**DDSCC Meetup 7** 📅 **Datum:** Vrijdag 27 Maart 2026 🕐 **Tijd:** 12:30 – 17:00 📍 **Locatie:** Rubicon Cloud Advisor, Leusderend 36, 3832 RC, Leusden **Wat kun je verwachten?** **Agenda** * 12:30 – Inloop met koffie en lunch * 13:30 – Opening door DDSCC * 13:45 – Introductie door Rubicon Cloud Advisor * 14:00 – Jasper Oosterveld: With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk * 14:45 – Pauze * 15:15 – *Jeroen Bijdevier:* Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik * 16:00 – Ronde tafel gesprekken * 16:30 – Borrel & netwerken (tot 17:00 uur) **Session description:** **Jasper Oosterveld - With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk** Veel organisaties hebben inmiddels sensitivity labels geïmplementeerd als basis voor data security in Microsoft 365. Maar zodra je voorbij de basis komt, ontstaan er nieuwe vragen. Hoe ontwerp je een werkbaar labelmodel? Hoe voorkom je dat gebruikers verdwalen in te veel labels? Wat betekent labeling voor Teams, SharePoint, Data Lifecycle Management en Microsoft 365 Copilot? En waarom gedraagt het platform zich soms nét anders dan je verwacht? Tijdens deze interactieve sessie deel ik mijn praktijkervaringen met sensitivity labels: keuzes die goed uitpakten, dingen die ik achteraf anders zou doen en de frustraties die je alleen tegenkomt wanneer je labels écht gaat gebruiken in productie. Dit is nadrukkelijk geen theoretische sessie. Neem je eigen ervaringen, uitdagingen en meningen mee, zodat we samen praktijklessen kunnen uitwisselen en ontdekken hoe we sensitivity labels effectiever kunnen inzetten. **Jeroen Bijdevier - Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik** Copilot ziet het verschil tussen achterhaalde en recente informatie niet. Die zal je dus een beetje moeten helpen. Rechten zijn vaak niet (in detail) op orde. Manueel deze zaken vinden is lastig en tijdrovend. Natuurlijk wil je rapportages hebben van het gebruik. Ergo dataveiligheid op orde en inzicht in het gebruik met Purview.

Tickets: https://vorstin.stager.co/shop/default/events/111575211 Met de hoge opkomst én de ongekende energie in de zaal en op het podium bewijst dit concept keer op keer dat er in Hilversum behoefte is aan metal! Daarom is het tijd voor een nieuwe editie van METALCAFE Live in De Vorstin! Op 27 maart staat er metalcore en melodic hardcore op het programma, met optredens van Previse + Reality Spill + Sugar Spine Previse Wat ooit begon als een kleine coverband, die nummers speelde van hun favoriete artiesten (Polaris, Parkway Drive, Enter Shikari, Beartooth en vele anderen), groeide uit tot een band met een krachtig eigen repertoire. Ongeacht waar ze spelen, Previse zit vol energie en de bandleden geven alles wat ze hebben op het podium. Reality Spill Reality Spill is een vierkoppige metalcore band uit Overijssel. Sinds 2021 timmert de band hard aan de weg en hebben ze al meerdere releases en talloze liveshows op hun naam staan in binnen en buitenland. Eind 2024 verscheen hun tweede EP ‘The End of the World’; een nieuwe sound die naast de vertrouwde metalcore sound, uitstapjes maakt naar hardcore, electronica en pop-punk. Verwacht een gezonde dosis energie en chaos op het podium bij een show van Reality Spill! Sugar Spine Sugar Spine is een opkomende metallic hardcore band uit Nederland, die een meedogenloze mix brengt van hardcore, metalcore en deathcore. Hun sound schakelt moeiteloos tussen verschillende stijlen en laat duidelijke invloeden horen van bands als Stick To Your Guns, (early) Slipknot, END en Boundaries. Wat begon als een soloproject van vocalist Josh Muncke in 2021, groeide in 2023 uit tot een volwaardige liveband die in korte tijd het podium deelde met internationale acts zoals Jesus Piece, Breakdown of Sanity, Half Me en Misery Signals. Daarnaast werkte Sugar Spine samen met artiesten als Bleed From Within, Cabal, To The Grave, Distant en Born Of Osiris. Gedreven door pure wilskracht, authenticiteit en compromisloze energie laat Sugar Spine zien klaar te zijn om een blijvende indruk achter te laten in de metalwereld. Let’s raise some hell, metalheads!

