Immersive Tech

Meld je aan voor onze volgende WordPress Meetup in Utrecht op **dinsdag 3 maart 2026**. Zoals gebruikelijk zijn we weer welkom bij [Wonders of Work](https://wondersofwork.nl/), onze locatiesponsor. We beginnen om 19:30 uur (zaal open vanaf 19:00). **Programma** We hebben weer twee inspirende sprekers Je hebt vast wel eens meegemaakt dat je hostingserver trager en trager werd. **Arjan Olsder** gaat ons daarom de ins en outs van hosting uitleggen. En **Samir Rafiq**, onze builder expert, werkt inmiddels ook met Etch. Etch belooft de wereld van builders op zijn kop te gaan zetten! Je hoort wat hij ervan vindt. Om 21:30 eindigen we met een borrel die gesponsord wordt door [Klarned](https://www.klarned.is/nl/), [Webscout](https://webscout.be/) en [Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/nl/). **Hosting \| Arjan Olser** Is jouw webhosting een goed onderbouwde keuze of gewoon onderbuikgevoel? En kun je die keuze wel goed onderbouwen? Arjan Olsder bouwde 25 jaar geleden het bedrijf Digishock op. En 16 jaar geleden kwam daar WebsiteNazorg.nl bij. Binnen beide bedrijven was het een komen en gaan van webhostingbedrijven en werden keuzes door klanten vooral op emotie en ‘van horen zeggen’ genomen. Terwijl webhosting in de praktijk het meest vitale element is in de kwaliteitsbeleving van een website. En vaak ook het eerste waar iedereen op bezuinigt. Inmiddels is Arjan niet meer werkzaam in de industrie, dus tijd genoeg voor hem om een deepdive te doen en zijn kennis te delen. Hoe kies je de juiste webhost? Wat zoek je qua technologie, qua service en bereikbaarheid. En welke juridische angels kunnen op jouw pad komen. Of het pad van jouw klant. Want met de huidige geopolitieke spanningen is het belangrijk dat de Nederlandse WordPress sector weerbaar wordt en haar klanten goed kan beschermen. **Etch Builder \| Samir Rafiq** De markt zit vol met opties, elk met hun eigen aanpak. Van gebruiksvriendelijke drag-and-drop builders zoals Divi en Elementor, tot meer geavanceerde tools zoals Bricks en Oxygen voor developers. Of juist full site editing met WordPress blocks al dan niet ondersteund door een Greyd of Kadence. Samir Rafiq is ervaren low-code WordPress developer met meer dan 10 jaar ervaring als ontwikkelaar en trainer. In deze talk neemt Samir je mee in EtchWP, een opkomende builder die een frisse kijk biedt op hoe we websites bouwen. Wat maakt deze builder anders dan de rest? En is dit misschien wel de builder waar jij naar op zoek bent? **Zeepkist** Wil je een vraag stellen aan de aanwezigen op de avond? Of wil je een korte presentatie doen van het werk waar je mee bezig bent (max 10 minuten), dan willen we je ook ruimte geven om even op de zeepkist te klimmen. Meld je van tevoren aan via info@wpmeetuputrecht.nl. **Nieuwe onderwerpen voor talks** We zijn altijd op zoek naar leuke onderwerpen voor een talk. Is er een onderwerp waarover je meer informatie zou willen? Kun jijzelf misschien wat meer vertellen over WordPress, SEO, hosting, contentcreatie of iets dergelijks? Of wil je gewoon eens laten zien wat jij of jouw bedrijf maakt met WordPress? Vertel het ons via info@wpmeetuputrecht.nl. **Wonders of Work** We zijn weer welkom op de locatie van [Wonders of Work](https://wondersofwork.nl) (voormalig Seats2Meet Utrecht CS), onze locatiesponsor. WoW is gevestigd in Hoog Catharijne (Boven Vredenburgpassage, Kantoren Connect Offices R1, 6e etage). Je vindt WoW het makkelijkst als je Hoog Catharijne vanaf het Centraal Station inloopt, linksaf langs Ziggo/Vodafone, en dan net voorbij de Rituals. **WordPress Community** Wij zijn onderdeel van de wereldwijde WordPress Community.

