The kick-off was a conversation with chairman Martijn Koning and former CEO Randstand, Jacques van den Broek. Jacques shared his unique perspective on digitalisation and its effect in boardrooms. ''A CEO tells a story, the CIO/CDO makes it happen, they are partners in crime''. 

Attendees were then led through the highlights of the past year by six lively pitches. Afterwards, people could share knowledge and experience among themselves on various current topics in speed dates and break-outs. Moreover, with the energy of the New Zealand Haka, there was a good and spirited discussion about the ambitions and future of the association after the coffee break. Finally, of course, there was plenty of room for relaxation and good conversation. 

In this sense, we did justice to the theme of this Year Day: Empowering our Tech & Data Community from within! Thanks again to all participants and speakers and have a great summer! 

We will share a more detailed impression and summary of the Year Day soon within the association.
