### UX TALKS

Talk 1: Surviving the Wild: Stakeholder Strategies for Low-Maturity Organizations
Justine Van Hoorebeke, UX/UI Designer @Infrabel & @CBTW

You work in a place where "UX" isn't on the organizational chart, stakeholders don't speak your language, and "just make it pretty" is treated like strategy. This isn't a personal failure, it's a maturity problem. This talk breaks down survival tactics from real experience embedded in a major Belgian railway, including how to identify stakeholder types, speak their language, and build trust through small wins.

Talk 2: You Built a Design System. Now What?
Alexander Vandebeek, Digital Product Experience Lead @Infrabel & @CBTW

Building a design system is the easy part. The real challenge starts when you need people to adopt it, contribute to it, govern it, and make it scale across an organisation. That’s where design system maturity begins.

UX Beers
Periodically, we gather at a different company, agency or venue to drink beers, network and listen to speakers on various themes in the world of UX and digital design.
UX Antwerp: Each last Tuesday of the month

UX Workshops
Now and then we organize events to dive deeper into specific skills and techniques in UX. These are smaller, hands-on workshops designed to boost your UX toolbox.
