DECISION 2026: Time to choose
Our annual flagship event is back. On May 12, 2026, we're bringing together more than 100 decision-makers in Finance, Data and IT at Fort 1881, Hoek van Holland.
The world is changing faster than organisations can decide. New AI technologies are making an impact in weeks where it used to take months. The range of tools, platforms and possibilities is growing explosively. Geopolitical tensions are pushing Europe to become more technologically self-reliant.
Organisations are being forced to rethink what they depend on. And more importantly: where they invest.
Yet you still have to choose. Even when you know you’ll never have all the information and can never oversee every option. How do you do that well?
That’s exactly what we’ll work on at DECISION 2026.
What’s on the program?
Wietse Hage: Podcaster
Wietse is the technical brain behind the AI Podcast that he creates with Alexander Klöpping. He follows developments in AI and technology closely and knows better than anyone what’s coming up in this area. So we’re going to make use of that.
Break-out sessions: Tailored to your role, about your choices
Sessions tailored to Finance, Data and IT. Real-world cases from our consultants and partners who work on the frontline of data, automation and AI.
Vena and TimeXtender are well ahead on this and will each host a breakout session.
Vena is the only agentic AI-powered FP&A platform built entirely for Microsoft, with AI agents running directly in Excel and Teams. In their session, they’ll show what that means for faster, better-informed decisions across finance, planning and operations.
TimeXtender automates data integration and quality within Microsoft Fabric. With their recently launched MCP server endpoint, AI agents work directly on your governed data. Their session shows how you build the right data foundation for that.
So alongside the keynotes, you also walk away with expertise specific to your role. Handy at the coffee machine the next morning.
Ray Klaassens: High Pressure Decision Making
The Netherlands’ most renowned special forces operator and successful entrepreneur. Ray knows how to make decisions when information is incomplete and the stakes are high, and shares his experiences with us.
Drinks
We close out the day on the beach. After an afternoon of heavy lifting, you need a moment to let it all sink in. And to catch up with peers and familiar faces.
Is DECISION 2026 for you?
- Are you facing choices about data, AI and technology this year that will shape your organisation for the next two or three years?
- Are developments moving so fast that it sometimes feels like you’re deciding with incomplete information?
- Do you want to set clear priorities and make sure decisions don’t get stuck in plans, but are actually carried out?
Then this afternoon is for you.
