Español abajo 👇 ## ENGLISH VERSION Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? 🤔 Yeah. Us too. That's exactly why this exists. 💡 **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. 🍸 **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. 📱 No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup" Just conversations. Real ones. ✨ **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. 🌍 Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene. **The details:** 📍 Sabores Puros — inside Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Saturday \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entry:** $5.000 Come solo. Leave with stories. *Or don't. No one will notice.* 🤷 Follow us on Instagram: [https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy](https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy) *** ## VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL ¿Alguna vez entraste a un cuarto lleno de estranjeros y pensaste *"m·#\*da, por dónde empiezo"*? 🤔 Sí. Nosotros también. Por eso existe esto. 💡 **Qué pasa:** Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. Después jugamos algunos juegos de conversación. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sí en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menú del bar. 🍸 **Pero aquí está lo bueno:** No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aún así irte con un nuevo contacto en tu teléfono. 📱 Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup" Solo conversaciones. Reales. ✨ **Quién viene:** Gente que se mudó aquí 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 qué está pasando en su ciudad. 🌍 Básicamente: todos los que están hartos de la misma escena de siempre. **Los detalles:** 📍 Sabores Puros — Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Sábado \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entrada:** $5.000 Ven solo. Vete con historias. *O no. Nadie se va a dar cuenta.* 🤷 Seguinos en Instagram: [https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy](https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy)

🇪🇸Español Abajo 👇 Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself? Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home — yet longing to belong?

**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 isn’t more data. It’s 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/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll 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.
