UX Beers Antwerp May @Buffl
**Welcome to our May UX Beers in Mechelen!**
This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 26th of May at [Buffl](https://buffl.be) in Mechelen.
[Ariad](https://www.ariadgroup.com/) and [Creative Skills](https://www.creativeskills.be/) sponsor our events.

\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1: Research Reinvented**
[Michiel Willekens](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michiel-willekens/), Productmanager @ BUFFL and [Seppe Stroo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/seppe-stroo-843b82128/), Founding partner @ BUFFL
In this presentation, BUFFL will demonstrate how rethinking research can drive real business results through a pragmatic case study.
You’ll discover how to translate business objectives into the right customer questions and how to act on those insights immediately to accelerate growth and sales.
By bringing the live voice of thousands of (potential) customers into the decision-making process, organizations can ask the right questions at the right time and turn insights into measurable business impact: from increased sales and customer
loyalty/experience to stronger brand awareness and more effective activation strategies.
**Talk 2: Synthetic Personas – real insights or digital illusions?**
[Kate Foszcz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-foszcz/?locale=en), AI Product designer @ Ebay
Can synthetic personas help us make better business decisions, or are we just interviewing very convincing imaginary friends?
In this talk, Kate will explore where synthetic personas can actually bring value, from testing assumptions to speeding up research, and where they can quietly mislead us with biased, overconfident, or poorly grounded answers. Expect a practical look at how to design these systems responsibly, when to trust them, and when to go back to real humans.

Generative AI - New Way Of Working
Hey Everyone! 👋
**Location:**
\- On\-site: INDUSTRIEMUSEUM Minnemeers 10 9000 Gent
\- Online: TBA
**Practicalities for the evening on Tuesday, May 26th:**
\- 18:00: Doors Open\, snacks & drinks
\- 19:00: Speaker Talks
\- 20:30: Networking & Drinks
**Transport:**
* **Parking:** Paid parking at Dok Noord
* **Arriving by Train:** Minnemeers 10 in Gent is an easy **10 minute walk** from Dampoort Gent Station.
**Note:** As this is an invite‑only event, you may be asked to show your calendar invite upon arrival.
**Welcome to edition 15 of the Generative AI Belgium Meetup! 🚀**
This time, we look at how AI is changing the Way We Work.
For a long time, work was built around a simple exchange: time for money. You showed up, spent hours on tasks, and value was measured by effort, output, and expertise.
Generative AI is starting to question that model.
AI agents are no longer just tools for writing better emails. They are entering workflows, taking over tasks, writing code, coordinating information, and becoming part of how teams operate.
Tools like Claude Cowork & Microsoft Copilot are already omnipresent in our daily work and expectations to use them are rising quickly.
At the same time, robotics is making the story physical again. Machines are not only thinking with us behind a screen. They are starting to move through factories, labs, hospitals, warehouses, and most importantly homes.
This raises a new question: what happens when AI becomes both a colleague in your browser and a body in the room?
In this edition, we are inviting:
* Startups building the tools, agents, and workflows that make this future happen
* Researchers exploring human-machine interfaces and robotics
* A broader discussion on what a “union of the future” could look like when work is shared between people, software agents, and machines
Let's see what meaningful work, when intelligence becomes abundant.
Join us on May 26th!
**Line-up:**
🤙 Tom Pluym (Wonderful) — on why cracking enterprise AI demands a new type of engineer
🤖 Ruben Janssens (Ghent University) — on socially interactive robots as the next frontier of human-machine collaboration
🛡️Jarno Goossens (Aikido Security) - on what happens when security becomes the default and software starts securing itself
Big thanks to Stad Gent for hosting us and to our sponsors: In The Pocket, BruCON, Red Hat, Collibra, Plainsight & Volta Ventures for supporting the community.

Data Thursday
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 🌱
On **Thursday, May 28**, we are proud to host a special **Data Thursday** edition at **B. Amsterdam**:
**Cloud & Climate Pub Quiz** ☁️🌍
This will not be a classic sit-back-and-listen meetup.
This is a **taste-of-tech game night** where #climate, #cloud, #AI, #CO₂, #costoptimisation and a bit of controlled chaos come together in one big interactive quiz.
At **Data Tribes & EcoVerum,** we believe that climate impact, sustainability reporting and regenerative transformation all start with better data. This evening brings that belief to life in the most Data Thursday way possible: with sharp questions, practical insights, team play, pizza and drinks.
Your personal quiz masters for the evening:
👷♂️ **Henk van der Valk**
Platform & Intelligence Architect
👷♂️ **Marcel van der Kuil**
Data & AI Impact Engineer
Together, Henk and Marcel will join forces as **Buurman & Buurman for Cloud & Climate**, fixing things one quiz round at a time.
Think climate science, cloud optimisation, AI-assisted answers, sharp questions, practical insights and probably a few moments of **“A je to!”** along the way.
The evening includes three rounds:
🌍 **National Climate Quiz**
🌡️ **Climate Interactive EN-ROADS simulator**
☁️ **Cloud optimisation: cost, CO₂ and Scope 3**
Bring your laptop. Teams will compete for points, prizes and eternal Data Thursday glory.
AI is allowed, but beware: some answers need to be explained in your own words.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺
**// 18:00** — Doors open + pizza
**// 18:30 – 19:15** — First round
**// 19:15 – 20:00** — Second round
**// 20:00 – 20:45** — Third round
**// 20:45 – 21:00** — Wrap-up / evaluation
**// 21:00 – 21:30** — Drinks & networking
**// 21:30** — End
📍 **The Henry, B. Amsterdam — B.1**
Johan Huizingalaan 763a, Amsterdam
A big thank you to **B. Amsterdam** for once again supporting the Data Thursday community.
Because without reliable data, there is no reliable climate action.
And this time, we are testing what grows when cloud, climate, AI and community come together.
Greetings,
Data Tribes Inc & EcoVerum
Scalable Data Harvesting for AI
Every AI pipeline starts with one question: where does the data come from?
In this hands-on workshop, we'll answer that question using Scrapy, one of Python's most powerful web scraping frameworks. You'll go from a blank project to a working spider that harvests structured data from the web, ready to feed into your next AI or data science project.
We'll cover:
• Scrapy vs. lighter tools (Requests & Beautiful Soup), and when each makes sense
• Extracting data from HTML using CSS selectors
• Following links and handling pagination at scale
• Writing clean, structured output to a file
• The ethical and legal side of web scraping
Bonus (Gold Star): a chapter on scraping JavaScript-rendered pages for those who want to go further.
🐍 Python basics assumed — no prior scraping experience needed
**Agenda**
\- 18:00 Doors Open
\- 18:30 Start of the Workshop
\- 20:15 Workshop Closing & Announcements
\- 20:30 Networking
\- 21:00 Event Closing

Short North Street Skate | Weekly Rollout
Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and we’re excited to get back rolling together.
These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus.
Details:
Meet: 1160 N High St
9:30 AM meet
10:00 AM rollout
All wheels welcome
We’ll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert.
If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start.
Come solo or bring a friend!
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
