ARIS Belux User Group
Europe/Brussels
Add to calendar:
Dear ARIS Community,
We are delighted to invite you to the next ARIS BeLux User Group, taking place on 25 September 2026 at BE Central, in the heart of Brussels.
One question drives this year's agenda: what does it actually take to move from process design to operational reality? We have gathered practitioners from SNCB, Viterra and iMendos who have worked through this at scale — to share what worked, what didn't, and what comes next with AI and platform evolution.
Whether you are an ARIS user, an enterprise architect, a process owner, an iMendos customer, or simply curious to discover more, this event is a unique opportunity to:
Connect with peers and practitioners across Belgium & Luxembourg during networking moments over breakfast & lunch.
Learn from real implementations, including how SNCB structures process management across a complex, safety-critical organisation, and how Viterra carries architecture intent from ARIS design through to ServiceNow operations.
Explore what AI genuinely delivers once processes are structured and data governed — and what is coming next on the ARIS roadmap.
As always, we will start welcoming you with breakfast from 8:30, before the presentations begin at 9:00. After the sessions, you are warmly invited to stay for a networking lunch.
For those of you who are further away, the event will also be available via online broadcast upon registration (information will be sent to registered persons).
We look forward to seeing you there!
