Arteterapia: Paisajes Internos
Nuestro mundo interior se construye a diario, pero a menudo pasa desapercibido
entre la rutina de nuestras vidas. *Paisajes internos* es un taller grupal para explorar,
y darle voz a ese espacio íntimo. Es un espacio seguro y cuidado para que las personas
participantes tengan la oportunidad de parar, reconectarse y expresarse mediante distintos lenguajes artísticos: pintura, barro, collage, acuarela, fotografía,
movimiento corporal y más.
Se trata de un proceso vivencial, donde el foco es la
experiencia, el encuentro con uno mismo y con los demás.
El proceso se construye de manera orgánica, a partir de una estructura flexible que acompaña lo que va emergiendo en cada sesión, desde la presencia y la necesidad del grupo, priorizando la escucha, el acompañamiento y el sostén grupal.
* 10 sesiones los jueves de 11:00 a 13:00
* Del 7 de Mayo al 9 de Julio, 2026
* Precio: 20€ x sesión \| 160€ x 10 sesiones
Grupo reducido

Trae ropa cómoda, libreta, boli y agua.
¡Te espero!

From Silos to...What? Collision or Shared Practice
**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.
Kata de Arquitectura @ eDreams
**“¿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. Networking.

Chat & Draw⎜Paper & The People

**Join us for another Tech Talk at Glovo HQ 🚀**
We’re opening the doors of Yellow Park for the **Data Science Tech Meetup on Thursday, June 11th**, to explore how to scale advanced AI for real-world product discovery and categorization.
Glovo’s team and Anna Sánchez from Wallapop will join the conversation to share their experiences building AI solutions at scale for product discovery and categorization
* **Deploying LLMs at Scale at Delivery Hero:** Our very own team **[Aleix López](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleixlopezpascual/)** and **[Pablo Medin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablojmed/)**[a](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablojmed/) will share what they've learned deploying LLMs in production at Delivery Hero for food categorization across millions of products and multiple markets. Rather than focusing on the model itself, we'll dive into the parts that don't usually make it into papers or blog posts: hard-won takeaways on evaluation, cost optimization, and stakeholder management.
* **The Path to Semantic Search at Wallapop: [Anna Sánchez Espunyes](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-s%C3%A1nchez-espunyes/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-s%C3%A1nchez-espunyes/)from Wallapop will talk about how the company moved beyond rigid keyword matching.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐘 – “𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒”- PALAU MARTORELL
Heu vist la portada d’aquesta activitat? Doncs, segur que recordeu **aquells ulls verds magnètics**, plens de por i de dignitat, que van donar la volta al món des de la portada de National Geographic l’any 1985. Era la imatge de la **Sharbat Gula**, una nena en un camp de refugiats al Pakistan que es va convertir, sense saber-ho, **en el símbol universal del drama del poble afganès**.
Aquella fotografia no va ser fruit de l’atzar, sinó del talent de **Steve McCurry**, un dels grans mestres de la fotografia contemporània. McCurry no és només un fotògraf de guerra o un reporter; és **un col·leccionista d’ànimes que ha passat més de quatre dècades viatjant pels set continents**, capturant la bellesa enmig del conflicte i la resiliència enmig de la pobresa.
Palau Martorell i Arthemisia presenten **“ICONS”**, la retrospectiva més espectacular i completa **mai realitzada a Barcelona** dedicada a **Steve McCurry, un dels fotògrafs més cèlebres i reconeguts del món**.
A partir d’un projecte d’Orion57 i comissariada per Biba Giacchetti en col·laboració amb l’artista, amb **més de 150 obres mestres**, l’exposició és un viatge extraordinari entre rostres, paisatges i escenes de la vida quotidiana, **amb algunes de les imatges més icòniques de tots els temps**.
*Realitzarem una visita guiada descobrint la mirada de Steve, gaudint de les seves obres més destacades, en una exposició única a Barcelona!*
*A on? Quan?*

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 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.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
