**Now that Claude Code is writing our software, what are you doing with all that free time?** Here's an idea: come spend it with us at the next Belgium NLP Meetup! Our next event will take us back to **BeCentral**, Brussels' prime digital campus, where we're hosted by our friends at Campfire AI. Go ahead and schedule that long Claude job for the evening of **May 5th**. Doors open at 7pm for pizza, talks are planned between 7.30pm and 9pm, and after that there's more time for networking and drinks. The first two talks of the evening are already confirmed. The final presentation will be added in the coming weeks. **Small, specialized, agentic – One Year of Fine-tuning Local Vision LLMs.** *Adriaan Lemmens & Ilia Breitburg (Klassif.AI)* Local LLMs are getting better each year. The smaller the model, the more impressive. While the big labs' closed models still win as generalists, we've been working on fine-tuning our own specialist for enterprise document processing on top of an open-weights base, adapted for use in our custom agent harness and for visual layout reasoning. Recent iterations come within spitting distance of much larger models at a fraction of the size and token usage. In this talk, we share why and how we did it, as well as what it means for how we build efficient agentic systems at Klassif.ai even with hosted models. **Why NLP is More Alive Than Ever in the Age of LLMs.** *Tomas Staelens & Jean-Charles Nadé (Campfire AI)* The hype surrounding Generative AI has led many to believe that traditional NLP is a thing of the past, but the reality on the ground is different. In this talk, Tomas and Charly dive into why "just prompting it" often fails in enterprise environments where cost and ROI are non-negotiable. They will showcase the synergy between NLP and LLMs and argue that the future belongs to a hybrid architecture. Finally, they will share practical patterns for using NLP as a guardrail and optimizer for AI workflows. **Building AI‑native agentic extraction for commercial leases: the grown‑up path** *Frederik Durant (Reavant)* The art of agentic engineering is transforming the software development life cycle at an unprecedented pace. In this new arms race, AI engineers, software architects, and DevOps practitioners are expected to deliver 10x the impact without compromising quality or accountability. In this talk, Frederik will candidly describe his human experience so far navigating this professional identity shift. Additionally, he will show how his company Reavant built an agentic extraction system for complex tenancy documents, and what this taught him about going truly AI‑native.

📢 PGConf Belgium 2026 is back! We’re happy to announce that PGConf Belgium will take place again this year on **Tuesday, May 5th**, at its usual venue: the **UCLL campus in Haasrode**. 🗓️ The preliminary schedule is already available: [http://pgconf.be/#schedule](http://pgconf.be/#schedule) 🎟️ Registration is **free of charge**, but seats are limited to **120 attendees**, so make sure to secure your spot early! ➡️ Register here (mandatory): [http://pgconf.be/#registration](http://pgconf.be/#registration) ⏳ Deadline: **April 28th** ⚠️ Please note: RSVPing on Meetup is appreciated to let others know you're attending, but it **does not count as registration** — you must register via the official link above. 🙏 A big thank you to **Wim Bertels** for organizing the event, and to **UCLL** for hosting! Looking forward to seeing you there!

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle. Session: * 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills) * Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery) * Cool down We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested. Notes: It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims. As the participation is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.

Come and join **your fellow peers** to have a good time **practicing** **writing code** to get better at writing code in your real jobs. We’ll start off with **koffiekoeken** and form pairs to do the Game of Life Code Kata. After 45 minutes we’ll delete all our code and talk about new insights you’ve gained. Then we’ll pair up with new people and do it all over again but with new constraints applied, like not using conditional expressions, or committing code on green within 2 minutes. At some point we’ll break for lunch and we’ll figure something out for dinner too. ## **What to bring?** This event is very hands-on and it’s always better to come prepared. Bring your laptop (and peripherals if this helps you code better). Make sure you’ve installed GIT, and some programming languages you like. Here are some kickstarting code repositories you can already clone to see if they are usable for you on your machine: [https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-kotlin](https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-kotlin) [https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-java17](https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-java17) [https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-elm](https://github.com/SoftwareSandbox/coderetreat-elm) [https://github.com/TimmyGilissen/coderetreat-dotnetcore](https://github.com/TimmyGilissen/coderetreat-dotnetcore) ## **Schedule** 08:30 Welcome with koffiekoeken 09:00 Kick-off, facilitated by Vincent Verhoeven and Tim Schraepen 09:30 First kata 12:30 Lunch break 13:30 More kata’s 17:30 Closing ## **Is this event for me?** If one or more of these apply to you, I’d say you’ll have a good time and learn something new: * You’re a student and want to learn from people that code for a living * You want to improve your coding skills * You want to learn how to improve your AI context/harness engineering via software crafting skills * You’ve never done Test Driven Development before * You’re experienced and want to pair with somebody outside of your team * You’re very experienced and want to help your peers grow their coding skills ## **Practical Info** Our host of the day is Unlockd and along with sponsoring the food and drinks, they’ve lent their office space (desks, monitors, meeting rooms, …) to help you become a better software developer. Unlockd is an agency specialised in building (mobile) apps for any screen. They focus on collaboration with clients who appreciate creating value through small iterations. They do this for mobile, web, desktop and embedded devices. In small teams they focus on app development but include all involved 'edges' like back-end/middle layers, embedded/BLE interfaces, design, dev ops, app store publishing and optimisation, production monitoring, etc. They've build apps for Hubo, Standaard Uitgeverij (Strips), Lava (fruite & vegetable auctions), Classified Cycling and many more.

Has it been just you and your phone lately? It’s easy to feel connected yet still feel alone. Digital interactions can’t replace the warmth of eye contact, real laughter, and meaningful conversations. True connection happens when we step away from our screens and show up as ourselves — present, open, and engaged. At Fast Friending, we create spaces where real relationships begin. - just genuine conversations and shared moments. Because nothing compares to meeting face-to-face, discovering common ground, and walking away with a connection that truly feels real. **You will need to buy a ticket for attending -** [https://brussels9thmay.eventbrite.co.uk](https://brussels9thmay.eventbrite.co.uk) \*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**TBA**
