Agenda

Hackathon AI: from idea to concept
You probably have a list of things where you think: ‘Can’t this be easier?' Or: 'Shouldn’t AI help with this?' But between that idea and execution lies a world of uncertainty. How do you build it? Is it safe? And will it actually work?
During this two-day hackathon, we bring AI out of the realm of vagueness and endless possibilities. Together with you, we make it concrete.

The DEN: Conscious with AI Tour - East Netherlands - with Cultuur Oost
“You have to do ‘something’ with it!”, “It goes against our core values!”, “It’s the answer to all your questions!”. Opinions about AI are flying everywhere. But how do you, as a cultural organization, decide what suits you? And how do you make conscious choices regarding sustainability, copyrights, and privacy?
After last year's success, DEN is once again touring the country this year with the Conscious with AI Tour. In various regions, we will engage in conversations with regional partners and cultural professionals about the opportunities énd challenges surrounding AI.

Workshop: 'Change Management for Digital Projects'
You are working on implementing digital projects and innovations, but how do you engage your colleagues in this process? Not everyone naturally adapts. Why is this, and how can you ensure your team becomes as enthusiastic as you are? In this workshop, you will learn from past changes and work hands-on to gain control over the change you want to achieve.

Workshop cybersecurity: create an incident and recovery plan
What if something goes wrong? Cybersecurity is no longer just about prevention but about being prepared. A phishing email, data breach, or system failure can have a significant impact on your organization, from the loss of public data to halted services.
Therefore, it is wise to create an incident and recovery plan. This outlines how you prepare for a potential cyber incident, how you respond to it, and how you recover from it. A good incident and recovery plan ensures that you don't have to improvise but can act quickly and systematically to limit damage and speed up recovery.

Workshop: AI for the cultural sector - the next step
You might already use AI to draft an email or quickly jot down some ideas. That's a great start. But at the same time, you’ve probably noticed: it often remains fragmented. You type a prompt, get a result, and then still spend time adjusting, verifying, or copying it into other systems.
How do you ensure that AI is no longer a standalone action but becomes a structural part of your workflow? That it helps you not only in thinking but also in doing?

Online workshop: Get an overview of your systems and data (incl. IT advice)
Every cultural organization works with a growing number of digital tools: from Excel and planning software to ticketing and CRM systems. But often, there is a lack of overview. Who uses what, for what purpose, and how are systems and data interconnected?
This lack of insight costs time and money and poses risks — such as duplicate work, unclear data storage, or vulnerabilities around privacy and cybersecurity. In this workshop, you will gain control over your systems and data, allowing you to work smarter and make better choices.
Workshop: Impact Thinking and Measuring
You want to make an impact as an organization. But what change do you actually want to achieve? For whom? And how do you know if your approach contributes to that?
In this one-day workshop, you will practically work on impact thinking and measuring. Using your own projects, programs, or activities, you will explore what change you want to achieve and how to make it visible.

Region SOUTH-WEST - Workshop 'Conscious with AI' - with Cultuurkwadraat
“You have to do ‘something’ with it!”, “It goes against our core values!”, “It’s the answer to all your questions!”. Opinions about AI are flying around. But you’re not yet sure where you stand. After the workshop 'Conscious with AI', you’ll have the tools to make conscious, responsible choices yourself - fitting your organization and values.

Online workshop: Cybersecurity in the cultural sector
Do you work in a museum, theater, heritage institution, festival, or other cultural organization? Then you know how dependent you are on digital systems. Think of ticketing, audience data, CRM, and digital collections.
But what if your organization faces phishing, ransomware, or a data breach? Cyberattacks are becoming more common, even in the cultural sector. Learn in this practical online workshop how to make your organization digitally resilient. In two hours, you’ll work through four clear steps to create an action plan for a secure digital foundation.