This session focuses on **Reasoning for Search Systems**, featuring two speakers: **Alex Egg** from **Adyen** and **Mohanna Hoveyda** from **Radboud University**. **Location:** Science Park 904, Room C3.161 **Date**: Friday, March 27 **Time**: 16:00-17:00 **Zoom** **link**: [https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507](https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/65011610507) Details below: **Speaker #1**: **Alex Egg** from **Adyen** **Title**: Dense Retrieval for Identity: Real-Time Entity Linking in Payments **Abstract**: Modern payment platforms must link billions of transactions to the correct shopper identity in real time. Traditional solutions rely on rule-based logic over identifiers such as card hashes, emails, or device fingerprints, but these approaches struggle when identifiers are incomplete, inconsistent, or shared across multiple individuals. In this talk, we describe how we reformulate customer event linking as a dense retrieval problem, where transactions act as queries and shopper identities act as documents in a vector search system. Transactions are encoded using a pretrained neural embedding model fine-tuned with contrastive learning, and incoming transactions are matched to shopper identities via approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search over billions of shopper embeddings. We will discuss the representation learning challenges that arise in this setting, including learning identity signals from partially observed identifiers and aggregating transaction histories into shopper representations, as well as the system architecture required to support real-time retrieval at scale using hierarchical routing, vector compression, and distributed ANN search. **Bio**: Alex Egg is a Research Scientist at Adyen with a background in reinforcement learning. He previously worked on RL and LLM research at Meta, eBay, and UCSD. **Speaker #2: Mohanna Hoveyda** from **Radboud University** **Title**: The Reasoning Gap in Search: Overview of Current Paradigms and a Neurosymbolic Solution **Abstract**: Information retrieval has long focused on ranking documents by semantic relatedness. Yet many real-world information needs demand more: enforcement of logical constraints, multi-step inference, and synthesis of multiple pieces of evidence. Meeting these needs turns retrieval into a reasoning problem. In this talk, we first overview the current landscape of reasoning approaches applied or adaptable to IR from the broader AI research, along with a framework to help compare and relate these approaches for future research. We then present OrLog, our neuro-symbolic retrieval solution that addresses the reasoning gap for logically constrained queries. OrLog decouples predicate plausibility estimation from logical reasoning: an LLM provides plausibility scores for atomic predicates in a single generation-free forward pass, from which a probabilistic reasoning engine derives the posterior probability of query satisfaction. Evaluated across multiple backbone LLMs and logical constraint types, OrLog significantly improves top-rank precision while reducing token usage by approximately 90% per query-entity pair compared to LLM-as-reasoner baselines. **Bio**: I am Mohanna, a PhD student at Radboud University. My research focuses on adaptive orchestration in multi-agent search systems using reinforcement learning, and on developing reasoning methods that require less compute. **Counter:** SEA Talks #301 and #302.

🏔️ Everest Update for the Veluwe Power Hikers We were preparing for a classic VPH high altitude expedition on top of the world. Unfortunately there is some disappointing news. Starting in 2026, Nepal is introducing strict new regulations for climbing Mount Everest. Climbers will now need to have previously summited a 7,000 meter peak in Nepal and must also submit mandatory health certificates. Because we cannot realistically summit a 7,000 meter peak and then climb Everest on the same day during our hike, I am unfortunately obliged to change the program. There is also another small complication. 1 April falls on a Wednesday, which makes organizing the expedition a bit difficult. After a poll in the WhatsApp group, we decided to move the date to **28 March** and climb the highest point of the Veluwe, **Signaal Imbosch (110 m)**. Even if it’s not Everest, don’t underestimate this hike: we will cover **22 km with about 350 metres of elevation gain** at a brisk pace. At this altitude, however, oxygen bottles are no longer recommended. Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend due to the change. ⛰️🥾 **When and Where to Meet?** 10:10 sharp at Rheden Trainstation. ⏰ Please arrive on time, as we won’t be able to wait for latecomers. 🥾✨ https://maps.app.goo.gl/VaEtswyBps5awMoL7 **Where and When Shall We Rest?** We’ll take 2 breaks: * Lunch break in nature at Signaal Imbosch (110 m) with group photo on summit; 20 min * Snack and drink at Basecamp (80 m) where you can buy drinks and snacks; 30 min **Notifications:** * Technical equipment: avalanche transceiver (beacon), avalanche probe, and avalanche shovel (if you have them) * A compact lunch and water to share at the summit * The hike will only be canceled in case of severe avalanche risk (code 5). * If you plan to bring a companion, please ensure that they are also registered for the hike. * To be the first to get updates on new hikes, join our WhatsApp group! Feel free to ask for the QR code during the hike to easily join. * T-shirts are now available for €25, made from Fairwear-certified organic cotton with eco-friendly inks—sustainable, odor-resistant, and perfect for your hiking adventures (limited stock, available during the hike)!

