**Workflow automation with AI in the construction industry** ***What if every incoming request in a construction company could automatically turn into the right work order... without emails, copy-paste or spreadsheets in between?*** During this **[Ixor](www.ixor.be)** TechTalk we’ll explore how AI and multi-agent systems can streamline day-to-day workflows in the construction industry. We use a case study from **[Benogroup](https://www.benogroup.be/)** as the starting point and show how we moved from a manual flow to an AI-supported one, with support from Innoviris. We’re combining a concrete business case with a look under the hood of the tech: **Use case: workflow automation at Benogroup (with support from Innoviris)** * **[Ivan De Broyer](https://be.linkedin.com/in/ivan-de-broyer/nl)** (CEO Benogroup) walks you through a very familiar scenario: an offer comes in, internal teams need a work order, and today much of that work still happens manually. * He’ll share how they translated this pain point into an AI project, what the new AI-driven workflow looks like, and what changed for the teams in practice (increase speed, reduce errors, enable coordination and compliance). **Architecture & learnings: multi-agent systems by Ixor** Ixor's AI Engineer, **[Sien Nuyens](https://be.linkedin.com/in/sien-nuyens-6475b0232/en)**, explains how we built the solution using the LangGraph ecosystem. * You’ll hear what we learned compared to earlier experiments, for example with LibreChat. * How we decided what to automate versus what to redesign in the process itself, and why the human side (ownership, trust, handovers) is just as important as the technical one. **This Tech Talk is ideal for:** * Operations and project managers in construction companies who want to reduce manual follow-up * Digital leads and innovation managers exploring where AI can safely support existing workflows * Founders and managers of SMEs who want a concrete view on 'AI for my business' * Anyone curious how agentic AI and multi-agent systems can be applied to real-life processes with clear before/after impact **Date** Tuesday 24/02/26 **Location** [Ixor, Schuttersvest 75, 2800 Mechelen](https://www.google.com/maps?sca_esv=3d16839f334d68f5&rlz=1C5CHFA_enBE1133BE1133&sxsrf=ANbL-n41HRp_bji2meG1ikVLAPIz93Cunw:1769513461367&kgmid=/g/1pxwt4kls&shem=bdsle,ptotple,shrtsdl&shndl=30&kgs=61800e9c5aeb0c1b&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=be&sa=X&geocode=KcOEjoHS5cNHMa9y5riKRn8U&daddr=Schuttersvest+75,+2800+Mechelen) **Timing** *Doors* \- 18:00 *TechTalk* \- 18:30 until 19:30\, followed by networking & drinks *End -* 21:00

The practice of authentic presence is about freely expressing and revealing yourself while being with others. Through this practice, you learn to let go of habitual patterns and conditioned responses, allowing you to form deeper, more genuine connections rooted in who you truly are. ## About the event Authentic presence is a path of radical honesty. It creates a safe and supportive environment where you can look at yourself with fresh eyes. At the same time it often is fun, enjoyable, beautiful, and meaningful. Ultimately, this practice leads to a closer connection with yourself and more meaningful relationships with others. Join these beginner sessions to learn basic techniques from authentic relating and circling. Activities include meditations, dialogues, and exercises on sharing and owning your experience. No prerequisites—just come as you are!

**Welcome to our February UX Beers in Antwerp!** This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 24th of February with [Ariad](https://www.ariadgroup.com/en) at [Plein Magazijn](https://www.pleinmagazijn.be) in Antwerp.

In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative. Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an **AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow**, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed. **Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems** [David Grunewald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrunewald/), Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-Strategist AI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them. This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale. We'll examine **four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work**. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world? You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

Cellist Han Bin Yoon has captivated audiences internationally with his emotional performances and rich tone, praised by La Libre Belgique for his “superb resonances, deployed with elegance and a zest of sentimentality.” Based in Belgium, Han Bin is the Artistic Director of the Belgium Cello Society, where his passion for programming is evidenced through the society’s diverse activities. A dedicated and inspirational educator, Han Bin is currently a professor of cello and chamber music at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (ARTS²). His artistic vision for the Belgium Cello Society Masterclasses and his leadership position as the Jury Chairperson of the Buchet International Cello Competition constantly attract top cellists from around the world to his activities. Be part of this conversation and let’s chat about how music plays a part of your life & the world around us. Free to attend - but you need to register your place! Inspiration, tea and a glass of wine are offered to you ❤️.

