Before the Living Documentation Event opens its doors on 5 March 2027, we are bringing part of the programme to the ICT Knowledge Hub.

With LDE still several months away, we want to offer enthusiasts an early preview of the Living Documentation Event. Consider this evening a low-stakes introduction to both the kinds of subjects you can expect at LDE and the people behind them.

Because this preview takes place well in advance, there is also real room for conversation. We invited our speakers to use this opportunity to experiment, try things out and further sharpen their stories. Your questions, perspectives and experiences can genuinely help them shape their sessions for the main stage, whether you join the discussion during the presentations themselves or continue the conversation afterwards over a drink.

You do not need to be an expert in Living Documentation or BDD. Curiosity and a willingness to join the conversation are enough.

So please: come get an early taste of the Living Documentation Event, meet some of the speakers long before the conference itself and spend an evening exchanging ideas with fellow software professionals. The following themes will be covered:

Three previews from the LDE programme

Robert Deckers – Model Based Gherkin: Bringing Structure and Consistency to Large-Scale BDD

Anyone who has worked with Gherkin will know the challenges of keeping terminology consistent across teams and over time. Robert will speak on a model-based approach that helps teams to write concise and valuable scenarios in a way that actually scales.

Rick Tracy – From Ticket Hell to Team Flow: Creating Actionable Documentation

Tickets are meant to help teams organise their work, but they can easily become fragmented records that provide little context or shared understanding. Rick will explore how to turn documentation into a driver of team flow, rather than the umpteenth administrative burden.

Kyra Hameleers – Beyond the Hype: How Can BDD, MBT and AI Complement Each Other?

BDD, Model-Based Testing and AI have all been presented as transformative approaches to software quality. Kyra will look past the promises to examine the strengths and weaknesses of AI and how they can be leveraged (or avoided) in BDD and MBT contexts.

ICT Knowledge Hub

ICT Knowledge Hub is the collective name for a series of interactive theme evenings where we dive into the depths of modern system development together. From Living Documentation to testing, from requirements to Domain-Driven Design: each event offers inspiration, practical experiences and directly applicable tools.

The evenings are meant for professionals who want to learn, reflect and connect, whether you are a developer, analyst, tester, product owner or researcher. Together, we build a community of like-minded people who are curious about better collaboration, smarter approaches and sustainable solutions. We invite speakers from the field as well as from academia, and offer space to anyone with something valuable to share.

Come and listen, join the discussion, and learn together from each other's practice and perspective.
