This document summarizes research on consumer media preferences and the role of direct mail. It finds that while many channels are fragmenting, direct mail remains strong and preferred across industries for both customers and non-customers. The research also found that preferences differ based on industry, communication type, and whether the recipient is an existing customer. Direct mail performs well for personalized messages to existing customers. While some consumers are rejecting marketing more, direct mail continues to be an effective channel when combined with digital channels like email.

Presentation World Press Trends 2017 at the Internet Advertising Conference, Prague, April 2018 (https://iac.spir.cz/akce/internet-advertising-conference-2018/).
Two years ago was a watershed moment in the news media industry when a fundamental shift in the business model took place: reader revenue became the biggest source of revenue for news publishers. This year’s survey re-enforces that trend as 56 percent of newspapers’ overall revenue came from circulation sales (print and digital) in 2016.

"Fortune favours the brave
The irresistible magnetism of confidence
Brand behaviour beyond ads
Appealing to the highest common denominator not the lowest"
Prior to the GFC, Australia was experiencing its most rapid population growth since 1972. This presentation suggests that the GFC will lead to a reduction in population growth in Australia due to a fall in both fertility and international migration. However, it also argues that regardless of global and Australian economic trends there are fundamental demographic factors which necessitate the maintenance of significant population growth into the future. Some of the implications of these trends for business are explored.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

28. Mail in the media landscape…
28
Mail might be popular
amongst consumers, but
marketers don’t seem to
feel the same way.
According to Nielsen… of the
$6.9B media market in Australia,
mail’s share is only 2%. Metro TV and
Metro Press get the lion’s share of
budgets, with 29% and 29% of media
spend respectively.

32. And therein lies the opportunity…
32
Consumers say they prefer
to receive promotional
messages through the
mail…
…and the mail channel
offers marketers an
uncluttered environment
where messages
received are read.
