We will meet at La Querida, Passeig de Pujades 33, [https://goo.gl/maps/u5ZpycVXeZb7XyeE9](https://goo.gl/maps/u5ZpycVXeZb7XyeE9) You can leave your stuff there and we will begin running from outside the bar. A description of the route is below for your information. Before the run, we take a group photo and after we drink and/or eat at the bar (not mandatory). We will chat a bit before starting to run. The distance is about 10 kilometers (\~6 miles). However, there are plenty of opportunities to turn back before and sometimes people run a shorter distance. Each person runs at her/his own pace. Most of the time people are talking/chatting so it's honestly a casual run. Mini groups tend to form according to pace. Please note people run at their own risk and please if you have any medical condition make sure you let someone know and be sensible, run within your abilities. And don't forget to check our [facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/319006355235925/) for news and activities! We kick off by running into the Ciutadella Park via the main gate. We then take a right to exit the park and immediately take a left to run alongside the round wall of the zoo (Passeig de Cicumvallacio). We then turn right at Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas and head towards the beach. We then take a left turn and run along the beach heading northeast. Along the coast, we cross the Passeig Maritim de la Mar Bella for a quick stop at the water fountain and then turn back. The main change on the way back is that we turn right at the tram station along the other wall of the zoo (continuation of Carrer de Wellington) and once we reach the end of the wall, we are back to Passeig Pujades where we end our run.

Join us for a very special **Hack & Tell** hosted by **Allianz Technology**! We’ve curated a lineup of **four talks spread across 2 tracks** that dive into the intersection of high-end research and creative engineering - plus plenty of time to meet other AI engineers, researchers and founders over pizza and drinks. This time, we’ll be looking at how AI is built and deployed across four distinct domains: 🎵 Training AI on personal musical styles 🖊️ Building editable vectorial design systems 👤 The math behind real-time avatars ⚙️ Managing context within large-scale agentic workflows **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🗓 **Agenda** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **18:00** – Doors open *(Arrive early for security)* **18:30** – Start of Talks *(You can switch tracks between talks)* **Track 1:** * Teaching AI to Make Music Like I Do * Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline **Track 2:** * Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI * Managing Context Bloat in Agentic Workflows **20:00** – Networking *(Pizza & Drinks)* **21:00** – End **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 📍 **Location** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** [Allianz Technology, Av. d'Icària, 199, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Allianz+Technology/@41.3939789,2.1971547,1145m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a34d7c19ee79:0x4b6de71e7cf72dd8!8m2!3d41.3939749!4d2.1997296!16s%2Fg%2F11fqq5rg6h?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIPu8ASoASAFQAw%3D%3D&skid=5dca3ee1-5bdf-4435-ac07-8d823898778f) ⚠️ **Important:** Registration with **DNI/NIE** is required (\*) **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎵👤 Track 1** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Bianca Cheng** **–** **Teaching AI to Make Music Like I Do** Bianca is a musician, designer, and technologist (formerly at Apple and MIT Media Lab) who approaches engineering with a creative soul. She’ll be sharing her work with HeartMula, a project where she trained models on recordings of her own songs. Learn how she uses AI as a collaborative partner to explore new musical ideas while staying true to her unique creative voice. 🎤 **Arnab Dey & Marcel Alcoverro (UNITH) – Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline** What does it actually take to turn an image into a real-time photorealistic human avatar? Arnab (Senior Research Engineer) and Marcel (Head of AI) will walk through the full engineering stack behind a live interactive avatar: from LLM-driven speech synthesis and autoregressive 3D motion generation to Gaussian Splatting rendering streamed at 60 FPS. This talk dives into the research models powering visual avatars, the hard latency trade-offs that shape every design decision, and what production MLOps looks like when your service is a human face. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🖊️⚙️ Track 2** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Xesca Alabart (Gluecharm) – Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI** Why do most AI design tools give you code instead of editable design objects? Current tools like v0 or Bolt often leave designers stuck in a "prompt loop" - where even a minor layout tweak requires a new prompt rather than a simple click-and-drag. Xesca, creator of Penpot Wizard, is pioneering a fundamentally different path. Her talk introduces a Vectorial AI-driven methodology that treats the canvas as a live environment rather than a code-generation target. By designing with AI and Vectorial Design as a structural foundation, Penpot Wizard generates native design objects—shapes, paths, and components—that designers can edit normally. It’s about moving past the prompt-only bottleneck to provide a functional, editable starting point for real-world UX. 🎤 **Gabriel Llauradó Queralt (Allianz Technology) - Investigator: A Multi-Agent System That Digs into Tickets** Every Jira ticket hides a trail across code, databases, logs, and half-forgotten Slack decisions. Gabriel built Investigator using LangGraph, with specialist agents for code, DB, Jira, OpenSearch, Confluence, GitHub and Vision — Orchestrated by a Planner, Router, Critic and Evaluator that argue with each other until the evidence holds up. He'll walk through the architecture, the prompts that actually work, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and lessons learned making LLMs reason about real enterprise codebases. **See you soon!** *(\*) You will greatly help us by providing your DNI/NIE upfront when you RSVP. It is solely used for access to the building and will not be used or stored for any other purpose. In any case, you can also answer with "I want to register onsite".

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
