How has disruptive technology changed the world? In the world of ticketing some companies like Stub Hub are shaking things up for big companies like Ticketmaster. Check out Andrew Langer's breakdown!
Robots are electro-mechanical machines that were first created in 1738 in France. There are five general types of modern robots: mobile robots, industrial robots, service robots, modular robots, and collaborative robots. The use of robots in modern society is growing in areas like the military and industry, though there is concern robots may cause unemployment.
Ahti Heinla - Starship Technologies - Estonia - Urban Delivery Robots - Stanf...Burton Lee
This document summarizes a presentation by Ahti Heinla, CEO and CTO of Starship Technologies, about the company's delivery robots. It notes that Starship robots are being used for commercial deliveries in 10 cities across the US and Europe. The document outlines the founders' backgrounds and Starship's progress from building initial prototypes in 2014-2015 to deploying a practical, large-scale service by 2018 through extensive testing, safety research, and optimization. It describes how the robots work and notes they have received over $20 million in funding from various investors.
Dynamic and variable ticket pricing strategies allow universities to alter ticket prices in an attempt to balance revenue generation between primary and secondary ticket markets. Dynamic ticket pricing sets prices based on an algorithm and fluctuating secondary market values, while variable ticket pricing predetermines prices for individual games based on factors like opponent and date. Some universities like Penn State have had success explaining variable pricing changes to fans, while others like Michigan faced backlash. Fresno State saw increased revenue from implementing dynamic pricing. Achieving the perfect balance requires maximizing primary market revenue while allowing enough secondary market activity to analyze pricing effectiveness, without angering fans.
The document examines factors that may affect NFL season ticket prices from 2012-2014. Regression analysis found that average winning percentage, median household income, and whether a team is in the AFC or NFC significantly impact ticket prices, while number of conference championships and Super Bowl wins do not. Higher winning percentage, income, and being in the NFC correlate with increased prices. The model explains 65% of price variation.
A Front-Row Seat to Ticketmaster’s Use of MongoDBMongoDB
Ticketmaster is the world leader in selling tickets. After more than a decade of developing applications extensively on Oracle and MySQL, Ticketmaster made the move to MongoDB. The reasons for the move are generally in line with those of other companies – increased flexibility and performance, and decreased costs and time-to-market. In this session we’ll discuss how the conversion to MongoDB went at Ticketmaster and we’ll take a deeper dive into some of the successes and set-backs that we faced. We’ll give an overview of the MongoDB topology at Ticketmaster, discuss exactly what data we’re writing to MongoDB and comment on the MongoDB support model that we’re using. We’ll also touch on the transition from relational DBA to NoSQL DBA at Ticketmaster.
The document is a letter from a strategic consultant to the CEO of Ticketmaster recommending that Ticketmaster acquire Live Nation. The summary identifies that the consultant conducted an analysis of Ticketmaster, identified three strategic problems around expanding globally, simplifying its value chain, and developing defenses against competitors. The consultant recommends that acquiring Live Nation would help Ticketmaster address these problems by providing global expansion opportunities, simplifying the value chain by eliminating vendors, and gaining a shared fan base and sponsors to strengthen its competitive position.

This document provides tips for creating effective content. It recommends that content should elicit emotion from audiences by being humorous, heartbreaking, shocking, unbelievable, or inspiring. Content should also be powerful, meaningful, and sticky. Stories that feature personal examples are more compelling than dry facts and statistics. Knowing the audience is also important - their preferred tone, language, and mediums of interaction. The goal is for content to pass the "PMS test" and not leave audiences looking puzzled, mystified or skeptical.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness and well-being.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
