What You’ll Learn
Now you have finished the Mendix game, you played all the cards, harvested all the points and gathered all the badges... so what now?
As a seasoned experienced Mendix developer you probably have seen it all. You have build your fair share of microflows, pages, and integrations. You coached your team members and challenged team to be the best version of themselves while enlighten your client with innovative solutions and ideas.
What will be your next step or does it all end here or is it Groundhog day all-over?
Being a Mendix Developer puts you in a unique start position to explore new endeavours. In this we give an insight in one of plenty exploration opportunities: the life of an Architect. Find out what architecture is, what an architect does, together with some practical examples.
You’ll leave the meetup knowing there is an architect in you.

The second session explains how Mendix and AI can help companies build better digital solutions. You will hear when Mendix is the right tool, how AI is changing daily work and software development, and what architects should know to design larger systems using Mendix. The presentation also shows how AI agents can be added safely into business processes.
Participants will leave with practical guidance on using Mendix to build scalable applications, how to organize teams and roles, and how to support business goals with low‑code and AI. In short, you will learn how to move from small apps to a secure, efficient, AI‑ready Mendix landscape.
