She’ll be sharing her work with HeartMula, a project where she trained models on recordings of her own songs. Learn how she uses AI as a collaborative partner to explore new musical ideas while staying true to her unique creative voice. 🎤 **Arnab Dey & Marcel Alcoverro (UNITH) – Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline** What does it actually take to turn an image into a real-time photorealistic human avatar? Arnab (Senior Research Engineer) and Marcel (Head of AI) will walk through the full engineering stack behind a live interactive avatar: from LLM-driven speech synthesis and autoregressive 3D motion generation to Gaussian Splatting rendering streamed at 60 FPS. This talk dives into the research models powering visual avatars, the hard latency trade-offs that shape every design decision, and what production MLOps looks like when your service is a human face. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🖊️⚙️ Track 2** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Xesca Alabart (Gluecharm) – Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI** Why do most AI design tools give you code instead of editable design objects? Current tools like v0 or Bolt often leave designers stuck in a "prompt loop" - where even a minor layout tweak requires a new prompt rather than a simple click-and-drag. Xesca, creator of Penpot Wizard, is pioneering a fundamentally different path. Her talk introduces a Vectorial AI-driven methodology that treats the canvas as a live environment rather than a code-generation target. By designing with AI and Vectorial Design as a structural foundation, Penpot Wizard generates native design objects—shapes, paths, and components—that designers can edit normally. It’s about moving past the prompt-only bottleneck to provide a functional, editable starting point for real-world UX. 🎤 **Gabriel Llauradó Queralt (Allianz Technology) - Investigator: A Multi-Agent System That Digs into Tickets** Every Jira ticket hides a trail across code, databases, logs, and half-forgotten Slack decisions. Gabriel built Investigator using LangGraph, with specialist agents for code, DB, Jira, OpenSearch, Confluence, GitHub and Vision — Orchestrated by a Planner, Router, Critic and Evaluator that argue with each other until the evidence holds up. He'll walk through the architecture, the prompts that actually work, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and lessons learned making LLMs reason about real enterprise codebases. **See you soon!** *(\*) You will greatly help us by providing your DNI/NIE upfront when you RSVP.

This is not a typical ceramics class. This is a small, intimate space designed to help you slow down, disconnect from daily noise and reconnect with yourself through a simple, hands-on experience. In a city that moves fast, this group offers a different kind of plan: creating with your hands, sharing a glass of wine, and enjoying a calm, screen-free moment. All workshops are held in very small groups (max. 4 people) to keep the atmosphere personal and relaxed. No previous experience is needed. What to expect: • A guided ceramics experience focused on the process, not perfection • A cozy and calm environment • Wine or non-alcoholic drinks • Time to disconnect, without pressure or distractions You will also be able to keep your piece after it’s fired, as a reminder of the experience. This group is for you if you’re looking for: • A creative break from routine • A mindful, slow activity • A different way to meet people or spend time alone Spots are always limited to keep the experience intimate.

SvelTeusday is coming up! Grab a drink or a snack & come chat with other humans.

We organise a watercolour workshop for beginners; The teacher is an advanced graphic designer and painter Tiana Diakova, whose works you can check on Instagram: @diakova_art. The maximum amount of people is 10 so the teacher will be able to guide every person. The workshop is adapted to a beginner's level (every time people who never painted before are surprised with the result they achieve!) But also the process will be interesting for those who draw or paint already. For architects, designers, and illustrators it's a good way to discover a new technique and material and make new contacts) All materials are included so there is no need to bring anything. The process will take 2-2,5 hours. Important: Your subscription is confirmed after you make a payment following this link: https://mauicowork.com/watercolour-painting-with-tatiana/ Welcome to our evening of creativity in the atmospheric studio with beach vibes:)

Being the only researcher, or part of a small research team, often means carrying the weight of user advocacy entirely on your shoulders. The Barcelona tech ecosystem is fueled by fast-moving startups and agile product teams, but that reality can sometimes leave UX researchers managing backlogs and advocating for stakeholder buy-in without a massive support system. Join us as we interview a panel of UXRs who have successfully built their company's research culture from within a lean team. We will dive into their firsthand experiences and talk through real-world playbooks for strategic roadmap influence. Expect thoughtful discussions on how to democratize your insights, scale your impact across the organization, and drive high-fidelity product decisions. Whether you are a team of one or navigating the growing pains of a small team, bring your questions, your challenges, and your stories. See you there!

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.
