\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1: Align or Fail: When Brand Meets UX**
[Mario Restrepo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mario-restrepo/), Creative Director
Every interaction shape perception and tells a brand story, whether intended or not.
In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative.
Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an **AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow**, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed.
**Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems**
[David Grunewald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrunewald/), Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-Strategist
AI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them.
This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale.
We'll examine **four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work**. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world?
You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage.

Intercambio francés español en Bruselas
La idea es quedar y practicar francés y español en Bruselas. Apto para todos los niveles.
Groupe pour améliorer l'espagnol et français à Bruxelles. Pour tous les niveaux.
Nos juntaremos en el Centro Cultural Metaprosa (Chaussée de Saint Pierre 9, 1040 Etterbeek, Bruselas) para conversar con un café o una cerveza en la mano.
Todos los martes de 19.00- 21.30.
Workflow Automation with AI in the Construction Industry
**Workflow automation with AI in the construction industry**
***What if every incoming request in a construction company could automatically turn into the right work order... without emails, copy-paste or spreadsheets in between?***
During this **[Ixor](www.ixor.be)** TechTalk we’ll explore how AI and multi-agent systems can streamline day-to-day workflows in the construction industry.
We use a case study from **[Benogroup](https://www.benogroup.be/)** as the starting point and show how we moved from a manual flow to an AI-supported one, with support from Innoviris.
We’re combining a concrete business case with a look under the hood of the tech:
**Use case: workflow automation at Benogroup (with support from Innoviris)**
* **[Ivan De Broyer](https://be.linkedin.com/in/ivan-de-broyer/nl)** (CEO Benogroup) walks you through a very familiar scenario: an offer comes in, internal teams need a work order, and today much of that work still happens manually.
* He’ll share how they translated this pain point into an AI project, what the new AI-driven workflow looks like, and what changed for the teams in practice (increase speed, reduce errors, enable coordination and compliance).
**Architecture & learnings: multi-agent systems by Ixor**
Ixor's AI Engineer, **[Sien Nuyens](https://be.linkedin.com/in/sien-nuyens-6475b0232/en)**, explains how we built the solution using the LangGraph ecosystem.
* You’ll hear what we learned compared to earlier experiments, for example with LibreChat.
* How we decided what to automate versus what to redesign in the process itself, and why the human side (ownership, trust, handovers) is just as important as the technical one.
**This Tech Talk is ideal for:**
* Operations and project managers in construction companies who want to reduce manual follow-up
* Digital leads and innovation managers exploring where AI can safely support existing workflows
* Founders and managers of SMEs who want a concrete view on 'AI for my business'
* Anyone curious how agentic AI and multi-agent systems can be applied to real-life processes with clear before/after impact

