Hello and happy Monday, we hope you had a great weekend!

This week, Sónar Festival of music, creativity and technology comes to Barcelona, as well as the international Sonar +D congress. Barcinno will be in attendance at the Startup Garden and we look forward to catching a glimpse into the future of the creative technology ecosystem!

On Monday, June 18th, World Women's Web, Barcinno, UAL Futures and Futurefunded have come together to bring you an inspiring night on “How to create a feminist internet” at One Co Work, Marina Port Vell. The evening features special guests Dr. Charlotte Webb, Dr Mara Balestrini, Laura Fernandez and Marta Ros. Register here!

Lastly, our good friends at OneCoWork are opening their new Plaça Catalunya location later this month! Barcinno readers get a 30% discount on membership, so if you want a sneak peak at Barcelona's new 5-star coworking space, book your free tour here.

OneCoWork is also hiring a Social Media Manager, Community Managers and a Junior Accountant.

Ok, that's enough from me. Have a great week and we'll see you out there!
