This is a continious Call for Sessions. Dutch Women in Tech has monthly community events at various partner locations in the Netherlands. If you are interested in speaking at one of our meetups, please submit your session(s) and state your availability. Our events usually are held on the second Tuesday of each month, but we depend on speaker and partner availability. The dates in the CfS are not set in stone. Check our Meetup page for scheduled events!

Together with other women in technology, we are committed to increasing the number of women in IT. Through our platform, we connect these women with each other. We do this by giving women in IT a stage, organizing events, and engaging in discussions about working in the IT industry.

The AWS DMV and Cleveland User Groups are soliciting speakers for our monthly events. We have a unique situation in that Cleveland is virtual and DMV is done IN PERSON at the AWS HQ2 offices. Past speakers have told us that they love being able to do the Cleveland talk first to get some feedback before doing their talk in person in DC. That is why we have combined this CFP. 

AWS User Groups are a place for AWS practitioners to increase their skills and network with their peers. Groups are run by volunteers and do not generate a profit. 

These User Groups are a great venue for new speakers as the community is interested in great content, not professional speakers. If you've done an interesting project on AWS or have an area of speciality, please submit your talk. 

PLEASE NOTE that you will need to get yourself to HQ2 for the in-person talk and that a lot of planning and sometimes money has gone into these events. If you commit to a date, we need you to show up and be prepared. 

The DMV User Group meets the 2nd Thursday of the month. The CLE User Group generally meets the 1st Thursday of the month, but has more flexibility since it's virtual. Dates are not available in months with industry conflicts (Jan = re:Invent re:Cap, June = AWS Summits & Midwest Community Day, Oct = DMV Community Day, Nov-Dec = re:Invent)

DEMOKRATIE in EUROPA

Hand aufs Herz: Wann hast du das letzte Mal darüber nachgedacht, dass du heute genau das sagen, tun und lassen konntest, was DU wolltest? Wir nehmen sie oft als gegeben hin, wie das WLAN in der Kaffeebar – aber die Demokratie ist kein Selbstläufer. Sie ist das Betriebssystem, auf dem unsere Freiheit läuft.

Weil wir finden, dass dieses System dringend mal wieder ein Update (und eine ordentliche Portion Wertschätzung) braucht, starten wir unsere neue Eventreihe FOCUS: Demokratie.

In gewohnter 12-Minuten-Manier bringen wir Expert*innen, Gestaltende und Visionär*innen auf die Bühne. Keine ausschweifenden Debatten, sondern Deep Dives mit Punch. Das erwartet euch:

FOCUS 1: Demokratie im Alltag 🏘️

Demokratie im Alltag zeigt sich nicht nur in Wahlen oder großen Debatten, sondern in den vielen kleinen Momenten, in denen wir mitentscheiden, Verantwortung übernehmen und einander zuhören: wenn wir respektvoll streiten, unterschiedliche Perspektiven aushalten, uns informieren statt vorschnell zu urteilen – und dort aktiv werden, wo wir leben und arbeiten. Sie lebt von Beteiligung, fairen Regeln und der Bereitschaft, Kompromisse zu finden, ohne die Würde anderer zu verletzen. Kurz: Demokratie ist eine Praxis, die wir täglich stärken können – durch Haltung, Dialog und konkretes Mitmachen.

FOCUS 2: Das Fundament: Was uns Demokratie in Europa eigentlich ermöglicht 🕊️

Wir werfen einen Blick auf das privilegierte Leben, das wir dank Demokratie führen können. Warum ist die Freiheit des Einzelnen der Motor für Innovation? Wir feiern das, was wir oft übersehen: Dass wir mitbestimmen, widersprechen und uns entfalten können. Demokratie ist nicht nur eine Regierungsform, sie ist unsere größte Chance.

FOCUS 3: Der EU-Reality Check: Medien, Bildung & Durchblick 🧠

In einer Welt voller Fake News und Filterblasen ist Medienkompetenz die wichtigste Währung. Wie bilden wir uns eine eigene Meinung, ohne im Algorithmus-Sumpf zu versinken? Wir diskutieren, warum Bildung das Fundament für eine wehrhafte Gesellschaft ist und wie wir lernen, Fakten von Fiktion zu trennen.

FOCUS 4: Let’s Get Loud, Europeans: Partizipation & die Gestaltenden von heute für morgen ✊

Demokratie ist kein Zuschauersport! Wir holen die Menschen und Initiativen ins Rampenlicht, die nicht nur meckern, sondern machen. Wer sind die Köpfe, die unsere Stadt, unser Land und unsere Gesellschaft aktiv mitgestalten? Lass dich inspirieren von Projekten, die zeigen: Deine Stimme zählt – auch außerhalb der Wahlkabine.

