[DATAGOV Core] Invitation to DATAGOV Kick-off Event on March 27, 2026 (Amsterdam)

[Stefania Milan]

Hello, adding my two cents.

In "The kick-off will feature keynotes, workshops, and a 
borrel"... let's get rid of "workshops" too... Maybe we can say "The 
event will feature keynote presentations and conversations, and a borrel"

for the industry, we have Rob (kinda), so i would let that in.

for the arts, we have Federico and Mariette.. although no one from the 
speakers' group.
