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.

**“¿Cómo conseguimos grandes diseñadores? Los grandes diseñadores diseñan, por supuesto.”** *Fred Brooks* **“Entonces, ¿cómo se supone que vamos a conseguir grandes arquitectos si solo tienen la oportunidad de ser arquitectos menos de media docena de veces en su carrera?”** *Ted Neward* ¡Estamos de vuelta con otra [kata focalizada en diseño de sistemas](https://www.architecturalkatas.com/)! 🎉 ¿Qué es una [kata de arquitectura](https://continuous-architecture.org/docs/rituals/architecture-kata.html)? En pocas palabras, los katas de arquitectura son ejercicios diseñados para maximizar el esfuerzo en arquitectura, minimizar los costes innecesarios y completar todos los elementos críticos que un ejercicio de arquitectura debe incluir: un cliente, restricciones del proyecto, requisitos cambiantes, compañer@s y un proceso de revisión. No se requiere experiencia previa en diseño de sistemas o arquitectura. No tener experiencia puede ser incluso más beneficioso: no tendrás ideas preexistentes sobre cómo “debería” hacerse. *El idioma principal será el 🇪🇸 y podemos acomodarnos al 🇬🇧 según asistentes.* **📅 Agenda** * 18:30-18:45. Bienvenida de [eDreams ODIGEO](https://www.edreamsodigeo.com/es/). * 18:45-20:00. Introducción breve a la kata, **cell-based architecture** **y sus diferencias con microservicios**. Después trabajaremos en grupos pequeños, de 3 a 5 personas, sobre un escenario ficticio pero realista que revelaremos durante el evento. Finalmente, pondremos en común las soluciones propuestas. * 20:30-21:00.

**Important:** * Please sign up on the following website to complete your sign up: [https://uxdx.com/community/community-barcelona-2026-06-11/](https://uxdx.com/community/community-barcelona-2026-06-11/) An in-person series of meetups focused on helping product & engineering teams in Copenhagen bridge the gap between UX, Product, Design, and Dev, and to build better products faster, together. **Agenda:** **18:30 - 19:00** Opening and registration **19:00 - 19:15** Welcome from the UXDX Ambassadors and Preply **19:15 - 19:45** Talk 1: Oana Stroe, Product Design Lead at Hubtype **19:50 - 20:15** Talk 2: Mert Tas, Principal Product Manager at Vista **20:30 - 21:00** Closing and networking ## **✨ Talks** **Talk by Oana Stroe -** [The Silo is Dead. Long Live the Silo.](https://uxdx.com/session/the-silo-is-dead-long-live-the-silo/) This talk explores how AI is reshaping ownership, craft and collaboration in cross-functional teams, and why the specialists who feel most threatened might actually be the ones who matter most. Expect honest observations and some uncomfortable questions. **Talk by Mert Tas -** [AI, Collaboration, and Hidden Tradeoffs of Product Teams](https://uxdx.com/session/ai-collaboration-and-hidden-tradeoffs-of-product-teams/) Generative AI is changing how product, design, and engineering teams work together, from how ideas are explored to how decisions are discussed and documented. In this session, Mert will share practical experiences from working on complex design and personalization products at Vistaprint: where AI genuinely improves quality, shared context, and speed, and where it risks creating shallow alignment, coordination overhead, or endless artifact generation instead of deeper thinking. The session is intended less as a prescription and more as an honest reflection on the new collaboration tradeoffs many teams are already starting to feel. ## **About UXDX** UXDX helps teams shift from project based delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and over 150 free community events each year, bringing together UX, Product, Design and Development practitioners to share how real teams build better products faster.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — 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 — no guesswork required. 🛠️ 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!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

**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.
