Nine years ago, I created this project with a simple idea in mind: bringing people together 🤝. What started as a small gathering slowly grew into something very special. Through this event, I’ve met extraordinary people, built beautiful connections, and shared unforgettable moments with thousands of participants from all around the world 🌍. This project has truly changed my life. Seeing strangers become friends, hearing different languages around the same table 🗣️, and witnessing genuine human connections has been one of the most rewarding experiences. After a two-year break, I’m very happy to say that we are back 🎉. And I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone again — old faces and new ones — and continuing this journey together. This meetup was created with the intention of connecting people, and it remains a safe and welcoming space where every opinion matters and inclusivity is the pillar of the event 🤗. Whatever your reason for coming — curiosity, practicing a language, meeting new people, hanging out, disconnecting from work, or simply nostalgia — you will be warmly welcomed in a respectful and open environment. ⭐ **Golden Rules** Respect everyone – Every opinion and culture matters 🌎 Be inclusive – Make space for everyone at the table 🤝 Listen as much as you speak – Real connections come from sharing 👂 No discrimination or harassment – This is a safe space 🛡️ Stay curious and open-minded – You never know who you’ll meet ✨ Entry: **No fee, just grab a drink 🍹** **“International accents, real connections” 🌍🗣️**

For those unfamiliar with LeanCoffee: it's a moderated discussion format where we talk about the topics that get voted on by the participants. This makes for varying topics. Overall, Lean Coffee provides a flexible and democratic way for groups to engage in meaningful conversation. We try to start at 19:30 with an intro round and start gathering topics you want to talk about straight after. Coming late is ok, but just know that you typically won't have a say in what gets talked about. When you come for the first time, you’ll usually find the host, Nicky, there early, with a Lean Coffee sign on the table — and often in the company of two dogs.

We're thrilled to announce our **March 2026 Meetup**, hosted in collaboration with **Axway**. This edition covers two hot topics: governing your APIs and AI assets in the enterprise, and getting started with the AI Act — no legal jargon included. 📅 **Date:** March 19, 2026 🕐 **Time:** 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Quatuor - Tour C, Boulevard Roi Albert II, 4, Brussels (4 min walk from Brussels North station) **Agenda:** * **17:00 - 18:00** — Welcome coffee * **18:00 - 19:00** — Presentations with Q&A * **19:00 - 21:00** — Networking with food & drinks *** 🎤 **Talk 1: The Next Challenge — How to Create API & AI Asset Governance** *Rogier van Boxtel & Jarno Verrijzer (Axway)* Large organizations have created significant amounts of APIs over the last years. With corporate AI initiatives as next kids on the block, MCP and AI Agents are being developed in fast growing numbers as well. End result: all kinds of "integration assets", no governance, no management — resulting in all kinds of (security) risks. The solution: a central governance layer built on a complete, all "integration assets" service registry to be able to create, monetize and show relevant services to internal developers, business partners and "the world". During this presentation Rogier & Jarno will explain today's reality and share the way Axway can help to solve the governance challenge. 🎤 **Talk 2: No Legal Jargon — How Do I Get Started with the AI Act?** *Enzo Marquet (CRANIUM)* In this session, Enzo Marquet will translate the AI Act into concrete implementation: what does the AI Act say, how do you get started with it as a company, what reflexes should you develop, and what should you definitely avoid doing. All of this peppered with best practices! *** **Speaker Bios:** **Rogier van Boxtel** is a highly experienced integration software expert. Over 20 years ago he started as a consultant at TIBCO focusing on Business Process Management & Application Integration. He moved to a Solution Architecture role at TIBCO and after 10 years joined Axway as a Solution Architect and manager covering the complete set of Managed File Transfer, B2B & full lifecycle API Management solutions Axway offers. Today Rogier runs two Solution Architect teams, one covering Benelux & Nordics and one DACH. **Jarno Verrijzer** is a Pre-Sales Architect at Axway, supporting the Benelux, Nordics, and DACH regions, with a focus on the Amplify Platform. With over 10 years of experience in frontend, backend, integration, and enterprise architectures, he helps companies with their API strategy — whether they're just starting out, tackling specific challenges, or scaling their API landscape. **Enzo Marquet** is a Data Protection & AI Consultant at CRANIUM. He works extensively on the overlap between data protection and AI regulation, looking for workable solutions in an ever more complex landscape. Alongside his consultancy work, Enzo provides trainings and lectures on data protection and AI for various training institutes.
