When I moved to Barcelona, I worked long hours and somehow still couldn't find people to actually practice Spanish with. ​I tried courses. I tried Duolingo and Babbel. They all felt the same: awkward exercises about topics I didn't care about, completely disconnected from my real life. ​So I figured out my own method. It worked. I learned Spanish in 4 months, and I'm now accelerating my French, not in a classroom but by integrating the language into my daily life. ​That's exactly what I'm sharing in this free 1-hour session. ​**What you'll walk away with:** * ​Why traditional methods get you stuck at the intermediate level * ​The one thing that actually moves the needle (it's not more tutoring) * ​Daily practices you can start tomorrow - built around your life, not a textbook ​**Who's this for:** * ​You've been learning a language but got stuck somewhere between A2 and B2 * ​You want to actually use the language, not spend years chasing perfection * ​You're open to rethinking how you learn ​**Logistics:** We'll meet at Sandwichez to have a Coffee all together and talk about our language experience.

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: What**: PRAGMA: Revolut Foundation Model https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.08649 **Summary**: We'll discuss a paper about a new kind of foundation model for banking. Instead of building separate models for fraud detection, credit scoring, customer engagement, and dozens of other tasks, the authors train a single model that learns a general representation of a person's financial behavior and reuse it everywhere. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maksim Ostroukhov 💬 **Language of the meeting:** English 🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur 📍 **Location:** Maui coworking (Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses.

**Join us at the Badalona Sailing Club for a hands-on sailing and navigation experience designed for both beginners and more experienced sailors.** Each meetup lasts around **2 hours** and combines practical boat handling with real navigation at sea. Together, we’ll discover the basics of sailing through simple maneuvers, sail handling, and wind awareness — learning naturally as we exchange, ask questions, and enjoy a relaxed sail along the coast. Beyond the technical aspects, this experience is also about **being at sea**. As we sail, you’ll enjoy a beautiful perspective of **Barcelona from the water**, learn how to observe the marine environment — and with a bit of luck, **dolphins sometimes join us**. These meetups are guided by **Jean**, a pr**ofessional skipper and sailing instructor**, who focuses on sharing knowledge in a relaxed, safe, and supportive atmosphere. **Prices:** **\- 35 euros for the first session** **\- 20 euros for following session** Whether you’re stepping on a sailboat for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this meetup offers a meaningful and engaging way to learn, sail, and connect.

*Presentación-coloquio sobre el libro Los algoritmos de la vida*: Una mirada al orden oculto en el caos. **Descripción del evento:** Entrada libre. Sin coste. ¿Somos parte de una inteligencia colectiva que nos precede y rige el funcionamiento de todos los reinos de seres vivos? Te invito a la librería **+Bernat** (c/ Buenos Aires 6, Barcelona) para compartir una reflexión sobre el *elegante orden que acoge al caos de lo vivo*. En este encuentro, exploraremos los algoritmos que rigen desde la inteligencia del universo hasta nuestra relación actual con la Inteligencia Artificial. Es una invitación a habitar el MISTERIO.

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.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation. About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/ **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!

## 🤝 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. ###
