\#\#\# UX TALKS
**Talk 1: Research Reinvented**
[Michiel Willekens](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michiel-willekens/), Productmanager @ BUFFL and [Seppe Stroo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/seppe-stroo-843b82128/), Founding partner @ BUFFL
In this presentation, BUFFL will demonstrate how rethinking research can drive real business results through a pragmatic case study.
You’ll discover how to translate business objectives into the right customer questions and how to act on those insights immediately to accelerate growth and sales.
By bringing the live voice of thousands of (potential) customers into the decision-making process, organizations can ask the right questions at the right time and turn insights into measurable business impact: from increased sales and customer
loyalty/experience to stronger brand awareness and more effective activation strategies.
**Talk 2: Synthetic Personas – real insights or digital illusions?**
[Kate Foszcz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-foszcz/?locale=en), AI Product designer @ Ebay
Can synthetic personas help us make better business decisions, or are we just interviewing very convincing imaginary friends?
In this talk, Kate will explore where synthetic personas can actually bring value, from testing assumptions to speeding up research, and where they can quietly mislead us with biased, overconfident, or poorly grounded answers. Expect a practical look at how to design these systems responsibly, when to trust them, and when to go back to real humans.

Generative AI - New Way Of Working
Hey Everyone! 👋
**Location:**
\- On\-site: INDUSTRIEMUSEUM Minnemeers 10 9000 Gent
\- Online: TBA
**Practicalities for the evening on Tuesday, May 26th:**
\- 18:00: Doors Open\, snacks & drinks
\- 19:00: Speaker Talks
\- 20:30: Networking & Drinks
**Transport:**
* **Parking:** Paid parking at Dok Noord
* **Arriving by Train:** Minnemeers 10 in Gent is an easy **10 minute walk** from Dampoort Gent Station.
**Note:** As this is an invite‑only event, you may be asked to show your calendar invite upon arrival.
**Welcome to edition 15 of the Generative AI Belgium Meetup! 🚀**
This time, we look at how AI is changing the Way We Work.
For a long time, work was built around a simple exchange: time for money. You showed up, spent hours on tasks, and value was measured by effort, output, and expertise.
Generative AI is starting to question that model.
AI agents are no longer just tools for writing better emails. They are entering workflows, taking over tasks, writing code, coordinating information, and becoming part of how teams operate.
Tools like Claude Cowork & Microsoft Copilot are already omnipresent in our daily work and expectations to use them are rising quickly.
At the same time, robotics is making the story physical again. Machines are not only thinking with us behind a screen. They are starting to move through factories, labs, hospitals, warehouses, and most importantly homes.
This raises a new question: what happens when AI becomes both a colleague in your browser and a body in the room?
In this edition, we are inviting:
* Startups building the tools, agents, and workflows that make this future happen
* Researchers exploring human-machine interfaces and robotics
* A broader discussion on what a “union of the future” could look like when work is shared between people, software agents, and machines
Let's see what meaningful work, when intelligence becomes abundant.
Join us on May 26th!
**Line-up:**
🤙 Tom Pluym (Wonderful) — on why cracking enterprise AI demands a new type of engineer
🤖 Ruben Janssens (Ghent University) — on socially interactive robots as the next frontier of human-machine collaboration
🛡️Jarno Goossens (Aikido Security) - on what happens when security becomes the default and software starts securing itself
Big thanks to Stad Gent for hosting us and to our sponsors: In The Pocket, BruCON, Red Hat, Collibra, Plainsight & Volta Ventures for supporting the community.

**Programma**
* 17:30 - 18:00 Inloop + food/drinks
* 18:00 - 18:45 **Agentic Coding bij Rakoo: wat werkt, wat niet, en wat nu? - Matthijs Hendriks & Koen Poelhekke**

