🎉 **Celebrating 10 Years of IAF Belgium (April 2016-2026)** What began with a single conversation has grown into a vibrant and welcoming facilitation community.

To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us for a **special anniversary dinner** and an evening of shared memories, conversations, and connection. ✨ **What to expect** The evening will unfold in *two phases*: **1️⃣ Interactive reflection & celebration** We will begin with a short interactive facilitation moment led by *Ralph and Marie,* inviting participants to reflect on and share memories from our journey together. Through a few reflective questions, we’ll revisit experiences from the past 10 years: • What was your **first IAF Belgium experience**? • Which **IAF Belgium event** has stayed with you the most? • Why is **IAF Belgium meaningful for you today**? **2️⃣ Anniversary dinner** After the facilitation, we will continue the celebration with a **shared dinner** and informal conversations. 🍽️ **Please note:** This is a **dinner gathering**, and participants will **order and pay for their own meal**. 🥂 **IAF Belgium will offer the first drink** to celebrate the occasion. 🎶 There may also be **music during the evening** to accompany the celebration & goodies *(to be confirmed)*. Whether you have been part of the journey from the beginning or recently discovered the community, you are warmly invited to join us in celebrating this milestone. 🙏 **With deep gratitude, we recognize the people whose dedication, energy, and generosity helped shape and grow this community over the past 10 years:** * **Identified speakers non-exhaustive list at our meetups until April 2026**: Nathaniel Cadwell, Tanya Van Rompuy, Christopher Malapitan, David Villalobos, Pieter Daelman, Sandrine Grenier, Simon Koolwijk, Jeffer London, Dirk Wouters, Johan Debeer, Ralf Otto, Ana Adzersen, Anita Sheehan, Ana Escarpenter, Bruno Selun, Meghan Kelly, Monica Dimitriu, Marie Dubost, Marc Sonnaert, Hilde Nicassi, Kasia Skuratowicz, April Bilbrey, Lara Donners, Andrew Spireti, Claudia Arena, Andy Whittle, Klaus Niederlander, Anuschka Ruge, Sue Bird, Graziana Lonero, Agnes Gorgemans, Luc de Schrijver, Joost Visser, Jord Rolland de Rengervé, Richard G.

**Sommes-nous devenus les simples managers de notre existence ?** Courir après le temps, cocher des listes de tâches, jongler entre les responsabilités professionnelles et les impératifs familiaux... Notre quotidien ressemble souvent à une course de fond où chaque minute est rentabilisée. Mais au milieu de ce tourbillon, une question finit par surgir : **où est passé notre esprit ?** À force de répondre aux besoins des autres et aux urgences du calendrier, nous risquons de devenir étrangers à nous-mêmes. Est-il encore possible de cultiver une vie intérieure quand l'agenda est complet ? La philosophie est-elle un luxe réservé à ceux qui ont du temps, ou une nécessité vitale pour ne pas s'oublier ? **Lors de ce dialogue philosophique, nous ferons une pause pour explorer ensemble :** * **La dictature de l’utile :** Pourquoi nous sentons-nous coupables dès que nous ne "produisons" rien ? * **Retrouver son centre :** Comment l'esprit peut-il rester libre au milieu des contraintes ? * **La quête de sens :** Comment transformer nos obligations quotidiennes en une vie qui nous ressemble vraiment ? Nul besoin d’avoir lu tous les classiques. Venez simplement avec votre fatigue, vos interrogations et votre envie de redonner une place à la réflexion au milieu du chaos. ✨ **Offrez-vous une parenthèse pour respirer et remettre l'esprit au cœur de votre vie.** *** **Infos pratiques :** * **Tarif :** 5€ (boisson comprise) * **Esprit :** Un moment d'échange pour déconnecter du "faire" et se reconnecter au "penser".

🌙 Evening Hike – Hallerbos (Start: Parking at ’t Kriekske, 18:45) This evening hike begins at 18:45 from the parking area right next to restaurant ’t Kriekske, perfectly timed to enjoy the soft light as the forest transitions into dusk. The route covers a maximum of 8–10 km, making it an accessible and relaxed walk suitable for all levels. From the parking, wide forest paths lead you straight into the heart of the Hallerbos. As the sun lowers, the beech trees filter the last warm light, creating long shadows and a calm, almost cinematic atmosphere. In spring, the fading daylight highlights the purple-blue carpet of bluebells, giving the forest a magical glow. The trail is mostly flat and easy to follow, ideal for unwinding after a busy day. You’ll hear the forest slowly quiet down while birds settle for the night and the evening breeze moves through the tall trees. After completing the loop, we return directly to ’t Kriekske, where we end the evening together with a drink or meal — the perfect way to wrap up a peaceful walk in one of Belgium’s most enchanting forests. What to bring Hiking shoes 👞 for the muddy paths 😅 Some cash and cards for drink at the restaurant

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
