Ever been to a comedy open mic and there are eleven dudes on the lineup..? Hey look, don't get us wrong: we LOVE men. Some of our best friends are men! It's just that we'd like to see more women and non-binary folks have the "I could do that" confidence to get up on stage at comedy open mics. And for those fems and thems already doing comedy to have an open mic where they can really grow and shine. So AtoMIC Comedy has teamed up with GoViral Comedy AND the one and only Comedy Clubhouse to bring you a bi-monthly open mic where all you need to be funny is a mic and some Big Mic Energy! Delicious food from Nikki's Kitchen is also available! You can even enjoy your food during the show. This is a TOTALLY FREE show! But space is limited so please [reserve you spot](https://thecomedyclubhouse.es/series/big-mic-energy/)

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

**Automatizar el caos sigue siendo caos.** El reto no es la IA. Es la operación. Muchas empresas ya han lanzado proyectos de IA. Muchas menos están satisfechas con los resultados. El problema rara vez está en la tecnología. Está en lo que la tecnología encuentra al llegar: procesos poco claros, datos dispersos, herramientas desconectadas y operaciones difíciles de escalar. En este encuentro, Boond y rzilient reunirán a perfiles de dirección para hablar de una pregunta muy concreta: cómo preparar las operaciones y la IT para que la automatización genere impacto real en el negocio. **🎙️ Voces invitadas** **Jorge Quintanilla** Head of Skipper en Actual Talent Con experiencia en banca y transformación digital, Jorge compartirá una visión concreta sobre los puntos de fricción entre ambición tecnológica, procesos internos y realidad operativa. **David Morán Cófreces** Responsable comercial en QosmiQ Networks David aportará una perspectiva desde el terreno: cómo se gana la confianza de un cliente en un proyecto tecnológico cuando el reto no es solo la solución, sino la claridad del problema, la operación y la ejecución. **Dos experiencias distintas.** Una misma pregunta: ¿qué hay que estructurar antes de automatizar? **Agenda** 18:00 h Llegada, copa de bienvenida y networking 18:45 h Apertura de la sesión y preguntas al público 18:50 h Caso 1: Jorge Quintanilla, Actual Talent 19:05 h Caso 2: David Morán Cófreces, QosmiQ Networks 19:20 h Cruce de perspectivas entre speakers 19:40 h Preguntas y conversación con el público 19:50 h Dinámica participativa: mitos y realidades sobre IA y operaciones 20:00 h Networking con copas, hasta las 21:00 h **Para quién** Un encuentro diseñado para CEOs, COOs, CTOs, CFOs y equipos de dirección que quieren pasar del discurso sobre la IA a una automatización realmente útil para el negocio. Hablaremos con directivos que se enfrentan al mismo reto: crecer, automatizar y ganar eficiencia sin construir sobre procesos frágiles, datos dispersos o herramientas desconectadas. No habrá pitch comercial. Solo una conversación directa, en formato reducido, entre perfiles de decisión que quieren recuperar visibilidad, control y claridad antes de escalar. **Formato** 📍 Tech Barcelona — Pier 01, Palau de Mar Plaça de Pau Vila, 1, 08003 Barcelona 🕕 16 de junio, de 18:00 a 21:00 h 👥 Aforo limitado: máximo 40 plazas 🍷 Bebidas y comida incluidos 💶 Evento gratuito, plazas sujetas a aprobación Organizado por Boond y rzilient, para ayudar a las empresas a estructurar sus operaciones y su IT antes de automatizar. Solicita tu plaza en Meetup. El aforo es limitado y las solicitudes están sujetas a aprobación.

Buzoku Meetup | Web3 and AI | Barcelona Join us in Sant Gervasi for Buzoku, a bi monthly casual meetup for people building in Web3, AI, and digital systems. What started as a Web3 focused group is now expanding to include AI builders as well. The format No panels No presentations No agenda We meet at a bar, grab a drink, and talk. That is it. Who comes A mix of: • Engineers and technical builders • Founders and operators • Investors and traders • Designers and curious minds Working across: • Crypto, Web3, and digital assets • AI, agents, and applied machine learning You do not need to be working at the intersection. If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

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.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

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.
