Mobile apps have evolved significantly since their early days. Early mobile event apps were simply "show guides" that allowed for passive viewing of information with long development cycles. However, with the rise of smartphones and app stores, mobile apps became more engaging through features like user generated content, video, and improved usability. Today, most meetings and events now use mobile apps to provide an interactive experience for attendees, extend the life of the event, and increase sponsorship revenue. Event organizers must choose apps carefully based on objectives and audience to maximize uptake, which averages around 30% of attendees. The future of mobile apps includes technologies like Internet Protocol Services, near field communication, and gamification.

The conversation is no longer about mobile web vs mobile app, Android vs iOS, but about how to leverage each device and each platform's individual nuances to create a multi-device, multi-platform product ecosystem.
What does it take to build a successful product and what does a product need in order to be “sticky”? This presentation addresses these questions through the learnings of the past four years of offering inclusion for everywhere, everyone,…and every device at Groupon.
Underlying this is understanding the key behaviors of users on each device. For instance, a mobile website might get a lot of first time users whereas a mobile app might tend to have a more loyal repeat-user base. This means on mobile web finding ways to minimize the effort, be it by eliminating unnecessary logins or distracting functionality, may play an important role.
This presentation will consider the key factors that ensure the success of the device/medium individually and within the larger ecosystem.
In our digital world, customer experiences are delivered primarily through the mobile. There are several compelling reasons why businesses should utilize this opportunity to build their brand.

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.
"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.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
