Cómo Evoluciona Producto con la IA
**¡Querid@s [#ProductPeople](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=productpeople&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7176297775532302336)!**
Este **miércoles 18 de marzo** nos reunimos en Accenture para conversar sobre cómo la inteligencia artificial está transformando cómo hacemos las cosas y el rol de quienes trabajamos en producto.
La pregunta no es si la IA impactará nuestro trabajo. La pregunta es: **¿qué tipo de profesionales necesitamos ser en este nuevo contexto?**
En esta sesión tendremos a dos speakers de lujo:
🎙 **[Sebastián Tonel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-tonel-a2124522/)** – Delivery Manager de Productos Digitales en Accenture. Seba es líder en tecnología y delivery con más de 15 años construyendo y escalando productos digitales en industrias como la aérea, automotriz, bancaria y minera. Su foco está en cerrar la brecha entre visión y ejecución, promoviendo autonomía, claridad estratégica y culturas de aprendizaje. Nos compartirá su mirada sobre cómo la IA redefine la relación entre producto, negocio y tecnología, y qué capacidades se vuelven críticas para crear valor sostenible en esta nueva era.
🎙 **[Daniela Monje](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniela-monje-ojeda/?locale=en_US)** – Ex NotCo, Nubox y Tenpo
Dani ha trabajado liderando equipos de producto en entornos de alto crecimiento y transformación digital. Con experiencia en compañías que han integrado IA en el corazón de su propuesta de valor, compartirá aprendizajes sobre cómo cambia la toma de decisiones, la experimentación, el discovery y el diseño organizacional cuando la inteligencia artificial deja de ser una feature y se convierte en infraestructura.
💡Algunos temas que hablaremos durante y después de las charlas:
* Cómo evoluciona el rol de PM cuando los equipos pueden prototipar, analizar y automatizar con IA.
* Qué pasa con discovery, delivery y estrategia.
* Nuevas tensiones: autonomía vs. control, velocidad vs. gobernanza.
* Qué habilidades humanas se vuelven más importantes (y no menos).

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.
