WannaFlex Ping Pong Tournament: I Wanna Smash IT 2026 Recap
Our annual I Wanna Smash IT ping pong tournament brought the WannaFlex IT community together once again — and what an edition it was. This yearly IT networking event in Amsterdam keeps growing, and this time the competition level was higher than ever.
The atmosphere? Electric. The rallies? Intense. And yes — the prizes were as attractive as always.
After a series of exciting matches, it was ultimately Amber and Prashant who took home the win. A well-deserved victory after a seriously strong final.
More than just a game
At WannaFlex, events like this aren’t just about ping pong. They’re about connecting IT freelancers, clients, and professionals in a relaxed setting. A bit of competition, a lot of laughs, and plenty of new connections — exactly how we like it.
Missed it? Don’t worry.
Sure, you missed a great IT community event – too bad! But we’ll be back next year with another edition.
In the meantime, keep an eye on our socials. We will soon start hosting Friday afternoon drinks & pongclub — smaller, informal gatherings where networking. Unwind from the week, and smash into the weekend with a friendly match.
See you at the table next time.

For some it’s matching a top-tier candidate to a new IT role. For others… it’s winning a fierce game of ping pong.
Because at the WannaFlex office, ping pong isn’t just a game. It’s part of the culture. Matches happen daily. Rallies get intense. The tension runs high. And there’s always someone yelling: “Just one more round!”
That’s why our annual “I WANNA SMASH IT” tournament has become a full-blown tradition. A legendary event that’s not just about winning — but about fun, connection, and healthy competition. All in true WannaFlex spirit.
This year, the highly-coveted title went to our very own Friso Poleij and Richard Dodeman. Runner-up spot? Snagged by Luke, together with Sandeep Thukral, Test Automation Engineer — after an epic doubles final.
We’re already looking forward to next year. One thing’s for sure: at WannaFlex, we don’t just smash ping pong balls — we smash our goals.