On 26.02.2026 we visit Atelier 210 in Etterbeek for the **Science & Cocktails #44** **Lendert Gelens + Noisy Nuns (be)** The idea is to explore the more alternative art scene of Brussels. We’ll kick things off with a cozy Thursday evening event: Cocktail in hand and surrounded by friends, we’ll experience a live science experiment designed to spark some philosophical thoughts — followed by a concert if you feel like sticking around a bit longer. tickets: 10€ (included a cocktail or a mocktail) to buy from the event page: \[https://atelier210\.be/saisons/saison\-25\-26/science\-cocktails\-44/\]\(Event page\) ‍+ **Life without a blueprint (Lendert Gelens, PhD VUB): Lessons from frog eggs** Life is more than DNA. Every living cell is a bustling, self-organizing system where countless molecules cooperate without a master plan. In our lab, we explore this mystery by taking frog eggs apart and watching their molecular “soup” come alive again — forming nuclei, dividing, and even building simple cell-like structures. By combining experiments with physical modeling and computer simulations, we uncover some of the hidden rules that let life build itself and adapt to changing environments. Such work forces us to think differently about life’s origins and what it takes for matter to become living. What makes something alive? **Noisy Nuns (be)** Noisy Nuns are two women sweating behind their keyboards and drums, combining raw energy with incisive melodies. They have both cut their teeth in the Belgian rock scene, working on projects such as Moaning Cities, Von Dead, SOROR, Dario Mars... and decided, with Noisy Nuns, to create a more personal project, giving free rein to their instincts.

A relaxed walk. No pressure: you can chat, stay quiet, or simply enjoy the walk. Une balade tranquille. Pas de pression : tu peux parler, rester silencieux·se ou juste profiter de la marche.

# **About Event** ​As winter begins to lift, a new energy is stirring. On **March 1st**, we gather at the Shanti Dôme to honor this transition—moving from the quiet of the inner world back toward the warmth of human connection. ​This gathering is a living room for the soul. We’ve designed a flow that moves in waves, guiding us from our inner world into the heart of the community: * ​**The Ritual of Opening:** We begin by grounding ourselves in the beauty of the Dôme. With a cup of ceremonial cacao as our companion, we’ll quiet the outside noise and listen to what is ready to grow within us this season. * ​**The Shared Resonance:** From silence, we move into a collective vibration. Guided by our **Architect of Sound**, we will weave a living chorus together. You will receive your own unique thread of sound—a personalized "sonic instruction"—that contributes to a larger, powerful harmony. * ​**The Art of Being Seen:** This is our core practice for the afternoon—a fluid dance between presence and curiosity. Within the room, you will navigate a landscape of **Anchors** and **Travelers**. It is an intuitive journey of following your attraction, crossing paths with others, and discovering the stories waiting beneath the surface. * ​**The Time to Shine:** Finally, the structure dissolves completely. The floor is yours to mingle, follow up on a spark of conversation, or simply enjoy the company of a community that values authenticity over small talk. ​Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. Let’s see what grows. \*\*\* ​** Journey Timeline** ​*Please note: We begin at 15:00 sharp to honor the collective flow.* * ​**14:45:** Arrival & Settling In * ​**15:00:** Intro & Landing * ​**15:15:** Cacao Serving * ​**15:45:** Shared Resonance * ​**16:15:** The Art of Being Seen * ​**16:45:** Time to Shine (Socializing) * ​**17:45:** Closing Circle * ​**18:00:** Departure \*\*\* ​** Practical Details** * ​**Language:** English (Translation in **FR/ES/NL** available upon request). * ​**Location:** [Shanti Dôme - Yoga Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/eP8qAVk7vVcnZ97t6) * ​**Website:** [omshana.com](https://omshana.com/) & [https://shantidome.be](https://shantidome.be/) ​**Energy Exchange:** * ​**Very Early Bird:** 15€ (Available until Feb 8) * ​**Early Bird:** 20€ (Available until Feb 22) * ​**Regular:** 25€ **Ticket here: [LUMA LINK](https://luma.com/3u3lwcrg?fbclid=IwY2xjawP-rvpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF2MEtoMkVvN25YTFFxZm1Jc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHiQDWRxB17grbYCxykzUujuT95IewNR1ObIMZr4JatEDfAim_GhkWKLKOz98_aem_rKD7kauCqkcKwQBAN9TCXw)** \*\*\* ​** Stay Connected** ​Join our community to keep the connection alive beyond the gathering: * ​**WhatsApp:** [Join the Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IdDdk9G8damKjV787DwDbN) * ​**Facebook:** [Join the Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/omshana)

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
