**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 6-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:55-21:15 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 21:15-21:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! At the Barcelona group, we often meet in a friends house. In this case, we ask that everyone bring a snack or a drink to share! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **​What will we talk about? What's the topic?** **​**The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z). * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

Para celebrar dos años de actividad en Barcelona, la Comunidad "Barcelona Filosófica" organiza una fiesta pública - Pin Nic, ¡con comida, bebidas, música y juegos filosóficos! Una buena ocasión para celebrar con quienes participan, han participado o son curiosos y tal vez en el futuro participarán en una de las muchas maneras de hacer de la filosofía una práctica reflexiva vital y creativa para la vida diaria, para aquellos que están convencidos de que la filosofía es un mundo importante para redescubrir a nivel popular (más allá de la Academia). Una manera de celebrar la filosofía del diálogo como el corazón de este nuevo universo que se debe explorar juntos de muchas maneras diferentes. Pero sobre todo una excusa para celebrar dos años en los que hemos recorrido calles, callejones y plazas, donde hemos ocupado cafés y asociaciones, hemos entrado en casas privadas y hecho reflexiones públicas, siempre siguiendo el camino maestro del descubrimiento de uno mismo y del mundo, con nueva confianza en nuestras capacidades de pensar, de ser y de hablar con los demás (y consigo mismos). Por eso es bueno hacer fiesta! La fiesta es gratuita, pero con dos condiciones centrales: - Cada uno traerá algo de beber y/o comer para todos, en acuerdo con los organizadores de la fiesta. - Será un momento para estar juntos, y luego participar en los juegos y la música del evento. Por lo tanto, se ruega a cualquiera que se registre para el evento que escriba en privado al organizador-coordinador, el filósofo Emanuele Profumi que creó este Meetup, para coordinar qué llevar y cómo participar en los juegos filosófico y a la Jam Musical. Es bienvenido el boca a boca para extender la invitación a otras personas, amigos, conocidos. Lo importante es que cada uno traiga algo para comer y/o beber según las indicaciones que serán dadas por el organizador. Este es el programa general (poco antes de la Fiesta se comunicarà aquì el programa con detalles) - Breves lecturas filosóficas (Micrófono abierto) - Quiz filosófico para nerd y menos nerd - Jam Session Musical con ritmos latinoamericanos y no solo ¿Qué esperas para inscribirte y participar en el evento?! Nos vemos en los hermosos jardines de Montjuic (cerca del estanque central)! To celebrate two years of activity in Barcelona, the Community "Barcelona Filosófica" organizes a public party - Pin Nic, with food, drinks, music and philosophical games! A good occasion to celebrate with those who participate, have participated or are curious and perhaps in the future will participate in one of the many ways to make philosophy a vital and creative reflective practice for daily life, for those who are convinced that philosophy is an important world to rediscover on a popular level (beyond the Academy). A way to celebrate the philosophy of dialogue as the heart of this new universe that must be explored together in many different ways. But above all an excuse to celebrate two years in which we have traveled through streets, alleys and squares, where we have occupied cafes and associations, entered private homes and made public reflections, always following the master path of self-discovery and the world, with renewed confidence in our abilities to think, to be and to speak with others (and with ourselves). That’s why it’s good to party! The party is free, but with two key conditions: - Everyone will bring something to drink and/or eat for everyone, in agreement with the party organizers. - It will be a moment to be together, and then participate in the games and music of the event. Therefore, anyone registering for the event is asked to write privately to the organizer-coordinator, philosopher Emanuele Profumi who created this Meetup, to coordinate what to bring and how to participate in the philosophical games and the Musical Jam. Word of mouth is welcome to extend the invitation to other people, friends, acquaintances. The important thing is that everyone brings something to eat and/or drink according to the instructions given by the organizer. This is the general program (shortly before the party, the program with details will be communicated here) - Brief philosophical readings (Open microphone) - Philosophical quiz for nerds and less nerds - Jam Session Musical with Latin American rhythms and not only What are you waiting for to sign up and participate in the event?!

Un modo per celebrare la filosofia del dialogo come il cuore di questo nuovo universo che deve essere esplorato insieme in molti modi diversi. Ma soprattutto un pretesto per celebrare due anni in cui abbiamo percorso strade, vicoli e piazze, dove abbiamo occupato caffè e associazioni, siamo entrati in case private e abbiamo fatto riflessioni pubbliche, sempre seguendo il cammino maestro della scoperta di sé stessi e del mondo, con nuova fiducia nelle nostre capacità di pensare, di essere e di parlare con gli altri (e con se stessi).

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo.

A special edition meetup with a very special guest! International speaker Daniel Afonso will talk about the Framework wars and what he learned from them! Don't miss out! 🚀 ────────── **18:30: Welcome** **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 React-Driven Development: Career Lessons from the Framework Wars** Speaker: Daniel Afonso, Senior Developer Advocate at PagerDuty "No one uses what I built!" "Why can't I get support to do this?" "I don't even know why we're using that?" "Why am I always the one doing everything?" Sound familiar? The truth is, friction is ever-present in our careers — in our influence, processes, relationships, and even the code we ship. But we're rarely taught how to handle it. Here's the fun fact: React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. From the early skepticism around JSX and the Virtual DOM to the chaos of Server Components, the React team has navigated many friction points you'll face: skeptical stakeholders, unclear messaging, delayed initiatives, and the challenge of getting buy-in. So let's recap the highlights since its birth to the latest release, understand what React got right (and wrong), and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives. Whether you're leading a team, building internal tools, or advocating for a technical decision, you'll leave with concrete strategies for driving change, building trust, and shipping initiatives that actually get adopted. **20:00: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

We will show how to build custom agents with Microsoft Agent Framework. Attendees will learn how to build and custom host agents when Microsoft Foundry is not a viable option.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
