***Let op: inschrijvingen verlopen via:*** [Home | IMPACT Modernization](https://impactmodernization.conclusionevents.nl/) **IMPACT is terug! 🚀** Op **21 april 2026** staat de derde editie op het programma: **IMPACT Modernization**. Een vernieuwde editie, een groter programma én twee splinternieuwe break‑out tracks – alles om jou meer verdieping, inspiratie en praktische handvatten te bieden. We verwelkomen je opnieuw in **Stadion Galgenwaard**, de thuisbasis van FC Utrecht, waar onze experts van Conclusion Xforce samen met partners zoals Dynatrace, Copaco, HashiCorp, Red Hat en Tessell hun visie, strategie en technologie delen. En zoals altijd is IMPACT meer dan een event: het is dé plek om kennis te halen én te brengen in een community vol IT‑professionals. **Waarom Modernization?** Organisaties staan op een kantelpunt. Technical debt groeit, legacy remt innovatie en keuzes stapelen zich op. Modernisering is noodzakelijk, maar wél een die vraagt om strategisch denken én technische scherpte. Daarom introduceren we dit jaar naast de inspirerende sessies ook **twee nieuwe break‑out tracks**, zodat jij precies de verdieping kiest die aansluit bij jouw rol én uitdaging. **Twee inhoudelijke tracks:** **🔷 Business Track — De business case voor modernisering** Hoe onderbouw je investeringen? Hoe bepaal je prioriteiten? En hoe maak je van modernisering een strategisch voordeel? **🔷 Technology Track — Modernisatie in de praktijk** Concrete migraties, platformkeuzes en real‑life situaties: van virtualisatie naar containers, van monoliet naar cloud‑native. Daarnaast delen organisaties vanuit ons Conclusion‑ecosysteem eerlijke klantcases over hun moderniseringsreis: wat werkte, wat niet en welke keuzes echt impact maken. **Voor wie?** Voor CTO’s, architecten, platform engineers, besluitvormers en IT‑professionals die impact willen maken in hun organisatie. Of je nu net begint met modernisering of al midden in de transitie zit je gaat gegarandeerd naar huis met nieuwe inzichten, energie en praktische ideeën. **📍 Praktische informatie** * **Datum:** 21 april 2026 * **Locatie:** Stadion Galgenwaard, Utrecht * **Tijd:** 12:00 – 18:00 (inclusief lunch) * **Parkeren:** [Q‑park Galgenwaard](https://www.q-park.nl/nl-nl/parkeren/utrecht/goedkoop-parkeren-utrecht/galgenwaard/) **Registreren is verplicht en kan via de onderstaande link:** [Home | IMPACT Modernization](https://impactmodernization.conclusionevents.nl/) ⚠️ *Let op: De vorige edities zaten snel vol.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
