No one can enter the building after that ⚠️ **🗣️Talks** 1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform** 🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/) Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on. Takeaways: • BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised. • Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights. • What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget 2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana** 🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com). Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users. What Attendees Will Learn • 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack • 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems • 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor • 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment **Event language:** * English (many attendees also speak Spanish and other languages). **Who can join?** * 👭 This event is open to everyone. * Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or tech professional, you’re welcome here! **Address** Trainline: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes\, 613\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9) **Venue Information:** * Wheelchair accessible. * NOT suitable for children. * If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, let our media team know. **More about TechFems:** * Discover more on our [Website](https://techfems.org) and join [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/techfems). * Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/). **PLEASE NOTE** By registering, you agree to the TechFems [Privacy Policy](https://techfems.org/privacy-policy/) and [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/).

**The Monthly Fresk Jam** The Fresk Jam is a spin-off of our classic ***Culture Jam***. It is a monthly get together where different workshops around sustainability and climate change are held simultaneously. These events by ***[Apocapoc BCN](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&)***[ ](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/?public&) are hosted in our **Nest City Lab**. We strongly believe that to be efficient and healthy at dealing with the current environmental and social crisis, we need to equip ourselves with tools and knowledge that help us to be empowered and to cultivate our "active hope". The ***Culture Jam*** series aims to do just that. To attend to the workshops, please: 1\. RSVP to this meetup\. 2\.

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** El dinero no es solo un recurso material. Es una forma de energía que refleja nuestra relación con la vida, con el intercambio y con el valor que damos y recibimos. En este taller exploraremos cómo abrirnos a la energía del dinero desde una perspectiva consciente y espiritual, utilizando el Feng Shui como herramienta de armonización interior y exterior. En el mapa energético del hogar, la zona de la abundancia no actúa de manera aislada. Está profundamente conectada con la zona del trabajo y la zona de las relaciones. Estas tres áreas forman un triángulo energético que refleja cómo generamos, compartimos y recibimos recursos en nuestra vida. Cuando este triángulo está equilibrado, el dinero fluye con mayor naturalidad. Cuando está bloqueado, suelen aparecer dificultades, esfuerzo excesivo o sensación de escasez. Durante el encuentro aprenderás a: 1. Identificar y armonizar la zona de la abundancia en tu espacio. 2. Comprender cómo se relaciona con tu propósito profesional y tus relaciones personales. 3. Testar tu conexión con la energía del dinero mediante radiestesia o péndulo. 4. Realizar ajustes conscientes para mejorar esa conexión. 5. Transformar la energía de tu billetera o monedero en un símbolo de respeto y orden interior. También practicaremos el llamado “intercambio sagrado de dinero”, una enseñanza tradicional que nos invita a pagar y recibir desde la gratitud, la presencia y el equilibrio. Cada intercambio puede convertirse en un acto consciente de abundancia. Este no será solo un taller informativo, sino un espacio de experiencia y toma de conciencia. Mediremos, aplicaremos y observaremos cómo cambia la energía cuando nos relacionamos con el dinero desde otro lugar. Si sientes que el dinero puede ser algo más que números y quieres abrir una relación más armoniosa, respetuosa y fluida con la abundancia, este encuentro puede marcar un antes y un después. *** ### Organizador **Ignacio Pardo** Ingeniero químico, especialista en Geobiología aplicada.

We begin with a question that seems almost too obvious to ask: is 2+2=4 really true? In everyday life it feels immediate—two apples and two apples make four apples. But mathematics asks a deeper question: how do we actually know something is true? One way is through proof. A proof starts from a few basic statements and rules, and step by step derives a new statement from them. The key challenge, then, is choosing the right starting points. Mathematicians eventually chose sets—simple collections of objects—as the most fundamental building blocks. From a few basic assumptions about sets, we can define numbers, define addition, and gradually build the entire structure of mathematics. Even a statement as simple as 2+2=4 can therefore be derived from these basic principles. In this session we will not focus on technical details, but on understanding the overall structure of the idea. The reasoning can be followed in simple terms, even by non-mathematicians, and it reveals something remarkable: from a small number of simple starting points, an enormous world of mathematical knowledge can be built. Along the way, we will also look at the historical path that led to this view—how mathematicians gradually refined these ideas over centuries in an intellectual quest to understand the foundations of mathematics. This session will be led by Jordi Molins. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
