# The MoaCM ... which sounds a bit like Mokum (nickname for Amsterdam).
 
Every tester knows there’s always more going on beneath the surface: the unspoken questions, the unexpected discoveries, the “wait… what just happened?” moments that shape our craft. Our next chapter meeting leans right into that spirit. We’re pulling back the curtain on the things we don’t always talk about, the stories that don’t make the slides, and the hidden agendas that quietly steer our testing journeys.
 
We offer you an evening full of curiosity, connection, and a few delightful surprises. Two awesome speakers will take the stage with talks crafted especially for this event.
 
Sorry, no spoilers, but trust me, you will want to be in the room when they drop their insights. Add great food, lightning talks, stroopwafels, and the kind of hallway conversations that only happen at Ministry of Testing gatherings, and you’ve got yourself a night worth marking in bold on your calendar.
 
PROGRAM:

17:00 – Arrival & Grabbing a Seat
Ease in, find your spot, and enjoy your complimentary stroopwafel. Consider it the warm‑up round for your brain.
 
17:20 – Opening Remarks
A quick kickoff to set the tone and spark your curiosity.
 
17:30 – Talk 1: Sanne Visser
The Wheel is spinning but the Hamster is stuck.
(Knowing Sanne, expect something sharp, thoughtful, and delightfully unexpected).
 
18:30 – Dinner
Fuel up with good food, because even testers need to keep their internal combustion engines running smoothly.
 
19:30 – Talk 2: Veerle Verhagen
tba… (And yes, Veerle will absolutely bring her ever-present energy, brilliant insight, and probably a twist we will not see coming).
 
20:30 – Closing & Lightning Talks
A few final thoughts from your chapter lead, followed by the community taking the mic. Share an idea, pitch a question, or drop a testing gem … lightning‑style.
 
Followed by – Networking Drinks
Stay, chat, unwind, and connect. No fixed end time; we leave when the energy fades or the building politely tells us it’s time to go.
