## Full description
Barcelona is a city full of secrets, hidden doors, unmarked alleys, and stories that only locals know. Behind some of these doors lie speakeasies and creative cocktail bars that blend history, culture, and innovation. On this exclusive evening experience, you’ll step into the world of Barcelona’s hidden nightlife, guided by a local insider who knows exactly where to look.
This is not your typical bar crawl. Instead, it’s a carefully curated journey into the city’s most unique speakeasies and stylish hidden bars. Each stop has a story to tell—whether it’s a bar tucked behind an unmarked entrance, a venue styled after the prohibition era, or a creative lounge where mixology is treated like art.
You’ll enjoy a selection of delicious optional (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks) tapas, pairing Barcelona’s culinary traditions with its vibrant drinking culture. From classic Catalan bites to modern twists, these small plates are the perfect way to experience local flavors.
Your guide will reveal the fascinating history of speakeasies, the influence of prohibition culture, and the way Barcelona has reimagined it with its own creative flair. You’ll learn how these secret spots became part of the city’s nightlife identity and why locals love them.
By the end of the evening, you won’t just have visited hidden bars—you’ll have experienced a side of Barcelona that few travelers ever see. This is a night of discovery, taste, and connection, ideal for curious travelers, foodies (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks), and anyone seeking something beyond the ordinary.
## Includes
Optional (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks) charcuterie board of tapas at the first bar and drinks available on a pay-as-you-go basis (Spanish beer, wine, sangria or vermouth).

🚀 Rebuild the Stack: Ways of Working in the AI Era
**What it takes to work as a Product Trio in an AI-first world?**
Product Tank Barcelona is back — and this time we're bringing the full squad.
This June, we're co-hosting ProductTank Barcelona at **G2's brand new Barcelona office** for a conversation that's long overdue: what does cross-functional collaboration actually look like when AI changes everything about how we build?
**Three voices. One stage.**
We'll hear from a PM, an Engineer, and a Designer — each sharing their perspective on what it takes to work as a product trio in an AI-first world. No silos. No hand-offs. Just honest lessons from teams doing it in practice.
Together, they'll explore:
* What the "Single Stack Builder" model means in practice
* Why shipping a feature is no longer the goal — driving outcomes is the only measure of success
* How PMs, designers, and engineers prototype together, teach each other, and actually move the needle on OKRs

Software Crafters Barcelona Talks @ Voxel
¡Nueva sesión de charlas en Software Crafters Barcelona!
No te pierdas estas dos charlas que estamos preparando, y un buen rato de networking, gracias a nuestro host, [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/).
**📅 Agenda**
* 17:45 - 18:30. Check-in.
* 18:30 - 18:45. Bienvenida de [Voxel](https://www.voxelgroup.net/).
* 18:45 - 19:30. Haciendo explícito lo implícito: De la inercia heredada al Playbook con IA con [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) (charla en castellano)
* 19:30 - 20:15. Nuestro viaje por el greenfield con [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) y [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) (charla en castellano)
* 20:15 - 21:00. Cierre y Networking.
**🙇♀️ Facilitan**
* [Gabriel Mártires](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielmartires/) *Software Engineer at Voxel, an Amadeus company.*
¿Haces arqueología o ingeniería? A menudo, los equipos trabajamos bajo "normas implícitas" que nadie cuestionó, lo que genera una confusión constante sobre cómo desarrollar y una carga cognitiva brutal. En esta charla, veremos cómo romper la inercia del "aquí siempre se ha hecho así" mediante acuerdos de equipo y documentación ejecutable. Descubre cómo usar la IA como guardiana de estos pactos para delegar las decisiones repetitivas y volver a centrarnos en lo que importa: diseñar y resolver problemas complejos. ¡Hagamos explícito lo implícito!
* [Eli Maruenda Joya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elimaruendajoya/) *Engineering Manager con casi 10 años de experiencia en el desarrollo de productos digitales, con background como Software Engineer y liderando equipos en los últimos 6 años.*
* [Anna Romagosa Rovira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-romagosa-rovira-01b0a7a2/) *Product Manager con más de 9 años de experiencia liderando productos digitales en sectores regulados como agua, medioambiente y energía, trabajando con equipos multidisciplinares en entornos complejos y cambiantes.*
Construir un producto desde cero no es tan fácil como parece, sobre todo si lo haces en un sector regulado, con deadlines exigentes y sin conocer bien el dominio, lxs stakeholders ni a lxs clientxs.
En esta charla explicaremos cómo lideramos la transformación de un proceso de facturación en un contexto greenfield: pasando de decisiones basadas en intuiciones a apoyarnos en datos, construyendo la confianza de stakeholders escépticos y adaptándonos a los cambios de estrategia, todo ello mientras alineábamos un equipo grande, con alta seniority y con visiones diferentes sobre el "cómo", sin dejar de tomar decisiones y entregar valor.
Una historia real de aprendizajes, errores y decisiones en incertidumbre… con algo de humor por el camino.

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.
###
Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Prototype, Play, and Build Workshops (In-Person @GameArena)

Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.
Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers. For this event, light snacks from the bar and water will be provided!
Though you can purchase you own if you like at the bar:
