In our October Innovations report, we went through the marketing loop and identified our favorite examples from the month along the customer journey.
As expected, we saw a surge in all things mobile. Research from Gartner provided significant projections for the next two years in the growth of smartphone & tablet activity, and brands have jumped onboard, targeting consumers through in-app mobile ads and in-store consideration tactics. In our report, we highlighted the Honda campaign in Zynga’s Scramble With Friends mobile game, Target’s use of QR codes for secretive holiday toy shopping and Kraft’s experimentations with NFC in groceries across the Bay Area.
Also to note, we saw both DisneyStore.com and Rent the Runway refresh their ecommerce sites, just in time for holiday season, and Red Bull make a splash across the globe with one of the biggest brand moments of the year — Stratos.

S431 "Social Media: How to Share Your Genealogy without Losing Your Mind," given at the National Genealogical Society Family History Conference, Charleston, South Carolina, Saturday 14 May 2011
Why the social web is here to stay (and what to do about it)Mike Ellis
The social web (was "Web2.0"...) calls to human experience and emotion in a way which transcends the hype often associated with it. While the phrase "Web2.0" does a good job of associating certain services and approaches together, it also has a down-side, suggesting that any day now, a "Web3.0" will be along to replace this transient, fickle technology with something new.
This talk argues that the "social web" has a momentum which should be taken seriously -- more seriously than "just mere hype", particularly by content-rich organisations such as those involved with cultural content. It also examines some of the issues -- particularly around the perceived challenges to authority and "value" of cultural institutions and assets -- and asks how these can be overcome.

A Practical Guide to Actionable Audience ResearchDevon Smith
Worksheet available at: bit.ly/namp2018
A fundamental part of nonprofit marketing and fundraising goals is growing and diversifying our audience, and/or persuading our audience to take an action. In order to achieve those goals, you need to know who your audience is; what their needs, barriers, and perceptions are; and how best you can influence them. Audience research should be a critical activity of any team, but structuring a project to yield actionable insights can be a challenge.
We’ll look at real examples of research plans, interview and survey questions, focus group activities, and audience personas. And we’ll talk about major challenges and decision points during the research phase and how we overcame them. This is a session for those considering how to engage new audiences, a change to their marketing or fundraising strategy, or new approaches to their website or other digital channels.
NAMP Conference - A/B Testing Your Way to SuccessDevon Smith
You say tomato, I say tomahto—A/B testing will figure out which one gets the sale. A/B testing is a methodology of comparing two slightly different variations of an outreach to see which one performs better. In this interactive session, get hands on with what it means to A/B test and explore both the concepts and the many, many cheap and easy tools that have cropped up to make A/B testing more possible.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Learn what A/B testing is, where, when and how to use it at their arts organization.
- Get introduced to the major A/B testing tools in the industry.
- Have some fun creating and running some A/B tests in real time.
AB Testing Your Way to a Successful Website, Email, Social MediaDevon Smith
You say tomato, I say tomahto, A/B testing will figure out which one of us is right.
The tools to manage A/B testing have become cheap, quick to implement, and easy to use, across a wide variety of platforms, from websites to email to social ads. Too few nonprofits are taking advantage of this opportunity to lower costs, waste less time, raise revenues, and more effectively inform and persuade their audience.
This session will explain how to implement and evaluate A/B and multivariate testing methods, share real case studies of A/B testing processes and results from nonprofits, and walk participants through a process of creating their own (paper prototype) A/B test for their website, email, or social ad.

Artists have always been at the forefront of defining the culture of the day, how we communicate with each other and about ourselves. Until the rise of Silicon Valley. Where Plato's Academy used to be the ultimate place of learning, mentoring, and making, now it's Y Combinator. Stravinsky's concerts started riots, now Twitter helps quell them. Picasso's cubism changed how we saw the world, now that honor belongs to the likes of Google and MakerBot.
And yet artists are making phenomenal works of art using the very bits of technology that have in large part supplanted their role of kingmaker/culturemaker. So what happens when dancers use 3D imaging, opera companies make mobile apps, museums turn to GitHub, & robots become actors?

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
