The Dutch are known as pioneers and travellers, but also as people who speak their minds and who are very open to other cultures. The Netherlands does not only have an open economy, it is an open and internationally oriented country in itself. By organizing this conference me and my team intend to share this pioneering drive with you and to inspire you with the leadership roles and visions we heave in many fields of industry and society. For after all: everything boils down to how we make connections. And the way in which we make connections is influenced by our Dutch roots, something you will experience from first hand at this conference.

People learn through communication; through connections with others. For young engineers these opportunities reach far behind the borders of their countries. What better way to connect all of these themes at one conference?

Communication is key for cooperation and change,  communication serves to connect us with the rest of the world.  So what better way to stimulate the communication, then with a conference on connecting engineering and people.
