On this page I’ll be maintaining the conferences, seminars and other public appearances I do and have been doing in the past.
I have been speaking and attending many conferences and seminars (EKON, SDN, BorCon, BASTA, DevDays, KowledgeDay to name a few).

Since I like sharing knowledge (ain’t that what the internet is about?), I’ll try put the session materials on-line for those.
Though nothing beats a live explanation, these materials can be a real good starter.

Since I speak Ducth, English and German, it might be that some of the materials might not be in your native language!
I’ll try to consistently mark the language though.

If you have requests for past conference materials, please drop me a message at the contact form.
There is a lot of material (for instance, I have spoken on all of the EKON conferences)
