🚀 Rebuild the Stack: Ways of Working in the AI Era
**What it takes to work as a Product Trio in an AI-first world?** Product Tank Barcelona is back — and this time we're bringing the full squad. This June, we're co-hosting ProductTank Barcelona at **G2's brand new Barcelona office** for a conversation that's long overdue: what does cross-functional collaboration actually look like when AI changes everything about how we build? **Three voices. One stage.** We'll hear from a PM, an Engineer, and a Designer — each sharing their perspective on what it takes to work as a product trio in an AI-first world. No silos. No hand-offs. Just honest lessons from teams doing it in practice. Together, they'll explore: * What the "Single Stack Builder" model means in practice * Why shipping a feature is no longer the goal — driving outcomes is the only measure of success * How PMs, designers, and engineers prototype together, teach each other, and actually move the needle on OKRs 🎤 **Meet the Speakers** **Karine K. Nascimento** — Managing VP of Product, G2 Karine leads buyer product across G2's Barcelona hub, overseeing G2.AI, G2, Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice following G2's acquisition of Gartner Digital Markets.

She's also a co-organizer of ProductTank. **Meydjer Luzzoli** — Senior Engineering Manager, G2. Leading buyer experience engineering across G2, Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice. With 15+ years in software, he knows how to modernize systems, align teams, and make execution move faster. His current focus is making AI part of how Product Trios actually build. **Gabriela Pérez Cuervo** — UX Director, Gabriela shapes the end-to-end experience for buyers and sellers across G2's marketplace. With 10+ years in UX — from agency work at Cognizant Netcentric to in-house product at XING to leading design at G2 — she knows how to set the vision, drive impact, and get things shipped. 📍 **Location:** G2 Barcelona — Cloudworks22@ Carrer de Pere IV, 64 - Planta 3 Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona 🗓 **Date:** Tuesday, June 17th 🕒 Doors open at 6:30 PM \| Talks start at 7 PM sharp 🎟 **RSVPs fill fast** — please update yours at least 24h in advance if your plans change so someone on the waitlist can join. ![:wave:](https://a.slack-edge.com/production-standard-emoji-assets/16.0/apple-medium/1f44b.png)

Stalker
Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
