This document summarizes a presentation by Phil Johnson from International Synergies Limited on industrial symbiosis and the circular economy. It discusses International Synergies as a company, defines industrial symbiosis, presents case study examples, and outlines their model for delivering industrial symbiosis programs. Key points include that industrial symbiosis connects unused resources from one company to another for mutual economic and environmental benefit, and that their National Industrial Symbiosis Program in the UK has delivered substantial cost savings, material reductions, jobs created and carbon reductions.
These slides cover briefly the concept of circular economy, how it aims at reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible. These materials would then be productively used again and again, thereby creating further value. Circular economy has enormous benefits when compared against the traditional linear and recycling economies.
GreenBiz 17 Tutorial Slides: "Putting Circular Economy Principles to Work"GreenBiz Group
The Circular Economy presents an incredible opportunity for transformative growth and change, but taking the concept from theory to implementation requires what can be a challenging exercise in rethinking systems. Join this session to explore how to put these principles into practice. Actual business case studies will set the stage for a group brainstorming session on how to apply circular models to various business scenarios. Key concepts to be covered include:
How adopting a Circular Economy mindset can deliver value to your business
The key drivers for a Circular Economy business
How to integrate lifecycle thinking and circular economy
How to select the right metrics and quantify circularity
What Europe’s Circular Package means for your company
GreenBiz 17 In-Depth Tutorials are intensive half-day sessions held prior to the start of the conference. These are designed to offer participants an opportunity to dive deeper into a topic of interest and develop tangible knowledge and skills. In addition, attendees will have a greater opportunity to network with their peers in these interactive sessions. Concurrent tutorials will be held the morning of Tuesday, February 14, and are available only to those who purchase an All Access Pass.
Circular Economy policy aims for increasing the value of products and raw materials by decreasing the waste production. To change the conventional use of products and its effect on the environment, the circular economy policy should be adopted by governments and even private sectors.

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!

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