Threats & Demos /Platform Engineering with Backstage
Welcome back to the Belgian Developer Experience Network!
We have 2 technical talks lined up for our fifth Belgian Developer Experience Network meetup! Mark your calendars for the **24th of February**, because it is going to be an evening packed with insights into using AI securely and effectively. Make sure to be there for the deep dives, stay for the discussion and networking.
**Schedule:**
\- 18:00 \- 18:20 \- Doors open
\- 18:20 \- 18:30 \- Intro
\- 18:30 \- 19:30 \- Session 1: MCP: Threats\, Tools\, and a Few \(Hacking\) Demos
* **Speaker:**
[Philippe Bogaerts](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippebogaerts/) (Public Cloud System Engineer and Co-Founder of BruCON)
* **Description:**
Philippe contributes mostly by writing blog posts [xxradar](https://xxradar.medium.com/), talking at meetups as well as co-organizing a renowned security conference [BruCON](https://brucon.org/). During daytime, Philippe is a solution architect at [Fortinet](https://www.fortinet.com/).
**Description:** Join us for a technical deep-dive meetup on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the emerging open standard that allows LLMs to securely interact with external tools, data, and services.
We’ll start by demystifying what MCP really is and how the client–server flow works, then dive straight into hands-on tooling and attack-surface experiments. You’ll leave you with both defensive and offensive insights into this rapidly evolving ecosystem.
What to expect:
* MCP Debunked: concise breakdown of the protocol, client ⇄ server lifecycle, transport modes and capability registration.
* Debugging with MCP Inspector: live exploration for testing, tracing and verifying MCP interactions.
* Intent Analysis: using AI to analyze tool descriptions and detect unsafe capabilities before agents can use them.
* The Capability-Delta Hack Explained: security-focused demo showing how a model can escalate or extend capabilities.
Format: 45–60 minutes of technical discussion and attack-surface experiments. All demos and experiments will be documented on GitHub.
\- 19:30 \- 19:45 \- Break
\- 19:45 \- 20:30 \- Session 2: The Golden Path: Where Governance Meets Software Craftsmanship
* **Speaker:**
[Jonathan Lamy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanlamy/) (Solution & Enterprise Architect at Devoteam)
* **Description:**
Jonathan is a Solution and Enterprise Architect \| Modernization Specialist who never forgot his roots in software craftsmanship\.
He now designs enterprise strategies that act as enablers, not roadblocks.
His mission is to replace chaos with confidence, allowing organizations and teams to move at true velocity.
**Description:**
In the rush to modernize, we often mistake Speed (shipping code fast) for Velocity (shipping value reliably).
We have mastered Agile and DevOps, yet many teams are still terrified to deploy on a Friday.
Jonathan argues that the solution lies not in more rules, but in engineering confidence.
In this session, we will explore The Golden Path—not as a rigid constraint, but as the blueprint for a frictionless route to production.
We will discuss how to treat the platform as a product, embedding Well-Crafted Software directly into the infrastructure.
By automating the heavy lifting of compliance and security, we stop drowning developers in configuration and empower them to steadily add value.
This isn't just about preventing chaos; it's about restoring the confidence to ship.
Format: \~40–50 minutes including demos and Q&A. Example code and links will be shared.
\- 20:30 \- 00:00 \- Network Event & Food
After (or during, we still have to decide) the talks you will be able to share your valuable insights and ideas with everyone, while sharing some food and drinks.
**Additional note: This meetup includes food. Please keep your RSVP status up to date so we do not waste any of our food. In case you're doubting the feasibility to join in person, please update your RSVP accordingly.**

Meet and make new friends in Brussels
Making new friends in a new city doesn’t need to be a struggle at all.
UNO #469
Let's continue the tradition and play UNO, everybody is welcome :)
If you're on the waitlist please check your messages, especially on Sunday. If people drop off last minute I tend to message people on the waitlist to see who can come.
We'll be playing at the lobby of Radisson RED, Brussels. The address of the hotel is:
Rue d'Idalie 35, 1050 Bruxelles
My number is 0471 45 55 02. Feel free to call if you cannot solve a physics question, cannot find the place or simply need a hug.
I have quickly written a set of rules on how we play. It is assumed that the reader has a basic concept of the game.
***
Setup:
* Each player starts with 6 or 7 cards each (depending on total number of players)
* A card is shown in play in the middle of everyone, this is known as the top card.
Goal:
* The goal of the game for each player is to get rid of all cards in your hand
Rules:
* Whenever you go from two cards to one card, you have to say "UNO".
* Each player takes his turn one by one, initially going in the clock-wise direction
* A card may be played if it matches the same colour or same number or same type as the top card in play
* The two black cards (Draw 4 and Wild) can be played regardless of the top card in play.
* Interruption rule: You may interrupt the general flow of the game (clockwise or counter-clockwise) if you have the EXACT same card as the top card in play. If you manage to play the card prior to the person whose turn it's supposed to be, then the game continues on from you in the same direction it was previously. (Unless the reverse card was interrupted, then the direction changes).
* Draw2 or Draw4 cards can be played in accordance to the interruption rule. The following person after the interrupt has to take the accumulated number of cards. If however, cards have already been drawn AND seen by the person who was supposed to take the cards, then only the remainder of cards has to be drawn.
* Once someone has no cards remaining in his hand, play stops and we start counting points.
Points:
* Number cards have the face value as the number of points. i.e. number 6 is worth 6 points, number 0 is worth 0 points, number 4 is worth 4 points.
* Skip, reverse and Draw2 are worth 20 points each
* Wild and draw4 are worth 50 points each
Saturday Morning Coffee, 10:00 @Château Modern
Hi everyone,
This coffee morning event is @ **Château Moderne**, on Saturday, is 28 February 2025, from 10:00 - 13:00.
**Château Moderne will be changing its name to Radio Moderne!**
1. The **prime time** of the event is **10:30 - 12:30**. That's when most people will be there.
2. When you enter the place, you will see a long table that is set up for the event.
3. If you intend **to join past 12:00** (high noon), then there is no need to register. Just come and join!
4. **DON'T forget to cancel** if you can't join!
5. **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))**
**As always, feel free to follow us on INSTAGRAM!**
https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==
***
**THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:**
* I post the event on Saturday/Sunday for the following Saturday.
* I send out a reminder as an email or a comment on the event page on Thursday/Friday.
* There is sometimes a waiting list.
* **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest. I message everyone on the waiting list on Friday.
* **Please, move to "not going" AS SOON AS you know that you can't come anymore, that includes everyone who is on the waiting list.**
**IMPORTANT:**
* When you register yourself, be careful not to register accidentally a +1 guest (unless you bring a guest). It happens very often.
* If you have any questions then, message me.
***
**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY!**

