🇳🇱 Tech Events in Netherlands

Amsterdam Perl Mongers is een Perl gebruikers groep, die allerlei events in de omgeving van Amsterdam organiseert om Perl users te helpen.

Voel je vrij om mee te doen aan de maandelijkse bijeenkomsten van Amsterdam.pm, waar je andere Perl adepten kunt ontmoeten, over Perl kunt praten, discussiëren en kennis opdoen.

Onze bijeenkomsten vinden als regel plaats op de eerste dinsdag van elke maand.

Join us for an engaging Codelab session where you'll dive into the fascinating world of AI agent development using the Agent Development Kit! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to implement and deploy a client agent service that uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, focusing on the vital architectural principle of separation of concerns.

You will construct a Python-based tour guide agent for a fictional zoo, utilizing a predeployed MCP server to access animal data and leveraging Wikipedia for creating compelling tour experiences.

This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of AI agent communication with external tools via secure APIs.

Make sure to take your laptop with you and have your Google Account ready!

Op woensdag 5 augustus 2026 ben je weer van harte welkom bij de maandelijkse inspiratie- en netwerkbijeenkomst van OC070.

We gaan weer speednetwerken!

Maak in vlot tempo kennis met de aanwezige ondernemers.
Wissel ervaringen uit, kijk hoe je elkaar kunt helpen.
Soms is dat door zaken met elkaar te doen, maar veel vaker is dat door mensen uit jouw netwerk met die ander in contact te brengen.
Zo helpen we elkaar verder.
En als jij de ander helpt, komt dat altijd bij je terug.

Ben jij er (weer) bij?
Nodig vooral ook ondernemers uit je eigen netwerk uit.
Hoe meer zielen, hoe meer vreugd!

OC070 is het grootste gratis* netwerkevenement van Den Haag en omgeving! Kom langs en ontmoet zeer diverse ondernemers / ZZP'ers / MKB'ers / solopreneurs / Entrepreneurs.

▶ PROGRAMMA
• 8:45 deur open, vrij netwerken / koffie / thee
• 9:20 opening / welkom en pitches
• 9:40 start speednetwerken
• 10:30 korte pauze / koffie / thee
• 10:45 speednetwerken
• 11:30 einde bijeenkomst

▶ WAT GAAN WIJ DOEN
We beginnen om 09.00 uur en dan krijg je een naamsticker en kun je rustig een lekker drankje gaan halen. Vaak beginnen hier al de gesprekken.
Hoe werkt het ♦Speednetwerken♦ in het kort: Zodra het speednetwerken begint dan krijgen de bezoekers een plaats aan de tafel tegenover een andere bezoeker. Jij gaat tussen 4 tot 6 minuten in gesprek met een andere leuke ondernemer. Na deze 4 / 6 minuten wissel je weer van gesprekspartner en dan gaat opnieuw de gesprekstijd weer in. Op deze manier leer je in korte tijd (en op leuke en originele wijze, daar zorgen wij voor) vele mede ondernemers kennen.
We starten dan de stopwatch en kun je een leuk gesprek beginnen met een andere ondernemer.
Ging de tijd iets te snel? Geen zorgen! Na afloop is er nog voldoende tijd om verder te netwerken en bijvoorbeeld een eerder speeddategesprek in alle rust te vervolgen.

▶ PITCHEN
Wil jij een dienst / product / evenement onder de aandacht brengen aan de groep deelnemers? Dat kan via een business pitch. Wij bieden een beperkt aantal ondernemers de mogelijkheid om een presentatie / pitch te geven van 1 minuut. Stuur even een bericht aan onno@oc070.nl indien je wilt pitchen of wanneer je meer informatie wenst hierover. Aan deze pitch zijn kosten verbonden (€ 12,50 incl btw) waarmee wij onze operationele kosten zoals de website en meetup.com van betalen. Je ontvangt achteraf netjes van ons een btw factuur.

▶ LOCATIE VERIDIUS LANGE KLEIWEG 6 RIJSWIJK
Dankzij de schitterend en ruime locatie van Veridius op de Lange Kleiweg 6 Rijswijk (Industrieterrein Plaspoelpolder) kunnen wij ook dit evenement voor jullie organiseren. Tijdens het netwerken kun je genieten van een lekker bakje koffie, thee, fris en / of iets te eten. Je kunt dit, op eigen kosten, bestellen bij de counter van Veridius.
Maar blijf vooral even hangen na het event, je kunt bij Veridius ook genieten van een heerlijke lunch!

