**Context is becoming the missing link that transforms powerful AI models into truly intelligent systems.** In 2026, the next leap in AI comes from understanding *context* \- user intent\, environment\, history\, and goals\. This shift separates generic outputs from meaningful\, real\-world outcomes\. Join this Meetup to explore why context is the foundation of more reliable, human-centered, and transformative AI. We’ll dive into the role of **knowledge graphs** and how they help AI systems make sense of complex information and connect insights the way humans do. **16:30 - Welcome snacks and drinks** #### **17:00 - Talk 1** #### **Why Context Matters in AI – Grounding LLMs** Aniket Mitra will explore how enterprise data captures the *DNA of an organisation*—the what, where, when, who, how, and ultimately the why behind decisions. He will explain why siloed data limits AI-driven decision-making, and how knowledge graphs provide a unified semantic layer that enables trustworthy, AI-powered control towers across the value chain. **Aniket Mitra** – Aniket Mitra is the founder of Computationele Wetenschapsgroep (CW) which is a technology development SME that specialises in designing, building & scaling Knowledge Graphs for enterprise customers across industry verticals like retail, manufacturing & logistics. **17:30 - Talk 2** **Building Trustworthy AI in Regulated Sectors – Moonjelly, Knowledge Graphs, and the Context Layer** Surajeet Bhuinya will share how a dedicated context layer helps AI systems understand how organisations actually work. Using Moonjelly as a practical example, he will show how connecting people, documents, and processes into a living enterprise graph creates context unique to each industry and use case—leading to better decisions, clearer accountability, and real business impact. **Surajeet Bhuinya** – Surajeet Bhuinya is the founder of DataPebbles, a leading Data & AI company in the Netherlands. With 25+ years of IT experience, he operates at the intersection of data, AI, and innovation, building scalable, practical AI systems that deliver measurable business impact. He is also the founder of Moonjelly, a platform that connects people, documents, and processes into a living enterprise graph, enabling teams to understand context, see impact, and act with confidence. **18:00 - Talk 3** **ReviewGraph – Using Knowledge Graphs to Predict Customer Satisfaction and Extract Hidden Insights** Lifeng Han will present ReviewGraph, a graph-based framework that transforms customer reviews into knowledge graphs to predict ratings and uncover hidden insights. He will compare this approach with traditional NLP methods and LLMs, highlighting how knowledge graphs offer strong performance with lower computational cost, greater interpretability, and promising integration with RAG systems. **Lifeng Han** – Researcher, **[4D Picture](https://www.linkedin.com/company/4dpicture/)** Project. Dr. Han has authored 50+ peer-reviewed publications and previously worked at the University of Manchester on Healthcare NLP. His PhD focused on machine translation (ADAPT Centre, DCU, Ireland). **18:30 - 19:30 - Networking, drinks and snack**

Donderdag **29 januari 2026** is het weer tijd voor onze **Techday**: hét vaste moment waarop we kennis delen, elkaar inspireren en nieuwe ideeën direct in de praktijk brengen. Deze Techday is niet alleen voor developers, maar juist ook voor collega’s uit HR, Sales, Marketing, Operations en andere disciplines. Deze editie pakken we het aan als een **conferentie in het klein**. Drie sprekers, drie verhalen, één middag – *drie verhalen voor de prijs van één*. **Wat kun je verwachten?** • **Idzard** neemt je mee in **Product Goals** Waarom zijn ze zo belangrijk? En waarom zou elke product professional ze moeten kennen (en gebruiken)? • **Dave** laat je ervaren wat **Storytelling** doet Waarom onthouden we verhalen beter dan feiten? En hoe kun je storytelling inzetten in je dagelijkse werk? • **Jeroen** duikt in **Prototyping met AI** Hoe gebruik je AI om sneller ideeën te verkennen, testen en aanscherpen?Alle talks zijn **interactief**: geen achteroverleunen, maar meedoen. Je wordt uitgedaagd om de ideeën **direct toe te passen**, zodat je na afloop niet alleen geïnspireerd bent, maar ook echt iets nieuws kunt.Neem mee: goede zin en je laptop voor het maken van een prototype. **Wanneer:** Donderdag 29 januari 2026 **Wat:** Techday RE – conferentie-editie “Verhalen en beelden” **Voor wie:** Iedereen (!) die nieuwsgierig is en wil leren **Agenda** 14:45 - 15:00 - Inloop 15:00 - 15:45 - Product Goals 15:55 - 16:30 - Storytelling 16:35 - 18:00 - Prototyping met AI 18:00 - 19:00 - Eten We zien je graag op de Techday!

