Part 1: Bridging a gap at DISA

DISA was founded to bridge a gap. A gap in one of the most critical processes in the Netherlands: identifying and screening every asylum seeker entering the country. They started from zero, with nothing but paper forms and urgency. That paper process needed to become digital, fast. That's where Mendix came in. But how do you turn something so unpredictable into a reliable workflow application? Every asylum seeker brings a different story, different documents, and different needs. The workflow needed guardrails, but also freedom.

Add to that a UX challenge: newly hired staff, many with limited computer experience, had to use this every single day. And behind the scenes, integrating with the national immigration partner chain, each with their own systems, on-premise, across multiple servers, turned every connection into a technical puzzle.

Come hear how we built a Mendix application that is structured enough to be trusted, flexible enough to be useful, and simple enough for anyone to use.


Part2: AI & security, a hands-on session exploiting prompt injection

Generative AI is everywhere – and yes, you’re probably already using it. But once you start embedding AI into your applications, things get tricky. Traditional security concepts like role‑based access control don’t map neatly onto prompts.

In this session, we’ll put theory aside and get practical. Put on your white‑hat hacker mindset and try to outsmart our Mendix AI agents. Can you trick them into revealing information they shouldn’t?

Together, we’ll explore where AI security breaks down, why protection against prompt injection is harder than it looks, and what this means for Mendix developers building AI-powered applications.


Dinner

Two diner options are being served from 17:45 - 18:45h. Both options are also available as vegetarian options.
