New. Curated. Barcelona-only. The rest is noise.

"Barcelona´s HR events are full of people worth knowing. Most of them never meet."

About Us

Rewriting the standard operating procedure for HR, People & Talent networking.

Barcelona's HR ecosystem is rich. The events exist — conferences, meetups, roundtables, summits. The challenge is never the calendar.

It's knowing which ones are worth your evening. And once you're in the room — finding a real conversation, not just familiar faces talking to each other.

sops.people exists to solve both.

We curate everything happening in Barcelona's HR scene and surface only what actually matters — so your time is spent in the right rooms, not just any room.

And when the right format doesn't exist, we create it. Mindful Conversations for People Leaders is our own series: small groups, honest dialogue, no panels, no pitching. Just the people and the topic that matter.

Whether you've been leading People functions for 15 years or you're just building your first — this community is yours.

Curated Barcelona has more HR events than anyone can track. We go through all of them so you don't have to — and only surface what's actually worth your evening.

New faces welcome Most networking events are closed loops. We build the format so that whether you know everyone in the room or no one — you leave with a real conversation.

Small groups, real talk When the right event doesn't exist, we host it ourselves. No panels. No pitching. Just the people and the topic that matter.

People Professionals

Meet the Founders

"We built sops.people because the best opportunities in this city were hiding in rooms most people didn't know existed."

sops.people was born out of a simple frustration: networking in HR, People & Talent felt like a black box. The best events, the most valuable conversations, the connections that actually moved careers — they weren't visible to everyone.

As People Professionals embedded in Barcelona's HR, People & Talent ecosystem, the mission became clear: curate what matters, open the doors wider, and make sure that whether you're a seasoned VP or just starting out, you always know where the conversation is happening.

Beyond community building, we work directly with startups, scaleups, employees and professionals relocating to Spain — helping them build people functions and careers that are ready for what's next.
