Using the RaceDay Suite for Virtual Racesrunsignup
Today's virtual events range from purely virtual race anywhere without timing equipment events to a hybrid of traditional and virtual with flexible start time events. Successful virtual events are heavily reliant on technology, and time-strapped race directors are looking for timers to help them. This session will cover the ways timers can take advantage of the RaceDay Suite of tools for the full spectrum of virtual events. From no touch pre-race tools like registration, check-in, and dynamic bib assignments to an interactive real-time race day experience with virtual user submitted results, scored results with flexible start times, RaceJoy's mobile race day experience, and more. Timers will be empowered with the knowledge of technology crucial during this time and the ability to differentiate their services for virtual events.
How do you make a virtual race day more like an in-person one? See how RaceJoy, offered by Certified Timers, can create interactive experiences whether the runner is on an "official" course - or is running wherever they are. Add fun audio alerts, encourage spectators to send cheers, and monitor the race from your home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

their address and EIN, along with
custom thank you
❖ Fundraising settings for your race will
apply to all charity partners (i.e.
fundraising goals, rewards, etc.)
28. STEP 1: Donation Description & Charity Description
❖ Donation Description: Donations>>Setup>>General Settings
○ GENERAL RACE DONATIONS: Let your donors know HOW these funds will be used.
Without a clear description, people are less likely to donate.
❖ Charity Description: Donations>>Charity Partners>>Add A Charity
○ CHARITY SETUP: Enter your charity’s mission statement here.
■ When you invite a Charity Partner, they’ll be able to add their own description
○ People are more motivated to donate when it’s clear that the funds are going to a
reputable charity
It’s extremely surprising how many races and charities skip this text or
skimp on information

29. STEP 2: Donation Levels
❖ Donation Level Setup: Donations>>Setup>>General Settings
○ Why: Without donation levels, only the open donation field will show.
○ Adding different donation levels makes this field less intimidating for your registrants and
donors:
■ Include a range of amounts, from small to large amounts
■ Use creative donation level names!

30. STEP 3: Customize the Donation Confirmation Email
❖ Donation Confirmation Email Setup: Donations>>Setup>>General Settings>>(Bottom of the
Page) Donation Confirmation Email
○ Thank You: Add a detailed Thank You Message
○ Tax Deductible Donations: Add your EIN and Address
○ Donation Matching Text:
■ Most people don’t even think about asking if their employer has a gift matching
program. A lot of companies do.
■ Add some text to point people in the right direction:
Double Your Donation Today! Do you know if your company has a matching gift
program? Check with your Human Resource department to see if your company matches
employee gifts. If they do match employee gifts, make sure to use this opportunity by
having your employer match your contribution!

31. STEP 4: Charity Checkbox
❖ Donations>>Charity Partners>>Add Donation to Checkout
○ DISPLAY: If someone skips making a donation during the registration process, this
checkbox will show to prompt them to make a donation on the cart page.
○ AMOUNT: You can set the flat amount for the donation checkbox. We find that amounts
in between $1-5 work best
○ SUCCESS: On average - 12% - of registrants check this box
○ MULTIPLE CHARITIES? No problem, you can choose to rotate your charities with the
checkbox
31
32. STEP 5: Donation Discounts

pages when a fundraising page is created
○ INDIVIDUAL PAGES: Fundraising>>Individual Fundraisers>>General Settings
○ TEAM PAGE: Fundraising>>Team Fundraisers>>General Settings
○ CHARITIES: If you have charities, this message can be customized for each charity
○ EDITING: Fundraisers can edit, remove or add to this text - it just gives them a nice
starting off point and/or puts text on the page for fundraisers who don’t customize
their page
❖ We now require the race/nonprofits to add default messages for individuals and teams.
This makes fundraising easier for fundraisers, pages look more complete and fundraising
is more successful

38. TIP #2: Team Fundraising & Team Motivation

their friends and family to join their team to recruit more runners and more donations
for your race.

fundraising captains to grow their team
❖ TEAM FUNDRAISING PRIZES: Reward your top fundraising teams - largest team, most
raised, etc. Prizes = Motivation

more information for their team members. This is helpful for teams that order team
