We’re no longer dreaming about the future we’re living it 🔮
Yesterday I attended Rockstars Valley 2025, the leading tech event in the Netherlands by Team Rockstars IT.
The theme? Ahead of the Game.
And of course… hosted in the iconic Johan Cruijff ArenA. So yes, I did some shopping first 👕
What. An. Event.
More than 650 CIOs, CTOs, and tech specialists gathered. And honestly? I couldn’t keep up with everything. But wow the inspiration was real.
We heard from speakers like Simone van Erp, Ruud Gullit, Karin van der Wekke, and Ruurd Dam. Unsurprisingly, almost everything revolved around AI.
🧠 How do you stay relevant as a tech expert in a world where AI moves so fast?
🛡️ How do we protect ourselves from hackers, deepfakes, and AI-generated calls where you think you’re speaking to a person but it’s really just an algorithm?
Simone put it beautifully:
“We shouldn’t focus on where AI can take us, but where we want it to take us.”
It’s exciting. Impressive. And yes a little bit scary.
Because let’s be honest: the stuff they made movies about ten years ago?
We’re actually living it now.
Black Mirror isn’t just on your screen anymore it’s in your home and at your workplace.
Karin gave an inspiring session on the Cloud why Private Cloud is gaining ground again, and why there’s still great potential in Public Cloud.
And the Rockstars Scan? Too much to mention, and way too interesting to miss.
I loved every minute of it. 🙌
Team Rockstars IT, thanks for the incredible event — this was top-tier.
See you next year!
