ITQonnect Days & ITQon! 2026

Through a series of conversations, I realised how unaware I was of what women experience in IT and other male-dominated environments.

That insight triggered me to listen more. After several one-on-one conversations with women at ITQ, I discovered perspectives I simply hadn’t seen or understood before.

In this session, I share what I learned, what surprised me and what it could mean for us at ITQ.

No theory. Just real stories, honest reflection and potential starting points for how we can make a difference.

Update on the Omnissa Platform and the Solutions within, plus a look into what's coming and key take aways for  ITQ as an Omnissa Partner.

In this short talk I'll show a small agent implementation and demystify the word "agent" from a technical angle.

There will be code, but there will also be thorough explanations!

We have seen or been there: an afternoon of vibecoding and you've got an app with an AI feature that actually impresses people. Then the real questions start. Where does the model run, and is it allowed to see that data? How does it reach our tools? Who stops it from saying something embarrassing to a customer? The one-day demo quietly turns into a quarter of platform work — while AI itself moves on weekly.

The ITQ AI Use Case Factory is built for that exact moment: the plumbing (models, tool access, retrieval, guardrails) solved once, on private infrastructure, so an app with Private AI features goes from laptop to production in a day, not a quarter. Internally first, then at our customers.

This talk is for you if you:

• build or vibecode apps and want your AI feature hosted, secured and used by real people — not stuck on your laptop
• sell, and keep hearing "great PoC, but how do we get this into production?"
• lead a team or the business and want a concrete picture of where AI at ITQ is heading

I will open the hood for an honest tour: what's inside, what we dropped, and what we'd build differently.

I want to talk about the differences between traditional (VMware) and cloud-native (Kubevirt) virtualization. In doing so, I want to show the WoW, the skills, the use case, and possibly the actual implementation. I especially want to give our VMware people a behind-the-scenes look, as this is often still a blind spot.

This is not a session to convince people of KubeVirt, but primarily to show how cool it is in a Cloud-Native environment.
