How do we tell our own stories? What do our personal histories say about the collective human experience? The biggest advice from writing professors is usually to “write what you know,” and nowhere is this more evident than in autobiographical writing – be it fiction, non-fiction, poetry or genre-bending works. Authors from Charlotte Brontë to Ocean Vuong have used their personal experiences to dictate their writing and capture a universal message that strikes a chord with others. In this workshop, **we’ll explore how to channel our inner stories and write from a place that moves us** – at the end of the day, whether or not what ends up on paper is “factually true” will be beside the point. **Please bring a notebook and pen, or a computer or tablet, in order to do a few writing exercises. You can also purchase notebooks at the bookshop.** *About the host:* **Lucia Benavides** is an Argentine-American writer and journalist. She has published several personal essays in LA Review of Books, Literary Hub and The Washington Post. From 2017 to 2022, she served as the NPR correspondent from Spain. She’s currently working on her first novel.

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com) at their beautiful office in Poblenou, in the heart of Barcelona's innovation district. **Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You** As AI accelerates the pace of production, the fear of being "out-paced" is real. But designers already hold the key to the future: the Design System. Far from just a library of components, a robust Design System sits at the critical intersection of design and code—the exact language AI speaks. In this talk, we’ll explore why the foundations you’ve already built are the ultimate launchpad for AI-driven scale and speed. Learn how to pivot your design system from a static resource into an automated engine, ensuring that as we scale at the speed of light, Design remains the pilot, not just a passenger. **Speaker** [Nikki Plyem](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkiplyem/) is Design Manager of Product Platform at Docplanner. With over 15 years in the design industry, Nikki leads the design in the Product Platform team at Docplanner, where she focuses on building the systems and services that allow design to scale globally. Her career spans award-winning agencies and high-growth Fintech, but her unique approach to design systems is rooted in her earlier life in New York City. Before pivoting to design, Nikki spent years as a professional improviser with a background in Theater and Sociology—disciplines that taught her how to navigate complex human systems and collaborate in real-time. **Hosts** This event is hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com), a global healthcare platform focused on making access to care simpler, from discovery to booking.

**Xerrada Abril 2026 BCN FREE SOFTWARE** Ponent: Alberto Larraz, cofundador d'IsardVDI IsardVDI va néixer fa més de 14 anys com a resposta a una necessitat molt concreta: cobrir el buit que hi havia a l'ecosistema del programari lliure a l'hora d'oferir una alternativa real a solucions propietàries com Citrix o VMware Horizon en entorns educatius que no es podien permetre el cost d'aquestes solucions. El que va començar com un projecte per desplegar escriptoris virtuals ha anat creixent i transformant-se al ritme del feedback de la seva comunitat d'usuaris, incorporant funcionalitats que avui el converteixen en una eina versàtil: muntatge d'escenaris de ciberseguretat, democratització de l'accés a escriptoris amb capacitats de GPU, integració de dispositius remots i locals o la gestió avançada d'usuaris i plantilles. En aquesta xerrada explicarem com va ser aquest recorregut i ens aturarem especialment en un dels girs més interessants del projecte: la gestió de GPUs. El que originalment es va desenvolupar per donar suport a escriptoris amb acceleració gràfica i 3D s'ha convertit ara en la base sobre la qual desplegem instàncies per executar inferències locals amb models d'IA. Compartirem l'arquitectura, les decisions tècniques preses pel camí i els reptes d'aprofitar infraestructura pensada per a VDI en càrregues de treball d'IA. Mostrarem com IsardVDI t'ajuda a treure profit a la teva infraestructura per generar imatges, executar xats LLM i fer servir assistents de codi sobre models d'IA locals i sobirans. 📅 **Data:** 28 d'abril ⏰ **Hora d'inici de la xerrada:** 19:00 h 📍 **Ubicació:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

We practice, dance, and enjoy a BYOB bottle of your favorite wine at the Dublin Ballroom off Sawmill, North, and “milonga” is a social event for tango dancing where dancers socialize. A “*practica*” is an informal social event for tango dancing where dancers focus on practicing the dance; while a “*practilonga*” combines the relaxed atmosphere of a “*practica*” with the format of a “milonga.” We are doing it all! ***Cost is $10 payable to the Teacher.*** *Cost is for the cost of the venue and covers some snacks.* We have had fun doing this event in the past. Please arrive promptly as lessons begin at 2pm. Don't worry about bringing a partner as there will be others at the event from outside the group that: a) might have a clue and b) won't step on your toes. The event is BYOB (similar to our Salsa events), so bring your favorite and a wine glass. We will likely find a place for dinner and drinks after the dance.
