Write Club - Write Together, Think Together.
**Español abajo đ**
## WRITE CLUB â Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles
Ever opened a blank document, stared at it for 40 minutes, and somehow ended up reorganizing your Spotify playlists instead? âïž
Yeah.
That's why this exists.
What's happening:
A group of strangers sits down together and writes.
That's basically it.
But also⊠not really.
Sometimes it's creative writing.
Stories. Poetry. Journaling. Random thoughts you haven't said out loud yet.
Other weeks it's more practical:
newsletters, posts, project ideas, applications, personal branding stuff, business writing, whatever you've been avoiding finishing. đ»
**At the beginning**, we share a small creative prompt or mini input.
Something to get your brain moving.
But nothing is strict here.
You can follow the theme, or work on your own thing.
You can write in your native language or one that you're learning.
People help each other here. That's part of the idea. đ
And the important part:
**you're not writing alone.**
You can ask questions.
Get feedback.
Exchange ideas.
Or just quietly sit with your coffee and finally focus for two hours without your phone destroying your attention span. đ±
At the end, whoever wants can read what they wrote.
No pressure.
Listening is also participating.
**Who comes:**
Writers.
Overthinkers.
Freelancers.
Students.
Entrepreneurs tired of working alone at home.
People with thoughts too big for Instagram captions.
Introverts who prefer writing before speaking.
Travelers, locals, creatives, people with unfinished ideas living in their Notes app. âïž
Basically:
people looking for a different kind of connection.
**The details:**
đ TRUFFA cafĂ©, Avenida Independencia 1854
đ Mondays \| 16:00 â 18:00
đ Participation: 5.000 ARS

## WRITE CLUB â Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles
**English above đ**
ÂżAlguna vez abriste un documento en blanco, te quedaste mirĂĄndolo durante 40 minutos y de alguna manera terminaste reorganizando tus playlists de Spotify? âïž
Y sĂ.
Por eso existe esto.
Qué pasa:
Un grupo de desconocidos se sienta a escribir juntos.
Eso es bĂĄsicamente todo.
Peroooo... la verdad es que no.
Algunas semanas hacemos escritura creativa.
Historias. PoesĂa. Diario personal. Pensamientos random que todavĂa no dijiste en voz alta.
Otras semanas es algo mĂĄs prĂĄctico:
newsletters, posteos, ideas para proyectos, aplicaciones, marca personal, escritura para negocios, o cualquier cosa que vienes evitando terminar. đ»
**Al comienzo** compartimos un pequeño disparador creativo o mini input.
Algo para poner el cerebro en movimiento.
Pero nada aquĂ es estricto.
Puedes seguir la propuesta del dĂa o trabajar en lo tuyo.
Puedes escribir en tu idioma nativo o en uno que estés aprendiendo.
La idea tambiĂ©n es ayudarnos entre todos. đ
Y la parte importante:
**no estĂĄs escribiendo solo.**
Puedes hacer preguntas.
Recibir feedback.
Intercambiar ideas.
O simplemente sentarte tranquilo con un cafĂ© y finalmente concentrarte durante dos horas sin que el telĂ©fono destruya tu capacidad de atenciĂłn. đ±
**Al final**, quien quiera puede leer lo que escribiĂł.
Sin presiĂłn.
Escuchar también es participar.
**Quién viene:**
Escritores.
NĂłmades digitales.
Overthinkers.
Freelancers.
Estudiantes.
Emprendedores cansados de trabajar solos desde casa.
Personas que piensan mejor escribiendo.
Introvertidos que prefieren escribir antes que hablar.
Viajeros, locales, creativos, gente con ideas sin terminar viviendo en sus notas del celular. âïž
BĂĄsicamente:
personas buscando una forma diferente de conectar.
**Los detalles:**

Terapia grupal para Emprendedores
Bienvenidos a âTerapia Grupal para Emprendedoresâ đ« đ
Un espacio seguro para personas que:
* responden mensajes a las 2 AM,
* tienen 47 ideas de negocios abiertas,
* dicen âsolo voy a trabajar una horaâ y desaparecen emocionalmente 9 horas,
* y consideran normal hablar de métricas, ansiedad y café en la misma conversación.
AcĂĄ no prometemos âhacerte millonario en 30 dĂasâ, ni vamos a gritar âÂĄmentalidad de tiburĂłn!â.
Solo queremos reunir emprendedores reales para compartir historias, fracasos, ideas, crisis existenciales, pequeñas victorias y probablemente algĂșn que otro trauma generado por clientes, algoritmos o impuestos argentinos.
La dinĂĄmica es simple:
â cafĂ©
đ§ buenas conversaciones
đ humor terapĂ©utico
đ€ gente que entiende el caos de emprender
Si alguna vez sentiste que tus amigos no entienden por qué trabajas tanto, hablas solo o te emocionas por una planilla Excel⊠este evento probablemente sea para vos.
Locales, freelancers, founders, creativos, nĂłmades digitales y sobrevivientes del monotributo: bienvenidos.
Hacemos charlas de café todos los Martes a las 18:30 hs en [Gabån Café Bike Bar](https://share.google/gstLsckARJ6qPDk6G) (Arroyo 889 - Retiro, CABA). Con la participación de al menos una sola persona, el evento se confirma.
Puedes venir también a ofrecer tu servicio (sea cual fuere) que creas que le pueda servir a otro emprendedor.
*El evento es **gratuito**. Los consumos en Gabån Café Bike Bar corren por cuenta de cada participante.*

AI Automation & Entrepreneurship Meetup
**AI Automation & Entrepreneurship Meetup #2 â Buenos Aires**
*Miércoles 11 de junio · Buenos Aires, Argentina*
We're back for our second meetup â and this time we're going deeper.
After a great first gathering where we got to know each other, we're kicking off the format we've been building towards: one hour of real insights from someone in the community, followed by one hour of open networking.
This edition will focus on AI and automation applied to real businesses â practical, hands-on, no fluff. The kind of stuff you can actually use the next day.
Whether you're already building with AI or just getting started, this is the space for you.
**Location:** TBD â Buenos Aires (confirmed closer to the date)

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.

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.
