**Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture**
Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world.
But how does this work in practice?
In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries.
After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it.
**Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build**
Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️
Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind!
How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️
By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️
But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session.
So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye?

Welcome to the page of the Maastricht & Valkenburg daytrip. On the first day of spring, we like to welcome you to a trip to the very southern edge of the Netherlands: home to the picturesque city of Maastricht, and the river valley town of Valkenburg.
The plan goes as follows:

* 18:29 Train to Den Bosch
* 19:53 2/32 min. transfer in Den Bosch
* 20:37/21:07 Arrive in Arnhem
While these times are mostly fixed, train disruptions may force us to change the plan. Were they to happen, all changes will be announced in the discussion chat of this event page, as well as in our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FjOEhSiBHDc7Y2Owz954wi).
**Meetup in Arnhem & Den Bosch**
The two meetup places are in Arnhem Centraal Station, next to the Burger King at 9:30, and at 's-Hertogenbosch station on platform 7a at 10:40. If you want to join at another location, like on the train or in Maastricht, please let us know in advance. These are also the places where the group splits and disbands at the end of the day, but of course you may leave the group at any time you like.
Please sign up by RSVP on Meetup or via [Google Forms](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2g-H1CVAJrpTD-T0ELzcqoDOmggzyB4bm3lIOqqRRnf0s9Q/viewform?usp=header). We will all travel by using our own OV-Chipkaart or bank card. Tip: if you don't have an NS subscription or the *studentenreisproduct* you can buy train tickets (usually at a discount if you buy it days in advance) on [ns.nl](ns.nl/en) or the NS app.

In order to keep our Meetup-page active, everyone joining the event will be asked to pay a 2 euro contribution. The payment will be handled via Tikkie, and is refundable if you cancel before Wed March 18th 10:00 - and in any case if we cancel or postpone the event of course.
We hope to see you there!

So come out, enjoy an excellent breakfast, learn a little more about me and Title Insurance, and consider being a part of a fantastic group of business professionals. Be prepared to tell everyone about your business in about 30 seconds or less. We want to know what you do but have to keep it short so we can complete the meeting's agenda, we want to honor your time!
• 30 second elevator speech? What do I say?!
Your Name
Your Company's Name
What your company does (in basic form)
One key difference maker (deliver on-time, on budget. or We close complicated cases. or We can sell your home quickly and for top dollar. Etc...)
Who you would like to meet in the room or in the area (so we can refer you business :-) )
Keep it short and sweet, there will be plenty of time after and before the meeting to get to know other people in the group and even opportunities to schedule "one to one/1:2:1" meetings. We love to grab our coffee and go out to a spot in the lobby afterwards in one on ones to discuss how we can work together, get to know each other, get business done! So plan a little extra time to meet if need be.
The AI Workflow That’ll Help Fix the Gaps in Your Funnel
Leads come in, but they don’t move.
Prospects engage, but they don’t convert.
Customers join, but they don’t stay.
And most teams are guessing where the breakdown actually is.
At this DC Marketing Tech Talks event, Geoff Livingston will walk you through a practical, end-to-end AI workflow designed to help you identify and fix the gaps in your customer journey. This session is about using AI to analyze how buyers are actually moving through your funnel, uncover where engagement drops off, and turn that insight into measurable improvements.
You’ll learn how to:
* Map your real customer journey
* Identify friction points across your lead funnel
* Use AI to analyze messy marketing data in a structured way.
Geoff will show you how to turn disconnected touchpoints into a clear picture of behavior, how to surface usable insights, and how to feed those insights back into your campaigns to improve performance.
This session will give you a detailed playbook. You will see the specific tools, the specific processes, and the step-by-step structure to implement this workflow inside your own organization. From auditing your journey to identifying measurable gaps, to prioritizing the highest-impact fixes, to building a repeatable optimization loop, you will walk away knowing exactly how to execute this approach from start to finish.

Anatomy of an AI Agent: The Hitchhiker’s “GUID” to Understanding Agentic AI
AI agents are quickly moving from buzzword to workplace reality. These systems can research, write, analyze data, interact with software, and even coordinate other tools — tasks that were traditionally performed by knowledge workers. But what exactly is an AI agent, and why is it becoming so important?
This session breaks down how AI agents actually work in plain language. We will explore the components that make an agent “agentic,” how they plan and execute tasks, and how organizations are beginning to use them to augment teams and automate complex workflows. More importantly, we will discuss what this shift means for professionals, managers, and entrepreneurs: how roles are changing, why directing intelligent systems is becoming a core skill, and how individuals can use AI agents to increase their impact or even build new businesses.
Attendees will leave with a clear mental model of AI agents, practical examples of real-world use, and an understanding of how to prepare for a future where humans increasingly work alongside — and supervise — intelligent digital workers.