*(🇬🇧 English below)* Voordat een bordspel of kaartspel kan worden uitgegeven, moet er veel aan het spel getest worden om zeker te zijn dat het leuk is, duidelijk is en altijd goed werkt. Daarom komen we **elke 2 weken** met spelauteurs uit de regio samen om prototypes van spellen te testen en ze zo beter te maken en misschien ooit wel gepubliceerd te krijgen. Om 8 uur verzamelen we bij [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) voor een speltestavond. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanwezigen en prototypes dat er wordt meegenomen (neem zelf ook iets mee als je wilt) vormen we een aantal groepen. Bij kleinere spellen kun je in de loop van de avond van groep wisselen, bij grotere spellen moet je dat even overleggen. **Ook als je zelf** **geen spellen maakt** of een spel hebt dat je wilt testen, ben je natuurlijk van harte welkom. Het is voor ontwerpers heel fijn om de mening van zo veel mogelijk andere mensen te krijgen. En heel eerlijk: het testen van nieuwe spellen is ook gewoon heel leuk! We gaan door tot een uur of 11, maar voel je vrij al eerder naar huis te gaan. Er is **gratis koffie** **en thee** bij StartUp Nijmegen. Voor fris, bier of wijn wordt een kleine bijdrage gevraagd. StartUp Nijmegen ligt tegenover het station. De auto kun je parkeren in de naastgelegen Keizer Karelparkeergarage (50 cent per uur). Er is hier ook een afgesloten fietsenstalling. De testavonden in Nijmegen zijn elke **2e dinsdag** en elke **4e woensdag** van de maand. Zet die dus vast in je agenda (tip: zet met [deze iCal link](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_d2267afce516f9296468270649b3f44da6c06cbc0bc3de05f049992373db5f4f%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) ze automatisch in je agenda)! Spellenmaakgilde Nijmegen maakt onderdeel van het [Nederlandse Spellenmaakgilde](https://spellenmaakgilde.nl/) en is onderdeel van het SAZ. Je vindt ons daarnaast ook in het #Nijmegen kanaal op de [Discord-server van het Spellenmaakgilde](https://discord.gg/6JzD6Sz2m5). 🇬🇧 **For English-speaking guests:** Before a board game or card game can be published, it must undergo extensive testing to ensure that it is enjoyable, clear, and always functions properly. Therefore, **every 2 weeks**, we gather with game authors from the region to test prototypes of games, thereby improving them and, perhaps, getting them published someday. At 8 PM, we gather at [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) for a game testing evening. Depending on the number of attendees and prototypes brought (feel free to bring something yourself), we form several groups. For smaller games, you can switch groups throughout the evening, but for larger games, you should discuss this. **Even if you** **do not design games** or have a game you want to test, you are, of course, very welcome. It is very beneficial for designers to receive feedback from as many people as possible. And to be honest: testing new games is just a lot of fun! We continue until about 11 PM, but feel free to go home earlier if you wish. There is **free coffee** **and tea** at StartUp Nijmegen. A small contribution is requested for soft drinks, beer, or wine. StartUp Nijmegen is located opposite the station. You can park your car in the adjacent Keizer Karel parking garage (50 cents per hour). There is also a secure bicycle parking facility here. The testing evenings in Nijmegen are every **2nd Tuesday** and **4th Wednesday** of the month. So be sure to mark those in your calendar (tip: automatically add them to your calendar with [this iCal link](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_d2267afce516f9296468270649b3f44da6c06cbc0bc3de05f049992373db5f4f@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics))! The Spellenmaakgilde Nijmegen is part of the [Dutch Game Designers Guild](https://spellenmaakgilde.nl/) and is also a part of SAZ. You can also find us in the #Nijmegen channel on the [Discord server of the Game Designers Guild](https://discord.gg/6JzD6Sz2m5). And don't worry if you don't speak Dutch! We regularly have non-Dutch speaking guests, and everyone is welcome to join and have fun with us.

