New Technology

We’re thrilled to announce a special edition of BcnRust taking place inside the **Talent Arena at Mobile World Congress 2026**, thanks to the collaboration between the **[Rust Foundation](https://rustfoundation.org)** and **[Mobile World Capital Barcelona](https://mobileworldcapital.com/)**. This unique event brings together hands‑on workshops, a community meetup, and exclusive access for Rust developers across Spain — including our friends from **[MadRust](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/madrust/)**, represented by our meetup speaker **[Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/)**. **📅 Schedule — Wednesday, March 4th** **Workshop 1 — General Access** 9:30h – 10:45h **When Floats Lie:** *Performance, and why Rust keeps AI from corroding* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) "Floating-point numbers are prone to subtle failure modes that erode performance and correctness. We will build a small quantization framework in Rust, evolving step by step as we move from numeric fundamentals to Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) for AI inference. You’ll learn how quantization works at the bit level, and why Rust is becoming critical infrastructure for high-performance, resource-constrained, AI-driven systems." This session is free to attend. Simply register at: 👉 [https://talentarena.tech](https://talentarena.tech) **Community Meetup — XPRO Access** 13:30h – 14:30h (extended until 14:50 if needed) **Make Rusty AI** *Building an agent from scratch using Rust and open‑source tools* **Speaker:** [Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/) (MadRust) "Artificial intelligence has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives. Assistants are now capable of performing tasks that were once science fiction, and we’ve started integrating them into our daily routines. But do you fully understand the concepts at play? Can you distinguish between a chatbot and an agent? Could you write your own AI tools? In this talk, we’ll build an agent from scratch using Rust and open-source tools. While the session will involve live-coding, the focus will be on understanding the core concepts and applications of artificial intelligence. It’s an opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the way we interact with computing—and how you can contribute to this revolution." Join us for a deep dive into practical Rust‑powered AI, followed by community discussion and networking with Rustaceans from Barcelona, Madrid, and beyond. **Workshop 2 — XPRO Access** 16:45h – 18:00h **From fRusTrait‑ion to Async Mastery**: *Become a Rust Trait Hero in 90 minutes* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) **🎟️ About the XPRO Passes** Thanks to the Rust Foundation, we have **150 XPRO passes** available for the community. These passes grant access to the **meetup** and the **second workshop**, as well as the full Talent Arena program. We will distribute the codes **in order of request via Meetup**.

¿Es posible tener una granja de minería en un piso de ciudad? En este meetup volvemos a las trincheras del hashrate, pero con un giro especial: la minería urbana. Hablaremos con Randy, que gestiona un proyecto de minería en la ciudad de Barcelona. Le acompañará Markush, admin de BBO y profesional dedicado al sector de la minería industrial. No hablamos de Bitaxes ni de nuestros admirados [Bitronics](https://bitronics.store/es), sino de adaptar equipos industriales al entorno del hogar. ¿Qué trataremos? * **La Motivación**: ¿Qué lleva a alguien a montar infraestructura industrial en su casa? * **Los Desafíos**: Ruido, calor, potencia eléctrica... ¿Qué es lo más complicado de gestionar? * **El Resultado**: ¿Merece la pena? Analizaremos los beneficios y las lecciones aprendidas. 🚨 Queremos dejar claro que en este meetup no tratamos temas relacionados con la especulación o la valoración de Bitcoin en el mercado. No hablaremos sobre valoraciones económicas futuras de esta u otras monedas digitales. La asistencia a este acto es libre y gratuita. Os pedimos que os registréis en esta página para tener una previsión de la gente que asistirá al evento. No es necesario que utilices información real, con un seudónimo y un correo temporal basta. 📅 Fecha y hora: miércoles 4 de marzo 2026, a las 19:00h. El acceso se cierra a las 19:15! 📍 Lugar: MOB Barcelona - Carrer Bailèn, 11, L'Eixample, 08010 Barcelona. Espera en el portal del local y te acompañaremos al interior.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
