Policy first, or just start?
Charlotte Meindersma and Geert Menting on the AI choice every organisation is stuck on right now.
Half an hour with two people who see it differently. The last ten minutes are for your questions.
8 September 2026 · 16:00 CEST · online
Free, online and over in half an hour.
What this is about
No slides, no sales pitch.
Organisations feel the pressure to do something with AI. But where do you start? With the policy, or with the first use case? Charlotte and Geert look at it from two sides, and they do not always agree.
From execution
Geert Menting
Operating models, European AI platforms and solutions you still use a year from now. Geert looks at what works once the hype fades.
Where those two worlds meet, and where they grate, that is the conversation they have live. With examples from their own work.
The format
Thirty minutes, and ten of them are yours
A short, open conversation that does not drag.
20 min

Charlotte and Geert on the choices you face now. Two honest opinions, and the points where law and execution collide.