Every first wednesday of the month.
Same time, same place.

Due to my absence, I will be hosting the upcoming event in August.

This is the time to discuss trends we see in the businesses. Let's discover how the art and science of Org Design can move from important to urgent.

Op 6 augustus is het exact 35 jaar geleden dat de allereerste website ter wereld live ging. Een fantastisch historisch haakje om samen te komen met de denkers, makers en innovators van de nieuwe generatie van de digitale AI-economie!

Verwacht geen droge corporate presentaties of standaard praatjes. We toveren de Yoursafe contentstudio aan de Wibautstraat om tot een energieke arena waar de community écht het woord krijgt. Ben jij bezig met media, tech, maatschappij of ondernemerschap en wil je meepraten over hoe geld, machines en de mensheid samenkomen in de toekomst? Dan mag je deze middag niet missen.

Het Programma: De Arena (3-3-2 Lightning Talks)

Centraal tijdens deze meetup staat De Arena live in de studio. Hierin gaan jonge opiniemakers uit de community in een vlijmscherp en dynamisch 3-3-2 format (3 minuten presentatie, 3 minuten Q&A met het panel en de zaal, 2 minuten open discussie) in gesprek over drie grote thema's die onze generatie raken:
1. 💰 De Geldstrateeg (Pilaar: GELD)
Hoe behoud je financiële autonomie in een wereld vol inflatie? We praten over slim ondernemen, side-hustles, de gig-economy en onafhankelijk worden van traditionele banken via peer-to-peer oplossingen (zoals FundMe en Yourcash).
2. 🛡️ De Tech-Ethicus (Pilaar: BESCHERMING)
Het digitale geweten van de community. Hoe beschermen we onze privacy tegen Big Tech-surveillance? We bespreken digitale eenzaamheid en het belang van échte, veilige menselijke connectie (en tools zoals CheckMe en on-premise dataopslag).
3. 🚀 De Tech-Insider (Pilaar: TOEKOMST)
Complexe tech simpel uitgelegd. Van de nieuwste Nvidia-chips en LLM's tot de transitie naar de Agentic Economy. Hoe werkt de infrastructuur (zoals BitbrAln) die onze toekomst vormgeeft nou écht?

Tijdschema
15:00 – Inloop, koude drankjes & Yoursafe Radio DJ Vibe 🎵

15:30 – De Arena: 3-3-2 Lightning Talks & Interactieve Discussie (Live vanuit de studio) 🎙️

17:30 – Pizza, bier & gezellig netwerken met de community 🍕🍻

Wie zijn de Hosts?

Deze meetup wordt warm gefaciliteerd door het team van Yoursafe Radio. Zij stellen hun professionele studio en lounge kosteloos ter beschikking om deze community een boost te geven.

Je ontmoet er onder andere:
Joost & Giel: Die als panelleden live in de studio aanwezig zijn om scherpe vragen te stellen en mee te discussiëren. Giel Beelen deelt daarnaast zijn passie voor vernieuwende media met de community.

Daniël: Onze operationele held die zorgt dat de studio-techniek en de 4 live-camera's perfect klaarstaan om alles dynamisch vast te leggen.

Sophie, Aurora & Pepijn: Het creatieve hart van ons team die zorgen voor de muziek, de inloop, de pizza's en dat iedereen zich direct welkom voelt.
Hoe kun je meedoen?

Als Bezoeker / Netwerker: Wil je erbij zijn om te luisteren, te netwerken en mee te discussiëren vanuit de zaal? Meld je direct aan via de RSVP-knop. Let op: de lounge heeft een strikte limiet van 75 personen, dus vol = vol!
Als Spreker in De Arena:

Wil jij het podium pakken en jouw 3-minuten visie over Geld, Bescherming of de Toekomst live in de studio delen? Dit is een unieke kans om jouw stem te laten horen in een studio met een gigantisch bereik! Meld je aan en stuur ons via het aanmeldformulier een korte video-pitch van 60 seconden. (Zonder video kunnen we je aanvraag voor een sprekersplek helaas niet meenemen).

