"The best conferences I've been to are those that supercharged my work once I was back in front of the computer on the next day.
One would think that what inspired me were the talks but actually most of the learning happened while having lunch, standing around the hallways or enjoying a drink at the pub. It was in those moments when I got to chat with people who were facing the same issues I was -- and if I was lucky, I even got the chance to chat with one of the speakers face-to-face...
So how about we miss the talk and go right into the face-to-face chat?"

35 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Quit My Job (3yrs later)Ross Simmonds
It’s been nearly 3 crazy years since I put in my two weeks notice and left the 9 to 5 once and for all. It was a crazy time in my life as I had just bought a home, but was completely tired and drained of working for someone else. I knew I had to escape the 9 to 5 and I was determined a few months earlier to put the steps in place that would allow me to make it a reality.
Over the last 3 years, I’ve built a consulting business that last year did more than $250k in revenue. I share the figure because I want people to know that I’m by no means on the level of Mark Zuckerberg or any of the folks on Shark Tank but that I’ve reached a point financially that I’ve been able to live life on my terms. I’ve been able to make investments into projects I’m passionate about like HustleAndGrind.co and GetCrate.co.
Looking back over the couple years, it’s been filled with highs and lows.
I wouldn’t change it for the world and I’m thankful that I’ve been able to grow and have great people around me. If it wasn’t for my clients, partners, family and friends — I would likely have burned out many months ago and not be writing this post. So thank you…
For anyone who is stuck in the 9 to 5 and is looking to escape, I just published a guide called The Hustle Manifesto that goes a bit deeper into some of the ideas I’m going to share in this post.
It’s not just a guide, it’s a resource pack filled with stories, email scripts, challenges, webinars, and clear insights that I’ve gathered over the last few years. Check it out while it’s available at a limited time price.
Alright, let’s get to it…
Are you leveraging social proof to optimally boost leads and sales? Checkout out these tricks for harnessing current and past customer success (testimonials, star ratings, customer action shots, etc.) to drive more conversions.
You'll learn:
- What kinds of social proof aid conversion (and why)
- Common conversion-killing social proof cases to avoid
- When and where social proof matters on a landing page
- How to score/grade the quality of your social proof
- What elements make a highly persuasive testimonial (and how to get them)
BONUS: Learn my "CRAVENS" methodology -- a simple scorecard for measuring the quality of social proof to effectively persuade conversion. CRAVENS = Credible, Relevant, Attractive, Visual, Enumerated, Nearby [anxiety points], Specific.
Note: A "craven" is a chicken, quitter, scaredy cat, etc. The CRAVENS model focuses on leveraging social proof to strategically reduce anxiety (i.e. scaredy cat, abandonment tendencies) and in turn boost conversion. Get ready for some actionable social proof tips and some epic LOL cat slides! #RememberTheCravens (scaredy cats!)

Referral Programs: We Can Do So Much Better - Alan HenshawRecruitDC
Referral programs in most orgs are very outdated and not made a focal point. Considering how many hires most organizations get are from referrals, we can really supercharge these programs by thinking outside the box. Thinking about what really drives human behavior to go out of their way to refer someone for a role.
You can't take creative people, stick them in sterile, lowest cost per square foot spaces, and expect them to achieve the best work of their lives. At Atlassian, we've been focussing heavily on the design of our work spaces, to create flexible, engaging, delightful, and yes productive places for our teams to work in.
It's about a lot more than foosball tables and beanbags, and we think what we've learned can have value from a freelancer's home office, to entire buildings (like ours). As our organisation has evolved from its engineering roots to incorporate a large design team, so have the needs of our office space to help us work together as multi-disciplinary teams.
Journey Mapping for Damn Good Digital Design - MIMA Summit 2015Rebekah Baggs
Designing mobile and responsive experiences that delight our users and meet our organizational objectives isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. User journeys can help.
Understanding our users context is critical to the success of every app or responsive website. But more often than not, we jump right into discussing functionality and technical requirements without ever stopping to considering who our users are and what they need. While many of us seek out shiny new tools to prototype products, mapping the users’s journey is still the most reliable tool we can use to understand context and design mobile experiences that matter.
Learning Objectives:
1. What journey mapping entails and why it is an essential tool for designing effective mobile experiences, or any digital experience for that matter
2. Practical tools and exercises you can use to understand user context and consider those insights in your app, or responsive website
3. Techniques for mapping user journeys with your team and applying what you’ve learned to build better user flows, features, interactions and interfaces

