No es un evento: Kit para armar tu propio picnic con amigos ☀️
Esto no es un evento al que te sumás.
Es una propuesta distinta:
👉 preparo un kit para que vos armes tu propio picnic o mateada con amigos.
Yo no participo del encuentro.
Hace unos días pasó algo que me encantó.
Personas que se conocieron en mis encuentros de Sabores & Conexión se juntaron en el parque por su cuenta… simplemente porque tenían ganas de volver a verse.
Yo acompañé ese encuentro con un pequeño kit,
y ver lo que pasó me dejó pensando...
🌿Así nació esta propuesta.
Un Kit Sabores & Conexión para que puedas organizar una mateada o picnic con amigos de una forma distinta, sin tener que ocuparte de nada.
Incluye postres caseros para compartir
y pequeñas dinámicas que ayudan a que la conversación aparezca…
y a que surjan charlas inesperadas.
No es solo comida.
Es una pequeña experiencia pensada para compartir.
El kit puede incluir:
🍰 postres caseros
🧉 mate, bombilla y yerba
💌 tarjetas con dinámicas
🍽 servilletas y cucharitas
La dinámica es simple:
Vos elegís el lugar,
vos te organizás con tus amigos,
y yo preparo todo para que solo lleguen y disfruten.
💫 Valor: 36.000
Para compartir entre 6 a 8 personas
(aprox. 4.500 – $6.000 por persona)
Si te interesa o te da curiosidad,
podés escribirme por WhatsApp y lo vemos juntos:

This is not an event you can join.
It’s a different kind of proposal:
👉 I prepare a kit so you can create your own picnic or “mate-style” gathering with friends.
I don’t attend the meetup.
A few days ago, something really beautiful happened.
People who met at my Sabores & Conexión gatherings decided to meet in the park on their own… simply because they wanted to see each other again.
I sent them a small kit to accompany that moment, and what came out of it really stayed with me.
🌿That’s how this idea was born.
A Sabores & Conexión kit designed to help you organize a picnic or gathering with friends in a different way — without having to take care of everything.
It includes homemade desserts to share
and simple conversation prompts that help connection happen naturally…
and allow unexpected moments to unfold.
It’s not just food.
It’s a small, thoughtful experience to share.
The kit may include:
🍰 Homemade desserts
🧉 Mate, yerba and bombilla
💌 Conversation cards
🍽 Napkins and small utensils
How it works:
You choose the place,
you organize with your friends,
and I prepare everything so you can simply arrive and enjoy.
💫 Price: 36,000 ARS
For 6 to 8 people
(approx. 4,500–6,000 ARS per person)

AI Generativa, Comunicación y Networking | Women in Cloud BA Meetup
En este meetup de **Women in Cloud Argentina** nos encontramos en las oficinas de AWS para compartir una noche de **aprendizaje y networking**.
Tendremos dos charlas breves que combinan **comunicación y tecnología**, dos habilidades clave para crecer en el mundo tech.
Primero vamos a explorar herramientas concretas para **animarse a hablar en público y compartir ideas con confianza**.
Luego nos vamos a meter en uno de los grandes desafíos actuales: **cómo evaluar correctamente sistemas de IA generativa** y entender si realmente funcionan.
Después de las charlas tendremos un espacio de **networking entre las asistentes** para conocernos, intercambiar experiencias y seguir fortaleciendo la comunidad.
### **🎤 Hablar en público empieza por decir: ¡sí!**
**Julieta Cane**
Una charla sobre cómo dar el primer paso para compartir ideas en público: técnicas para hablar con seguridad, gestionar el miedo escénico y conectar con la audiencia.
### **🎤 Más allá del vibe check: cómo evaluar sistemas de IA generativa**
**Martina Fernández Irungaray**
Cómo saber si un sistema de IA generativa realmente funciona. Exploraremos métricas, evaluación automática y por qué esto es clave para pasar de prototipo a sistema confiable.
📍 **Evento presencial en oficinas de AWS**
⚠️ **Cupos limitados**
Para poder ingresar al edificio es **obligatorio registrarse previamente en Meetup y enviarnos tus datos**.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:

• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:

This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
