This document discusses how to create memorable presentations by using visual aids rather than text-heavy slides. It recommends using simple slides with 3 key messages and placing all detailed text in the notes section. This allows the audience to focus on the presenter rather than reading slides. It also suggests using visuals that appeal to different brain types (e.g. facts, structure, emotion, creativity) to engage the entire audience. The goal is for the audience to remember the main points and be surprised with creative visuals rather than sleeping through text-heavy slides.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

6. The heart of your presentation is ideally 3 key messages, 3 things you want the audience to remember !
7. But how does our memory work ? Our brain is a big storage place of mental pictures : childhood memories, holidays, …Our whole world is mainly images. So why not use that in presentations ? It is far easier to remember a simple picture or a simple sentence than a complicated slide…
8. This is the kind of slide I quite often see in companies… And when you make such a slide: It won’t help you to grab and hold the attention of the audience Your focus and the focus of your audience is primarily with the slide Maybe you read from your computer to avoid reading from the screen but… …Don’t worry your audience is reading as you are now And while they are reading, they are not listening to you Maybe you just said something very important but they have not heard because they can read much faster than you can speak And while you are talking about the first bullit point, they are reading the last one Results on profiling in the zone before/after (display on the movie) Results on market share (display on the movie)
9. But it won’t work This is too much This font is Too small Font must be minimal 24 Here is the problem PowerPoints nowadays are ‘compromise’ documents: A compromise because the presentation serves two goals : they are used as slides during the presentation and sent as handout after the presentation. The solution : Use the NOTES ! Don’t use your notes merely as speaker notes but look at them as a kind of word document. You make a very simple, visual slide. That can be a picture, a graphic, a table, but always easy and simple. You put everything you say about this slide in the notes. Either in paragraphs or bullit points. Don’t print the slides but the notes…and this is your handout. I beg you to experiment with this Maybe this is more your style…
17. And this may help you understand HBDI Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument Everyone has a brain dominance. Left or right side of the brain, upper or lower half, or a mixture of all that but most often 2 quadrants will be dominant. To put it simplistic : A is the ‘facts & figures’ quadrant, B stands for structure, C is emotion and D is creativity. But no matter what your brain dominance is as a presenter, your audience is a mixture of all these colours and you will have to make sure all these colours are present in your presentation. If you don’t do that, you might loose some people in the audience…
18. The A-quadrant Use facts & figures ! This is the theoretic evidence of the point you want to make. Though remember…
20. …than a whole table with figures while only one or a handful are important. Put the whole table in the notes ! If you want to show an evolution, use a graphic that enables you to really show an evolution, not just a table with lots of figures.
21. This is taken from the site of Garr Reynolds Use the notes as this is the only way to make your slide simple. All the details, in fact the whole explanation you TELL while you show the simple slide moves to the notes. Yo make your presentation memorable as they LISTEN to you during the presentation looking at a simple slide. And you give them the notes after the presentation so they can read again what you have explained later on. You choose as a presenter how detailed these notes are, real paragraphs or just simple bullits with the main points.
22. The B-quadrant Using Key messages will help you structure your presentation. An agenda can do this as well, though a presentation is not a book ! Key messages are stronger and memorable.
23. The C-quadrant Use examples or comparisons ! This is the emotional evidence of the point you want to make.
24. A participant in a training recently used this picture in a presentation to explain a new machine. It was a machine meant for the pharmaceutical industry and he used the picture of an espresso machine to get the message across how simple the machine worked. To have coffee all you have to do is use a pad, press a button and there is your coffee. For the pharmaceutical machine all you had to do was put in a sample, push a button, and there was the result. The nice thing about it is that this simple picture made the presentation memorable. Because one year after this presentation people who had attended that presentation still remembered ‘Andy’s coffee machine’…
25. The D-quadrant Use your creativity ! This will surprise your audience and helps you to maintain attention. Instead of a slide like the following…
26. Inhoud deontologisch code Inleiding (wat is een code?, op wie van toepassing, enz.) Het waardenkader: De klant staat centraal Eerlijkheid en correctheid Respect en collegialiteit Bekwaamheid en beroepstrots Verantwoordelijkheidszin en Integriteit Uitvoering (Is ze afdwingbaar? waar kan je terecht? Met vragen, enz.)
27. You will attract the attention much better showing a slide like the next one…
28.
29. And the conclusion of this whole slideshow is… A presentation is not about the PowerPoint you make, it is all about you who talks to the audience in an authentic way !
30. …And to know what authenticity means, just wait for my next SlideShare Presentation… Thanks for reading and forwarding this !