A monthly hangout for techies in Haarlem.

• Want to meet other people in tech who actually live nearby?
• Curious what your neighbours are building, breaking, or thinking about?
• Looking for a low-key evening to talk shop without it being a conference or a sales pitch?
• Working on something interesting and want people to bounce ideas off?
• Or just want to find your people in Haarlem?

Come hang out. Join our discord to learn more!
The Haarlem Code Collective is a casual monthly meetup for people who work in or around tech. No talks, no agenda, no slides. Just techies in a room, talking about what they’re working on, what they’re frustrated with, and what they’re excited about. Each month tends to have a loose focus to give the conversation somewhere to start, but topics are fluid and the evening goes wherever the room takes it. The kind of conversation that’s hard to find when most of the tech scene lives a train ride away in Amsterdam.
It happens the first Sunday of every month at Launchpad023. Show up, grab a drink, find a conversation. Some people come every month. Some show up once and never again. Both are fine.
This is for anyone working in tech in any capacity. Developers, sysadmins, designers, founders, hobbyists, students, people who used to be in tech and want to stay in the loop. If you find yourself reading this and wondering whether you count, you count.
Time 18:30 – 22:00
Location Launchpad023, Haarlem (Wateringweg 65)

• Yourself
• Whatever you want to talk about
• A laptop if you want to show something off, but you really don’t need one

Do I need to know anyone?
No. Most people come on their own the first time.
Is there a topic?
Each month usually has a loose focus, but nothing strict. Conversations drift, and that’s the point.
Do I need to be a professional developer?
No. Anyone working in or around tech is welcome, at any level.
What if I just want to listen?
That’s fine too. Show up, hang out, leave when you’ve had enough.
I can't sign up for the meetup?
We have hit the free limit! No worries, send a message and I'll send you on our discord group!

🇬🇧 From Legacy REST to OpenAPI: documenting existing APIs the smart way by Sijtsche Smeman (Get There)
Did you ever wish all your REST API's had a specification and a well-documented interface? In the earlier days of REST no specification did exist yet. In the later years there was Swagger.
You may have a landscape of undocumented services or they possibly even lack some checks. But how would you know without digging down in the code?
Remember the old days where you had a WSDL for SOAP endpoints? Today we have OpenAPI for REST interfaces.
In my current project at DUO we needed OpenAPI specifications for our existing applications. And they are quite easy to create. In this journey I'll show you how to document your existing REST endpoints with an OpenAPI specification and even make your application use it.

🇬🇧 Creating effective and objective architectural decision records (ADRs) by Piet van Dongen (OpenValue)
Documenting decisions is like eating your veggies as a kid: they keep telling you it’s good for you, but you just hate doing it. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) to the rescue! ADRs are perfect for just-in-time, just-enough documentation for engineering teams and organizations.

During this session, you will learn how to make architectural decisions effectively and objectively by:

- Learning the structure of a good ADR (no more walls of text that nobody reads anyway!)
- Practicing how to turn subjective choices into objective ones (no more pros and cons lists and tribal conflicts!)
- Creating editable diagrams, fast (no more spending hours wrestling tools that your collaborators don’t know how to use!)
- Collaborating quickly with technical and non-technical stakeholders (no more hours of Tower of Babel meetings!)
- Reporting the decision using effective language and fit-for-audience diagrams (no more writing reports that end up unread in drawers!)

Do you want to learn how to facilitate good decision making without spending weeks looking for consent?

Then join this session and you will walk away a better software architecture decision facilitator.

Who is this for?

• International software engineers working or studying in the Netherlands.
• Software developers, frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile, DevOps, QA, engineering managers, and other tech professionals.
• Dutch software engineers are also very welcome—we'd love to build an inclusive and diverse community.

Venue
We'll meet at Werkplaats Volkshotel. You can purchase drinks or snacks at the café if you'd like.

📍 We'll be sitting on the left-hand side of the café, in the open square area.

Please commit to your RSVP. It helps us plan the event in advance with the venue, and seating is limited.

If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else has the opportunity to join.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and growing a strong software engineering community together!

