Celebrate 15 Years of IIBA Brussels Chapter

🎉 15 Years of IIBA Brussels Chapter: Brewing Business Value We invite you to come join our anniversary event centered around our theme: “Brewing Business Value". Just like brewing, creating business value is a thoughtful and evolving process. It requires the right ingredients, experience, and continuous refinement. During this event, we will explore how business analysts in Belgium the past 15 years contributed to shaping and delivering value in today’s organisations. We will also have two workshops, one about technology and one about humans: a lean coffee and knowledge sharing about how we really use AI agents in our day-to-day, and a workshop on using the right words during analysis ("BA linguistics").

IIBA Brussels Chapter proudly celebrates 15 years of building a strong Business Analysis community. To mark this milestone, we invite you to join a unique event centered around our theme: “Brewing Business Value.”
