Buzoku Meetup | Web3 and AI | Barcelona Join us in Sant Gervasi for Buzoku, a bi monthly casual meetup for people building in Web3, AI, and digital systems. What started as a Web3 focused group is now expanding to include AI builders as well. The format No panels No presentations No agenda We meet at a bar, grab a drink, and talk. That is it. Who comes A mix of: • Engineers and technical builders • Founders and operators • Investors and traders • Designers and curious minds Working across: • Crypto, Web3, and digital assets • AI, agents, and applied machine learning You do not need to be working at the intersection. If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

Hola a todos!! Tenemos una nueva conferencia muy interesante . 2026: Año del salto cuántico. "En año de tribulaciones, no te cambies de país" decía Cervantes. Necesario capear el temporal sin cambios excesivos centrándose en lo pequeño, lo cotidiano. En los tiempos líquidos actuales, terminología generada por Zygmunt Bauman en la que manifiesta la falta de vinculación real en una sociedad individualista , es necesario estabilizar lo que realmente tiene valor, ya que en los cambios presentes, lo esencial que se elige cuidar ahora es lo que nos llevaremos con nosotros. Quedara atrás lo que no esta listo para el futuro. Igual que la Flor del Loto muestra su belleza en medio del lodo, nosotros podemos mostrar la nuestra en medio de todos estos movimientos actuales. Conferencia a cargo de : Ana Isabel Martínez -Economista, Mediadora de conflictos, Adulta Indigo, Naturista, Meditadora y Conferenciante. Sábado 23 de mayo en Restaurante Nova Galicia , C/ Calabria 224 Metro L-5 estación de Entenza, a las 19:00h. OS ESPERAMOS!!

Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

For this month's Meetup, we are partnering with **ERNI** to offer two sessions about: **Scaling Python Analysis with Apache Airflow** and **Stopping an Epidemic using the Atomica package**. \-\-\- Schedule: * 18:30: Welcome * ️ 18:45: Talks * **&** 19:45: Networking, food and drinks! * 21:00: Bye! \-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** From Scripts to Systems: Scaling Your Python Analysis with Apache Airflow * **Who**: Marc Gonzalez Planas * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Data Analysts often face a "production wall" where local Python scripts struggle to meet the demands of a live environment. Moving from ad-hoc analysis to scalable data products requires a shift in focus toward governance, observability, and idempotency. Without proper orchestration, we can fail. Let's learn how to bridge that gap by refactoring standard Python scripts into automated pipelines using Apache Airflow. We will explore the transition to an "orchestration" mindset, focusing on how to use Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and the TaskFlow API to transform modular Python functions into a an automatic system. \-\-\-\- * ➡️ **What:** How to Stop an Epidemic using the Atomica Package * **Who**: Eloisa Pérez Bennetts * ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes * **Language**: English * **Abstract**: Infectious diseases are a major global health challenge, claiming over 13 million lives each year. Despite the availability of interventions – such as vaccination, testing and treatment – determining the most effective strategy can be challenging, as this depends on complex factors like outbreak severity, funding limitations and sociopolitical influences. Computational modelling offers a powerful tool to assess the potential outcomes of different public health responses, but the difficulty of building fit-for-purpose epidemiological models from scratch is a barrier to widespread use. Atomica, a Python-based open source simulation engine, addresses this challenge by simplifying the development of epidemiological models. It allows users to create highly configurable data-driven simulations that incorporate disease transmission, intervention strategies and budget constraints. With its user-friendly design and robust capabilities, Atomica allows us to forecast the potential consequences of public health strategies in specific settings. This insight enables policymakers and health organisations to make evidence-based choices, ultimately improving intervention effectiveness and saving lives. \-\-\-\- ➡️ Location: [ERNI, Edificio El Triangle, Pl. de Catalunya, 1-4, 3º planta, Módulo A y B,](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) [Eixample, 08002 Barcelona](https://www.google.es/maps/place/Erni+Consulting+Catalunya+SLU/@41.3861126,2.1667589,841m/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x12a4a2f3f6878b3d:0x1d734cb8f654a540!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a292c30cca89:0x50852728a14da8e1!8m2!3d41.3861126!4d2.1693392!16s%2Fg%2F11bx456zz0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUxMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \-\-\-\- ➡️ Access Control * The security access control requires an **attendee list** (full name) and a **means of identification** (DNI, NIE, passport) * ⚠️ Make sure you register for the event with your **full name** and **ID**.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
