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.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
