Talk 1: Sergio Mensing | An introduction to React Server Components

Talk 2: Michaël Hompus en Bart Renders | From Duplo to Domain Knowledge
Are you struggling to onboard new employees with technical skills but lacking domain knowledge? Instead of letting them learn the domain on their own, we developed a serious game to simplify and speed up the learning process.

We began with simple tools like post-its and evolved to using customized Duplo blocks to visualize complex processes. This hands-on approach made learning more engaging and effective.

In our session, we’ll share our journey from concept to implementation, offering practical tips on creating your own serious game to improve onboarding. Whether you're an IT leader, trainer, or interested in innovative learning, join us to transform your onboarding process and help new team members quickly integrate and contribute.

Talk 3: Roelant Dieben | AI vs humans, synergy or moral dilemmas in the making
Artificial intelligence is increasingly ubiquitous, all around us, influencing diverse aspects of our daily lives—from healthcare and finance to education and entertainment.

The potential for synergistic human-AI collaboration grows as AI systems become more sophisticated. AI can augment human abilities, leading to innovative solutions and efficiencies that were previously unimaginable, but the potential drawbacks and lingering moral dilemmas are something we should not ignore.

During this session, we will explore all these aspects of AI, and help you make sense of the question: "Is this pure synergy, or is this the source of new moral dilemmas in the making?"
