Long-Distance Battery-Powered Sensors for the IOT- SigFoxUS-Ignite
The Internet of Things has been dominated by things that connect to a pwoer source or which can be re-charged between uses. The Internet of Things got a lot bigger this year thanks to French start-up Sigfox which has developed a narrow-band long-distance wireless communication technique that allows sensors such as smoke alarms and parking space sensors to report to station miles away using small battery which can last for years.

AI won't take your job but someone using AI will take your job.
AI is a major topic of discussion today. Debates rage about the ethics, the potential for human extinction, obliteration of the workforce and plenty more between AI sceptics and AI believers. The variety and pace of development of the technology is unparalleled. It's almost impossible to keep up.
In this series of sessions at BoS Conference USA 2023 we’ll deep dive into how Autobooks retooled their business and ask the question, “What Happens if Product, Sales & Marketing Work Together?”

Joe discusses why managing an effective external board for your organisation starts with understanding and managing your own internal board.
Your mind has a number of relatively discrete and often conflicting subpersonalities affecting how you come to decisions. The strongest personalities change in the moment. Understanding which personality is speaking and the history that informs them, helps you to understand why they give the advice they do.
You can learn to manage your mind, the voices you amplify and control in different contexts. The same is true for external boards – each member comes with unique history and perspective. Joe shares how understanding your inner board allows you to manage your board’s voices, amplify the right voices at the right time and know when you need to find new input.

Do you know what the top five regrets of the dying are? Wishing you had worked harder, surprisingly, isn’t on the list. Eleanor will discuss the importance of discovering one’s true purpose as a key step in the way to long-term fulfillment.
In this interactive session, (pens and paper provided…), she will challenge you to consider your own personal history, how it has shaped your identity and values and show how understanding that can help you lead a more meaningful life. Living a life that aligns with your values can be hard when you may have concerns about the opinions of others. Aside from the value individuals take from understanding their purpose, or ‘why’, in the workplace, more engaged and self-aware employees are happier, more engaged, productive and creative in the workplace – if your company values are aligned with theirs.

How well do you know your best customers? Why do they choose your solution over all the others? Reality check – most of us guess.
Knowing what to focus on is hard. Knowing who your best customers are, quantifying and measuring how they feel value, gives you a top decile advantage. It enables you to operationalise growth.
Claire will show you how to match your product experience with real customer needs. Your teams will be better equipped and more focused to unlock product growth and revenue.
You’ll learn:
- Why identifying your best customers unlocks your product growth strategy.
- How to use what customers value to reverse engineer your ideal product experience.
- How to identify your leading indicators of success (which will more effectively influence your lagging KPIs like your free/trial to paid % & MRR growth).
- How to spot success gaps in your customer experience your team can fill.

Talk about the misuse of AI and the dangers it could bring if not used properly, focusing attention on the wrong things. Keeping humans at the center of the technology, not to replace.
“We are in 2107 years in the future, we are looking back in time to warn 2024 of the misuse of AI.
We have 2 billion less of the population, water levels rose and took land, harvest and some technology away from us and not everyone survived or knew how to do everything you do in the present.
We should have worked together more, we do now. We could have focused on the right things to use AI for rather than to help the rich stay rich and live longer. We appreciate what value people can offer rather than making them redundant.”

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
