**[Official Sign Up Link](https://luma.com/6tddiaqw)** Marketing has changed more in the last two years than in the previous twenty. AI tools are reshaping how businesses create content, reach customers, and grow their brand — and the business owners who understand this are pulling ahead fast. This is a hands-on, practical evening designed specifically for business owners who want to understand how to use AI in their marketing — without needing a tech background, a big budget, or an agency on speed dial. Whether you're still figuring out where to start or already experimenting with a few tools, you'll walk away with real strategies, honest advice, and a clearer idea of what to do next. **We'll cover:** * **Content without the headache** — how to use AI to write posts, emails, and ads in a fraction of the time without sounding like a robot * **Getting found online** — how AI is changing search and what that means for how customers discover you * **Knowing your customer better** — using AI tools to understand what your audience actually wants * **What to automate and what to keep human** — because not everything should be handed over to a machine * **Real examples from real businesses** — tools and tactics you can go home and try that same night This isn't a lecture. It's a conversation. Bring your questions, your current marketing struggles, and an open mind. **Whether you're just getting started or already dabbling - you'll leave with clarity, ideas, and a plan.** *** *All levels welcome. No technical background required. Just bring your business brain. Laptop with Claude Desktop Installed Recommended.*

**🎟 Get your tickets: [https://bit.ly/3PBQC85](https://bit.ly/3PBQC85)** **Overview** Product Building Series #2: A 2-Hr workshop to define the right scope for your product before building too many features + Networking **Description** Many digital products start with a clear idea. But as development begins, something quickly happens: More and more features appear. New ideas are added, requests accumulate, and the product grows in multiple directions. Before long, the product becomes harder to build, harder to understand, and harder for users to adopt. One of the most common challenges for founders and builders is deciding: **What should our product actually include?** In this practical workshop, we will explore how to define the right scope for your product and avoid the trap of building too much too early. You will learn a simple way to identify the core capabilities your product needs and distinguish them from secondary features. **What You’ll Learn** This workshop is part of the Product Building Series. Together, the three workshops provide a complete path from idea → product scope → product structure, helping you move from concept to a clear and scalable product. In this workshop we will explore: • Why many products become overloaded with features • The difference between features and product capabilities • How to identify the core capabilities of your product • How to reduce complexity and focus on what truly matters. Through practical examples, you will see how successful digital products focus on a small number of clear capabilities rather than trying to do everything at once. **What You’ll Leave With** Participants will leave with a Product Scope Canvas for their idea or product. By the end of the workshop you will have: ✔ A clearer definition of your product’s core capabilities ✔ A better understanding of which features are essential vs optional ✔ A structured Product Scope Canvas you can use to refine your product roadmap ✔ A practical framework to avoid feature overload as your product grows. **Who This Workshop Is For** This workshop is ideal for: • founders and startup builders • people working on a new app or SaaS idea • indie hackers and makers • early product teams defining what to build. No technical background is required. **Workshop Agenda (2 hours)** 1.Welcome & Introduction *Why defining product scope is one of the hardest parts of building digital products.* 2.Why Products Become Feature-Heavy *Common mistakes when defining product functionality.* 3.Features vs Capabilities *Understanding the difference and why it matters.* 4.Real Product Example *How successful products define a small set of core capabilities.* 5.Practical Exercise *Define the core capabilities of your own product using the Product Scope Canvas.* 6.Discussion & Insights *Participants share their discoveries and refine their product scope.* 7.Wrap-Up & Next Steps **What to Bring** Bring a product idea, app idea, or feature you are planning to build. You will work directly on it during the workshop. We kindly ask participants to arrive about 10 minutes earlier, as the workshop will start promptly at 18:30. **Format** - Interactive workshop - Small group discussion - Practical exercise After the workshop, participants are invited to continue the conversation during an informal **networking session** at Sisi Bar on the top floor, where we can share experiences and enjoy the beautiful views of Barcelona together. 🎟 **Get your tickets**: [https://bit.ly/3PBQC85](https://bit.ly/3PBQC85)

On **April 17th**, Workhall Sant Gervasi opens its doors for **6 entrepreneurs** to spend a full workday together. No pitching contests. No panels. Just a day of real work, good coffee, and the kind of conversations that only happen when people who are building things share a table. **What's included:** * Full-day access to the coworking space (10:00 – 18:00) * Wi-Fi & workspace * Brunch together at 11:00 — the best way to break the ice * A small group of 6 entrepreneurs max — no crowds, real connections **Who is this for?** Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent professionals who want to get out of isolation and work around people who get it. **Why only 6 spots?** Because networking doesn't happen in a room of 50 strangers.

**Vision Board Workshop: Craft Your Future with Intention** *What if you could map out the future you truly want, not with a spreadsheet, but with a tool backed by neuroscience?* Join us for this Vision Board Workshop, an intimate, hands-on session where you'll go beyond vague resolutions and build a powerful visual roadmap for your life and career. A vision board isn't wishful thinking. It's a planning instrument that combines strategic thinking with neuroplasticity, engaging your brain's visual centers to drive real motivation and action. This workshop is led by Mariana Lira, a business consultant with over 10 years of experience building and scaling companies. She is also the co-founder of Hall Partners, a property management company. With degrees in both Business Administration and Design, Mariana helps entrepreneurs and professionals bridge the gap between vision and execution, and she'll guide you through a process that turns abstract aspirations into a clear, actionable roadmap. **Here's how the evening will unfold:** 1. We'll start with a brief introduction to the theory behind planning, vision boards, and neuroplasticity — understanding why this works. 2. Then you'll move into a guided planning phase to define what truly matters to you. 3. Finally, you'll build your own vision board using magazines, printed images, and a canvas provided for each participant. You'll walk away with a finished vision board, greater clarity on the future you want to build, and a practical understanding of how visual planning fuels intentional action. With only 6 spots available, this is a focused, high-quality experience designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone ready to plan their next chapter with purpose. 📅 April 18, 2026 · 10AM – 13PM 🗣️ English 👥 6 spots (intimate group) 💰 90€ (canvas and materials included) 💻 Please bring your laptop 📍 Workhall Sant Gervasi, Barcelona (Carrer d'Aribau 203, 5th floor).
