Usability Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Workshop Series: 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞
Getting Started with Bedrock AgentCore
Workshop will be led by AWS Solution Architect Daz Akbarov.
As part of our ongoing AWS workshop series, AWS UG Baku together with AWS specialists is hosting a hands-on workshop focused on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and modern agentic AI architectures.
AI agents remain one of the hottest topics in modern engineering - but building production-style agentic systems involves much more than prompts and chat interfaces.
During this session, participants will get introduced to practical concepts around:
• Agent runtimes
• Memory and context handling
• Gateways and identity
• Agent orchestration
• MCP integrations
• Operational patterns behind real-world AI agent systems on AWS
The workshop is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, AI enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in understanding how modern AI agent systems are built and operated in practice.
The session will be led by Daz Akbarov, Almas Moldakanov, and Mahir Garibli together with the AWS UG Baku community team.
⚠️ This is a hands-on workshop. Please bring your laptop to fully participate in the exercises.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
