Bol’s 25th anniversary was a blast! What an awesome mix of strategic insights, inspiration and an epic party. 🥳

The b.day kicked off with short talks about our history, strategy, the near future and the evolution of our beloved mascot Billie! 💙

Next up, breakout sessions! Steven Van Belleghem inspired us with his insights on the age of AI. Customers are turning to machines not just for help, but for decision-making too. He shared some fascinating (and slightly disturbing) examples of AI-powered tech. 🤖

After that, we attended an interactive (and hilarious) workshop with Boom Chicago, the improv comedy club from Amsterdam. Andrew Moskos and Pep Rosenfeld had us cracking up while teaching us the art of storytelling in a moving and humoristic way. Time to dial up the energy and ditch the awkward sway to make my presentations truly captivating. 😄

Then it was bumble bee time! My team proudly donned our 🐝 costumes, and we feasted on delicious food and drinks before the main event. A marching band guided everyone back to the main stage, where the party erupted with dazzling pole dancers 👯‍♀️, pyrotechnic 🔥 and electrifying music 🎶.

The headliner was De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, but after an amazing day, exhaustion caught up to me and I had to bee-line 😏 for the train home.
