¡Bienvenido a nuestro **taller de relato corto** de los martes! No importa si tienes experiencia o si acabas de empezar. Todo lo que necesitas es algo para escribir y ganas de pasar un rato agradable compartiendo tu pasión por la escritura. El moderador plantea una consigna y da entre 20 y 30 minutos con el objetivo de que estructures un relato (poema, reflexión, ensayo...). Después cada participante lee su texto en voz alta y lo comentamos entre todos. Una manera divertida de mantener en forma el «músculo» creativo y de encontrar tu propia voz literaria, mientras aprendemos unos de otros. Taquilla inversa, según satisfacción. Los beneficios son para ayudar al mantenimiento de la asociación.

## **From Data Autonomy to Adaptive AI: Building Systems That Change How Decisions Get Made** **DOORS OPEN: 18:30** **TALKS START: 19:00** **NETWORKING: 20:00 - 21:30** ## **Our Speakers** **Marta Expósito Ventura, PhD, Head of Data, Stark Future** **Africa Perianez, Co-founder & CEO, Causal Foundry** ## **Marta Esposito - From ticket queues to data autonomy - engineering the shift** **Marta Esposito is Head of Data at Stark Future, an electric motorcycle company building high-performance, connected vehicles at the intersection of hardware, software, manufacturing and data.** **In her talk, Marta will explore what it takes to move a data function away from reactive ticket queues and towards a more autonomous operating model. As connected products generate increasingly rich streams of operational, product and user data, the role of data teams changes: from responding to requests, to enabling better decisions across the organisation.** **Her session will look at the engineering, organisational and cultural shift behind data autonomy: how teams structure data work, prioritise internal demand, build trust in data products and move closer to the real systems they support.** ## **Africa Perianez - Designing AI for imperfect conditions** **Africa Perianez is Co-founder and CEO of Causal Foundry, where she leads a team of engineers and AI scientists building reinforcement learning and personalisation technologies for real-world operational decision-making.** **Her work focuses on adaptive AI infrastructure that supports decisions across healthcare, logistics, behavioural nudging, demand forecasting, stockout prevention and resource allocation. Causal Foundry works with global partners including the Gates Foundation, Google.org, GAVI, Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, applying AI in environments where decisions are complex, resources are constrained and impact matters.** **In this talk, Africa will explore how AI systems move beyond prediction and dashboards into adaptive decision support. What does it take to build systems that can operate across changing contexts, local constraints and human behaviour? And how do you design AI that supports better decisions without pretending the real world is cleaner than it is?** ## **What’s In It For You?** **Some of the most interesting work in AI today is not just about building more powerful models. It is about turning data, machine learning and decision intelligence into systems that people and organisations can actually use.** **In this DeepTech Talks edition, Marta and Africa will explore two complementary sides of applied AI: how data teams become more autonomous inside complex organisations, and how adaptive AI systems support operational decisions in the real world.** **You’ll hear about:** * **How data teams move from reactive service models to autonomous data products** * **What it takes to build AI systems that support operational decision-making** * **How reinforcement learning and personalisation can be applied beyond consumer tech** * **The gap between dashboards, predictions and decisions that actually change outcomes** * **How technical teams work with messy real-world systems, constraints and stakeholders** **Expect a grounded conversation about AI that becomes s part of how organisations sense, decide and act.** ## **Who Should Come?** * **Data scientists, ML engineers and AI engineers** * **Data leaders, analytics leaders and engineering managers** * **Product leaders working with data-heavy or AI-enabled systems** * **Deep tech founders and technical operators** * **People working across healthtech, mobility, logistics, manufacturing or decision intelligence** * **Anyone curious about how applied AI becomes operational infrastructure** ## **Extras** **We’ll have food and drinks. 🍷🍕** **Come ready to meet engineers, founders, esearchers, data leaders and technology builders working on the next generation of applied AI systems.** **Spaces are limited, so grab your spot on Meetup while you can.** **Brought to you by DeepTech Recruitment & Cloudworks.** The organisers and venue reserve the right to refuse admission or entry and shall not be held liable for any incidents, losses or damages occurring during the event.

**🔎The session:** AI is already part of how we work, but most people are still using it as a chat or an autocomplete tool. The next step is moving from asking for help to letting AI actually do parts of the work for you. **That is where agents come in**. In this session, we explore **how to build and use AI agents in a practical way using tools like GitHub Copilot, Agent Mode, MCP, and reusable skills**. The focus is not on complex architectures, but on what is useful in real day-to-day work. We walk you through **what an AI agent is** and why it makes sense to use one instead of just prompts or simple automations. You will see how agents can reason, plan, and execute tasks across multiple steps, and how to apply patterns that already work in production. We also look at **how this fits into your existing workflow**, especially in environments like VS Code, and **how agents can connect to real systems and data**. Real examples will show how to automate documentation, interact with data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, and create reusable workflows that save time. The session also **covers common mistakes**, including overcomplicating solutions with too many agents, and how to keep things simple, controlled, and maintainable. 🎯**The goal is to give you a clear and practical understanding so you can start using agents in your own work without overengineering.** 👩‍💻**This session is for you if:** * you are a developer working with code on a daily basis * you use tools like VS Code, GitHub, or similar environments * you are an engineer interested in improving productivity using AI beyond autocomplete * you want to explore how to integrate AI agents into real workflows -No prior experience with AI agents is required -Basic understanding of development workflows is enough 📋**Agenda** 🙋18:00 Registration & Welcome **🗣️18:30** Session and Q&A 🌮19:30 Drinks & Bites We look forward to this inspiring evening together! 🤩

This is not a race, not a summit chase—just a slow, enjoyable hike through shaded woodland paths. Bring something to eat, something to share, and something to drink, and settle into a long afternoon of conversation, laughter, and forest air. The route is beginner-friendly, with gentle terrain suitable for all levels. Along the way, there will be stops to rest, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings before arriving at our temporary “forest living room.” Expect a laid-back atmosphere, a space to meet like-minded hikers and unwind without pressure. **The All-Hikers Forest Picnic: Montcada Edition** Unwind with Hammocks, Blankets, and a Forest Feast Saturday 4 July 2026, 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Montcada i Reixac, Barcelona 📍 **Route** Montcada i Reixac - Creu de Reixac Distance: \~ 7 km Elevation gain: \~ 160 m Technical difficulty: Easy Duration: \~ 2H Hiking, 6H Picnic Trail: download the GPX Track **[here](https://forms.gle/kPycC8Qx4HGsRo4t7)** 🚉 **Logistics** Gathering point & time: **TBC** Montcada i Reixac \~ 8:30 AM Transportation: train, other Tickets: Confirm on **[Rodalies website](https://rodalies.gencat.cat/ca/horaris/)** 🥾 **What to bring** * Hiking shoes * Sun cream and hat * Water & Non Alcoholic drinks — 3L * Packed lunch to share - potluck style * Blankets, hammocks, tarps, canopies * Light jacket or extra layer (optional) ⚠️ **Follow the instructions displayed in the link below.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

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.
