we’ll build an agent from scratch using Rust and open-source tools. While the session will involve live-coding, the focus will be on understanding the core concepts and applications of artificial intelligence. It’s an opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the way we interact with computing—and how you can contribute to this revolution." Join us for a deep dive into practical Rust‑powered AI, followed by community discussion and networking with Rustaceans from Barcelona, Madrid, and beyond. **Workshop 2 — XPRO Access** 16:45h – 18:00h **From fRusTrait‑ion to Async Mastery**: *Become a Rust Trait Hero in 90 minutes* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) **🎟️ About the XPRO Passes** Thanks to the Rust Foundation, we have **150 XPRO passes** available for the community.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**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.

Session Abstract ### **Data Cleansing using Data Bricks** Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.

One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization. We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
