**What it takes to work as a Product Trio in an AI-first world?** Product Tank Barcelona is back — and this time we're bringing the full squad. This June, we're co-hosting ProductTank Barcelona at **G2's brand new Barcelona office** for a conversation that's long overdue: what does cross-functional collaboration actually look like when AI changes everything about how we build? **Three voices. One stage.** We'll hear from a PM, an Engineer, and a Designer — each sharing their perspective on what it takes to work as a product trio in an AI-first world. No silos. No hand-offs. Just honest lessons from teams doing it in practice. Together, they'll explore: * What the "Single Stack Builder" model means in practice * Why shipping a feature is no longer the goal — driving outcomes is the only measure of success * How PMs, designers, and engineers prototype together, teach each other, and actually move the needle on OKRs 🎤 **Meet the Speakers** **Karine K. Nascimento** — Managing VP of Product, G2 Karine leads buyer product across G2's Barcelona hub, overseeing G2.AI, G2, Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice following G2's acquisition of Gartner Digital Markets.

AI provides an incredible opportunity for innovation and disruption, but there's a problem. The data that powers AI is built for humans, and Agents require a new stack - one that is open, interoperable, and free from vendor lock-in. The principles of open data infrastructure enable humans and their agents to create powerful workflows without vendor lock-in. **19:40** 🎙️ **"AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents"**, [Sonia Aguilar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-aguilar-01378512a/) \- Staff Software Engineer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/). AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model. **20:10 - 21:00**: Networking & Drinks 🍻🍕 See you there 👋 Grafana & Friends Barcelona

The music industry is evolving rapidly. We’re moving from traditional A&R and organic luck to generative production and algorithmic chart dominance. Today, music charts operate exactly like SEO in search requests, and the entire playing field is transforming before our eyes. It’s time to sync up and discuss how to engineer hits, evaluate trends, and scale these tools effectively. ​Join us this Wednesday (June 17) with Valey Sharipov for a deep dive "alchemy session" into generative music production and the mechanics of modern hit-making. ​Key Topics: ​**Generative Music Production:** Practical patterns and workflows for creating high-quality, market-ready tracks using the latest AI audio tools. ​**Chart SEO & Controlled Virality:** Understanding how streaming platforms rank music. We'll explore how to reverse-engineer the algorithms and engineer predictable viral moments for your releases. ​**Audience Preference Evaluation:** Data-driven approaches and AI analytics to measure what listeners actually want to hear, minimizing the guesswork in hit-making. ​**The Business of Gen-Audio:** Moving from experimental generation to real monetization—how to build a production pipeline that brings clear, tangible money to artists and producers. ​Open Discussion: Bring your own tracks, use cases, failures, and breakthroughs. Whether it's bypassing algorithmic platform biases, managing erratic audio generation behavior, or building the perfect release strategy — let’s figure it out together.

In this talk, I share how I built a personal AI system that sees the same inputs I do: Slack channels, meeting transcripts, Notion docs, people profiles. The system learns my patterns over time and surfaces insights before action — not after. Through six concrete principles and real examples, I show what it means to architect context instead of carrying it in your head. And what stays irreversibly human: presence in 1:1s, lead-by-example moments, empathy in hard conversations. 19:00 - **Don't Delegate Understanding,** Pau Ramon, CEO at Ramensoft. Is this an AI talk or a Leadership talk? There's only one way to know. 19:25 – Closing remarks 19:30 – Networking with Food & Drinks 21:00 – Close Spaces are limited – **RSVP to secure your spot** and join a community of engineering leaders who are shaping the future of tech!

Important: Register on [AICamp website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061814) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Washington DC. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food/drink and networking \* 6:00pm\~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:00pm: Happy Hour at Courthouse Social (cross the street) **Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents** **Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder) **Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale. **Speakers:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community.

Learn to manage stress and achieve self-growth through simple relaxation and Meditation. Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, modern, methodical approach to meditation. Rather than homing in on your breath or repeating a mantra, you simply focus inward, on your heart, to cultivate inner strength and serenity.

It focuses on the heart, allowing individuals to connect with themselves on a deeper level, and ultimately achieve peace, relaxation, and clarity. It is a practice that encourages patience, self-compassion, and acceptance, helping cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment. This practice is offered with love and at no cost
