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. 📅 **Saturday 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.

Hi beautiful! I’m Lara, founder of BHE, and I created something **powerful again for you** this time! A personal branding & visibility workshop designed for you if you know you are meant for more, and are tired of being overlooked, underestimated, or not fully recognised for the value you bring👏🏻! Because let’s be honest…being talented is not enough anymore. You can have amazing ideas, work hard, be intelligent, and still not get the opportunities, recognition, or respect you deserve if people don’t fully understand your value. And no, this is not about becoming louder, more fake, or pretending to be someone you’re not 😌. This is about learning how to **market yourself like the woman you want to become** and communicate your value in a way people actually remember YOU. **WHO ARE WE?** The **Becoming Her Empire** is a global community for young, ambitious women who have always felt different. You might have **dreams that are “too big”**, never felt like you belonged with others, and were seen as **“too wild”**, **“too much”,** or some other label people wanted to put on you. Now you are ready to turn pain into power and finally have a life you deserve! (or at least you want to be). In our events, there is **no pressure to be anything but yourself**. You are not too young, too inexperienced. In fact, your age is an advantage here! One of the main reasons we exist is also **to make an impact**, and 20% of the profit will be donated to Girls Not Brides, a global partnership working to end child marriage and empower young girls worldwide. **WHY JOIN US?** If you feel like: * You have ideas, but struggle to express them confidently * You know your value, but others don’t always see it * You want to grow in business, marketing, or your career, but don’t know how to stand out * You are tired of being overlooked in rooms where being loud seems to be the only way to win * You want recognition for your work, ideas, and ambition, without becoming someone you’re not If you feel seen by any of these. Then this event is for you. **YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:** 🌹 **Branding & Visibility Workshop** A powerful 1-hour session with me, a Transformational Coach with a Master's in Brand Management, where you will learn how to own your voice, position yourself, and market who you are in a way that feels authentic, not forced. 🌹 **Guest Expert: Juliane Hanke** An amazing woman, a lecturer and Senior Marketing Professional with 10+ years of hands-on experience in digital marketing and growth strategy, who challenges the way we think about visibility, career development, and success in the age of AI. She helps women learn how to communicate their value, take ownership of their path, and be seen without losing themselves. 🌹 **Genuine Networking** A safe space to connect with other ambitious women who are on a similar journey as you, where conversations go deeper than surface level, and you can ask our special guest any questions you want. 🌹 **Coffee & VIP Experience** ☕️ Each woman receives one coffee and a personalised VIP experience designed to remind you of who the f\*ck you are. **WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:** * How to confidently express your ideas and opinions * How to position yourself in business and marketing so people take you seriously * How to stop being overlooked without changing who you are * How to build visibility in a way that feels aligned with your personality * and most importantly, how to start showing up as the woman you actually want to become! **NOT CONVINCED YET? LET ME BREAK IT DOWN** In the event you will learn how you can: * **embody** the woman you want to become even if you have never done it before, * learn about **power of personal branding**, and how you can market yourself while staying true to who you are * make needed changes in your life to step closer to HER This is a **paid event (€20)** with 10 limited spots to ensure a high-quality, VIP experience for you. Your **seat is confirmed when you reserve and complete payment via Luma**✨️! To reserve your seat[, click on this text here.](https://luma.com/00wyyfbg) Join us, and let's make an impact together while creating the lives we truly deserve 🌹! **EVENT RULES** To keep this a safe and special experience for you, I want to clarify that this event is for women and those who identify as female only. I also kindly ask all the members of the event to have their full name and a clear face photo. Sadly, the requests that don't have this will be denied. With love, Lara

The Book Club is simply hosting the event for the community and is not affiliated with, nor receiving any commission from, any services or offers shared during the session. Because this Human Design session is based on listening, interaction, and a calm atmosphere, we decided to hold it indoors rather than in the park where we usually have our meetups, so everyone can fully enjoy the experience without background noise or distractions. When held in an indoor venue, the venue requires a small participation fee per person (€7), which includes a basic drink or refreshment, depending on the venue. This fee would go directly to the venue hosting the event and not to The Book Club or the guest host. **Make sure to also follow us on Instagram for Past events photos:** [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thebookclubbcn/) @thebookclubbcn *\*By attending to our Events you automatically consent to have your pictures taken and shared for promotional purposes.* *\*The Book Club is a safe & positive space for everyone to share and grow together, we do not allow the consumption of alcohol or smoking during the event.*

En esta conferencia exploraremos las enseñanzas fundamentales de *Pide y se te dará* de Esther Hicks, una obra que revela cómo nuestros pensamientos, emociones y creencias influyen directamente en lo que atraemos. Profundizaremos en el arte de pedir de forma consciente, entendiendo que no se trata solo de desear, sino de alinear nuestra vibración con aquello que queremos manifestar. Descubriremos por qué muchas veces pedimos pero no recibimos, y qué bloqueos internos están interfiriendo en ese proceso. Veremos cómo transformar nuestra mentalidad, elevar nuestro estado emocional y conectar con una frecuencia que permita que nuestras peticiones se materialicen de manera natural. Porque no se trata de esfuerzo, sino de alineación. No se trata de lucha, sino de coherencia interna. Un encuentro para comprender, aplicar y experimentar el poder de la creación consciente. ✨ Una invitación a pedir con claridad. 🔥 Una oportunidad para aprender a manifestar tu realidad. **Ponente:** Alejandro Alonso **Aportación**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Conferencia y preguntas

In 2024, a personal moment of crisis inspired Mary to create a tool that could help others facing similar challenges. What began as a resource for veterans quickly evolved into a broader solution designed to support individuals and families navigating autism, mental health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, medical conditions, and other situations where communication can become difficult during times of stress. *** ## About the Business Craft Alchemy has developed the **Anchor Tag Support System**, a personalized QR-based support hub that helps individuals quickly access calming tools, emergency contacts, support resources, and personalized information when they need it most.