**Agentic Coding bij Rakoo: wat werkt, wat niet, en wat nu? - Matthijs Hendriks & Koen Poelhekke**
AI is alive and AI is here to stay. Ook binnen Rakoo speelt AI een steeds grotere rol. Waar het begon met tekstgeneratie en analyses, gebruiken we AI in steeds meer systemen, en worden LLMs nu ook steeds meer ingezet voor code-generatie. De yolo yolo vibe coding heeft nog een negatieve bijsmaak, maar dit is grotendeels opgelost met het professioneel inzetbare Agentic Coding. Hiermee kunnen agents zelfstandig taken uitvoeren: analyses, planning, én implementatie. Developers hoeven dan alleen nog de hoofdlijnen te bedenken en het resultaat te reviewen.
Maar hoe past agentic coding in je proces? De eerder overzichtelijke situatie van issue -> code -> review -> mergen kan nogal op de schop gegooid te worden. Daarnaast zijn er de bekende security- en privacy risico's, en wil je ook rekening houden met zaken als code quality, code style, en maintainability, en is het veel lastiger om het overzicht te behouden. Hier zijn natuurlijk tools voor, maar welke van de 10001 kies je - en hoe kies je de juiste? En hoe meet je eigenlijk de waarde?
Rakoo zit middenin dit proces en we vertellen je graag wat we hebben gebouwd, ingericht, teruggedraaid, en waar we uiteindelijk (lees: voorlopig) op uit zijn gekomen. We staan ook stil bij hoe je dit secure (sandboxed) houdt, en hoe we dit in het team en in onze sprints hebben geïntegreerd. Als laatste: waar gaan we naar toe? Wat zien wij als verdere mogelijkheden en hoe denken we daar te kunnen komen - of besluiten we dat we een bepaalde richting niet in slaan?
**Vector search is niet genoeg: waarom je RAG een graph nodig heeft - Ian FitzPatrick**
De belangrijkste uitdaging voor Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI systemen is om de LLM van de juiste context te voorzien om vragen te beantwoorden. Vector databases zijn een veel gebruikt middel om kennis (documenten) op te slaan en te doorzoeken op 'betekenis' en niet alleen letterlijke keyword match. Een groot nadeel hiervan is dat document structuur bij deze opslagmethode vaak verloren gaat. In deze talk laat ik zien dat cl-rdf, een open-core (IAM en HA zijn Enterprise features) database dat vectoropslag kombineert met een triple graph (RDF) een groter palet aan mogelijkheden biedt om kennis op te slaan en te doorzoeken. Trigger warning: in deze presentatie gaan veel haakjes voorkomen...

Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #8
**From DLP Best Practices to Government Cloud Security with Microsoft Purview**
**Datum, tijd, locatie**
📅 Datum: Vrijdag 29 Mei 2026
🕐 Tijd: 12:30 - 17:00
📍 Locatie: RawWorks, De Vork 2, 3984 PA Odijk
**Introductie**
Tijdens deze editie van de Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #8 staat de realiteit van data security in zowel commerciële als publieke omgevingen centraal.
We combineren twee krachtige praktijkperspectieven: de implementatie van Data Loss Prevention (DLP) binnen organisaties en een grootschalige cloudmigratie binnen de publieke sector met Microsoft Purview.
Deze middag draait om concrete ervaringen, technische en organisatorische uitdagingen en lessons learned uit de praktijk. Verwacht inzichten die direct toepasbaar zijn om jouw data security en compliance aanpak te versterken.
**Wat kan je verwachten?**
**Sessie 1 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field**
Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft)
DLP binnen Microsoft Purview wordt steeds complexer door de opkomst van AI en het gebruik van meerdere enforcement engines. Traditionele aanpakken schieten tekort wanneer data via AI-tools wordt gedeeld, gekopieerd of geüpload.
In deze sessie deelt Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft) praktijkervaringen met DLP-implementaties, met speciale aandacht voor DLP for AI. We bespreken hoe verschillende enforcement engines (Endpoint, Edge, Network, Cloud Apps) zich gedragen bij AI-scenario’s zoals copy/paste en file uploads — en waarom dit vaak leidt tot onverwachte pop-ups en policy-interacties.
Daarnaast gaan we in op het verbeteren van de gebruikerservaring (policy tips, Outlook customizations, oversharing notificaties) en het reduceren van false positives.
Je krijgt concrete best practices voor het ontwerpen van effectieve policies, het kiezen van de juiste engine voor AI-use cases en het beheersbaar maken van DLP in een moderne Microsoft 365-omgeving.
**Customer case – Data Security x Heerenveen**
Femke Helgering (RawWorks)
Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen)
Hoe beveilig je gemeentelijke data tijdens een cloudmigratie naar Microsoft 365? In deze customer case staat het data security traject van Gemeente Heerenveen centraal.
Na de migratie is gestart met de implementatie van Microsoft Purview-functionaliteiten zoals Sensitivity Labels, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) en Data Lifecycle Management. Dit bracht zowel technische als organisatorische uitdagingen met zich mee op het gebied van governance, adoptie en bestaande werkwijzen.
Femke Helgering (RawWorks) en Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen) delen de praktijkervaringen, keuzes en lessons learned uit dit traject. Je krijgt inzicht in hoe security en gebruiksvriendelijkheid in balans kunnen worden gebracht binnen een overheidscontext.
**Agenda**
* 12:30 – Inloop met koffie en lunch
* 13:30 – Opening door DDSCC
* 13:45 – Introductie door RawWorks
* 14:00 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field, Martijn van Geffen, Microsoft
* 14:45 – Pauze
* 15:15 – Customer case - Data Security x Heerenveen, Femke Helgering & Ronald Hofstra, RawWorks & Gemeente Heerenveen
* 16:00 – Ronde tafel gesprekken
* 16:30 – Borrel & netwerken (tot 17:00 uur)
**Additionele informatie**
**Parkeren**
Bezoekers kunnen parkeren bij de parkeerplaats van de Sint Nicolaas Kerk:
Sint Nicolaaslaan 1, 3984 JA Odijk
Vanaf daar is het enkele minuten lopen naar de locatie van RawWorks.
Scalable Data Harvesting for AI
Every AI pipeline starts with one question: where does the data come from?
In this hands-on workshop, we'll answer that question using Scrapy, one of Python's most powerful web scraping frameworks. You'll go from a blank project to a working spider that harvests structured data from the web, ready to feed into your next AI or data science project.
We'll cover:
• Scrapy vs. lighter tools (Requests & Beautiful Soup), and when each makes sense
• Extracting data from HTML using CSS selectors
• Following links and handling pagination at scale
• Writing clean, structured output to a file
• The ethical and legal side of web scraping
Bonus (Gold Star): a chapter on scraping JavaScript-rendered pages for those who want to go further.
🐍 Python basics assumed — no prior scraping experience needed