**ArnhemJUG** We are excited to announce the first meetup of 2026. We are welcomed by OpenValue Arnhem for the January meetup! **Agenda** * 17:00 CET walk-in * 17:30 – 18:30 Food and drinks * 18:30 – 19:30 talk: **Bigger Unit Tests are Better - why small unit test classes will slow you down** by **Peter Schuler** * 19:30 – 19:45 break * 19:45 – 20:45 talk: **Creating effective and objective architectural decision records** by **Piet van Dongen** * 20:45 – 21:30 drinks **Bigger Unit Tests are Better - why small unit test classes will slow you down** Do you take care that every class in your system has a separate unit test class? Are you a proud Test-First advocate? A code coverage evangelist? Are you the Sonar police in your team? Do you take pride in knowing all the quirks of your mocking framework? Then this session might be a cold shower for you. You will see how the general approach to unit testing might harm your flexibility. But a few simple changes in your approach will make your life better, your coding faster, your refactoring easier and your understanding of the business requirements stronger. In this presentation, you will learn new strategies that will help you make your unit tests bigger. First, guided by clear code examples, we will look at why having many small test classes may harm you. Secondly, you will understand why making the tests bigger is such an important improvement. And lastly, you will learn techniques and tricks that will help make your unit tests bigger. **About Peter Schuler** Peter is a lifelong Java developer with a passion for TDD and code quality. Lately he has become a Java community lead for the Rabobank as a side hustle. In his off time, he likes to work in the garden or goes for a short run. **Creating effective and objective architectural decision records** Documenting decisions is like eating your veggies as a kid: they keep telling you it’s good for you, but you just hate doing it. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to the rescue! ADRs are perfect for just-in-time, just-enough documentation for engineering teams and organizations. During this session, you will learn how to make architectural decisions effectively and objectively by: * Learning the structure of a good ADR (no more walls of text that nobody reads anyway!) * Practicing how to turn subjective choices into objective ones (no more pros and cons lists and tribal conflicts!) * Creating editable diagrams, fast (no more spending hours wrestling tools that your collaborators don’t know how to use!) * Collaborating quickly with technical and non-technical stakeholders (no more hours of Tower of Babel meetings!) * Reporting the decision using effective language and fit-for-audience diagrams (no more writing reports that end up unread in drawers!) Do you want to learn how to facilitate good decision making without spending weeks looking for consent? Then join this session and you will walk away a better software architecture decision facilitator. **About Piet van Dongen** Piet van Dongen is a senior software architect and engineering consultant at OpenValue, helping organizations solve complex technology challenges through effective software practices.

We’re heading into the south eastern Veluwe for a stunning scenic route that stays wonderfully quiet and almost deserted for a big part of the way, before building up to a truly spectacular grand finale! After around 6 km we reach the mysterious “Altar of the Loenermark” (Altaar van de Loenermark). I have no idea what it is, so we’ll discover it together. From there we continue through the beautiful heather and forest landscapes of Loenermark, one of those places where the Veluwe feels wide, wild, and open. Next we pass one of the quirkiest monuments in the Netherlands: the Ijkbasis Loenermark 1957–2007, a tribute to the calibration of measurement instruments from the past. The calibration itself might not sound exciting, but the location absolutely is, right in the middle of wide open heather, with big skies and that endless Veluwe feeling. It also marks about 11 km into the hike, a perfect spot to take our lunch break. After lunch we walk straight through the iconic National Park Veluwezoom, famous for its rolling grasslands and its fluffy semi wild cows. To finish in style, we end at Paviljoen De Posbank for a well earned snack or drink with a view over what many call the most spectacular heather of the Netherlands, complete with rolling hills. From there we head down towards Rheden, where you can easily catch the train or bus home. This is not a loop hike! **📍When and where to meet?** We’ll meet at 10h at busstop Loenen, Leeuwenbergweg. https://maps.app.goo.gl/LC3nNJQo57B5NnSy8 We are leaving a bit earlier otherwise we will find Paviljoen Posbank closed, which would be very sad. ⏰ 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?** This is not a loop hike. If you park in Loenen, you’ll need to make your own way back from Rheden afterwards. **⏸️ Planned Breaks** After **11 km**: Lunch break at **Ijkbasis Loenermark** (bring your packed lunch, this spot is truly in the middle of nowhere) **20 min** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/S5vAEpadAJs93ZrC7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/S5vAEpadAJs93ZrC7) After **19 km**: Snack or drink at **Paviljoen De Posbank** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wowuqj3sRY5hcid37](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wowuqj3sRY5hcid37) **💸 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. If there’s a waiting list, this will happen sooner (in less than 48 hours). If that happens, no worries — you’re always welcome to sign up again if there’s space. 🌟 Early Bird Deal! Join now for just €4 — available for 3 days (72h).

English - see at the end. Geachte **mede-organisator van de toekomst**, Verplaatst van 9 januari In onze voortdurend streven om faciliteren te ondersteunen, nodigen IAF-Netherlands en LEF Future Center je uit om de toekomst te faciliteren - in het LEF Future Center Nieuwe technologieën, veranderende sociale dynamiek en wereldwijde uitdagingen transformeren de manier waarop mensen samenwerken, leren en samen beslissen. "Meestribbelen", las ik laatst. Hebben jullie dat ook, dat een opdrachtgever eigenlijk niet wil innoveren; of dat de deelnemers doen alsof ze meedoen? Wanneer we besluiten op basis van het verleden, komen we nooit aan in een toekomst die anders is dan het verleden Faciliteren van innovaties houdt in de moed hebben, om iets anders te doen. Eigenlijk tegen beter weten in. In deze bijeenkomst, kan jij je daarop voorbereiden. Ons doel in deze bijeenkomst is om te onderzoeken wat facilitering zou kunnen worden in dit evoluerende landschap: het ontwerpen van sessies, onze competenties, leren van de toekomst zoals die zich voordoet. Samen zullen we experimenteren, reflecteren en mogelijkheden cocreëren voor de volgende generatie van facilitatoren, katalysatoren en procesbegeleiders. AGENDA 13.00 Ontvangst 13.30 Opening Check-in - door een deelnemer Waar staan we nu? De Toekomst Achteraf - daar komen we waar? Naar de he(me)l? 15.00 Pauze De Toekomst Achteraf (vervolg) - drie paden en hun keuze momenten Wat ga je de volgende keer (anders) doen? 16.30 Check-out en afsluiting Een vrijwillige bijdrage aan de IAF-Netherlands wordt op prijs gesteld. LET OP: registreer je rechtsstreeks bij mij, door me te mailen via janlelie@wxs.nl of via [iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl](mailto:iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl) Om deel te nemen hebben we tijdig - voor 23 januari- je naam en e-mail adres nodig. MeetUp geeft die ook niet meer door :-(. Stuur je e-mail adres naar iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl . Wanneer je geen Rijksmedewerker bent, dien je je bij aankomst te identificeren. We kijken uit naar jullie deelname, Jan Lelie CPF\|M \(2020\) interim voorzitter IAF-Netherlands Dear co-organiser of the future, In our continuing effort to support facilitation IAF-Netherlands and LEF Future Center invites you to *facilitate the future* — at the LEF Future Center New technologies, shifting social dynamics, and global challenges are transforming how people work, learn, and decide together. "Prostructing" (obstructing through co-operating) I read the other day. Do you also have that, that a client does not really want to innovate; or that the participants pretend to participate? When we decide based on the past, we never arrive in a future that is different from the past Facilitating innovations in the courage to do something else. Actually against better knowing in. In this meeting, you can prepare for it. Our purpose in this meeting is to explore what facilitation might become in this evolving landscape: designing sessions, our competencies, learning from the future as it emerges. Together, we will experiment, reflect, and co-create possibilities for the next generation of facilitation. AGENDA 13.00 Reception 13.30 Opening Check-in - by a participant The Future Afterwards - where do we get there; "This could be heaven or this could be hell?" 15.00 Pause The Future Afterwards (continued) - three paths and their choices What will you do next time (differently)? 16.30 Check-out and closure A voluntary contribution to the IAF-Netherlands is appreciated. Note: register directly with me, by emailing me via janlelie@wxs.nl or via iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl To participate we need your name and e-mail address in good time - before 23 th of January. MeetUp doesn't pass it on anymore :-(. Send your e-mail address to iaf-netherlands@kpnmail.nl . If you are not a Government employee, you must identify yourself on arrival. We look forward to your participation, Jan Lelie CPF\|M \(2020\) Interim Chair IAF-Netherlands

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
