M2M Machine-to-Machine

Architecture isn’t a job title—it’s a way of thinking and making decisions. 🧠 In this meetup, you’ll discover how you (from junior to senior) can grow architectural skills and create lasting impact. As Mendix developers, we’re trained to move fast and deliver value. 🚀 But Mendix has evolved into a mature enterprise platform, used for increasingly complex and business-critical solutions. As applications grow into landscapes—with more teams, integrations, security requirements, and quality expectations—delivery alone isn’t enough. That’s where architectural thinking comes in: • making trade-offs explicit • designing for change • creating guardrails that keep teams productive This meetup explores the path toward becoming a Mendix architect from two complementary perspectives. 🔹 **Zooming in:** What architecture really means in practice, how the architect role differs from senior development, and how you can start creating architectural impact—regardless of your current level. 🔹 **Zooming out:** How Mendix is positioned compared to buying off-the-shelf software, traditional development, and other low-code platforms like PowerApps. We’ll also look ahead at how Mendix fits into the future of software development, including its role in Agentic AI and how it compares to AI-generated code. You’ll leave with: • a clearer architectural mindset • a shared vocabulary • practical examples • strategic context you can immediately apply in refinements, design sessions, or technical reviews 🎯 *** **What you’ll learn** • What architecture is (and isn’t): mindset, responsibilities, and outcomes • The progression from junior → medior → senior → architect • Making better decisions in Mendix: modularization, integration strategy, security-by-design, performance • How architects enable teams through principles, guardrails, and governance—without slowing delivery • How Mendix is positioned as an enterprise platform versus traditional code, packaged software, and other low-code options • How Mendix fits into the future of AI-driven development, including Agentic AI and AI-generated code • Practical takeaways: review checklists and a next-steps roadmap you can start tomorrow 🛠️ *** **Audience** Anyone building Mendix solutions—from curious juniors to experienced seniors and tech leads. 👥 *** **Agenda** • 18:00 – 19:00 🍽️ Dinner (for in-person attendees only—don’t forget to RSVP with your dietary requirements!) • 19:00 – 20:00 🎙️ Presentations by the speakers, followed by Q&A • 20:00 – 21:00 🍻 Drinks & Networking *** **Speakers** 🎤 Zefanja Kleuters – Sopra Steria Mendix Expert with a broad range of experience in both development and architecture. 🎤 Andreas Lennevi – Mendix Mendix Lead Architect, sharing the broader enterprise positioning of Mendix and its role in the future of software development. *** **About this event** This is an in-person event hosted at the Sopra Steria office in Machelen. 🏢 A recording will be made available for those who can’t attend live. Mendix Meetups are all about community, learning, and real-world experience—no sales pitches, no recruiting, just valuable insights and knowledge sharing. 🤝 *** **Any questions about this meetup?** Contact community@mendix.com, matthias.strauven@soprasteria.com, or jeroen.desmedt@soprasteria.com for more details.

# Tired of Endless Swiping? You’re not the only one. Most people who join us say the same thing: **Dating started to feel rushed, performative, and oddly disconnected.** So we built something different. Conscious Connections Club hosts **Relational Labs** — guided social experiences designed to spark real conversation, emotional depth, and authentic connection. Events now run in **40+ cities across six continents**, bringing together singles who value curiosity, presence, and meaningful interaction. Before joining an event, everyone attends a short alignment call so you can understand the space and decide if it feels like your kind of people. ### Get the Zoom Link [\[Here\]](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join#_ps0z7hzgy) *** # What Happens On The Call This is a **30-minute alignment call with the founder**. On the call you’ll learn: • why this community was created • how Relational Labs are different from speed dating or typical singles events • how we curate intentional spaces across 40+ cities • what actually happens at the events • why many people return again and again Some calls have **a handful of people**, others twenty or more. You’re welcome to simply listen and get a feel for the space. Many people attend their first event **alone** — and most leave having met someone they genuinely want to see again. Sometimes it becomes friendship. Sometimes romance. Often it's simply the relief of realizing **you're not the only one craving deeper connection.** *** ### See If This Is Your Scene [\[Here\]](consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) *** # Why We Require This Call The alignment call helps us keep events **intentional, respectful, and aligned**. It also gives you a real chance to feel confident in the experience being right for you before joining a live event. No pressure. Just clarity. *** ### Get the Zoom Link [\[Here\]](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join#_ps0z7hzgy)
