Van Haren Group at the BIAN Banking Summit Chicago: From Architecture to Implementation

Van Haren Group recently participated in the BIAN Banking Summit in Chicago, an event that marked an important milestone in the evolution of BIAN education, from architectural principles to real-world implementation.

The summit provided a valuable opportunity to meet in person with partners and stakeholders after a year of close collaboration. Together, these efforts resulted in the successful launch of multiple BIAN Practitioner courses (read more here) as well as the BIAN Foundation e-learning, all of which officially went live around the time of the event.

Van Haren Group would like to extend its sincere thanks to Hans Tesselaar, Steve Van Wyk, and the BIAN Board for their continued trust and collaboration in developing and expanding the BIAN architecture learning ecosystem.

A special acknowledgement goes to our Accredited Education Partners: Rizwana C., Nishan Jebanasam, Patrick Derde, Laleh Rafati, Fran Gómez, and Gabriel Layerenza, whose dedication and expertise over the past year were instrumental in the creation of these courses. Their work culminated in the official launch of the new BIAN education offerings during the summit.

We also warmly thank Yvonne B. and Arnab Mitra for the many enjoyable moments shared during the event, as well as the entire BIAN Banking Summit event team for organizing a successful and inspiring gathering.

The Chicago summit reinforced the strong collaboration within the BIAN community and highlighted the growing momentum behind high-quality, practical education in banking architecture.
