To get to the workshop venue and accommodation nearby by public transport, take the metro red line to Glòries station, which is five minutes walk away.
Coming from the airport, the Aerobus takes you to the city centre (Plaça Catalunya) very frequently and rapidly.  From there you can take the metro red line to Glòries.  More information about the Aerobus is here:

The 22@ District of Barcelona (the “Manchester of Catalonia”), where we will be meeting, is a very interesting example of a former industrial area which is being redeveloped as an innovation district.  A taster is in this Wikipedia article:
