Fabrizio Ballarini — Scaling Organic Growth by Building Products (Turing Fest...Turing Fest
Building products with engineers is the most scalable way to drive organic growth. I will introduce briefly the disconnect I found between marketing and product/engineering from my past consulting experience, cover the basics on how we setup autonomous and independent growth teams and ultimately dive into how we drive growth by building products with engineers. In the “building products” deep dive I will give an overview of our framework to generate products ideas from search data, provide some tactical examples on how building custom CMSs allows us to quickly validate MVPs, why we invest in infrastructure to scale acquisition and what we learned so far by building products that solve customers problems across the entire funnel.
This is not your everyday data talk. Through working deep inside the fastest growing SaaS startups in our space, we've studied the patterns, methods, and models for driving outsized results. The one common thread? How they use their data. (How else would you grow from one marketer through to a $60M+ Series B just 12 months later?). How do they make their data accessible, draw the right insights, set effective goals, prioritise and optimise processes, and automate ALL the (right) things. So brace yourselves: we're going to be navigating through AI, automation, "moving the needle", and a minefield of other buzzwords to try to make sense of using your data for growth. But you'll leave this talk with a simple framework and set of questions you can take and use right away.
Every organization faces challenges such as lack of adoption of tools, and lack of alignment. Teams working in silos and content inside repositories are the biggest roadblocks to success. Predictive Knowledge Sharing helps organizations get the most out of their investments such as software, content, and expertise inside people's minds. Sales, IT and every business teams benefit from having the right information, at the right time.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
