From June 19 to 23, the 14th edition of the International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC) took place in Waterloo, Canada. Marinus, one of Zooma's developers, had the honor of presenting his graduation thesis here. A great experience, of course!

TMSQR, the festival app platform that Zooma has been building for years, is the top spot in both the App Store and the Play Store! Nice second spot. Spotify, get ready because we're coming for you! ;-)

Once again this year, computer science study association Syntax is organizing their annual charity gaming event from our office The Dorus. This year all the money raised will go to the Food Bank. Nice!

In 2020, Zooma obtained the coveted ISO27001 certificate; the objective and independent proof that an organization can show that it is serious and structural about information security. Quite a task but very valuable and important. Since then we have been re-audited every year by DNV auditors. And this year again successfully, fine!

Zooma works closely with some of the finest and oldest student associations in the Netherlands. The future-proof digital platforms we build for Minerva, Delft Studenten Corps, Vindicat, UVSV and Albertus Magnus, among others, form the digital centerpiece of the associations. Great fun!

We are making our De Dorus office building more sustainable step by step. After we replaced all the lights in the building with smart LED lighting in 2022, the first 81 panels were finally installed and connected this week. Bring on the sun!

After two poor festival years, we finally got to go again; to ESNS! The music industry fair of Europe with accompanying festival. Zooma has been building the music tech startup TimeSquare for years and thus a perfect excuse to travel to Groningen with our almost complete team.

Since June this year, Zooma has been busy developing the new native iOS and Android apps for student organization Vindicat. Now, 3 development sprints later, there are two beautiful apps live that are used very much by the many members of Vindicat. The entire platform is solid, secure and future-proof. View the case study here.

Back in August, we announced that our coworking building De Dorus will be expanding into our neighbor's building. We call it 'The Mees'. There will be an additional 1100m2 of office and workspace! See below the first sketches of the two buildings together...it's going to be very cool! More space to make beautiful things with our partners and customers!

Zooma was Popronde stage again this year. For the fourth time already! Every year a number of upcoming bands play in our office. In cooperation with the sound engineer of Studio336 and all De Dorus coworkers, the café of De Dorus was transformed into a professional pop stage. Tastes like more, next year version 2.0 :-)