Een wandeling voor vaders die het zichzelf gunnen om even te willen uitwaaien én de diepte in willen. We lopen samen door de natuur, ontmoeten elkaar en delen wat er echt speelt — als vader, als man, in je werk of gewoon in je hoofd. Niets moet. Er is geen afleiding, alles draait om verbinden en inspireren. Onderweg doen we een aantal oefeningen, luisteren we naar elkaar en stellen we de vragen die er toe doen. Een ideaal moment om even tot jezelf te komen — die ontspanning neem je sowieso mee naar huis. **Past dit bij jou?** Je hoeft geen antwoorden te hebben. Alleen de bereidheid om eerlijk te zijn — naar jezelf en naar de andere vaders om je heen. **Wat kun je verwachten?** * Een kleine groep van max. 8 vaders * Een mooie route op de Veluwe * Goede gesprekken en oefeningen onderweg * Ruimte voor jouw verhaal * Koffie/thee en een snack na afloop Kortom: een wandeling waarmee je investeert in jezelf en je vaderschap. duur: 10:00-12:00 uur / investering is wat jij het waard vindt locatie: rondom Arnhem op de Veluwe

📍 Meeting point: **Nijmegen Lent Station** (⚠️ not Nijmegen Centraal!) 🗓 **Saturday, March 28th, 2026** 🕑 **14:00** After starting our journey through Dutch history with **Prehistory**, it’s time to move forward to the **Roman era**. And when we talk about Romans in the Netherlands, there is one unavoidable place to go: **Nijmegen**, the oldest city in the country, founded by the Romans as **Noviomagus**. We’ll start from the other side of the river Waal and walk towards the historic city centre, combining **river landscapes, green parks and urban history**. Along the way we’ll explore how the Romans conquered large parts of what is now the Netherlands, built forts and military camps along the Rhine (the *limes*), and established their first real city here. This walk is about **stories, traces and layers of history**—and about seeing Nijmegen through Roman eyes. 🥾 **The walk is about 5 km** and will take us through nature, parks and the city while discovering the Roman past of Nijmegen and the Netherlands. *** 🍺 **Post-walk drinks at Cafe De Zon** After the walk we’ll stop at **Cafe De Zon** to relax and have a drink together. It’s a perfect moment to chat, share impressions from the walk and wind down. If you like beer, you’ll also have the chance to try **Oersoep**, a local craft brewery from Nijmegen known for its creative and experimental beers. Of course, other drinks are available as well. *** A walk through **Roman history**, beautiful riverside views, and a relaxed drink afterwards — a perfect **Pastime afternoon**.

Join in for a morning of crafting & chatting over a drink. Just bring your own project and payment for drinks. Meet fellow crafting enthusiasts, whether it's knitting, crocheting, stitching, origami, or something more unique! We talk about our projects, exchange tipps, but also just get to know each other and enjoy a relaxed Sunday morning in good company. All ages, levels and crafts welcome! And don't be shy, we have newcomers most weeks! **We have limited space at the café, so if you've RSVPd and can't make it, please cancel as early as possible so another person can join!** We now also have a WhatsApp group, where we want to organise get-togethers and other events. Ask one of the organisers at the next Meetup you join for more information and access.

Give your still good laptop a second life instead of ditching it because Windows 11 says it is no good... Or you heard Linux is cool. If you have a backup of your data, that is great, else indicate that you do not, so we can help you. Do so in an extra message or to m10@m10tech.nl, else I don't receive your information. Geef je laptop die het nog prima doet een tweede kans in plaats van hem af te schrijven omdat Window 11 dat zegt... Of omdat je hoorde dat Linux gaaf is. Als je al een backup van je data hebt gemaakt is dat perfect. Of verwacht je dat wij dat doen? In dat geval graag aangeven hoe vol je harde schijf nu is... Doe dat in een extra bericht of aan m10@m10tech.nl, want de info komt anders niet door.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy.
