Part 1: Bridging a gap at DISA
DISA was founded to bridge a gap. A gap in one of the most critical processes in the Netherlands: identifying and screening every asylum seeker entering the country. They started from zero, with nothing but paper forms and urgency. That paper process needed to become digital, fast. That's where Mendix came in. But how do you turn something so unpredictable into a reliable workflow application? Every asylum seeker brings a different story, different documents, and different needs. The workflow needed guardrails, but also freedom.
Add to that a UX challenge: newly hired staff, many with limited computer experience, had to use this every single day. And behind the scenes, integrating with the national immigration partner chain, each with their own systems, on-premise, across multiple servers, turned every connection into a technical puzzle.
Come hear how we built a Mendix application that is structured enough to be trusted, flexible enough to be useful, and simple enough for anyone to use.

Part 2: Mendix Mystery
You've been building in Mendix.... But have you ever stopped to wonder — are you really using it to its full potential? There's a concept most developers walk past every single day. Simple on the surface. Powerful underneath. Once it clicks, you'll never build the same way again

Dinner
Two diner options are being served from 17:45 - 18:45h. Both options are also available as vegetarian options.
