Running production-level AI (especially LLMs and generative models) is facing a wall: cost, performance and hardware availability. Cloud bills are skyrocketing, latency is impacting user experience, and reliance on high-end GPUs is creating a bottleneck. On top of that, new regulations such as the EU AI Act are increasingly requiring transparency on energy consumption. Green AI is an emerging field dedicated to making AI environmentally sustainable without compromising model performance. This discipline goes hand in hand with engineering efficiency: using fewer resources to achieve equivalent results. By optimizing models to reduce energy consumption, we address two critical goals at once: we significantly improve operational margins and scalability, and we minimize the carbon emissions. In this session, we will demonstrate how to address these challenges using **GAISSA**, a UPC spin-off project that automates AI model optimization. We will show a **Live Demo** covering: * A walk-through of how a standard model is compressed and adapted for efficiency * A Return on Investment (ROI) comparison of a standard vs. an optimized model * A visualization of cost reduction (€), latency (ms), and emissions (CO2) **Who Are We** We are the team behind GAISSA, researchers and engineers from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). We specialize in AI efficiency and model optimization, and our mission is to make advanced AI accessible, affordable, and compliant with future standards.

The event will take place in their office, which is located in **La Pedrera (Casa Milà)**. The access to the building will be by **Carrer Provença** entrance. **Event schedule** Doors open from **18:30** to **19:00.** Please join us after the presentation for pizza and drinks to network with other attendees.

**Live Website CRO Teardown for eCommerce, SaaS/apps, Marketplaces, and Lead Gen** Want your site (funnel) analyzed by experienced CRO strategists? Want to learn how to apply a scientific conversion optimization framework for increasing conversions and revenue, without rudimentary LLM ideas, guesswork or “best-practice” noise? Send your site (funnel) link to [cro-meetup-barcelona@conversionrate.store](mailto:cro-meetup-barca@conversionrate.store) for a live, professional CRO teardown at the meetup. We’ll show you how to continuously increase conversions and revenue by applying scientific data-driven CRO methodology even for mature products. **In the session, we will walk through real funnels and show how to:** * Pinpoint and benchmark the funnel steps that are underperforming. * Diagnose why users are not converting by surfacing unaddressed frictions, concerns, and uncertainties. * Identify user intents and conversion drivers you can leverage to lift performance. * Ideate and prioritize data-driven CRO hypotheses, then validate them through experimentation (including A/B testing). We will be respectful but candid and critical of the site we will analyze during the session. **What you’ll get from attending the CRO Teardown Meetup** * A professional CRO teardown of your eCommerce, SaaS/app, marketplace, or lead generation funnel. * A clear, practical walkthrough of the scientific CRO process, including: * Quantitative analysis: identifying opportunities through user behavior and funnel patterns. * Qualitative analysis: diagnosing friction and concerns through user sentiment and perception research. * Creation and validation of data-driven CRO hypotheses through experimentation * Relevant CRO case studies selected from one of the world’s largest internal case study libraries. **Who should attend** * CRO and Growth Managers: learn structured hypothesis ideation grounded in user behavior and user perception data. * eCommerce and Marketplace Managers: learn how to lift conversion rate, AOV, and ARPU through evidence-led CRO. * SaaS/App Product Owners and PMs: learn how to increase sign-ups and improve conversion to free trials, free accounts, and paid users. * UX Researchers (eCommerce/SaaS/Marketplace/Lead Gen): learn how to apply advanced qualitative methods to uncover problems users came to address and real conversion blockers. * Data Analysts: learn how to use quantitative behavioral analysis to identify behavioral patterns that translate into high-quality hypotheses. * Growth Designers: learn how to manifest insights into strong, testable UX/UI solutions that increase A/B test win rate. **Who’s speaking at the meetup** Ihor Sokolov is the co-founder and CEO of Conversion Rate Store, a globally recognized CRO agency. He regularly speaks and serves as a panelist at CRO and digital marketing conferences and podcasts, including Conversion Hotel and Riga Comm. Ihor leads a high-performing optimization team focused on improving eCommerce, SaaS/apps, marketplaces, and lead generation funnels. **Participation criteria in the Website CRO Teardown** * Functional, profitable businesses with clear product-market fit (no pre-revenue startups). * “White-hat” niches only. We do not review porn, casinos, betting, forex, alternative medicine, or adjacent categories. **If your site fits the criteria and you want our CRO strategist to deconstruct its performance, send it now to [cro-meetup-barcelona@conversionrate.store](mailto:cro-meetup-barca@conversionrate.store).** Capacity is limited, so we can’t cover every submission. Reviews are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Todo en un ambiente relajado, abierto y sin juicios – mezcla de deep talks, risas, ideas locas y buena vibra. Ideal para pensadores curiosos, buscadores de paz interior, o simplemente quien quiera conectar con gente interesante. ¡Locals, expats, hablantes de español/inglés/catalán – todos bienvenidos! No hace falta ser experto en filosofía: solo ganas de compartir, escuchar y salir con más luz interior. 🌿😊 **Cuota de participación:** 5€ por encuentro (ayuda a cubrir el espacio y mi proyecto social - o mantenemos cozy y sostenible!)
