AT&T brought an online driving simulator to Crestview High School to educate students about the dangers of distracted driving from smartphones. The simulator allowed students to experience how dangerous it is to take their eyes off the road to look at a phone while driving. Representatives from AT&T, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and Family Recovery Center's Safe Communities Program discussed the importance of not using phones when driving. Research shows that many people engage in smartphone activities like texting, scrolling or emailing while driving, which can have deadly consequences from even a brief distraction.

The Next Disruptor in Travel in Asia: Bart Bellers
This document discusses emerging trends in travel in Asia that could disrupt the industry. It notes that connectivity through mobile devices and the Internet of Things is empowering travelers and giving them more control over their experiences. New interfaces, sharing platforms, and technologies like self-driving cars and green transportation will also shift power dynamics. The document advocates that companies embrace these changes and work with startups to evolve new ideas through initiatives like Amadeus NEXT in order to survive the disruption.
GAME ON: Engaging Consumers with Online Play - Main Deckbrand-e
brand-e presents 'GAME ON: Engaging Consumers with Online Play', October 16 2013 at the London Transport Museum Cubic Theatre.
One in four of the world’s population regularly accesses games on the Internet, with analysts estimating that the global online and mobile gaming market will grow from last year’s $29 billion to $46 billion by 2016. And casual gaming can no longer be associated just with teenagers hunched over consoles in their bedrooms. Titles like Angry Birds and Candy Crush, plus the rapid growth of tablets and smartphones, have ensured that games are played everywhere and by everyone.
This provides a huge opportunity to brands, and is in line with the massive shift of ad budgets to online, and in particular to online video. Gaming offers mass-market appeal and the chance to stake out elusive premium advertising real estate. Plus, gaming sites deliver better ROI for online advertisers - video ads associated with gaming destinations generate an average CTR of 3%, which is roughly 30 times higher than that for standard online advertising campaigns.
brand-e presents Game On: Engaging Consumers With Online Play, an event which will bring together a raft of practitioners to examine gaming opportunities for brands…
Spil Games will demonstrate the growing power of games, while LBi’S MRY will deliver the ad agency take on gaming and Proelios will demonstrate how to engage consumers through mobile games. Rebellion/TIGA will talk about what makes a great gaming experience, and Generation Media will discuss the marketing of real-world items within the digital gaming realm.

Social Media Introduction for Communications and PR Professionals - by Jos Sc...Jos Schuurmans
An introduction to social media, prepared for a seminar for communications and public relations professionals in Helsinki, Finland, January 2009, by Jos Schuurmans, http://www.josschuurmans.com/contact
The document discusses trends related to the third industrial revolution including collaborative innovation, the sharing economy, cryptocurrencies, crowdfunding, and distributed manufacturing. It notes that these trends are challenging traditional institutions and models of value creation as knowledge becomes more distributed through open networks and platforms. Organizations will need to both explore new collaborative models and exploit opportunities in these emerging areas to remain competitive in the future.
Jamie Dimon has had a long and distinguished career in banking, currently serving as CEO of JPMorgan Chase. He previously worked at Citigroup but was passed over for CEO, which paved the way for him to take the helm of Bank One and later lead its merger with JPMorgan Chase in 2004. As CEO of JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the US, Dimon has overseen significant growth and led the bank through the global financial crisis. He is considered one of the most influential leaders in banking."
The internet has revolutionized how people access and share information. Early concepts of a globally interconnected network date back to the 1960s, but it was not until the 1990s that the World Wide Web allowed general users to easily search for and access information online. Since then, internet access and speeds have increased dramatically worldwide. Today smartphones are the most popular way to access the internet, and people rely on search engines like Google to find information. Online shopping and video streaming have also grown enormously. The internet continues to change how people interact and do business in profound ways.

The document discusses setting up a legal entity for a start-up company in China. It notes that there are three main forms - a joint venture with a Chinese partner, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or a representative office. However, changing the business organization later can be long and costly. Regulations vary by industry and are updated frequently, so entrepreneurs must be aware of the specific rules for their sector.
- The document discusses the growing technopreneurship and early stage ecosystem in China, noting the importance of having a large market, entrepreneurial talent, incubation support, investors, and a culture of innovation.
- It examines what makes Silicon Valley successful and why it is important to China, then provides an overview of China's growing middle class, booming consumerism, and unique digital generation.
- The challenges and opportunities in China's internet and e-commerce sectors are explored, including the rise of mobile internet and barriers around devices, bandwidth and affordable applications.
Brief overview of social media, some companies whose initial forays were not a success and a suggested remedy/course of action for those companies who want to suceed.
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on business communication. It notes that while brands used to control communications about them, the growth of social networks and user empowerment through new communication technologies has weakened brand voice and given power to customers. It advocates that businesses must join social conversations, build communities, and develop relationships with influencers in order to harness the potential of social media.

