Applying AI Events in Barcelona
"AI research" and "AI in production" are two pretty different worlds at this point. This page collects events from the production side: how teams integrate LLMs into real products, build agents that are worth trusting, wire up RAG pipelines that don't quietly hallucinate, and ship Copilot-style features without breaking the rest of the app. Agentic coding is a particularly active thread right now, with dedicated meetups and studios popping up across the continent.
This page narrows the Barcelona calendar to Applying AI events. It's a subset of Spain's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Barcelona runs Spain's largest tech-event calendar. Software engineering meetups are particularly deep: Python, JavaScript, and the various mobile communities (iOS, Android, cross-platform) all sustain strong monthly rhythms. The product-management and design scenes are active alongside, partly fueled by the concentration of international scaleups and remote teams in the city.

🍺 Agentic Coding Meetup — Devs & Drinks
Barcelona, 🇪🇸 Spain
No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one.
This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now.
We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required.
WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t
What we talk about (but not limited to):
*Agentic coding workflows and tooling
- Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice
*Multi-agent architectures and orchestration - AI-native product building
*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it
Who should come: Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better.
Format: Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.
Barcelona: Beyond the hype: real AI use cases from the people doing the work
Barcelona, 🇪🇸 Spain
‼️IMPORTANT! Please register on Luma Page ‼️
Everyone is talking about AI. Few are sharing what actually happens after the headlines.
What does AI look like when it moves beyond the hype, LinkedIn hot takes, and “10 prompts that will change your life” energy? How are people really using it inside startups, businesses, education, community building, and product development?
Join us for an evening of practical insights from founders, builders, educators, and innovators who use AI in real projects — not just talk about it.
Hosted by Projector Global Community by @prjctr_institute, in collaboration with Xolo and ESEI business school Barcelona, this event is designed for people who want to understand where AI creates real value today: what works, what doesn’t, what’s still messy, and how AI is changing the way we build, collaborate, learn, and grow.
Together, we’ll unpack:
→ How AI is being used in real projects across different industries
→ What happens after the first excitement and experimentation stage
→ Where AI creates actual business, product, educational, and community value
→ What founders, educators, and builders are learning from using AI in practice
→ What still doesn’t work as smoothly as everyone pretends
→ How to think about AI not as a trend, but as a working tool
And yes, we’ll also have an interactive panel discussion where speakers will share their honest takes, real examples, and lessons learned from working with AI in different contexts. Practical. Human. No “AI will replace us all by Monday” drama.
Speakers:
→ Arie Elbelman — Community Builder, Educator & Facilitator
→ Paolo Giordano — CEO at FlyKube
→ Oleksiy Denysyuk — Startup Mentor & Adviser
For whom:
→ Entrepreneurs and founders exploring AI for business growth
→ Professionals who want to use AI more strategically at work
→ Students and early-career specialists curious about real AI applications
→ Educators, community builders, and creators experimenting with AI
→ Product people, marketers, operators, and builders looking for practical use cases
→ Anyone who wants to understand AI beyond the hype and use it with more clarity

DeepTech Talks BCN: From Data Autonomy to Adaptive AI
Barcelona, 🇪🇸 Spain
DOORS OPEN: 18:30
TALKS START: 19:00
NETWORKING: 20:00 - 21:30
Marta Expósito Ventura, PhD, Head of Data, Stark Future
Africa Perianez, Co-founder & CEO, Causal Foundry
Marta Esposito is Head of Data at Stark Future, an electric motorcycle company building high-performance, connected vehicles at the intersection of hardware, software, manufacturing and data.
In her talk, Marta will explore what it takes to move a data function away from reactive ticket queues and towards a more autonomous operating model. As connected products generate increasingly rich streams of operational, product and user data, the role of data teams changes: from responding to requests, to enabling better decisions across the organisation.
Her session will look at the engineering, organisational and cultural shift behind data autonomy: how teams structure data work, prioritise internal demand, build trust in data products and move closer to the real systems they support.
Africa Perianez is Co-founder and CEO of Causal Foundry, where she leads a team of engineers and AI scientists building reinforcement learning and personalisation technologies for real-world operational decision-making.
Her work focuses on adaptive AI infrastructure that supports decisions across healthcare, logistics, behavioural nudging, demand forecasting, stockout prevention and resource allocation. Causal Foundry works with global partners including the Gates Foundation, Google.org, GAVI, Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, applying AI in environments where decisions are complex, resources are constrained and impact matters.
In this talk, Africa will explore how AI systems move beyond prediction and dashboards into adaptive decision support. What does it take to build systems that can operate across changing contexts, local constraints and human behaviour? And how do you design AI that supports better decisions without pretending the real world is cleaner than it is?
Some of the most interesting work in AI today is not just about building more powerful models. It is about turning data, machine learning and decision intelligence into systems that people and organisations can actually use.
In this DeepTech Talks edition, Marta and Africa will explore two complementary sides of applied AI: how data teams become more autonomous inside complex organisations, and how adaptive AI systems support operational decisions in the real world.
You’ll hear about:
- How data teams move from reactive service models to autonomous data products
- What it takes to build AI systems that support operational decision-making
- How reinforcement learning and personalisation can be applied beyond consumer tech
- The gap between dashboards, predictions and decisions that actually change outcomes
- How technical teams work with messy real-world systems, constraints and stakeholders
Expect a grounded conversation about AI that becomes s part of how organisations sense, decide and act.
Who Should Come?- Data scientists, ML engineers and AI engineers
- Data leaders, analytics leaders and engineering managers
- Product leaders working with data-heavy or AI-enabled systems
- Deep tech founders and technical operators
- People working across healthtech, mobility, logistics, manufacturing or decision intelligence
- Anyone curious about how applied AI becomes operational infrastructure
We’ll have food and drinks. 🍷🍕
Come ready to meet engineers, founders, esearchers, data leaders and technology builders working on the next generation of applied AI systems.
Spaces are limited, so grab your spot on Meetup while you can.
