Welcome to the age of conversational interfacesRabeb Othmani
In the age of conversational interfaces, users are increasingly dispensing with swipes, taps, and tiny keyboards and expecting to interact with applications in a more flexible and contextualized way: voice.
Voice recognition software has increasingly grown in popularity from digital assistants to voiceprint identification for individual speakers and always-on interfaces.
In this talk, you will explore the contextualised communications and why it's a key element of applications in the present and future? You will also learn how to add feature rich communications capabilities to your apps using Cortana and Microsoft Bot Framework.
Linked Data for Development - Victor de Boer & Christophe Guéretopenforchange
Victor and Christophe introduce Linked Data for Development and highlight some examples. They explore possibilities to make linked data available in rural developing regions, through a voice/local radio interface and other low-infrastructure solutions.

How Technology is Changing Our Faith & Worship: Whether We Know it Or NotAdam Walker Cleaveland
So many churches today are feeling the pressure to become "relevant" and "hip" and use as much technology as possible in the midst of worship. We will discuss reasons why you should and shouldn't use new forms of media in your church's worship. We'll also look at the ways in which the technology of our times can actually not only change the practices of our churches, but our theology as well - and whether that's a good thing or not. Finally, we'll look at some examples of practical ways that you can faithfully use technology in your worship gatherings.
