A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

Dudas, miedo, incertidumbre, decisiones difíciles... instantes en los que nuestra brújula interior parece dejar de funcionar. Hace más de dos mil años, el *Bhagavad Gita* abordó estas mismas preguntas a través de la historia de Arjuna, un guerrero paralizado ante el mayor desafío de su vida. Lo que sigue es uno de los diálogos más profundos jamás escritos sobre el propósito, el sentido de la existencia, el deber, la libertad y la paz interior. En esta conferencia descubriremos cómo las enseñanzas atemporales del *Bhagavad Gita* pueden ayudarnos a afrontar los conflictos de la vida moderna con mayor claridad, fortaleza y serenidad. Exploraremos cómo transformar el miedo en coraje, la confusión en sabiduría y la acción cotidiana en un camino de crecimiento personal y espiritual. Una invitación a descubrir una espiritualidad práctica, profunda y sorprendentemente actual, diseñada para personas reales que buscan respuestas auténticas a las grandes preguntas de la vida. **¿Qué aprenderás?** * El significado simbólico del viaje de Arjuna y su aplicación a nuestra vida. * Cómo tomar decisiones alineadas con nuestros valores y propósito. * La diferencia entre actuar desde el ego o desde una conciencia más elevada. * Herramientas para gestionar la incertidumbre, el miedo y los cambios vitales. * Claves para encontrar paz interior sin renunciar a la acción y a los desafíos del mundo. **Una conferencia para quienes sienten que ha llegado el momento de dejar de sobrevivir y empezar a vivir con mayor consciencia, dirección y significado.** **Ponente:** Chaturika Sakhi - Facilitadora de Breathwork con enfoque ACT (Respiración Consciente), IG: [www.instagram.com/elartedehabitar_se](www.instagram.com/elartedehabitar_se) **Colaboración**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Conferencia y preguntas

Curious about how AI is transforming the way we build and grow businesses? Join us for a relaxed networking night in Barcelona where entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals come together to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities. 📅 **Sunday at 20:00** 📍 **Unplug Bar – Carrer Ataülf 18, Barcelona** 🍸 **Free Access:** Join us for free! We simply ask guests to purchase a minimum drink (€4) to support the venue. I have experience creating and implementing AI solutions for businesses, especially in the real estate and tourism sectors. During this meetup, we’ll talk about how AI is being applied in business right now — from automating processes and improving customer experience to creating travel solutions, digital products, and new business models. 💡 Real examples we’ll discuss: • How AI can be used in real estate to automate client communication, qualify leads, improve property matching, and create faster follow-up systems • How AI can be applied in tourism to create smarter travel experiences, including virtual guides, personalized itineraries, and multilingual support • How automation can reduce costs, save time, and increase efficiency in service-based businesses 💡 What we’ll cover: • How AI can help you grow your business • Practical ways to implement AI today • Opportunities in travel, tech, and digital business • Networking, collaboration, and idea sharing This is not a formal event — it’s a casual space to meet other entrepreneurs, build connections, exchange contacts, and explore ways to collaborate and create business opportunities together 🤝 Grab a drink, meet like-minded people, and talk about ideas in a relaxed atmosphere 🍻 We’ll also share a real example of how travelers are exploring Barcelona using AI-powered tools and virtual guides. 👉 You can check the concept here: [https://tour-mate.com/](https://tour-mate.com/) Whether you're building something, starting out, or just curious about AI and business — you're welcome to join 🙌 Let’s connect, share ideas, and grow together.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
