Ready for our Product Tank BCN March edition? 🚀 **AI Changed How We Build Product. But Nobody's Talking About What It's Doing to Us.** Two talks. Two sides of the same coin. 🎤 **[Emma Sesmero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-sesmero/), VP of Product @ Factorial** has a large product organization and they've been rethinking how their teams work with AI. Not as an experiment, but as a real shift in their day-to-day. Emma will share what actually changed: how they've adapted their product ways of working, what's working, and what they've learned along the way. 🎤 **[Kax Uson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaxuson/), Leadership & Career Coach** The pressure to adopt AI, the shifting expectations, the constant feeling that you're falling behind — it's accelerating burnout across product teams. Kax will talk about how to recognize it, manage it, and build sustainable ways of working when everything around you is changing. One talk about how AI is transforming the work. One about how to make sure the work doesn't break you. 📍 **Location:** Factorial HQ - Carrer de la Llacuna, 56, Building C ("All Hands" room) 🕒 **Time:** Doors open at 6:30 PM \| Event starts at 6:45 PM 🎟 **RSVP –** Important Note: * Your RSVP matters! Our events often reach full capacity, and many people end up on the waitlist. If you can no longer attend, please **update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance** so someone else can take your spot. * Also, please **make sure your RSVP details are correct**, as you’ll need a valid ID to enter the building. Join us for an evening filled with engaging discussions and an opportunity to connect with fellow product enthusiasts!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations. After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.

We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.

Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
