Hi everyone! As your new group organizer, I wanted to hit the ground running by securing a massive perk for our community.
I’ve partnered with the TransformIT Europe Conference to get our members an exclusive 50% discount for their summit in Brussels this May. This is a high-level event featuring exclusive speakers from:

• United Nations
• European Commission
• Google
• T-Systems
  ... and many more.

🎙 The Headliners:

• Dusan Chrenek (European Commission): Principal Adviser for the Digital Green Transition—at the heart of how the EU balances AI growth with climate goals.
• Griet Cattaert (United Nations): Discussing how technology moves beyond "compliance" to become a competitive advantage for sustainability.
• Industry Heavyweights: Experts from Google, T-Systems, and many more on sovereign cloud infrastructure and industrial AI.
• Dr. Frauke Fischer: Biodiversity expert asking: "Can AI save Nature?"

Why this matters for us: We usually talk about models and code, but this event focuses on the sovereignty and infrastructure side—how Europe can actually scale AI sustainably. It’s a great chance for us to move from "how it works" to "how it transforms society."

Key Topics:

• Digital Sovereignty: Europe’s sovereign IT infrastructure.
• AI for ESG & GreenTech: AI for sustainability and the circular economy.
• Smart Cities: Real-world IoT and Smart Building case studies.

🎟 Discount & Registration – 50% Discount for members of this Meetup Group

SheLovesToCode - Shell (free)

Curious about coding but not sure where to start? Join us in SLTC, a free beginner-friendly workshop designed for women+ who want to explore tech in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Organised by 42 Belgium, this workshop series creates a space where women+ can learn, experiment, and connect with others who are curious about technology.

Each edition focuses on a different area of programming and combines hands-on learning with inspiration and community.

In this workshop, we’ll explore Shell, the interface that allows you to interact directly with your computer through commands.

You’ll learn the basics of navigating your system, running commands, and understanding how developers work with the terminal in their everyday workflow. No prior coding experience is required, this session is designed especially for beginners.

She Loves To Code is also about building community and creating visibility in tech.

Each workshop is followed by:

🎤 Tech talks by women in tech, sharing their career journeys and experiences

🤝 Get to know other women+ interested in technology

It’s a space to learn, ask questions, meet new people, and discover what a future in tech could look like.

- Explore coding in a safe, inclusive and accessible environment

- Get hands-on experience with real tools used in tech

- Hear real stories from women working in the industry

- Connect with a growing community of women+ in tech

Bring your curiosity -and maybe a friend- and join us for an evening of learning, inspiration, and community. 💜

An event for researchers and students with entrepreneurial ambition to get inspired, find direction and connect.

Panel conversation with 4 founders. 4 domains. 4 real stories of starting from zero.

Get inspired by founders who once stood exactly where you are now. Hear how they took their first steps, what challenges they faced and how they turned an idea into something real.

What you will get during this panel session:

- Honest, unfiltered founder stories, from first idea to first traction
- Concrete insights into how to start, even without a clear plan
- A clear overview of free support programs in Brussels that can help you move forward
- The opportunity to connect with key players in the local startup ecosystem

Dive into the essentials of cybersecurity, learn about the legal framework and explore cool career paths in these two in-person sessions.

Workshop on anonymisation and data regulation, highlighting preliminary EC findings against Alphabet on Article 6(11) DMA compliance.

This workshop will examine the growing centrality of anonymisation in EU digital regulation, with particular focus on the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Recent enforcement developments , most notably the European Commission's preliminary findings on the sharing of search data, confirm that anonymisation and re-identification risk now lie at the heart of the policy debate.

The workshop's first objective is to understand how the Commission seeks to combine technical and contractual controls, why it appears to favour a heuristics-based approach over established anonymisation models such as k-anonymity, and what alternative approaches could offer in terms of privacy guarantees and utility preservation.

The discussion will then situate these developments within the broader regulatory context of the proposed Digital Omnibus package, which includes amendments to the definition of personal data and, through Article 41a, seeks to recalibrate the institutional balance between the Commission and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).

Against this backdrop, the workshop asks whether the EU is witnessing the emergence of a new governance model for anonymisation, one shaped less by horizontal instruments than by sector-specific measures. Workshop participants will discuss the implications of these trends for privacy protection and regulatory coherence across the Union.

AI is not failing. Your data is. Join us to gather insights and applicable solutions to integrate AI safely into your organisation.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organisations operate, communicate, and create impact. But the gap between ambition and readiness is widening.

Organisations lack the data foundations, governance, and strategic frameworks to act on it. Translating in fake reports and other issues.

This after-work event brings together leading voices from Europe's AI, IoT, and digital innovation ecosystem for an honest, practical conversation about what AI and Data readiness actually looks like, and how organisations of all sizes can get where they need to be.

This is not a hype event.

Expect real insights, applied case studies, and the kind of peer conversation that moves things forward. Bringing together AI, data and real-world impact - from enterprise systems to the Antarctica dataverse.

YOUR TICKET, YOUR IMPACT

Thinking about freelancing in tech? Get honest insights on finding assignments, building your network, and getting started.

Thinking about freelancing in tech? Or already started, but still figuring things out? This event is for people who want to become freelancers and for freelancers who are still in the early phase of their journey.

Because starting out is about more than making the leap. It is about knowing how to find assignments, how to build your network, and how to create a freelance career that fits you.

During this evening, you will hear an honest and relatable story from Karen De Bock, a digital professional with more than 20 years of experience in design, front end development, project management, client strategy, and leadership.

Karen started her career as an employee, then moved into freelance work to gain more freedom, flexibility, and variety. What started as solo freelance work later grew into a company of around 25 people. After selling that business around the COVID period, she is now returning to freelancing with a fresh perspective, focusing on project management, coaching, and guiding people through change.

Her story is interesting because it is real. No polished guru story. Just practical experience, honest lessons, and a career path that evolved over time.

• Practical insights on becoming a freelancer in tech
• Inspiration from a speaker with real life experience
• Tips on finding assignments and growing your network
• Time for Q&A and networking with others in a similar phase

• People who want to become freelancers in tech
• Freelancers who recently started
