Personal Branding is how you share and market yourself to others.
A brand is created when people connect images, emotions, stories, experiences and expectations with a person or company. Therefore, your name and what people associate with it, determine what your brand is.
Your personal brand is comprised of three C’s:
Connections – anyone with whom you have a relationship or a connection. Your connections include your friends, family, colleagues, clients, customers and fans.
Content – the information, language, images, and design associated with your brand that exists through word-of-mouth stories, printed and digital materials, public profiles, websites, traditional and social media (articles, blogs, video, audio, etc.).
Commerce – the money that you earn from goods or services sold under your brand name.
Connections build reputation. Content builds trust. Commerce builds a business. Put all three together and they create your brand.

Social Learning Tactics for Learning DesignersMike Taylor
Are you an instructional designer who knows there is much more you could be doing beyond creating traditional courses and classroom training where information flows in one direction, from “experts” to “learners?” Is your organization trying to meet increasing training demands with dwindling expert resources? In today's business climate, it’s imperative that as instructional designers, we explore more efficient and more effective ways of meeting our objectives—or we risk becoming irrelevant.
In this context, session participants will examine a variety of easy-to-implement tactics for designing social and collaborative learning solutions that tap into the knowledge and brainpower of the learners themselves, rather than completelyrelying on subject-matter experts to supply learning content.
In this session, you will learn:
How to incorporate social learning and real-time feedback into your courses
How to more efficiently manage dynamic learning content
How to improve communication among your stakeholders
How to use your existing authoring tools to facilitate collaborative learning
Ideas for connecting with your audience before and after training events

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.
