Generative AI is advancing rapidly, with tools like ChatGPT and Copilot becoming increasingly available. But how do you ensure AI is used responsibly and efficiently within your organisation? And what happens if you don’t? In this session, Tim ter Haar and Axel Brox, Software Solution Consultants at Bechtle, walk you through the essentials—from defining clear policies and ensuring data governance to preventing misuse. They’ll also highlight the latest developments in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Copilot Agents.
 

      

What makes a physical workspace not only efficient and productive but also a great place to work? In this session, Thijs Groen, Workspace Solution Consultant at Bechtle, and Gijs van der Putten challenge conventional thinking with bold ideas. They’ll discuss how well-designed workspaces improve employee satisfaction and productivity, the importance of personas in workspace planning, and how to match workspaces to different needs. The session will also cover practical aspects of rolling out new devices—from project planning and delivery (home addresses vs. office distribution points) to CMDB, asset tagging, and MDM integration. Finally, Thijs will share practical tips on installation, management, and smart solutions like cable management and seamless device onboarding.   
 

      

The way we work is changing, and with the growing trend of returning to the office, the demand for hybrid meeting spaces is growing. A key challenge is ensuring seamless communication between remote and office-based employees. In this session, Onno Janssen, AV Consultant at Bechtle, and Kees Janssen, Team Lead ITS Hardware Solutions Front-end at Bechtle, explore how technology can enhance collaboration. They’ll demonstrate how smart AV solutions contribute to more productive meetings and discuss the sustainability and cost-saving benefits of hybrid working.
 

Building on the first session’s discussion on personas and employee needs, this session shifts focus to the backend of workspace management. Michel de Jonge, Teamlead Technical Experts at ARP, and Ronald Bevers, Principal Consultant at PQR, explain how Mobile Device Management (MDM) helps organisations manage and secure devices effectively. You’ll also learn how different MDM solutions can be integrated and combined for a more comprehensive approach—such as linking multiple platforms. For IT professionals, we take a deeper dive into topics like mobile application management and endpoint analytics, exploring real-world scenarios, practical examples, and in-depth technical insights.

Connection is the key to success—both in business and in life. As the Netherlands’ only ‘connectionist’, Georges Hilaul will reveal how we create genuine, meaningful connections—with ourselves, our colleagues, and our customers. Using an engaging mix of psychology, illusion, and interactive storytelling, he will demonstrate how connection is built and what happens when we really open our minds to it. This inspiring and unforgettable experience will transform the way you think about collaboration, communication, and the power of human interaction.
