Cloud & Code Oost is a new meetup for developers, DevOps engineers, cloud engineers and other IT professionals in the eastern part of the Netherlands.

The meetup is hosted by Sander ten Brinke and Hans Muns. It's sponsored by IT companies in the eastern part of The Netherlands that share the same passion as the hosts, which means sharing and caring for the community! Each edition takes place at a different sponsor's office.

We focus primarily on the Microsoft ecosystem — including .NET, Azure and related technologies — but we also look beyond Microsoft. AI, software development, architecture, DevOps, cloud infrastructure and other relevant technology topics are all welcome.

We manage attendees and event registrations via Luma.

Currently there's only 1 date planned on Sessionize. We aim to host 3-4 meetups per year, the next one somewhere in February 2027.

Default Evening schedule (Depends on sponsor)

17:30 – 18:30 – Dinner
18:30 – Welcome
18:40 – 20:25 – Two talks, with a break in between
20:25 – 22:00 – Networking

Who is the audience?

Our audience will include developers, DevOps engineers, cloud engineers and other IT professionals, as well as students and hobbyists.

Some attendees may be just starting their careers, while others may have many years of experience. Talks can therefore range from introductory and hands-on sessions to deeper technical dives.

Talks are in Dutch by default. If a speaker prefers English, or the audience calls for it, we can switch to English.

New to speaking?

That's absolutely fine.

We're not only looking for experienced conference speakers. We'd also like to give people who have little or no stage experience an opportunity to share something they're passionate about.

You don't need a polished conference talk. If you have an interesting topic, project, technical challenge or lesson learned, get in touch. We can help you shape the idea into a talk.

Interested?

Send us a short description of your proposed talk, along with a little information about yourself.

You don't need to have everything figured out yet. A rough idea is enough to start a conversation.

Come share what you've learned, meet other people in tech, and help us build a strong developer community in the east of the Netherlands.

We'd love to hear from you!
