Exclusive preview of the future of SAFe
Every edition of Get Connected focuses on current developments, practical experience and valuable conversations with fellow professionals.
This edition is special.
For the first time in the Netherlands, you’ll get an exclusive preview of the future of SAFe.
Before the announcements are made official at the SAFe Summit in San Diego, Michele, Strategic Advisor at Scaled Agile, gives an exclusive preview during the keynote of the changes being announced within SAFe. During the Deep Dive SAFe Summit session, he then walks you through the thinking behind it, the key changes, and what these mean in practice.
One of the key topics is the introduction of Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) 2.0. During a dedicated knowledge session, we’ll go deeper into this and explore what these developments mean for portfolios, investment decisions and strategic direction.
So you won’t just be among the first to know about SAFe’s new direction, you’ll also get a clear picture of what these changes mean for your organisation.
Get Connected — what to expect
Exclusive insights
Be among the first to discover the latest developments in your field. During this edition, ahead of the official announcements at the SAFe Summit in San Diego, you’ll get an exclusive preview of the future of SAFe. During the Deep Dive SAFe Summit session, we’ll explore this further, with plenty of room for your questions.
Broad, practical depth
Get Connected is about more than one topic. Alongside the latest developments within SAFe, this edition includes a session on Team Topologies and a hands-on Claude workshop. Between sessions, you can join the Ask Me Anything sessions to discuss real-world challenges with experienced professionals.
A network beyond your own organisation
Valuable connections with fellow professionals and a network that keeps inspiring you long after the event. At the networking drinks, you’ll meet professionals from different organisations, share experiences, and often end up in the conversations you couldn’t have planned.
Learning from and with each other
Within the Community, we believe the best insights emerge when different perspectives come together. That’s why Get Connected isn’t just about listening, it’s about sharing experiences, asking questions and learning from each other’s practice.

Keynote Michele Lanzinger
First in the Netherlands to get insight into the future of SAFe and AI Native
Before the announcements are made official at the SAFe Summit in San Diego, Michele Lanzinger, Strategic Advisor at Scaled Agile, gives an exclusive preview at Get Connected of the key developments that will be presented worldwide later that month.
During this keynote, Michele will walk you through SAFe’s new direction and the role AI Native will play in it. What changes are being announced? Why are they being made? And most importantly: what do these developments mean for professionals, teams and organisations already working with SAFe today?
The keynote marks the start of this edition of Get Connected. During the knowledge sessions that follow, you’ll get the chance to explore the key topics in more depth, ask questions and discuss the impact on your own organisation.
Instead of reading about the announcements afterwards, at Get Connected you’ll be among the first to discover what’s coming and what it means for your organisation.
About Michele Lanzinger
Michele Lanzinger supports organisations worldwide with the implementation and continued development of SAFe and AI Native. In his role, he is closely involved in shaping SAFe’s strategic direction, and at Get Connected he’ll be among the first to share where the framework is heading.
Sessions at Get Connected
Deep Dive SAFe Summit
Speaker: Michele Lanzinger | Strategic Advisor | Scaled Agile
This session follows directly on from Michele’s keynote.
During the keynote, you’ll get an exclusive preview of the announcements that will be shared officially later this month at the SAFe Summit in San Diego. In this in-depth session, we’ll take things a step further.
Michele will walk you through the thinking behind the new developments within SAFe. Why are these changes being made? What challenges are they aiming to solve? And what do they mean for organisations already working with SAFe today?
Alongside the content, there’s plenty of room to ask questions and talk with Michele about the impact on your organisation.
Lean Portfolio Management 2.0
Speaker: Sebastiaan Zuiddam | Certified Profit Streams™ trainer
Following an initial introduction during our webinar on LPM 2.0, at Get Connected we’ll take a deeper look at the latest developments and where LPM 2.0 fits within SAFe’s future direction.
Lean Portfolio Management continues to evolve and will play an important role in SAFe’s new direction. During this session, you’ll discover why these changes are being made, their impact on portfolios, investment decisions and strategic direction, and how to apply these insights within your own organisation.
This session follows directly on from Michele’s keynote and shows how one of the key developments from the SAFe Summit translates into everyday practice.
Team Topologies
Speaker: João Rosa | Team Topologies Valued Practitioner
Many organisations invest in Agile but still struggle with dependencies between teams, unclear responsibilities and a heavy coordination burden.
During this session, João Rosa shows how Team Topologies helps teams organise more effectively, improve collaboration and deliver value faster. Drawing on real-world experience, you’ll discover how to translate the theory into practice within your own organisation.
You’ll leave with practical insights you can use straight away in conversations about team design, collaboration and organisational structure.
Claude Workshop
Expert: To be announced
AI only becomes valuable once you start using it yourself. That’s why we’ve organised this interactive workshop together with AI030, where you’ll discover how to use Claude effectively in your day-to-day work.
You’ll work on practical exercises, learn to write better prompts and experience how AI helps you reach better results faster. Whether you’re just starting out or already use AI regularly, you’ll leave with insights you can apply straight away.
Ask Me Anything sessions during the break
In the middle of a transformation? Running into resistance in your team? Dealing with other challenges? Not sure who’s accountable for what?
No topic is off limits in the Ask Me Anything session during the break. Bring your toughest question or your biggest concern — those are the ones that make for the most valuable conversations.
If we can’t give you a meaningful answer, you’ll receive a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates from us.