AWS conference in Utrecht, Netherlands

Co-founder / CTO at Decagon. Details TBD

How can digital technology support craftsmanship without removing the maker from the process? In this lecture, Aslı Aydın Aksan explores the role of digital technology within craft.

CTO conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands

We are thrilled to welcome you to our 11th edition of AI Native Netherlands, hosted at the Studytube headquarters in Amsterdam.

In this edition, Pini takes the organisational view of AI coding adoption - how it progresses across an engineering org and the order things tend to break as it scales. Aleksei goes hands-on into the tooling - what happens when you build an MCP server the way the docs suggest, where it falls apart, and the pattern that replaces it.

A massive thank you to our host, Studytube, for their generosity in providing the venue and drinks for this evening and for supporting the Dutch AI engineering community.

We'll cover:

• How AI coding adoption progresses across an engineering org, from first licences toward a mostly automated delivery process
• The order things usually break as adoption scales: coordination, review, testing, context, security boundaries, ownership, CI/CD, and product flow
• Why faster individual developers don't automatically mean faster team delivery
• The platform and infrastructure foundations for scaling AI-generated code safely
• Where traditional MCP tools fit, and where they hit their limits
• Giving a model an API plus a sandboxed code environment instead of writing a new tool for every use case
• Running model-generated code safely: sandboxing, module allowlists, CPU and memory limits, static analysis, and audit logs

Speaker 1: Pini Reznik (re:cinq)
Pini Reznik is a seasoned technology leader with extensive experience in the software industry. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of re:cinq, experts in Cloud Native and AI Native engineering. Former software engineer, Co-Founder of two successful consulting businesses and an O’Reilly author.

Talk: The AI Adoption Ladder: From First Licences to the Dark Factory
AI coding tools make individual developers faster, but many teams discover that delivery does not improve at the same rate. PR volume rises, review queues grow, tests become less convincing, context gets messy, and eventually product and platform bottlenecks become visible. AI did not remove the constraint; it moved it.

This talk introduces the AI Coding Adoption Ladder: a practical model for how engineering teams move from first licences to structured adoption, agentic workflows, and eventually software factory patterns. We will look at the order things usually break - coordination, review, testing, context, security boundaries, ownership, CI/CD, and product flow - and what software and DevOps engineers need to fix before AI-generated code can safely scale.

Speaker 2: Aleksei Moiseev (Studytube)
Aleksei is a software architect and engineer with 20+ years of experience building production systems, from hands-on development to large-scale architecture and platform engineering.

Today, he focuses on agentic AI, designing software factories where LLMs and autonomous agents perform real engineering work. His work spans self-hosted AI infrastructure, multi-agent systems, and the architectural patterns needed to run them reliably in production.

He builds and operates the systems he writes about, with a focus on practical, resilient engineering over hype.

Talk: The MCP Wire
Build an MCP server the way the docs tell you to — one API endpoint, one tool — and it works. Then you ask it to create 1,000 users and wait 25 minutes while it makes 1,000 separate calls. Multi-step workflows turn into long chains. Every new use case is another tool to write, test, and maintain. Adding "bulk" tools just moves the problem around.

Aleksei, an AI Solutions Architect at Studytube, walks through building exactly this server for Studytube's user and team management API, hitting that wall, and arriving at a different pattern: give the model an API and a sandboxed Python environment, and let it write and run code for the task in front of it. Ten tool calls become one short loop, executed once — about two seconds instead of fifteen.

The talk covers where traditional MCP tools still fit (simple, atomic, read-only operations), where code execution takes over (batch jobs, conditional logic, multi-step workflows), and how to run model-generated code safely: sandboxing, module allowlists, CPU and memory limits, static analysis, and full audit logs.

A hands-on talk for anyone building with MCP, or about to.

Agenda:
18:00 — Arrival, food & drinks
18:45 — Talk #1 | Pini Reznik
19:30 — Talk #2 | Aleksei Moiseev
20:15 — Networking & more drinks
21:00 — Wrapping up

What to bring: Just curiosity and your own questions. If you're wrestling with agentic workflows, CI/CD under AI-generated code, or security boundaries as adoption scales — or if you're building with MCP and hitting its limits — bring those.

Who is this for: Platform engineers, AI/ML engineers, SREs, architects, and engineering leaders working on reliable AI systems in production — and anyone building with MCP, or about to.
