Here you’ll find most events, (un)conferences and meetups which I’ll be attending, facilitating, presenting at, organizing, etc. All the things listed here somehow fund the superpower I use in my daily job. That could be leadership and self-organization skills I gained as a KampTwee summer camp coach, or getting inspiration for Serious Games at the biggest board game fair in the world; SPIEL. I look forward to see you at one of the events below so we can share ideas on how to make the (working) world a better place!

If you’re interested to have me; my core speaking & workshop topics include self-organization experiments, culture building and serious games. Around the last one Eddy Bruin & I offer half or full day tutorials as The Serious Gamers.