**Design Reimagined Utrecht (DRU) - 05 March 2026** Hosted by University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (HU) Join us for an evening of professional insight and networking as we explore how to integrate service design into your everyday role and master the art of the persuasive pitch. 📅 **Date & Time** **Date:** Thursday, 5 March 2026 **Time:** 18:00 – 21:00 📍 **Location** **Venue:** Hogeschool Utrecht, Room 0.011 **Address:** Padualaan 99, 3584 CH Utrecht 🎙️ **Featured Speakers** **[Bindu Upadhyay](https://www.linkedin.com/in/upadhyaybindu/)** \| Senior Service Designer\, **GitLab** Topic: ***"Adopting a Service Design mindset for your role."*** **[Varsha Prasad N M](https://www.linkedin.com/in/varshnm/)** \| Founder\, **IdeaCompass** Topic: ***"Designing the Pitch: Crafting Stories That Win Support."*** 🌯 There will be snacks and drinks. 🔗 **Join the Community** Space is limited, so please ensure you register your attendance through our Meetup page.

***In this meetup, we explore why traditional feedback systems fail and what it really takes to build a culture of dialogue.*** ***\*\*\*Attention! This is an in-person event only. We need a minimum of 10 attendees for gaining the most value (besides the hosts). We will notice you in advance for a go/no go around February the 20th, 2026 \*\*\**** *Drawing from real consultancy experience and organizational case studies, we’ll unpack how feedback is shaped by deeply embedded systems of judgment, social conditioning, business culture, and biological responses to threat.* **Cool concrete case studies shared of different organizations with a diversity of challenges.** Let’s be honest: the word “feedback” can make your stomach clench. We brace for awkward conversations that end in painful silence, or we swallow our frustration to keep the peace. We worry about disrupting relationships or being misunderstood, so we often say nothing at all. But what is the true cost of this silence? Misunderstandings fester, trust erodes, and team morale quietly slips away. Ironically, by avoiding feedback to protect our relationships, we often end up creating the very disconnection we feared. As a result, we've developed a deeply unhelpful relationship with feedback treating it as a confrontation to be dreaded rather than a conversation for connection and growth. **Shift consciousness, habits, and leadership behavior at every level. Explore how to create cultures of dialogue instead of confrontation, where people feel seen, heard, and able to grow.** *** ### **Agenda** 17:30 - 18:00 Walk in 18:00 - 18:45 * Welcome & personal story * Current Systematics of Feedback 18:45 - 19:15 FOOOOD 19:15 - 20:30 * Clear Case Studies Example(s) of Feedback Systematics * Change the System of Feedback 20:30 Netwerk + Walk Out 21:00 Please go home you lovely people **Who Should Attend:** * Leaders * HR Professionals * Scrum Masters * Agile Coaches * Change Agents * Anyone who want to move beyond labels and is interested in creating a feedback culture.

We’re heading out onto a **brand new trail** on the Veluwe, one we’ve never walked before. That alone makes this hike extra exciting. New paths, new views, and that lovely feeling of discovery from start to finish. From the start we dive **straight into the forest**, following winding woodland paths that slowly pull us deeper into the heart of the Veluwe. The forest feels calm and spacious, and with spring just around the corner you’ll notice nature quietly waking up. Budding trees, fresh greens, birds getting busier. It’s that in between season where everything is preparing itself. After several kilometers of forest walking, the landscape opens up as we reach the **Hoog Soerensche Veld**. Wide open fields, big skies, and that classic Veluwe contrast between forest and heath. From here we continue towards the **Asselsche Heide**, one of the quieter and more scenic parts of the Veluwe. This section offers lovely viewpoints, open heathland, and long sightlines that really give you that spacious Veluwe feeling. We finish where we started, completing a **full loop hike** through forests, open fields, and heathland. **📍When and where to meet?** We’ll meet at 11h30 at busstop Hoog Buurloseweg https://maps.app.goo.gl/sCMJ8Kg7MTUcYu1j7 ⏰ **We start walking a few minutes after meeting up** — we don’t wait for latecomers, as the forest calls and daylight is short this time of year. **🚗 Coming by car?** You can park here but please also do your own research: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sCMJ8Kg7MTUcYu1j7 **⏸️ Planned Breaks** After 9 km: 30 min lunch break in nature After 15 km: 15 min break in nature **💸 Payment** Please pay as soon as you sign up: To keep things fair for everyone, if we don’t receive your payment within 48 hours, we will need to remove you from the participant list.
