Ministry of Testing Netherlands – Chapter Meeting Recap

20 Feb 2026

There isn’t a big story behind it. It’s simply a snapshot of the atmosphere at our MoT‑NL chapter meeting last night (February 19th). We had a packed venue, great talks, lots of lively conversations, and the kind of community vibe that makes me proud to be the chapterlead, being able to bring all of these nice people together.
What a night!

We packed the place, the kind of full house where the buzz starts long before the first talk kicks off. The food was spot‑on, the talks hit that sweet mix of smart and practical, and the in‑between conversations were every bit as good as the sessions themselves.

There was curiosity, laughter, sharp insights, plenty of openness, and even a few Jedi mind tricks for good measure. And of course, the holy trinity of any proper MoT‑NL gathering: nootjes, worst en kaas.

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, shared stories, asked bold questions, challenged assumptions, and connected with new faces. Nights like this are exactly why this community keeps growing stronger.

This is ace, nice work René and the MoT Netherlands Chapter. 🤩 Also, after looking it up, I do like the sound of nootjes, worst en kaas.

The nootjes, worst en kaas were amazing, but the true highlight for me on the food was the kaneelstokjes!
