Recap: Veeam BeLux User Group Meeting June 25th) 🇧🇪🇱🇺

 

The Veeam Belgium & Luxembourg community gathered for an incredible half day of networking, technical deep dives, and collaboration.

Whether you joined us to sharpen your data protection skills or simply to talk shop with fellow IT professionals, it was fantastic seeing our local community vibe together. Here is a quick look back at how it went.

💡 Event Highlights & Insights

 

Between the interactive presentations and the casual chats, the day was packed with value, we talked about the more than 70 changes, improvements and new features in the upcoming V13.1 release and building resilient Veeam architectures across hypervisor.s 

  • Knowledge Sharing at Its Best: We had a wealth of interesting discussions and deep insights passing between end-customers and partners alike. From real-world architectural strategies to the latest recovery best practices, everyone walked away with something new.

  • The Perfect Mix of Faces: It was wonderful to catch up with our dedicated "members from the first hour" who have been building this community since day one. At the same time, we were thrilled to welcome a brilliant group of new attendants joining the circle for the first time.

  • Beating the Summer Heat: It might have been scorching hot outside, but inside the venue, the atmosphere (and the air conditioning!) was perfectly cool, keeping us fresh and focused on the tech.

🤝 A shoutout to Arrow!

Indeed ​@kristofpoppe , we did it again during our busy scheduled calendar to give our Veeam enthousiasts some insights in the best backup product 🤣.

Also my big thank you to Arrow for sponsoring this event.

@smarivoet : thx again for joining us from part 2 😎🤗

The next physical event will be probably in November, after the Veeam 100 summit in Lisbon 😎.

@Madi.Cristil it’s just cold tomato-soup… why would you think it is something else :-)

guys, let’s make an awesome agenda for november and get some new folks around the table.

It was mentioned as a funny remark, but the concept might not be a terrible idea… “bring a friend”-session :-)