Gerd Leonhard At Effie Athens June 11 Future Of Advertising Branding, and Mar...Gerd Leonhard
The Future of Communications, Advertising and Branding:
The connected media economy has turned "the People formely known as Consumers" into Users that seem to be getting more numerous and more powerful by the minute, creating their own content or just annexing whatever they want, downloading or streaming what they want when and how they want, and forming digital communities that are set to become more popular than MTV or VH1 ever were. Pre-broadband, linear and mass-media advertising concepts will surely be less relevant in the very near future, but what does "Advertising2.0" look like, who will be "The Creatives" and will brands indeed lose control to those ever more powerful Users? Media Futurist Gerd Leonhard will talk about the next 5 years that lie ahead for the industry.

This document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on traditional media. It notes that social media allows for more consumer engagement and personalized content consumption across various platforms. Some experts predict that newspapers and magazines may survive if they can build communities and add value to their online content, while television will see a battle between mass appeal and niche passions. Overall, the document argues that the media environment is fracturing as content becomes personalized through social networks and sharing platforms.

inQuba Webinar Mastering Customer Journey Management with Dr Graham HillLizaNolte
HERE IS YOUR WEBINAR CONTENT! 'Mastering Customer Journey Management with Dr. Graham Hill'. We hope you find the webinar recording both insightful and enjoyable.
In this webinar, we explored essential aspects of Customer Journey Management and personalization. Here’s a summary of the key insights and topics discussed:
Key Takeaways:
Understanding the Customer Journey: Dr. Hill emphasized the importance of mapping and understanding the complete customer journey to identify touchpoints and opportunities for improvement.
Personalization Strategies: We discussed how to leverage data and insights to create personalized experiences that resonate with customers.
Technology Integration: Insights were shared on how inQuba’s advanced technology can streamline customer interactions and drive operational efficiency.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

15. “ What makes Toyota's effort interesting is it doesn't feel like it was scripted by suits. The hypermiling challenge contains an element of mystery that draws in readers. The bloggers acknowledge there's a chance the stunt may fail, and the appearance of a "whatever happens, happens" attitude from Toyota conveys the company's confidence in its product — something other car companies don't have the stones to pull off.” Wired’s Autopia blog, 29 th January 2009 A low-fi execution with a risk element that conveyed confidence CASE STUDIES TOYOTA IQ

