We're thrilled to announce our **March 2026 Meetup**, hosted in collaboration with **Axway**. This edition covers two hot topics: governing your APIs and AI assets in the enterprise, and getting started with the AI Act — no legal jargon included. 📅 **Date:** March 19, 2026 🕐 **Time:** 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Quatuor - Tour C, Boulevard Roi Albert II, 4, Brussels (4 min walk from Brussels North station) **Agenda:** * **17:00 - 18:00** — Welcome coffee * **18:00 - 19:00** — Presentations with Q&A * **19:00 - 21:00** — Networking with food & drinks *** 🎤 **Talk 1: The Next Challenge — How to Create API & AI Asset Governance** *Rogier van Boxtel & Jarno Verrijzer (Axway)* Large organizations have created significant amounts of APIs over the last years. With corporate AI initiatives as next kids on the block, MCP and AI Agents are being developed in fast growing numbers as well. End result: all kinds of "integration assets", no governance, no management — resulting in all kinds of (security) risks. The solution: a central governance layer built on a complete, all "integration assets" service registry to be able to create, monetize and show relevant services to internal developers, business partners and "the world". During this presentation Rogier & Jarno will explain today's reality and share the way Axway can help to solve the governance challenge. 🎤 **Talk 2: No Legal Jargon — How Do I Get Started with the AI Act?** *Enzo Marquet (CRANIUM)* In this session, Enzo Marquet will translate the AI Act into concrete implementation: what does the AI Act say, how do you get started with it as a company, what reflexes should you develop, and what should you definitely avoid doing. All of this peppered with best practices! *** **Speaker Bios:** **Rogier van Boxtel** is a highly experienced integration software expert. Over 20 years ago he started as a consultant at TIBCO focusing on Business Process Management & Application Integration. He moved to a Solution Architecture role at TIBCO and after 10 years joined Axway as a Solution Architect and manager covering the complete set of Managed File Transfer, B2B & full lifecycle API Management solutions Axway offers. Today Rogier runs two Solution Architect teams, one covering Benelux & Nordics and one DACH. **Jarno Verrijzer** is a Pre-Sales Architect at Axway, supporting the Benelux, Nordics, and DACH regions, with a focus on the Amplify Platform. With over 10 years of experience in frontend, backend, integration, and enterprise architectures, he helps companies with their API strategy — whether they're just starting out, tackling specific challenges, or scaling their API landscape. **Enzo Marquet** is a Data Protection & AI Consultant at CRANIUM. He works extensively on the overlap between data protection and AI regulation, looking for workable solutions in an ever more complex landscape. Alongside his consultancy work, Enzo provides trainings and lectures on data protection and AI for various training institutes.

Are you the kind of person who happily spends the evening recharging at home with a book? Or the one who somehow leaves a party with three new friends and a plan for brunch next weekend? Introverts and extroverts often approach the world, and their relationships, in very different ways. Some people value quiet moments, deep conversations, and a small circle of trusted friends. Others thrive on social energy, group adventures, and the joy of bringing people together (sometimes adopting strangers along the way). But when it comes to friendship, do these differences actually matter? Join us for a lively and good-humoured debate as we explore the strengths, stereotypes, and surprising qualities associated with introverts and extroverts. Whether you recharge in solitude, in a crowd, or somewhere in between, come share your perspective! This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into four teams of two. Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. ⚠️ Disclaimer: We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming. • Respect ideas and people: Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. • Be concise and civil: Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. • Respect boundaries and time: No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. • Follow moderators: They guide the discussion and ensure fairness. Looking forward to seeing you there 😊
