Conversational Artificial Intelligence with Ben Tomlinson and Wayne ThompsonDatabricks
Communicating information to each other is at the heart of the human experience. Data, and the analysis of it, often drives this communication in a business setting. This session aims to give you an understanding of how advances in Artificial Intelligence, specifically Natural Language Interaction (NLI), Natural Language Generation coupled with Deep Learning can create new and exciting opportunities for building analytical based chatbots.
We will talk about how to design and train an NLI system that map requests to deep learning pipelines to derive insights. You will also learn how to apply NLG templates to help facilitate improved understanding and interaction with the chat-bot.
A design system is a framework of practices that bring designers and products together. It is a platform to identify, and document what to share, whether a visual style, design patterns, front-end UI components, and practices like accessibility, research, content strategy.
The role of design with enterprise organizations is expanding, spreading across product teams and influencing decision-making at higher and higher levels. This scale, paired with the array of devices, browsers, screen sizes, locales, and environments, makes it increasingly challenging to align designers and developers to deliver cohesive user experiences.
In this talk, I’ll discuss the lessons learned, the challenges faced, and best practices for creating and maintaining an effective interface design system.

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:

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).

Editor's Notes
You want to hit the following points:That we’ve been around in the industry for longer than most people are employed (IDGA states more than 65% of the people in the industry leave after 5 years) make this a casual comment like – did you read this? You can work the crowd that way.That Streamline Sound is a Joint Venture with Grammy Nominated DJ Tiesto – this is just another example of how the games industry has gained critical mass as the entertainment medium of choice.