I wouldn’t claim by any means to know what I’m talking about today... Let’s face it no one really can... In such a fast moving world... I certainly didn’t choose the title of this session... And when I sat down to put this deck together it scared me a little... But web is all about collaboration... So I stuck out a few tweets... I blogged about the seminar on my blog... And my network did the rest! Hype... Part of the reason I’m here I think is that I’ve tended to be quite outspoken on my blog ( www.travelblather.com ) about the need to get the basics right before we get carried away with all this web 2.0 excitement. I still believe that – but increasingly I feel the excitement is more than justified... In fact putting this deck together made me all the more convinced that whilst there’s hype around the edges of this remarkable ride... There IS a real shift taking place here... More on that later... What I’ve ended up with to share with you today is some theory... And generally best some practice... I’d like to start with some theory... If I may...
The first few slides from this deck are borrowed from iCrossing’s VP for Social Media Antony Mayfield. And he in turn borrowed this analogy from the luminary web strategist Kevin Kelly. (If you don’t know who he is, I’d highly recommend Googling him and finding out.) Think of the web as an ever growing sphere - a machine linking up lots and lots of computers - constantly expanding – doubling in size every couple of years – expanding into more and more facets of life.
And as that sphere expands, it disrupts – Things like telecoms (suddenly telecom companies see their business models under attack from Skype and instant messaging). It disrupts things like the music industry, things like newspapers, retail – it disrupts all of our industries very time it moves further out – and then it absorbs them. And then suddenly media just becomes, well, the web – phone calls will just run over the web, music will just be downloaded or streamed on the web.
At the moment it’s expanding to the point where it’s really touching our daily lives – our relationships – the social networks that we’ve always had are being replicated and expanded online. It’s having a massive impact upon the way that we communicate – the way that we experience things and share those experiences with those around us. It’s making it possible to have far larger social networks, It’s making it possible to stay in touch with people more frequently It’s making it possible to find all of the other people that are just as interested as you in new camera lenses for the Canon 50D or whatever your particular obsession (of the moment or of your life) might be. It’s expanding and absorbing and disrupting... BUT the point is that it will become normal – just like email.
At the moment it’s something we call Social Media because it’s something new and it’s something different. But it’s incredible how quickly we normalise things in our minds. Can you remember what life was like before emails or mobile phones? In the future it will just be how we live... We won’t even notice it... A nice theory – but IS THIS HYPE?
I’d say no… it’s here to stay – a few numbers I pulled from google stats – (thanks Alastair for the suggestion!) http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/landing/internetstats/ And it’s becoming part of the mainstream… my mum is on Facebook for goodness sake… but (for a UK audience) p erhaps the best example is one Antony Mayfield often quotes:
Enough said! If the Daily Mail is telling you it could give you cancer... it must have entered the mainstream.
The social web has all sorts of impacts for the individual… I’ve talked about the way it makes staying in touch and finding new networks so much easier… BUT there’s a downside… It’s making it more difficult to make decisions – there’s an over-abundance of information here. A few Travel purchase stats – many of them you will probably be familiar with… - 20% of Brits will spend at least 8 hours trawling the Internet for a cheap travel-related deals. Greenbee.com survey, January 2009 On average, customers make 12 travel related searches, visit 22 websites and take 29 days from the first time they search until they make a purchase. Comscore 2007 – rather old stats now… but still significant. I believe that the brands that are able to resolve this conflict will ultimately be the ones that win big in the online travel sector
And how will they do that? It starts with understanding the changes: We’re moving from an old situation of channel media – where there was easy control… You chose your channel – developed your message and shouted it as loud as you could – (I call this foghorn marketing…) to networked media – human networks where everyone can be a contributor and a publisher and everyone has virtually equal access to distribution… it’s all rather more complex… We now compete for people’s attention in Real Time... We use the phrase “ Attention Markets ” – the idea that we are constantly having to earn people’s attention rather than expecting to get it... or being able to buy it through advertising... or to manipulate it by influencing those old channels like newspapers and TV with PR. And increasingly old methods of measurement will be meaningless too - We need to move away from the blunt instrument of measuring eyeballs and start to measure engagement – WHY? because it’s engagement that produces purchase... It’s a far more precise tool... Though it’s more complex to get measurement of engagement right increasingly we CAN... Before we get too carried away… let’s not forget…
Some things are still very much the same: We are talking about real people... The technological landscape may have changed BUT... people are still the same . They still need to find the right weekend break or the right family holiday for them – in the same way they did when they only had the phone or the high street travel agent to do it. The things that excite and motivate people don’t change, even though the platforms they use might. If anything these new platforms allow people to be more like real people online... If they find something they like that excites them – or conversely something that really annoys them... they can now SHARE it. The social web makes this really easy. The focus needs ultimately to shift from asking “how do we communicate this – how do we shout it out” – to “how do we create something that people will share and distribute because it’s so good” – (useful, funny, whatever). Increasingly we as marketers will need to get our products and services just right for our customers... And whilst we are about it – let’s not forget that people relate best to... people . Much of what social media is about is offering customers a real, personal connection with the people that work for your company. More on that in a moment...
One way we describe this shift at iCrossing is to use the term ‘Connected Brands’. (READ THE SPEECH BUBBLES) Those brands that win in the travel sector online... Resolving this over-supply of information problem that customers are wrestling with will be the Connected Brands. I think the key ingredient here is TRUST – either because the customer already knows you OR because you have the right credentials in the online travel space... More about that in a moment. But first let’s consider for a moment some basic principles of this new more complex on-line world
