One would be hard-pressed to find a person claiming he or she didn't care about the environment, or about extreme poverty around the world. But does that convert to actual willingness to open one's wallet in support of said care when the time comes to make buying decisions? The latest data from Nielsen's 2014 Global Corporate Social Responsibility survey concludes that the answer is yes for a growing number of people around the world. This session will explain how Nielsen established that link, where the changes are most pronounced, and what other valuable nuggets and multi-year trends can be gleaned from the survey results.

Knockout Punch: Traditional VS Social Marketing - Brian Cristiano, BOLD World...

DigiMarCon - Digital Marketing, Media and Advertising Conferences & Exhibitions

Does anyone actually read that print magazine you’re advertising in? How about those TV commercials you’re dumping budget into? The smartphone is known as the “second screen”, but is that true or is it really number one? Traditional advertising still outweighs social media when it comes to marketing spend – does that mean traditional has more value, or will social win by knockout? Brian Cristiano, CEO of the Manhattan based sports ad agency, BOLD Worldwide dig into the reality in an unapologetic, energetic keynote that uncovers the real value of each and what marketers can do to have a real advantage.

People everywhere are online, blending their work and personal lives while searching, reading, watching, playing, listening and connecting to share experiences, opinions and information - every minute of every day. And, their move online has fundamentally changed how they interact with businesses - sharing their thoughts, preferences and experiences at every stage of the customer journey - a constant flow of real time authentic feedback. Shockingly, most businesses are missing all of it. At Twitter, we believe that it’s possible to know your customer on a deeper level by harnessing real-time, unprompted and authentic feedback. And, you can put that business intelligence to work to create better products, services and customer experiences by sparking engagement with your customers on Twitter.

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.

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 Calisthenics

Dorra 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 support

Alan 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.
