This is a talk I did for the IED and APG in Madrid in May 2010.
It's a thought piece exploring the energy/effort exchange when marketers attempt to create behavioural change. I don't think I come to any tight conclusions, but I hope it's good food for thought.
I've also had to hack it a bit to make it make sense without me talking. Hope it works.
Andrew Maier discusses and defines affordances, a concept that is rooted in psychology, and first manifested within a practical application in industrial design. Andrew then shows how to bring these concepts to web and interface design. Lastly, Andrew speaks to overdesign in interface design and how to avoid it.
Big Spaceship is a place where pushing the limits meets extreme deadlines on a regular basis. The keys to success? A philosophy that affords close collaboration and communication, coupled with a couple of clever solutions to common problems... and some really ugly placeholder art. Join Jamie as he details the way the Spaceship ticks and how you can apply these fundamentals to your own process.

Services and Stories - why marketing and product innovation need to play niceAndy Whitlock
I gave this talk at the Google Firestarters event in London on 17th September 2014. It’s a personal tale about my transition from marketing to product innovation and an attempt to talk sense about why they’re different and why they need each other.
I put this together for a talk to the lovely people at the British Library. Which might explain why it's quite booky in places.
It makes a simple point. But maybe one that gets neglected.
This is the final presentation I did in Madrid in April 2010. It's about doing.
Basically it contains an argument against distilling rich conversations down into simple, light messages; that you can bring people into the richer story simply by getting them to do one, simple thing.
What all that beta talk means for brandsAndy Whitlock
This is the second of four presentations I gave in Madrid in April 2010.
I was asked specifically to talk about "beta ideas". With that starting point, I decided to recap on where the language came from but to quickly move to how organisations need to think about releasing 'ideas' into an environment that is so unpredictable.
I talk about evolution and Andromedans. Apologies if any of it doesn't make total sense without my verbal narrative.
This is the first of four presentations I gave at a thing in Madrid in April 2010.
It explains how my background in PR and WOM has helped to shape my approach to digital marketing.
The more things melt into one another, the more invisible the channels and platforms are - and the more about real lives things become. Or something like that ;)
Apologies for holes in the presentation. I talked around a lot of the points and examples.
I'm a thinker with a doer's roots. Every now and then I feel like I'm thinking too much and not doing enough.
So I made this - a twist on Edward De Bono's famous six thinking hats.

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.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? 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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

tasked with daily is to ‘change behaviour’.
To get people to ‘do something that they’re
currently not doing’.
Which is a bit weird isn’t it.
