Innovate on what you already have.
The four conversations
Each conversation runs twice, so you join two.
Small rooms, few slides, and people who have already made the call you are looking at. Pick one or two. You can still switch on the day.
-
What do you standardise, and where do you make the difference?
Keeping the core for what it was meant to do, and deciding what stays yours.
-
Every new partner, another integration to build
Onboarding, e-invoicing mandates, and the PDFs somebody still retypes.
-
AI that survives production
Identify value, data and ownership with the roll-out in mind.
-
Keeping it running while the budget moves
Build and run, based on predictable cost and global coverage.
Nothing marked yet. Your picks travel with your RSVP below.
How the afternoon runs
One plenary, four conversations, then dinner.
13:15
Doors and coffee
Badges, coffee, and the people you came for.
13:45
A CEO and a CIO, one landscape
Sixty minutes on stage with Michaël Van Droogenbroeck. One company, four demands, and the order that decides whether it lands this year or in three.
14:45
Break
Pick your first conversation.
15:15
First round
Forty five minutes. Small rooms, few slides.
16:15
Second round
The same four, so nothing forces you to choose once.
17:00
Back together
Where Brainsquare Group stands on the same four questions, and what we learned running them ourselves.
17:15
Walking dinner
Until 20:00. Where the real conversations start.
Overheard in a boardroom like yours
Let me guess. Someone in data wants a GPU. Operations wants everything to keep running. Your transformation lead wants a roadmap that still makes sense next year. And Finance wants faster reporting.
The vendor says one platform covers all of it. End to end, inside their box.
It covers plenty. One size fits the average company. Ours needs room for the part that makes us different.
And the AI project?
Beautiful in the demo. Ask me again when it runs in production, at scale, and the data behind it stays ours.
So what do I tell the board?
On 22 October it is on stage.
Who will be there
Around 120 people, each invited by name.
IT leaders, architects, data and AI, finance, operations. The AI question reaches everyone. No black and white answers, but peers facing the same challenge and navigating it together. Deliberately cross-sector, because the same decisions keep turning up everywhere. Some of them are our clients, so you get their experience first hand.
Our perspective
The next eight years of your landscape get decided this year.
What becomes standard, and what stays the reason customers pick you. Four conversations.
