Everything you should know about this event

How engineering teams operate has evolved significantly over the years, shaped by technological advances and changing business needs. During this meetup, we will explore where we stand today and the key trends influencing the way teams work around us. We will reflect on how development teams approached innovation and change in the past, and discuss how we would like to shape the future of engineering ourselves. 

A central theme is the role of artificial intelligence. Where does AI truly enhance our capabilities, and where should human judgement remain leading? Expect practical examples, strategic perspective and an open exchange with fellow engineering leaders.

Welcome to our office

Public transport or car?  

The ITO Tower is just a 2-minute walk from Amsterdam Zuid station, making it easily accessible by public transport. Prefer to come by car? To avoid high parking fees in the nearest car parks, consider options like De Boelelaan or services such as Parkbee or Mobian (park & bike) – instead of navigating to the nearest commercial car parks. The ITO Tower does not offer its own parking.
