Our first keynote for Techorama Netherlands 2026 is here. 🏄🏻♂️ Dado Van Peteghem will open the conference with Scale vs Soul. #AI is moving fast. It can help us build faster, work faster and scale things we could never scale before. But that also raises another question. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲? What makes a company more than its technology? What makes people want to work somewhere, buy something or believe in an idea? That is where soul comes in. In his keynote, Dado will look at the balance between what technology can scale and what still makes us human. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿. Summer is clearly trying to tell us something… And so is our Summer Sale. We’re down to the last 45 tickets at €799. Once they’re gone, the Summer Sale is over and the regular price of €899 kicks in.

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸? That’s the question behind our Platform & Delivery Learning Journey at Techorama. Because shipping faster isn’t just about a quicker pipeline. It’s about making secure and reliable choices easier from the start. We’ve picked sessions covering Azure architecture, DevOps supply chain security, ASP.NET Core security, reliability and cost. Not a fixed track, but a practical route through the agenda to help you ship faster, without more risk. Marcel de Vries explains the journey in the video. See you in Utrecht!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮 .𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀? That’s the question behind our .NET Development Learning Journey at Techorama. We picked sessions that help you make better choices around architecture, async, .NET Aspire, C# 14, the web platform, EF Core and more. It’s not a fixed track. It’s a practical route through the agenda for .NET developers who want to keep their applications understandable, maintainable and ready for what comes next.

Today, Monday 24 August, we’re opening the Techorama Netherlands 2026 CfP again. Just for one week! Why? Because software development is not standing still. Since our original CfP closed, the world has already shifted again: new AI models, changing cloud and hyperscaler environments, usage-based billing becoming more visible, new tooling, new patterns, and many hard-earned lessons from teams building with AI in real projects. We already received more than 1,800 submissions, so this is not about filling gaps. It’s about making sure the agenda in October reflects what is relevant now. For you, our attendees. We’re looking for new or clearly updated sessions. Practical talks are very welcome too: what you tried, what worked, what failed, and what other developers or teams can learn from it. Open for one week only. Then it's closed for good. So act now: https://lnkd.in/eTdq-TTN

It’s about building AI into your applications and making sure those systems are reliable, secure and ready for the real world. That’s the idea behind our AI Learning Journey at Techorama. We picked sessions from the agenda that take you from AI prototypes to production, covering agents, security, identity, reliability, evaluation and monitoring. Gill Cleeren explains the journey in the video. See you in Utrecht.

𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲. With hundreds of sessions at #Techorama, choosing where to spend your time isn’t always easy. That’s why we’re introducing Learning Journeys. Instead of browsing the agenda session by session, you can start with a challenge you’re facing today and follow a suggested path of talks that build on each other. They’re not fixed tracks. They’re simply a better way to discover the sessions that matter most to you. We’ll be introducing each 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 over the coming weeks.

Join Oliver Sturm at Techorama Netherlands for his full-day workshop “Mastering Modern Architecture: Building Flexible, Distributed Systems with Hands-On Code.” You’ll go beyond the theory and build real solutions while exploring topics like: • Microservices • CQRS and Event Sourcing • GraphQL • Real-time communication • Token-based security • Telemetry, metrics, and logging • LLM integration Using practical, containerized samples in JavaScript and C#, you’ll compare monolithic and distributed architectures and learn the trade-offs behind every decision. Oliver Sturm is Training Director at Developer Express, Inc., a Microsoft MVP for 11 years, and a Docker Captain. With more than 30 years of experience as a developer, architect, consultant, trainer, and speaker, he brings a wealth of real-world knowledge to this workshop. If you want to build systems that are scalable, resilient, and ready for what’s next, this workshop is one you won’t want to miss.

But the ability to make the right architectural decisions is what separates software that survives for years from software that becomes tomorrow’s technical debt. That’s exactly what you’ll learn in Software Architecture Fundamentals with Steve “ardalis” Smith ✔. This is not a theory session. It’s a hands on workshop where you’ll work with different architectural styles, understand the trade offs behind each approach, learn how to document architectural decisions, and discover how to keep your architecture from drifting over time. And there’s hardly anyone better to learn this from. Steve has taught software architecture to thousands of developers through Pluralsight and Dometrain , is a Microsoft MVP, and has spent years helping development teams build better software and reduce technical debt. If you’re serious about designing software that lasts, this is a workshop you don’t want to miss.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 GitHub Copilot can do much more than suggest your next line of code. In From TODO to Ta-Da: Agentic Engineering on GitHub, you’ll learn how to use AI agents to research, plan, collaborate across sessions, automate repetitive work, and support your development workflow from start to finish. Even better, you’ll be learning directly from Colin Dembovsky and Joshua Johanning, both part of the GitHub team. If you want to understand where GitHub Copilot is heading and how to use it effectively, there are few better people to learn from. If you’re working with AI, GitHub Copilot, or modern software development, this is a workshop you don’t want to miss. Join us at Techorama and learn from the people helping shape the future of AI assisted development.
