Beyond the co-pilot: When AI becomes your team's shared language
Meetup Details
Dear colleagues,
IxDF Barcelona is thrilled to welcome you to our next event. This session explores how AI is dissolving traditional skill silos, enabling designers to become truly multidisciplinary creators, and magnifying what humans do best — while also introducing new ways teams can be misled or pushed off-course.
Hosted at eDreams ODIGEO's Barcelona offices, the event features two guest speakers with experience across global technology and design consulting. Each will share practical insights from their work, focusing on how design practices are adopted, adapted, and reinvented inside organizations.
This is an opportunity to explore fresh perspectives on how design can support culture, structure, and strategy — and to connect with peers across Barcelona’s UX and product community.

💡 What you’ll learn
You’re navigating an uncomfortable paradox: AI makes many things faster — yet the work that matters most still relies on irreplaceable human elements.
This meetup isn’t about celebrating AI. It’s about developing the wisdom to use it well.
Design isn’t being replaced by AI. It’s being radically transformed.
Join us to learn how to lead that transformation with intention and clarity.
