DELTA ALUMNI event
Price: € 25 (drinks and light bites will be served)
About the event
DELTA brings together alumni of Antwerp Management School around one shared ambition: strengthening the bridge between business and IT. This first alumni event marks the start of a broader community. No niche focus, but an open network where architects, IT professionals and business leaders meet, inspire and challenge each other.
With this event, we aim to create connections between different profiles and communities, exchange knowledge and experiences at the intersection of business and technology, and lay the foundation for a sustainable and growing alumni community.
The DELTA committee consists of: Steven De Haes, Arnella Doslic, Petra Champagne, Jonas De Jonge, Tim Vandael, Alain Verheydt and Serge Van Nimwegen.
Theme: Resilience as a connecting force
In a world of constant change, resilience is crucial. But true resilience only emerges when business and IT understand and reinforce each other. During this event we explore how organizations can become and stay resilient, how IT architecture and business strategy influence each other, and how collaboration between different profiles leads to better decisions.
Keynotes
Chris Franskin
CIO DKV
For a CIO, resilience is no longer a purely technical matter. It is a leadership mandate. In this keynote, Chris shares how to translate resilience into business language: from risk exposure and financial impact to strategic advantage. With practical insights on leadership, organisation and key enablers to build resilience that truly holds under pressure.
Jonas Van Riel

Resilience starts with visibility. Jonas shows how Enterprise and Business Architecture help organisations understand what they have, identify what is critical, and decide where to act first. A practical look at architecture as the foundation for resilience.
