IMPACT Modernization; Build for what comes next
***Let op: inschrijvingen verlopen via:*** [Home | IMPACT Modernization](https://impactmodernization.conclusionevents.nl/)
**IMPACT is terug! đ**
Op **21 april 2026** staat de derde editie op het programma: **IMPACT Modernization**.
Een vernieuwde editie, een groter programma Ă©n twee splinternieuwe breakâout tracks â 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 dĂ© plek om kennis te halen Ă©n te brengen in een community vol ITâprofessionals.
**Waarom Modernization?**
Organisaties staan op een kantelpunt. Technical debt groeit, legacy remt innovatie en keuzes stapelen zich op. Modernisering is noodzakelijk, maar wĂ©l een die vraagt om strategisch denken Ă©n technische scherpte. Daarom introduceren we dit jaar naast de inspirerende sessies ook **twee nieuwe breakâout tracks**, zodat jij precies de verdieping kiest die aansluit bij jouw rol Ă©n uitdaging.
**Twee inhoudelijke tracks:**
**đ· Business Track â De business case voor modernisering**
Hoe onderbouw je investeringen? Hoe bepaal je prioriteiten? En hoe maak je van modernisering een strategisch voordeel?
**đ· Technology Track â Modernisatie in de praktijk**
Concrete migraties, platformkeuzes en realâlife situaties: van virtualisatie naar containers, van monoliet naar cloudânative.
Daarnaast delen organisaties vanuit ons Conclusionâecosysteem eerlijke klantcases over hun moderniseringsreis: wat werkte, wat niet en welke keuzes echt impact maken.
**Voor wie?**
Voor CTOâs, architecten, platform engineers, besluitvormers en ITâprofessionals 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 ideeĂ«n.

The Bitcoin Meetup is suitable for both beginners and experienced bitcoiners. Ask your questions and join the conversation about the latest developments in the world of bitcoin.

Utrecht Serious Games design - Playtest (je eigen) serious games.
Stel je voor: een avond waar karton en ideeĂ«n vonken geven. Waar pionnen geen plastic zijn, maar gesprekstarters. Waar een prototype geen âbijna-afâ product is, maar een laboratorium op tafel.
Spellenmaakgilde en The Serious Gamers bundelen hun krachten en brengen het beste van twee werelden samen.
**Het Spellenmaakgilde** is een community voor makers van bord- en kaartspellen: testen, schaven, opnieuw proberen. Idee > prototype > feedback > beter spel.
**The Serious Gamers** richt zich op spellen die meer doen dan vermaken: ze zetten spel in als middel om te leren, gedrag te spiegelen en gesprekken op gang te brengen op de werkvloer.
Op **woensdagavond 22 april** draait alles om Serious Game Prototypes.
Heb jij een spel in ontwikkeling dat iets wil blootleggen, oefenen of veranderen?
* Een spel dat teams helpt elkaar écht te begrijpen?
* Een spel dat mensen kritisch laat kijken naar hun werk of naar de maatschappij?
Dan is dit jouw moment.
We bouwen samen aan spellen die niet alleen leuk zijn, maar iets in beweging zetten.
đ Locatie: **CafĂ© Oproer in Utrecht**
đ Tijd: **19.00 - 22.00\***
đ¶ Deelname: **gratis**
đČ Doel: **testen, leren, aanscherpen**
Neem je prototype mee. Of kom spelen en feedback geven.
Maar kom vooral!
Meld je aan en schuif aan tafel.
\*Aan tafel kan ook voor avondeten, de locatie is vanaf de middag geopend. Dus kom er gerust (op eigen kosten) wat eten vooraf.

[Arnhem] English subs: L'engloutie
#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/

**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 villagersâ mistrust, sheâs 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!

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