Here are the 3 golden rules of engagement that we use at iCrossing – this for me is what the ‘Hype’ bit is all about... Before you let anyone tell you you ‘need to do something social’ or they can develop a ‘viral vide’o for you or whatever... Step back and consider some basic rules of engagement – if there is one slide in this deck you take note of folks... It’s this one... And it’s the most simple! Understand your networks Before you wade in... Listen . And before you listen... Find. That can take time to do... Networks for now don’t just open up in front of your eyes with a Google search... (But that will probably change soon with Google social search and other tools more devoted to social search) Social search will ultimately be MASSIVE I think. 2) Be useful to your networks This is absolutely NOT rocket science... If you work in marketing, you should know your customer already... Sure... Conduct some more research – you might want to consider using some search term analysis and some social spaces analysis (stuff we do a lot of at iC – we have a rather smart tool that visualises networks which is immensely useful)... but be considerate and be appropriate 3) Social media offers the possibility of proper two-way communication – in real time (or thereabouts). To be credible in this space you need to commit to being available and being responsive. That takes money and passion and commitment. Personality is everything in these new online spaces.
How does this work in practice? I wanted to give you a real example of a travel client that we’ve worked with at iCrossing… but I can’t. You could argue that this means iCrossing isn’t up to much in the travel sector? Actually we do loads of work with the travel sector… I think it’s more that the travel sector has been behind the curve… but there’s massive interest now compared to last year… we’re on the verge of launching Social media projects with several really big UK travel brands. Remember how I said right at the beginning that I think this shift is becoming more real, more important… anyway…. Toyota was launching a cool new town car called the iQ. Before we did anything we listened and learnt. We discovered 2 particular communities that we figured would be real influencers in people’s perception of this funky little town car – the design community and the green driving community. A social space (blog format) was developed and driven by strong editorial input – written by Simon our in-house automotive journo. Content was designed to make a useful contribution to existing online conversations around cars, design, technology and fuel efficiency Toyota (after some arm twisting it has to be said) gave us exclusives on the new car – so we really had something unique and useful to communicate Outreach (seeding) was used to attract attention from relevant sites and bloggers. As Simon wrote more for the IQ blog, he began to participate where he could in some of the conversations in these communities. As a result of these conversations he came across hypermiling – the idea of seeing how far you could drive on a single tank of fuel. We convinced Toyota that this would be a fantastic way to engage with the green driving community and do something genuinely interesting that would prove our faith in the car itself. A hypermiling attempt based on an 18 city road trip on a single tank of fuel generated fresh, unique editorial. The team used the This is iQ blog, flickr , Tw itter , Vimeo a nd live GPS trac king to allow for maximum engagement with the challenge. You can see the results on this slide – It got picked up all over the place… including the New York Times… THE BIG IDEA – was that at the outset there was no big idea ... And taking a risk was a key element of the strategy
That’s not to say that there aren’t clever things going on in the Travel Sector – In the days of foghorn marketing it made sense to try and create some kind of personality behind your monolith of a brand... Because you had only the one voice to communicate with many different people (sure you could be a bit selective by using CRM to segment your customers a bit – but it was a pretty blunt tool.) For businesses focussed on customer service – and for travel sector brands that should be what it’s all about – the real people behind the brand are its biggest asset Web 2.0 is driving this desire for engagement with real people – so it’s time to open your business up... And let people in . The perfect way to demonstrate your brand in action and develop deep, really useful relationships with customers is to set up a blog... Mr&Mrs Smith’s blog is a good example... You get a real sense of behind the scenes... Personality and credibility are key – in this online world of over abundance you need to show customers who you are and why they should trust you. (NB we handed the Toyota blog over to Toyota to run themselves after a year or so... Ultimately it’s better coming from the people on the inside...) And this one – I love it – VisitFlorida’s website is a multi-author blog. Faceless content on a website just describing the delights of the Sunshine state – no matter how well it’s written – pales into insignificance compared with using real people who are experts. You gain: - Credibility, Personality/Empathy, Authority, Impartiality
That whole ‘real people’ thing can work really well on Twitter – Here are a couple of travel brands doing it very nicely: @Easyjetcare – Paul (yep a real person). I asked Paul a few questions actually – I made contact with him via Twitter: He told me that as “easyJet is one of the 50 top most brands in the world mentioned on Twitter, it was a natural progression for us. It is always to ensure that we maintain our care message, as it can be perception that low cost airlines do not care for their customers, which in our case is very much the contrary.” - What top 3 things you've learnt from setting up - good or bad? 1) Act on customers feedback, people give feedback to ensure things are fixed. 2) Don’t be shy, no matter how offensive customers can be in their tweets, still interact with those customers as they can be the biggest advocates. 3) Remember the key to social media is to be social don’t make it a one way street and use it who a customer would use it and not just to send out offers all the time. Add value to the customer and make it personal . @Cheapflights – Jemima (another real person) Real push for engagement – note stuff like background pic of the week. Jemima has a smart strategy for what she tweets when – in terms of time of day and day of week . If you want a non-travel example that is truly awesome check out zappos – the US online shoe retailer.
And here are a couple of interesting Facebook examples. Something that’s particularly interesting these days is the way that people are using Facebook as far more than just a space for interaction. Increasingly there’s a much more sophisticated technical element: STA Travel’s t-shirt competition creates excitement – great for its target audience Virgin Atlantic has developed a Facebook app for Flying Club members – to view flight info and their membership account on their Facebook page... Remember the bit about ‘Connected Brands?’ this is a great example of a brand being wherever its customers are and want it to be – the App was co-developed by members of the Vflyer frequent flyer community.
And I can’t mention Virgin Atlantic without mentioning BA could I? I’d hate to be seen as partisan! I love this idea... ( www.metrotwin.com ) another genuinely USEFUL concept – cleverly executed AND easy to expand too. Also love the subtle branding... Wonder if they will offer a Facebook app for this? (And... Of course I’m not even touching on mobile today)
Questions if there’s time: - Are different social media tools more appropriate for different types of travel brand? Does the cyclical nature of travel purchasing make it easier or harder to REALLY engage with customers? What impact does embracing Social Media have on a company’s internal organisation?
