On the 9th March 2026, the London Excel Meetup will have a live event in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Session details Melissa de Korte will be presenting at the event on 'The Magic of Records in M'.

Think you know M? Think again. Tables usually take centre stage, but Records are where much of the magic happens. In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on why Records matter and how they are key to developing cleaner, and more resilient queries. Expect to walk away with a fresh perspective, a deeper appreciation for Records, and inspired to try them out yourself. You’ll be surprised just how much of an impact something so simple can have!

Meetup details Before and after the presentation, there will be lots of opportunity to network. As is usual with these LEM on Tour events, it is intentionally booked for the Monday, so that those travelling can enjoy a weekend in the fabulous city of Amsterdam.

This event is live and in-person only. It will not be recorded.

Sponsor and host The event is kindly hosted by PerfectXL. They have a venue right beside Dam Square making it perfect 🤭

Who are PerfectXL? PerfectXL provide products to help users with:

• Excel quality control & risk management
• Build consistent & predictable models
• Spreadsheet version management
• Model insights, documentation & reporting

We discuss a different research paper every week. We post each week's paper in our GitHub repo - please read it before the meetup.

Details Level up your Kotlin skills: join our meetup!

Meetup details When: Thursday 26th February 2026 Walk-in: 5.30 PM (including some food) Start time: 6.00PM - 8.30 PM Where: HQ Ahold Delhaize, Zaandam

What to expect? We have a few engaging talks lined up:

1. Better Together: Kotlin\, IntelliJ\, Spring 7.0 and Debugging Vladimir Dolzhenko - Team Lead / JetBrains

Talk highlights some practical aspects of Spring Debugger and upcoming release of Spring 7.0 and better Kotlin support in it.

2. Stove: A Different Approach to E2E/Component Testing with Kotlin Oğuzhan Soykan - Staff Engineer / Trendyol Group

Stove explores how the testing experience on the JVM can be improved by unifying assertions and the supporting infrastructure. In doing so, it creates a concise and expressive testing DSL by leveraging Kotlin’s unique language features. Stove has helped teams migrate from Java to Kotlin and from Spring Boot to Ktor, while keeping their existing test code intact. It empowers Kotlin teams to write clear assertions even for code that is traditionally hard to test.

3. Coroutines under the hood: how suspend actually suspends Kubilay Karpat - Software Consultant / Xebia

We use suspend functions regularly, but few of us stop to ask how they actually work. In this talk, we’ll follow the evolution from callbacks to reactive programming, and finally to Kotlin coroutines — showing how suspend brings async to the language level. We’ll peek under the hood to see how suspension really works, how Kotlin compiles suspend functions into state machines, and why this model scales so well. This talk is for anyone ready to uncover what truly makes Kotlin’s async feel so effortless and powerful.

4. Kotlin meets AI - vibing with Koog Yuri Dolzhenko - Staff Engineer / Albert Heijn

Meet Koog, the first Kotlin-native library designed to bring AI workflows, models, and reasoning capabilities directly into the Kotlin ecosystem.
