Social Media for Fundraising: Using Small Wins to Grown Social Media RevenueNetSquared Vancouver
Ever heard it said "there’s no ‘$’ in social media. Just a plain old letter ‘s’?" Many organizations have found that a strong social media presence has not yet translated directly into significant fundraising revenue.
Shoni Field will share the BC SPCA’s experiences using a ‘small wins’ approach to growing their social media sourced revenue.
Using case studies that reference some of the BC SPCAs successful online campaigns including BC SPCA Medical Emergency, Second Chance Holiday Campaign, Calendar Contest and National Cupcake Days she’ll explore:
• Whether a shifting emphasis from transactional to relational fundraising fits better with the social media psyche.
• How we move social media supporters out of their silo.
• What role virtual peer2peer models can play in growing social media sourced revenue.

Quiz day 2013 - end of year revision in a fun wayRuth Lemon
At first, the 5, 6 and 7 year olds forgot to 'buzz in' and put their hands up... Then, there was repeated/continuous buzzing. But it didn't take long for everyone to get used to the quiz show format, work together in their teams and have a lot of fun!
Ik ben Saskia Vugts (1963) Al jaren schilder ik portretten in opdracht met olieverf. Na mijn opleiding aan de academie ben ik professioneel portretschilder. Mijn grootste inspiratiebron is de unieke mens. Met liefde probeer ik in ieder portret een hart en ziel te leggen.Op een geheel eigenwijze schilder ik mijn portretten op de authentieke manier met een knipoog naar modern design. Voorheen tekende ik portretten met pastel, ik maak ook dierportretten in opdracht. Aan een Portretopdracht gaat een fotoshoot vooraf. Waar veel energie ingestoken wordt, het is belangrijk om een goed beeld van de te portretteren persoon te krijgen. Na een aantal maanden is het te vervaardigen portret klaar. In opdracht van de gemeente Vught schilderde ik een levensgroot staatsieportret van Koning Willem Alexander(150/210). Voor meer informatie kijk op mijn persoonlijke website: http://saskiavugts.nl/portret-in-opdracht/

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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!
