On May 22nd, montevive.ai/ was proud to once again sponsor the AiBirras event, this time held at the modern facilities of Oracle Málaga. With over 70 attendees, this gathering exceeded all expectations, solidifying itself as a unique space where artificial intelligence and informal networking merged in a relaxed and productive atmosphere.

An Innovative and Multicultural Format

One of the most notable features of the event was its hybrid "Spanglish" format, where some presentations were delivered in English and others in Spanish. This decision not only reflected the international diversity of our tech community in Málaga but also greatly enriched the conversations and exchange of ideas among professionals from different backgrounds.

The choice of this bilingual format created an inclusive and global atmosphere while maintaining the closeness and warmth that characterizes the Málaga tech community, allowing attendees to enjoy the best of both linguistic worlds in a technical context.

A Menu of Top-Tier Tech Tapas

The AiBirras program stood out for the quality of its "tech tapas," concise and high-impact presentations:

Tapa 1: Develop Future Applications with Data and AI
Chef: Marta Tolosa

In this presentation, attendees discovered Oracle's development platform, specifically designed to help users tackle challenges with AI and achieve a strong ROI from artificial intelligence initiatives and projects. Marta demonstrated how Oracle's technology is positioning companies to maximize the value of their AI investments.

It was especially interesting to learn about everything Oracle offers through its OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). She particularly highlighted its Code Assistant, a fascinating tool that allows converting legacy Cobol code into modern Java, demonstrating how AI can assist in modernizing critical business systems.

Tapa 2: Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Systems in Industrial Environments
Chef: Diego Hueltes

Diego immersed us in a deep exploration of implementing AI systems in industrial environments, with special attention to the adoption status and trends in the Spanish industry. His talk covered everything from production optimization and complex processes to advanced computer vision applications via Deep Learning and the implementation of virtual sensors, offering practical and tangible examples.

The real use cases presented were truly inspiring, but perhaps the most revealing aspect was noting the lack of digitalization that still exists in many sectors. As Diego rightly pointed out, without a solid digital foundation, AI is of little use. This reflection highlights that before implementing artificial intelligence, companies must secure their digital fundamentals.

Tapa 3: Building a Multi-Cloud Autonomous Security Analyst
Chef: Toni de la Fuente

Toni addressed one of the greatest current challenges: security in increasingly complex, distributed, and dynamic cloud environments. His presentation explored the design and implementation of an AI-driven autonomous security analyst for multi-cloud ecosystems. Drawing on real experience with Prowler Open Source, Toni demonstrated the integration of threat detection, compliance automation, and contextual decision-making in AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.

The presentation was absolutely incredible, showing the full potential of Prowler and, even better, being completely open source. The community is especially excited to try its upcoming MCP (Model Context Protocol), which promises to revolutionize how we interact with cloud security tools.

A Community United by Innovation

The event saw the participation of multiple local tech communities: Malaga TechPark, Malaga-AI, MLG Hub, and the special participation of Demófilo Peláez Agudo, who conducted memorable interviews during the event. The presence of a delegation of VIPs from Granada also stood out: R. Javier Sacristán Fresneda, Alberto Donaire Ávila, and José Carlos Gómez Alarcón.

The Power of Informal Networking

Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of the event was the networking session following the presentations. With a beer in hand, attendees were able to delve deeper into technical conversations, explore potential collaborations, and share experiences in a relaxed environment. This format demonstrates that some of the most valuable connections in the professional sphere arise precisely in these more relaxed contexts.

Special Recognition

From montevive.ai/, we want to recognize the extraordinary work of the Oracle Málaga team, led by Dana Daboosh, along with Patrick Agreiter, Guido Boulogne, Sofia Schneider, and all those who made this event possible. Their commitment to the Málaga tech community and their ability to create spaces for knowledge exchange are an example to follow.

The Future of AiBirras

As recurring sponsors of AiBirras, at montevive.ai/ we remain committed to initiatives that foster knowledge exchange and professional networking in the field of AI. The AiBirras format has proven to be a successful formula for combining high-level technical knowledge with a relaxed atmosphere that favors professional connections.

We are convinced that this type of event contributes significantly to strengthening the artificial intelligence ecosystem in our region and we eagerly await the next edition.

See you at the next AiBirras!