Data Thursday
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 🌱
On **Thursday, May 28**, we are proud to host a special **Data Thursday** edition at **B. Amsterdam**:
**Cloud & Climate Pub Quiz** ☁️🌍
This will not be a classic sit-back-and-listen meetup.
This is a **taste-of-tech game night** where #climate, #cloud, #AI, #CO₂, #costoptimisation and a bit of controlled chaos come together in one big interactive quiz.
At **Data Tribes & EcoVerum,** we believe that climate impact, sustainability reporting and regenerative transformation all start with better data. This evening brings that belief to life in the most Data Thursday way possible: with sharp questions, practical insights, team play, pizza and drinks.
Your personal quiz masters for the evening:
👷♂️ **Henk van der Valk**
Platform & Intelligence Architect
👷♂️ **Marcel van der Kuil**
Data & AI Impact Engineer
Together, Henk and Marcel will join forces as **Buurman & Buurman for Cloud & Climate**, fixing things one quiz round at a time.
Think climate science, cloud optimisation, AI-assisted answers, sharp questions, practical insights and probably a few moments of **“A je to!”** along the way.
The evening includes three rounds:
🌍 **National Climate Quiz**
🌡️ **Climate Interactive EN-ROADS simulator**
☁️ **Cloud optimisation: cost, CO₂ and Scope 3**
Bring your laptop. Teams will compete for points, prizes and eternal Data Thursday glory.
AI is allowed, but beware: some answers need to be explained in your own words.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺
**// 18:00** — Doors open + pizza
**// 18:30 – 19:15** — First round
**// 19:15 – 20:00** — Second round
**// 20:00 – 20:45** — Third round
**// 20:45 – 21:00** — Wrap-up / evaluation
**// 21:00 – 21:30** — Drinks & networking
**// 21:30** — End
📍 **The Henry, B. Amsterdam — B.1**
Johan Huizingalaan 763a, Amsterdam
A big thank you to **B. Amsterdam** for once again supporting the Data Thursday community.
Because without reliable data, there is no reliable climate action.
And this time, we are testing what grows when cloud, climate, AI and community come together.
Greetings,
Data Tribes Inc & EcoVerum