FOCUS 5: Persönlichkeit, Identität, Digitale Rechte und Souveränität in Europa ⚖️

In diesem Themenabend schauen wir darauf, wie Persönlichkeit im digitalen Raum entsteht – und was passiert, wenn Algorithmen, Plattformen und Datenökonomie unser Verhalten, unsere Aufmerksamkeit und sogar unsere Selbstwahrnehmung mitprägen. Wir sprechen über Identität und digitale Rechte als moderne Grundrechte: Datenschutz, Meinungsfreiheit, Schutz vor Überwachung und Diskriminierung durch automatisierte Entscheidungen. Und wir fragen, was europäische Souveränität konkret bedeutet: Welche Regeln, Technologien und Infrastrukturen braucht Europa, damit Menschen echte Kontrolle über ihre Daten und ihre digitale Identität behalten – und damit demokratische Werte auch online durchgesetzt werden können? Ziel ist ein klarer Blick darauf, wie wir in einer vernetzten Welt frei, sicher und handlungsfähig bleiben.

FOCUS 6: Miteinander made in Europe: Plattformen, Allianzen und Impact 🌐

Wir verbinden Menschen, Initiativen, Unternehmen und Institutionen über nationale Grenzen hinweg – nicht als lose Kontakte, sondern als verlässliche Partnerschaften mit Verantwortung für ein gemeinsames und inklusives Europa. Denn die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit lösen wir nur kooperativ: durch offene Plattformen, geteiltes Wissen und nachhaltige Allianzen, die Ressourcen bündeln und Wirkung messbar machen. Lass uns Räume schaffen, in denen Vielfalt zur Stärke wird, aus Ideen Zusammenarbeit entsteht und aus Zusammenarbeit echter gesellschaftlicher Impact – langfristig, europäisch, gemeinsam.

FOCUS 7: Utopie Europa. Was, wären wir mehr als Währungs- und Wirtschaftsunion…?!🔮

An diesem Abend darf das gesellschaftliche Europa im Weltkontext nicht nur diskutiert, sondern erträumt werden: als Raum, in dem Vielfalt nicht als Problem, sondern als Stärke wirkt, in dem Freiheit, Würde und Solidarität keine Schlagworte sind, sondern gelebte Praxis. Wir fragen, wie ein Europa aussehen kann, das über Grenzen hinweg Verantwortung übernimmt – gegenüber kommenden Generationen, gegenüber Menschen auf der Flucht, gegenüber einer digitalen Öffentlichkeit, die unsere Demokratie täglich herausfordert. Zwischen Vision und Wirklichkeit entsteht ein gemeinsamer Möglichkeitsraum: für neue Allianzen, mutige Ideen und die konkrete Frage, was jede einzelne Person beitragen kann, damit aus dem europäischen „Wir“ ein global wirksames „Wir kümmern uns“ wird.

• Data & AI Architecture: Designing robust foundations using Microsoft Fabric, modern data lakes, and advanced analytics.
• The Agentic Era: Building, orchestrating, and securing Autonomous AI Agents and intelligent Copilots.
• Cloud, Security & Governance: Implementing enterprise-grade solutions, hybrid architectures, and data governance with Microsoft Purview.
• Methodologies & Certifications: Preparing for strategic paths like TOGAF, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect, DevOps pipelines, and AI certifications.
• Real-world Case Studies: Lessons learned from deploying complex, production-ready AI and data platforms.

The event will feature a combination of practical learning, community-driven presentations, an expert keynote, a product/project showcase, and an interactive panel discussion.

Our goal is to create a diverse and engaging programme that allows attendees to learn practical skills, hear from experienced practitioners, discover new ideas, connect with the technical writing community, and explore how technical communication is evolving.

Workshop: The workshop will be a practical, focused session designed to allow attendees to learn a specific skill, approach, workflow, or concept in greater depth.

Speakers are encouraged to make the session practical and engaging, using demonstrations, examples, exercises, or real-world scenarios where appropriate. 

Duration: 30 minutes

Lightning Talks: The lightning talk session will consist of short, focused presentations from selected speakers.

These talks give speakers a chance to share a specific idea, experience, lesson, project, observation, or perspective without a full-length presentation.

Lightning talks should be concise, engaging, and centered around a clear takeaway for the audience. Speakers should use the limited time effectively and focus on communicating one strong idea rather than attempting to cover a broad subject.

Total session duration: 20 minutes

Keynote: The event will feature one keynote presentation delivered virtually by an invited speaker.

Duration: 30 minutes

Welcome to the Stockholm SQL Meetup! This group is for anyone with an interest in SQL Server and Azure Sql, whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or a seasoned pro wanting to discuss advanced topics.

Join us for informative presentations, hands-on workshops, and networking with fellow SQL Server enthusiasts. Whether you're a developer, analyst, DBA, or data scientist, this group is open to all who want to deepen their understanding and expertise in SQL Server and Azure SQL.

Organisers of Stockholm SQL are Magnus Ahlkvist and Daniel Hutmacher, both independent SQL Server consultants based in the Stockholm area.

Code of conduct

If you participate in Stockholm SQL, you must follow this simple code of conduct.

Be nice to people. This includes the speaker, the host/moderator and of course all the other attendees. Respect other people’s right to their own space. Don’t get in peoples face.

Understand that you can not and may not be the judge of anyone else’s feelings. If you do something that offends someone, even when that is not the purpose, don’t argue. Just back down. You may or may not understand what was going on, but Stockholm SQL is not meant for you to test limits.

See, that wasn’t so hard, was it? If you feel anyone is not respecting this very simple Code of Conduct, contact one of the organisers (Magnus and Daniel) – we want to keep SQL Friday clean from abuse.
