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.

When she’s not conducting research or leading cross-functional teams, she’s sharing knowledge with the UX community. Stefi is passionate about mentoring women in tech and is currently a professor at Elisava Design University in Barcelona.
Iris Latour
Iris is a UX researcher and founder with experience spanning startups, scaleups, and enterprise environments. Trained in responsible AI practice, she is dedicated to actionable ethical research and to understanding how AI reshapes discovery and collaboration within product teams.

💡 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.
