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.

**Bitcoin Meetup met Crazy Pool!** Deze maand organiseren we iets leuks: voorafgaand aan de meetup (voor wie dat wil) spelen we Crazy Pool bij Timestamp op de Korenmarkt. Crazy Pool lijkt op minigolf, maar je speelt het met een keu en een bal die je door verschillende obstakels moet stoten. De speeltijd is ongeveer 45 minuten. Aansluitend eten we bij Flor Fina. Je kunt ook na het diner aansluiten als je alleen voor een drankje wilt komen. De Bitcoin Meetup is geschikt voor zowel beginners als ervaren bitcoiners. Stel je vragen en praat mee over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van bitcoin. Wil je meedoen met Crazy Pool of mee-eten? Laat het ons even weten, dan houden we daar rekening mee bij de reservering. * 16:30 — Crazy Pool @ Timestamp (Korenmarkt) * 17:30 — Diner @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) * 19:30 — Drinks @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) ## English Bitcoin Meetup with Crazy Pool!

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session. **Seats are numbered**# **Title**: L'engloutie **Language**: French **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 98 min **Director**: Louise Hémon **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/lengloutie-2/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/143042/ **Synopsis**: On a stormy night in 1899, Aimée, a young republican schoolteacher, arrives in a snowbound hamlet on the remote edges of the French Alps. Despite the villagers’ mistrust, she’s determined to shed light on what she sees as their dark beliefs. As she gradually becomes part of the community, a sensual vertigo begins to grow within her. Until the day an avalanche claims the life of a first mountain dweller. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
