The adoption of AI is accelerating in all areas of economic activity - in all verticals and across consumers, public and private sectors. In this event we will discuss key success factors in AI adoption, we will deconstruct AI jargon using plain language, and cover numerous use cases in full production across all verticals. *About the speaker:* **Carlos Escapa** is Executive in Residence at Across Legal in Barcelona Spain. He has held various roles at Amazon Web Services and Meta AI in Silicon Valley, where he specialised in the development of industrial alliances and global go-to-market ecosystems. Prior to that he was co-founder and CEO of VirtualSharp Software, with a successful exit to Unitrends Inc (Insight Venture Partners). Carlos has an MS from Virginia Tech in Computer Science, and a BS from Illinois State University. He is a guest lecturer of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence at Berkeley-Haas, ESADE and IE. **About his book *The AI-driven Business*** AI is no longer optional. Companies that integrate it strategically grow up to 650% faster than those adopting it tactically. Yet most business leaders struggle to move beyond pilots and proof-of-concepts. The gap between AI potential and AI reality remains vast. This book bridges the divide between technical AI and business strategy. Drawing from 60+ case studies and proprietary frameworks developed through training 1,400+ executives at ESADE, it offers a rigorous yet accessible guide to leading with AI—moving beyond the hype and into actionable transformation.

Taller de cocción cerámica Raku Después de semanas construyendo el horno —cortando, probando y ajustando cada detalle— por fin estamos listos para compartirlo. Este taller propone una aproximación práctica y experimental a la cocción cerámica mediante distintas técnicas de Raku, explorando procesos, materiales y resultados únicos. *** ### ¿Qué es el Raku? El Raku es una técnica de cocción cerámica tradicional japonesa caracterizada por extraer las piezas del horno al rojo vivo (aprox. 1000 °C) y colocarlas en contenedores con materiales orgánicos (serrín, hojas, plumas, etc.). Este proceso genera una atmósfera de reducción que produce efectos únicos: acabados metálicos, ahumados y craquelados irrepetibles. *** ### Técnicas que exploraremos Durante el taller experimentaremos con diferentes tipos de cocción, según su nivel de intervención: ### **Menos agresivas** * Enfriado natural sin choque térmico * *Sagar*: piezas envueltas en aluminio con materiales orgánicos * *Pit firing*: cocción al fuego con la pieza envuelta en tejidos y materiales orgánicos * Carbonación / cocción en gaceta: reducción en contenedores cerrados ### **Medio agresivas** * Extracción a alta temperatura sin choque térmico posterior * Rakú dulce (pelo, azúcar, etc.): intervenciones directas sobre la pieza caliente ### **Muy agresivas** * Técnicas con choque térmico para generar efectos más intensos * *Naked Raku*: con preparación previa de engobes y reducción en serrín * *Obvara*: inmersión en mezcla de agua, harina, levadura y azúcar *** ### Formatos del taller ### **Para ceramistas** * Trae tus propias piezas listas para Raku (bizcochadas) * Experimenta con diferentes técnicas de superficie * Duración: 4–5 horas * Precio: 80 €/persona ### **Para público general** * Día 1: creación de piezas * Día 2: cocción Raku * (Día 3 opcional según formato) * Horario: de 9:30 h a 14:30 h No es necesario tener experiencia previa. Estamos preparando sesiones con piezas incluidas para que puedas vivir el proceso completo desde cero. *** ### ¿Qué te llevarás? * Introducción práctica a la cocción Raku * Experimentación con diferentes técnicas y acabados * Comprensión de procesos de reducción y choque térmico * Piezas únicas e irrepetibles *** ### 📅 Información práctica 📍 La Clandestina (Poblenou) 🗓 Viernes 13 de abril ⏰ De 9:30h a 14:30 h 💸 Precio: 80 € (materiales incluidos) 📩 Inscripciones: hola@laclandestinadepoblenou.org

No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at a bar in Gràcia, Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. **What we talk about (but not limited to):** * Agentic coding workflows and tooling * Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice * Multi-agent architectures and orchestration * AI-native product building * What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

El "Taller de agentes IA con AI Studio y Gemma 4", será realizado por el Google Developer Expert Víctor Sanchez (lead organizer del GDG Mallorca) y por Andreu Ibáñez (lead organizer GDG Spain y GDG Lleida), y consistirá en la formación con los sistemas agénticos más modernos que se encuentren disponibles en el momento, ya que esto es una locura y todo evoluciona muy rápido. Previo al taller Andreu nos introducirá brevemente al mundo de los agentes, y su evolución en los últimos meses, para después pasar a la parte práctica de la mano de Víctor. Durante el taller haremos redeem de códigos gratuitos entregados por Google Cloud/Google Developers, para montar una VPS (servidor remoto privado y virtual) donde instalaremos un sistema dockerizado y un agente Hermes, que está comiendo el paso a OpenClaw, y que seguro en breve tendrá competencia. Este agente de IA estará conectado al último modelo de Gemma 4 disponible, lo que nos permite ejecutar instancias locales según el hardware de que dispongamos. La instalación se realiza con Docker, consiguientemente cualquier entorno o tipo de sistema operativo sirve (Windows, Linux, Mac). Y no te preocupes si nunca lo has usado, Víctor te enseñará :) Los asistentes deberán traer su laptop bien cargado y tener conectividad propia vía su propio móvil haciendo de hotspot, ya que no podemos garantizar el caudal para todo el mundo vía wifi. El taller en resumen enseñará a los asistentes a crear la VPS en Google Cloud, instalar el agente Hermes dockerizado y hacer pruebas con un modelo open source Gemma 4. La aplicación de este sistema ya dependerá de cada cual, ya que al ser Gemma 4 multimodal, las aplicaciones son infinitas. De su web: Gemma 4 introduces key capabilities and architectural advancements: Reasoning – All models in the family are designed as highly capable reasoners, with configurable thinking modes. Extended Multimodalities – Processes Text, Image with variable aspect ratio and resolution support (all models), Video, and Audio (featured natively on the E2B and E4B models). Diverse & Efficient Architectures – Offers Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) variants of different sizes for scalable deployment. Optimized for On-Device – Smaller models are specifically designed for efficient local execution on laptops and mobile devices. Increased Context Window – The small models feature a 128K context window, while the medium models support 256K. Enhanced Coding & Agentic Capabilities – Achieves notable improvements in coding benchmarks alongside native function-calling support, powering highly capable autonomous agents. Native System Prompt Support – Gemma 4 introduces native support for the system role, enabling more structured and controllable conversations. Aunque el taller es gratis, el local exige un consumo mínimo por persona de una pizza y una bebida, aprox 14 €.

Curious about “vibe coding” but not sure what it actually means? This beginner-friendly talk is about how people are using AI to build websites, apps, automations, and small software projects by describing what they want in plain English. We’ll cover what vibe coding is, what AI is good at, where it falls short, and how to actually use it without getting lost. The goal is not to hype AI as magic — it’s to show how to use it as a practical tool. This session is designed for beginners, curious builders, non-programmers, and developers who want a clearer picture of how to build with AI today. Topics include: * What “vibe coding” means * What AI can help you build * Where AI is useful and where it is unreliable * A simple workflow for building with AI * Prompting tips for better results * Common beginner mistakes to avoid If you’ve ever thought, “I have an idea, but I don’t know how to build it,” this talk is for you. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