Tennis doubles (NOT FOR BEGINNERS) - White Star Evere
Hello! This is a meet-up to play tennis from 2 pm to 4 pm on Sunday. Meeting is on the courts. The courts are booked under the name Jean-Marc. This event is for intermediate and advanced players and not organised for novice players or beginners.
Please make sure to bring the exact sum of 10 € in cash.
The event is non-commercial. This sum covers the cost of the courts reserved. The organizer is not there to make money out of you. Ladies are encouraged to join.
If anyone wants to drop out, they should do it on Saturday morning, not on Sunday the day of the meetup, another wise it would be too late to find a replacement in time or to cancel a court in time with reimbursement. If you don't do this, you will be asked by the organizer to reimburse your participation fee. If this happens too late then those who have cancelled after Saturday morning will have to cover the extra cost for reserving the courts. In the past meetups, it happened too many times that we were an oneven number and because of that all those present had less fun to play. If you don't show up without giving a written excuse in time, the first future participation will be cancelled and you will be asked to reimburse the participation fee. If it happens too many times you will not be able to participate anymore.
In case if we are an uneven number of players, then the last player (except the host of course who has to collect the money) can leave or persuade other players to play with him or her. Of course if the last player leaves, then he or she doesn't have to pay the participation fee. If this player leaves, he or she will be added on a future event by the host or organizer in the participation list if the player is far away in the waiting list. This is the advantage of leaving on a voluntary basis;-).
We operate on the principle of Fair Play as we do not have umpires or referees. Any disputes or disagreements over line calls or scores should be resolved immediately on the court and, when agreement is not possible, the point or game should be replayed. To be able to replay the game, 3 players need to agree on that without manipulation of the one who disputes an entire game, anotherwise injustice could occur where in the end possibly the biggest cheater could win... This situation applies also, if the host or the organizer is involved.
When one of the players still doesn't accept this compromise, then it should be reported (meetup message by preference) to the organizer or host of the meetup event.
One of the consequences could be that the first upcoming event could be cancelled by the organizer for the player who doesn't comply with the compromise to play the point or the game again. If the same player does that again for a second time, then the person will see 4 of his next tennis meetups cancelled. If this happens a third time with the same player, then the player in question will be banned from all future tennis meetups with an exclusion as a final result.
Whenever there is a big problem, it should be reported as well to the organizer of the group so he can, if necessary, take actions to improve the situation for all the players.
Please also note that if you are the first on the waiting list, you will automatically be moved up to the attendance list if someone pulls out. So if you are on the waiting list and see that you cannot attend, please also change your status to not going.
If you would like to organize a meet up either this week or next week please get in touch with me, my name is Jean-Marc. It will depend on your initiatives to create more tennis meetups per week.

**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

Columbus PHP: Monthly Meetup
Our monthly PHP meetup.

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
