Tips for a great event Be descriptive A good title immediately gives people an idea of what the event is about. Get organized Describe things in a clear order so it's easy to digest. Start with an overall description of the event and include a basic agenda, before you move into really specific details. Add an image Upload a photo or image to give members a better feel for the event.

Let's back to run ! We will meet by the Magic Fountain (Font Magica de Montjuic ([https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2](https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2))) - Plaça de Carles Buïgas at the end of the first stairs - just 2 minutes walking from placa Espana towards Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. We'll decide the route on the day.. or just follow Olivier... ;) We'll meet at 7:30pm but we'll start running at 7:35pm. Please be on time. Normally we do about 8-10kms in an hour during which we climb to the castle at the top of Montjuic. The accumulated elevation is about 300m depending on the route. Note that this is *NOT* a beginner's run. It can be quite challenging. We recommend that you only join this run if, on a flat course, you can do 10km in 50mins or less or really like running up hill! If not it might be better to first start with one of the beach runs on Tuesday or Thursday. Starting from October it is getting dark pretty early and not all the streets of the route have lights. If you have a headlamp please bring it with you but it is not mandotory. Let´s do the entire route together and after the training we can go as usual for a fresh drink at a bar nearby De vuelta en el Montjuic ! Quedamos en la Plaça de Carles Buïgas (donde está la Font Magica de Montjuic), exactamente aquí ([https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2](https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2)), al lado de la barandilla que está al final de las primeras escaleras. Si vienes desde plaça Espanya, son 2 minutos caminando en dirección al Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Cada lunes hacemos un recorrido distinto por Montjuic que decidimos en el mismo día… o sencillamente seguimos a Olivier… ;) Nos encontramos a las 7:30, y empezamos a correr a las 7:35. Normalmente hacemos más o menos 8-10 km en una hora, subiendo hasta el castillo en la cima de Montjuic, con un desnivel positivo total de cerca de 300 metros. Es un entrenamiento exigente aunque accesible si ya tienes algo de experiencia corriendo. No está hecho para debutante. Por favor apúntate solo si puedes correr 10km en 50 minutos mas o menos. De octubre a mayo el recorrido es de noche por lo que es recomendable llevar frontal, aunque si no tienes, no hace falta. Realizamos todo el recorrido juntos y después del entreno solemos ir a tomar algo a un bar cercano. Monday is Montjuic track example [https://www.strava.com/activities/926870931](https://www.strava.com/activities/926870931) [https://www.strava.com/activities/5431087155](https://www.strava.com/activities/5431087155) [https://www.strava.com/activities/5275162408](https://www.strava.com/activities/5275162408) OIivier

The music industry is evolving rapidly. We’re moving from traditional A&R and organic luck to generative production and algorithmic chart dominance. Today, music charts operate exactly like SEO in search requests, and the entire playing field is transforming before our eyes. It’s time to sync up and discuss how to engineer hits, evaluate trends, and scale these tools effectively. ​Join us this Wednesday (June 17) with Valey Sharipov for a deep dive "alchemy session" into generative music production and the mechanics of modern hit-making. ​Key Topics: ​**Generative Music Production:** Practical patterns and workflows for creating high-quality, market-ready tracks using the latest AI audio tools. ​**Chart SEO & Controlled Virality:** Understanding how streaming platforms rank music. We'll explore how to reverse-engineer the algorithms and engineer predictable viral moments for your releases. ​**Audience Preference Evaluation:** Data-driven approaches and AI analytics to measure what listeners actually want to hear, minimizing the guesswork in hit-making. ​**The Business of Gen-Audio:** Moving from experimental generation to real monetization—how to build a production pipeline that brings clear, tangible money to artists and producers. ​Open Discussion: Bring your own tracks, use cases, failures, and breakthroughs. Whether it's bypassing algorithmic platform biases, managing erratic audio generation behavior, or building the perfect release strategy — let’s figure it out together.

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: What**: PRAGMA: Revolut Foundation Model https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.08649 **Summary**: We'll discuss a paper about a new kind of foundation model for banking. Instead of building separate models for fraud detection, credit scoring, customer engagement, and dozens of other tasks, the authors train a single model that learns a general representation of a person's financial behavior and reuse it everywhere. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maksim Ostroukhov 💬 **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!

And we are finally back after [GrafanaCON](https://grafana.com/events/grafanacon/), and this time we'll be visiting **[eDreams ODIGEO](https://www.meetup.com/edotechtalks-barcelona/)**'s office with our friends from [Fivetran](https://www.fivetran.com/) 🎉 📍**Location**: eDreams ODIGEO Barcelona Office: c/ Bailén 67\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/FWvCoa9vNpbpN9pv5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/FWvCoa9vNpbpN9pv5) ⚠️ Remember to fill in the event disclaimer form [https://forms.gle/M8FFYftN7JzX7n1aA](https://forms.gle/M8FFYftN7JzX7n1aA) to access the building ⚠️ And here is a sneak peek of our agenda 👇 📅 **Agenda** **18:45**: Check-in and welcome 👋 **19:10:** 🎙️ **"AI-Ready Data - What Got Us Here Won't Get Us There"**, [Andrew Madson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-madson/) \- Head of Developer Relations at [Fivetran](https://www.fivetran.com/). AI provides an incredible opportunity for innovation and disruption, but there's a problem. The data that powers AI is built for humans, and Agents require a new stack - one that is open, interoperable, and free from vendor lock-in. The principles of open data infrastructure enable humans and their agents to create powerful workflows without vendor lock-in. **19:40** 🎙️ **"AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents"**, [Sonia Aguilar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-aguilar-01378512a/) \- Staff Software Engineer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/). AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model. **20:10 - 21:00**: Networking & Drinks 🍻🍕 See you there 👋 Grafana & Friends Barcelona

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
