SUMMARY:Summer Event - Tech/AI Day Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Agenda \n12.00 Welcome & Registration with Sandwich Lunch \n12.45 Introduction by Peter Vermeylen\, Chairman CIOforum \n13.00 Opening Keynote: From AI Pilot to AI Capability: A Hands-On Playbook by Bart de Laender\, Chief Operational Officer PGS Group (supported by Plainsight) \nThe PGS Group is a large European industrial player focused on the production\, reconditioning\, and logistics of wooden pallets.The company positions itself as a supply chain partner driving cost efficiency and circularity. Not the obvious candidate for an AI story. In this session\, Bart shares where PGS Group stands in its AI journey: not at the finish line but actively working through it. He explains how the company evolved from scattered experimentation to a more structured approach\, identifying where AI can truly add value within a complex industrial environment\, building a phased roadmap\, and launching an AI Champions program to support adoption across distributed teams. This is an ongoing journey rather than a retrospective. Bart highlights early results\, candid challenges\, and the key questions PGS Group continues to explore. \n14.00 Three parallel Masterclasses coordinated by Christophe Posson\, Atlas Copco\, and Chris Borremans\, Komatsu Europe and Steve Decroubele\, Galloo \n14:00 – 16:30 Unlocking the potential of agentic AI by Pieter Mergan\, Director Customer & Business Excellence at sdworx\, and Mihailo Backovic\, Partner at Yuma owner of xplus (supported by xplus )\nApplying agentic AI has the potential to allow organizations to fundamentally change the way they’re doing their business or even the business they’re doing. In this presentation Pieter and Mihailo will share their experience and insights in making it happen at scale in an HR Services Environment. \n14:00 – 16:30 Trust me\, I’m your vendor..\, by Keanu Nys\, Head of Offensive Security at spotit (supported by spotit)\nFrom an attacker’s point of view\, trust is often the easiest way in. In this session\, Ethical Hacker Keanu takes you inside the mindset and techniques of modern attackers\, based on real-world findings from his team; He exposes the most common third-party attack paths encountered during penetration tests and other engagements today; Through concrete examples\, he shows how attackers exploit “legitimate” access to move laterally and escalate impact\, often without triggering traditional alarms. The session makes one thing clear: trust must be verified continuously. Because when it comes to vendors\, attackers are more than happy to say: Trust me\, I’m your vendor… \n14:00 – 16:30 Boost efficiency & customer experience with process mining powered by SAP Signavio\, by Koen De Vleeschauwer – Director Moore Management Consulting (supported by Moore MC)\nOrganizations often have an ideal vision of how their processes “should” work\, based on process diagrams and work instructions. However\, reality often deviates. Hidden unhappy flows occur quite often\, impacting lead time\, cost to process\, and customer satisfaction. Signavio changes that. Process mining reveals how your end-to-end processes actually run and where things go wrong\, using SAP ERP transactional data. We explain how Signavio becomes a key element in process & performance improvement. With his 25 years of experience with operational excellence and digital transformation\, Koen will explain how to position & use process mining.He will also demonstrate briefly what Signavio brings to you. \n16.30 Closing Masterclasses \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT PARTNERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDynapps is the largest Odoo implementation partner in the world.

SUMMARY:Summer Event - Tech/AI Day Business Speaker’s Corner
DESCRIPTION:Agenda  \n17.00 Welcome & Registration Business Speaker’s Corner \n17.30 Introduction to the Business Speaker’s Corner by Peter Vermeylen\, Chairman CIOforum\, Edwin D’Hondt\, CIOforum\, and Elise Descamps\, Program Manager imec.istart Belgium \nCIO’s are curious (anxious?) about what AI will mean for their companies in the future.\nStarting with an introduction on imec.istart – who are we and what do we do – we will put 4 startups on stage that work extensively with AI tools themselves (or have an AI product). We gain insight via a ‘fireside chat’ into how they deal with AI as startups and what the consequences could be for larger companies\, or even how those companies will have to adapt. The start-ups involved at the discussions are Metagem (Sean Walsh or Benjamin Miraglio)\, Sympl (Steven Pyck)\, HappyClient (Jonathan Dierckens) and Prismos (Pepijn Mores)! The moderator will likely be the CEO of Dynapps. \n19.00 Closing of the event by Peter Vermeylen\, Chairman CIOforum \n19.00 Networking opportunity accompanied by food and drinks \n21.00 End of Event \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT PARTNERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDynapps is the largest Odoo implementation partner in the world.
