## ENGLISH VERSION
Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? đ€
Yeah. Us too.
That's exactly why this exists. đĄ
**What's happening:**
We get a group of locals, foreigners, travelers, and random interesting humans in one room. Then we play some conversation games. Simple stuff. Cards with questions. Getting people to actually talk to each other instead of standing around pretending to read the bar menu. đž
**But here's the thing:**
You don't have to be fluent. You don't need to be outgoing. You can literally show up alone, stand in a corner, and still leave with a new contact in your phone. đ±
No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup"
Just conversations.
Real ones. âš
**Who comes:**
People who moved here and don't know anyone. People who speak three languages and want to practice a fourth. Travelers killing time before their next flight. Locals curious about what's happening in their city. đ
Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene.
**The details:**
đ Sabores Puros â inside Sileo Hotel
Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta
đ Saturday \| 18:00 â 20:00
đ **Entry:** $5.000
Come solo. Leave with stories.
*Or don't. No one will notice.* đ€·

## VERSIĂN EN ESPAĂOL
ÂżAlguna vez entraste a un cuarto lleno de estranjeros y pensaste *"m·#\*da, por dĂłnde empiezo"*? đ€
SĂ. Nosotros tambiĂ©n.
Por eso existe esto. đĄ
**Qué pasa:**
Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. DespuĂ©s jugamos algunos juegos de conversaciĂłn. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sĂ en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menĂș del bar. đž
**Pero aquĂ estĂĄ lo bueno:**
No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aĂșn asĂ irte con un nuevo contacto en tu telĂ©fono. đ±
Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup"
Solo conversaciones.
Reales. âš
**Quién viene:**
Gente que se mudĂł aquĂ y no conoce a nadie. Gente que habla tres idiomas y quiere practicar un cuarto. Viajeros matando tiempo antes de su siguiente vuelo. Locales curiosos sobre quĂ© estĂĄ pasando en su ciudad. đ
BĂĄsicamente: todos los que estĂĄn hartos de la misma escena de siempre.
**Los detalles:**
đ Sabores Puros â Sileo Hotel
Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta
đ SĂĄbado \| 18:00 â 20:00
đ **Entrada:** $5.000
Ven solo. Vete con historias.

đżHorneamos juntos, merienda y charla autenticaâš
Un encuentro para bajar un cambio, desconectar del ritmo de la semana y compartir un momento distinto con otras personas.
En Sabores & ConexiĂłn la excusa siempre es la mesa. **Esta vez nos reunimos alrededor de ella para hornear juntos âš**
Tranqui! **También habrå merienda, espacio para la conversación y propuestas para conectar.**
La idea es regalarnos una pausa.
Un espacio para mimarnos mientras hacemos algo rico con las manos.
**La receta en cuestiĂłn es la famosa Carrot Cake đ„đ°,** uno de los clĂĄsicos de la cafeterĂa de especialidad.
Mezclaremos ingredientes, nos divertiremos con complicidad y pondremos literalmente las manos en la masa.
**Cada persona hornearĂĄ su propio budĂn para llevar a casa.**
Mientras el horno hace su magia y la casa se llena de ese perfume irresistible de algo reciĂ©n horneado, compartiremos una merienda en mi hogar con mate đ§, cafĂ© â o tĂ©, conversaciĂłn y dinĂĄmicas que nos invitan a vincularnos de forma autĂ©ntica.
**Como siempre, sucede en mi casa y el grupo es pequeño** para cuidar la intimidad del encuentro.
**đ„ Solo 5 lugares**
**đ Colegiales**
**â SĂĄbado 30, 4 PM**

\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
A gathering to slow down, disconnect from the rhythm of the week and share a different kind of moment with others.
**At Sabores & ConexiĂłn, the table is always the excuse.**
**This time, we gather around it to bake together âš**
Relax! **There will also be a shared snack, space for conversation and gentle prompts to connect.**
The idea is to gift ourselves a pause.
A space to unwind while doing something delicious with our hands.
**The recipe weâll be making is the famous Carrot Cake đ„đ°**, one of the classics of specialty coffee shops.
Weâll mix ingredients, enjoy the moment together and literally get our hands in the batter.
**Each person will bake their own cake to take home.**
While the oven does its magic and the house fills with that irresistible freshly-baked aroma, weâll share a cozy snack in my home with mate đ§, coffee â or tea, conversation and connection dynamics that invite us to relate in a genuine way.
**As always, this takes place in my home and the group is small t**o preserve the intimacy of the experience.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals⊠all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isnât more data. Itâs often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)âs CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behaviorâmoving people, and moving metrics. Youâll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## đ€ Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
đĄ About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations â not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption â no guesswork required.
đ ïž What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
đ Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
