Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)

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 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. WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t **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.

Being the only researcher, or part of a small research team, often means carrying the weight of user advocacy entirely on your shoulders. The Barcelona tech ecosystem is fueled by fast-moving startups and agile product teams, but that reality can sometimes leave UX researchers managing backlogs and advocating for stakeholder buy-in without a massive support system. Join us as we interview a panel of UXRs who have successfully built their company's research culture from within a lean team. We will dive into their firsthand experiences and talk through real-world playbooks for strategic roadmap influence. Expect thoughtful discussions on how to democratize your insights, scale your impact across the organization, and drive high-fidelity product decisions. Whether you are a team of one or navigating the growing pains of a small team, bring your questions, your challenges, and your stories. See you there!

**THE ACTOR'S INSTRUMENT** is a weekly practice dedicated to developing the actor's primary tool: **the self** **THIS WORK FOCUSES ON:** Presence, responsiveness, imagination and the ability to act truthfully under imaginary circumstances. **IT IS NOT ABOUT PERFORMANCE or RESULT.** **IT IS ABOUT PROCESS, AWARENESS, AND AVAILABILITY** **THE WORK:** * Through structured exercises and guided exploration, actors train: * Attention and concentration * Physical and Vocal awareness * Emotional availability * Imagination and impulse * Connection to partner and enviroment **THE WORK IS ACTIVE, PRACTICAL AND ROOTED IN DOING.** **THE APPROACH:** This is a safe space to practice, not presentation. **Actors are invited to:** * Let go of fixed outcomes * Work moment to moment * Explore without forcing results * Develop sensitivity to impulse and response * The aim is to build an instrument that is awake, responsive and precise. **WHO THIS IS FOR:** * Actors at any stage of their development * Artists interested in deepening their craft * Those looking for a consistent, focused practice **STRUCTURE:** Sessions are * Guided * Participatory * Process-oriented Work may include solo exercises, partner work and group exploration.

🤝 A special collaboration between **Barcelona CyberSec** and **Crafty Counsel Barcelona** A cyber breach isn't just a technical failure anymore; it's a massive legal liability. Yet, cybersecurity professionals and legal teams often speak completely different languages. If you wait until a major incident happens to bridge this gap, you're already too late. We are going to break down the critical intersection of cybersecurity and legal exposure. We’ll look at practical 2026 scenarios where code meets the courtroom—from incident response and data liability to regulatory compliance and forensic evidence. Whether you're a CISO, an in-house Lawyer, a Security Engineer, or compliance counsel, join us to learn how these two vital groups must collaborate to protect organizations and themselves today. This topic will be presented by **Gerardo Prieto** (CISO) and **Ivanna Honina** (Head of Legal at Preply) 📍 **Where**: LaFabrica & Co, Carrer del Doctor Trueta, 193, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona 🎟️ **Entry**: Free (Registration mandatory to enter) 🕒 **Agenda** (⚠️ Heads up: We start strictly on time!): * ⁠6:30 PM→ Check‑in & Welcome * 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM → Navigating Cybersecurity & Legal Exposure (with Gerardo Prieto & Ivanna Honina) * ⁠⁠7:30 PM - 7:45 PM → Open Debate & Q&A: Legal vs. Cybersecurity * ⁠⁠7:45 PM onwards → Networking & Drinks 🍻

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
