Women's Business Networking

**Discovery starts here! La parte del proceso que nadie te enseña** ¿Qué pasa cuando el equipo deja de caber en una mesa? Cuando ya no basta con mirarse a la cara para saber por dónde va cada uno. Cuando lo informal deja de escalar y hay que inventar una forma nueva de empezar las cosas. Esta es la historia de cómo Agustina Segura, Senior Product Manager en Total Energies y Jessica Siruno, Product Designer de Business Insights, aprendieron a trabajar juntas en ese momento exacto: el del Discovery. Cuatro versiones, muchos tropiezos y algunas conversaciones que cambiaron la forma en que entendemos nuestro trabajo. Hablaremos de lo que se rompe cuando un equipo crece, de las decisiones que se toman en pasillos paralelos, y de cómo aprendimos a hacer visible lo que antes dábamos por hecho. Pero sobre todo, hablaremos de personas — de las que diseñan, de las que planifican, de las que desarrollan — y de cómo encontrar una forma común de empezar. Una charla sobre lo que pasa antes de que pase algo. Y sobre por qué casi siempre se nos olvida prepararlo. Al terminar, habrá tiempo para debatir y hacer networking con unos refrigerios en la terraza de Aticco Verdaguer! Agenda: 18;30 - 19:10 - Charla B! talks: Discovery starts here! 19:10- 20:00 - Networking con cervezas en la terraza Reserva tu plaza: https://bit.ly/42ZcihU

**Evento formativo + networking: EL NETWORKING NO SE IMPROVISA. SE ENTRENA.** La mayoría de las personas hacen networking… pero muy pocas generan negocio. Reparten tarjetas. Hablan mucho. Conectan poco. Charly Relaño, mentor de líderes y Director de Formación en KCN, te enseñará cómo convertir cada conversación en una oportunidad real… sin forzar, sin vender humo y sin parecer uno más. 👉 Cómo detectar talento y oportunidades en minutos 👉 Cómo generar conexión real (no postureo) 👉 Cómo transformar contactos en negocio Ahora la pregunta incómoda: ¿Estás haciendo networking… o solo estás asistiendo a eventos?

**Travel & Leisure x AI — Barcelona** The travel industry has changed more in the last two years than in the previous twenty. The way travelers discover hotels, plan trips, book experiences, and choose where to eat is being quietly rewritten by AI — and the operators who understand this are pulling ahead fast. This is a **free, half-guided networking evening** built to bring two worlds into the same room: people running travel & leisure businesses (hotels, tour operators, restaurants, agencies, activity providers, transport, retail) and the founders, builders, and practitioners actually shipping useful AI tools. Not a lecture. Not a panel. Not pitches from a stage. We'll kick things off with a short, guided framing of the most interesting shifts happening right now — then open the room up for real conversations between people who can actually help each other. Whether you run a boutique hotel in the Gothic Quarter, manage a tour company, or build AI products looking for sharper use cases — this is the room. What you can expect to hear in conversations: * **How travellers actually find you now** — AI search, ChatGPT recommendations, and what's replacing Google for trip planning * **Personalisation that doesn't feel creepy** — tailoring offers, itineraries, and follow-ups to each guest without a bigger team * **Multilingual by default** — handling enquiries, reviews, and content across every market your guests come from * **Revenue, demand, and pricing** — what AI is doing to forecasting and booking conversion right now * **What to automate and what to keep human** — because hospitality is still a people business Come with your current bottlenecks, your half-baked ideas, and the question you've been meaning to ask someone smarter than Google. **Free to attend.** All levels welcome — operators, founders, AI builders, and the curious in between. No technical background needed. Just bring your business brain and a willingness to share what you're working on.

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.
