EU AI Literacy presents series of interactive sessions exploring how AI is shaping our learning, work and everyday lives

In real life gathering of MadMapper Users, masterclasses, lectures, pop up store, party, food, drinks, installations, performances.

A two-day gathering in Brussels, at LaVallée — a vibrant, artist-friendly space at the heart of Europe. This event brings together the MadMapper community for an immersive experience blending creativity, technology, and human connection.

Expect a rich program of masterclasses, lectures, live performances, and an art exhibition, alongside a pop-up store showcasing tools and creations from the community. The venue extends beyond its walls with an outdoor space for installations and social moments, and transitions into a night clubbing atmosphere after dark.

Designed as a relaxed and open environment, the event encourages exchange and collaboration between a diverse mix of artists and professionals: visual creators, theater makers, dancers, performers, musicians, technicians, lighting operators, and developers.

Easily accessible and close to all amenities, the gathering also features food trucks, a bar, drinks, and vegetarian options — everything needed to sustain both body and mind.

More than an event, it’s a melting pot of ideas and disciplines. A place to expand your vision, build meaningful connections, and strengthen a community rooted in creativity and human relationships.

Join us on Thursday 3 September at 17:30 to discuss whether the public sector has the skills to deliver its AI ambitions.

Join us on Thursday 3 September at 17:30 for an evening built around a question every public institution is grappling with right now: if there is an AI strategy, do we also have the workforce to deliver it?

FARI, CEPS and VUCABLE join forces for this session, marking the local launch of MagiX, a new Master's programme in digital governance and transformation, AI and data, and human centred design for the public sector. Expect an informal, conversational evening, with plenty of room for your own questions and a proper networking moment to close.

This in person event takes place on Thursday 3 September at 17:30 in the FARI Test & Experience Centre (Cantersteen 16, 1000 Brussels).

Invited guest : Amy Carmichael works with the Ada Lovelace Institute, researching how public institutions in the UK adopt data and AI in practice, with a recent focus on local authorities and social care. Her work looks closely at how frontline services take on new technology, and where oversight keeps pace with adoption, and where it does not.

Description of the session : The evening opens with a keynote grounded in direct research into AI adoption in UK local government and social care, touching on the pace of oversight relative to tool rollout, and the practical realities frontline staff face day to day.

A moderated discussion with FARI, CEPS and VUCABLE then widens the conversation to what a real skills gap looks like in public administration, how AI adoption can narrow or widen existing inequalities between institutions and staff, and what the future of public sector work looks like as these tools become part of daily practice.

These questions show up across every layer of digital government right now: through procurement, design processes, frontline services adopting new tools faster than the safeguards built to govern them, or data foundations too patchy to support what is being asked of them.

Is this for you? This session is for you if you work in or with government and feel the distance between the AI strategy on the shelf and the AI actually happening on the ground. It is just as much for you if you are building toward that kind of work, whether already inside an institution or on the way there. Public sector professionals, digital transformation leads, and anyone developing these skills are welcome to join.

A balanced mix of learning and networking: the evening closes with an open Q&A, plenty of room for your own questions, and informal networking with the speaker and the three partner organisations over drinks.

This event is free to attend, but registration is compulsory. It is organized by FARI, CEPS and VUCABLE.

BSD / OS conference in Brussels, Belgium

Digital Workplace Brussels brings together experienced professionals and decision-makers from the Benelux and across Europe — including leaders and managers from communications, internal communications, digital workplace, HR, IT, and related fields. Many participants are part of the Advatera community of practice, which gives the event its distinctive peer-to-peer character.

Expect real-world case studies, practical takeaways, honest discussions, and valuable peer exchange — not theory, not entry-level content, and not a trade fair-style event. With a limited number of carefully selected partners, the focus is clearly on quality content, meaningful conversations, and professional networking.

From inspiring sessions and roundtable discussions to networking breaks and the get-together after the conference, Digital Workplace Brussels is designed for professionals who want to exchange ideas with peers, discover what actually works in practice, and take home insights they can apply in their own organization.