Content marketing & Storytelling: how to make your story stickFINN
Why do the video presentations of Steve Jobs get thousands of views? How is it that organizations like Google or Lego manage to project a consistent image? Simple: through storytelling. Whoever succeeds in telling compelling stories, causes the vision and mission of their organization to lingers in the minds of the audience.
The stories that organizations shine light on make the brand tangible. A good storyteller takes his audience on a journey, and leave them being inspired and motivated.
But how do you translate that into concrete presentations, pitches or strategies?
Kristien Vermoesen brings you the tips and tricks of storytelling. How do you view your company? And how do you build a presentation so your entire message comes across clearly, interestingly and accurately. Storytelling is an almost indispensable tool in the modern business context. What can we learn from the storytelling of other organizations? Good campaigns on YouTube or even Snapchat? And what is there to learn from Martin Luther King?
New branding 101 - Start Up Right & StrongLulu Dragonfly
Branding now is the core of a successful business. Branding has evolved. It is way more than a visual identity, a tone and attribute. It is no longer the tip of the iceberg, meaning what customers see and the hidden, opaque, part what your company is.
Branding today is this fabulous aura your company is based on. Per say, branding starts by transparent business vision, goals and values, aligning the way your company conducts business and what you actually deliver.
Branding rules all your business choices. It is like a guideline you lean on for any decision you have to make. Financials, HR, production and procurement, social welfare, organization, and of course business strategy.
How could you do differently in a society starving for sincerity and humanity.
From this point results a whole new game with new rules for conducting business.
You company has to be what she claims she is… or she is exposed to an irreversible disaster.

AMAZON CASE STUDY:
Ethics, Fair Treatment and the ‘Meaningful’ Organisation
Amazon is one of the world’s most recognised organisations. It was the first to leverage on-
line platforms for selling and distribution, making its first book sale on-line in 1995 before
diversifying into CD, DVDs and electronics and ultimately becoming the ‘everything store’.1
It utilises high-end technologies and robotics to shape and control work and employment
relationships. Amazon is an internet mammoth, heralded as a true ‘meaningful organisation’
by its corporate leaders. It claims to lead the way for its culture of managerial change and
creativity and its identity to millions as one of the few companies of its type to survive the
technological boom-bust cycle.2 As Google is to internet search, Amazon is to e-commerce,
practically inventing this category of shopping. Amazon’s overriding goal is
“to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where customers can find
and discover anything online”3.
Financial results suggest the company and its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos are doing well in
this task. At the close of 2015 Amazon shares reached a record $694, whilst company market
capitalisation stood at $325 billion US dollars.4 Jeff Bezos has been lauded for his
achievements, including numerous best CEO awards. Industry adjusted shareholder return
under his stewardship comes in at a massive 12,266%.5
According to Bezos success to date is attributable to a unique culture and capacity for re-
inventing.6 This is seen in inventions such as customer reviews, the Kindle, and Amazon
Web Services. Recent developments include moving to compete with Netflix in streaming,
whilst experimenting with drones to achieve 30 minute delivery times.
In employment terms Amazon has 155,000 people world-wide, surpassing the likes of
Microsoft. Employees, known as “Amazonians”, are managed culturally to be ultra-
competitive and achieve high performance. Amazon is renowned for pioneering creative
work practices. CEO Jeff Bezos is an outspoken supporter of technological innovations to

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.
