Yesterday, we turned our old datacenter into the beating heart of ๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ 2025.
We cleared out server racks, rolled in demo gear, and invited some of the brightest minds in tech, governance, and security to help us answer one big question: ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐?
From ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ-๐จ๐ง ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐๐ฌ, this yearโs edition was scrappy, smart, and unapologetically hands-on.
The keynote line-up? Packed with sharp minds and sharper insights:
We kicked off with Maaike Okano-Heijmans from Clingendael, diving into Europeโs role in a world where tech equals power.
Then Tom Driessen took the stage, showing why true resilience means preparingโnot just reacting.
Kim van Wilgen flipped the script on sovereignty, making the case for thoughtful, flexible design over rigid control.
Frank Breedijk brought it home with real-life lessons from the AI frontlinesโclear, urgent, no fluff.
And to close it all off, ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐ซ-๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐ reminded us whatโs at stake when digital threats meet societal impact.
Massive thanks to everyone who joined, contributed, asked sharp questions, and helped make the day what it was.
And of courseโ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ-๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐๐๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ who made this possible: Commvault, RedHat (Ingram Micro), Arrow Nederland, NetApp, Amazon Web Services (AWS) / Microsoft Azure, Arista Networks, VMware and Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Weโre not just talking about the future.
Weโre building itโtogether.
