Hi everyone!

It's been a while since our last in-person event and that is about to change! 🚀

After a bit of a break, we are planning the next event on November 27 at 5pm. Back at the offices of mogenius, where we had the first event two years ago.

So, this is a blocker for now and we are still putting together the agenda and speakers.

‼️If you have an exciting topic you want to talk about or know someone who could be interesting for this group - please let us know. ‼️

Topics will be about digital sovereignty, platform UX, AI in infrastructure and platform engineering.

We already have two speakers lined up and are looking for 1 or 2 more who would like to participate.

Thank you and see you in November!

Best
