Level Up Your Marketing: Using Gamification to Enhance Your Marketing CampaignsMitch Canter
Ask anyone who’s played World of Warcraft or a similar game for a while, and you’ll usually hear the same thing: ”I’m hooked!” WoW has been around for nearly 12 years, and other games online garner similar sized - and just as fanatical - fan bases. How is it that a game - with “imaginary” achievements and bragging rights - can grab someone’s attention, keep it, and even bolster it for long periods of time?
Mitch is a gamer and digital strategist from Nashville, TN. In this session, he’ll go over a few of the top games on the market today - World of WarCraft, Final Fantasy XIV, and Destiny - and will look under the hood to see what marketing and psychological methods they use to attract customers.
We’ll look at real case studies and observations that we can distill down into actionable points that you can do now to turn your marketing campaigns around. Finally, we’ll look at how those companies interact with their customers - even when they’re not logged on - to keep themselves in mind and in focus.

WordPress Development with VVV, VV, and VagrantMitch Canter
The day I discovered Vagrant was the day that I changed the way I worked. I went from fighting with server setups and local development boxes to seamlessly creating sites that fit in with my own workflow. But Vagrant by itself, while good, won’t get you there alone.
That’s where VVV – a WordPress development environment – comes in. VVV comes pre-equipped with all of the tools, bells, and whistles needed to streamline your development environment.

Scaling your Tableau - Migrating from Tableau Online to a proper DWH solution...Sergii Khomenko
Initially storing data with Tableau Online storage could sound like a good idea, mainly because you get it for free. From another side Tableau doesn't say they provide a DWH platform, so you can not expect any kind of production use-cases from the storage of Tableau Online. In the talk, we will go through the process of automatically duplicating your Tableau datasources to Amazon Redshift. That will enable us to be more flexible with scaling your data, be sure about backup strategies and many-many more points. We will introduce our python toolchain that helps us in a daily management of our BI.
Canary Deployments on Amazon EKS with Istio - SRV305 - Chicago AWS SummitAmazon Web Services
Within complex systems, even well-written code can behave in unexpected ways and lead to outages and critical issues. Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) enables you to easily run Kubernetes, quickly deploy new code, and revert to safe, stable releases when issues are identified. But the damage done in the short period between deployment and rollback can be significant. In this session, we show you how to limit the effect of unforeseen issues using canary deployments with Istio and how to better monitor your applications in Amazon EKS and spot potential problems before they affect your customer base. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Datadog.

Local Development Made Easy: Multiple Methods for Local Development with Word...Mitch Canter
Setting up a local development instance can be downright frustrating. For a while, every new Mac and Windows update broke my local install, and I was on the search for a true stable local development environment. Setting up a local place to edit websites doesn't have to be frustrating - in fact, the right tools can even enhance and speed up your workflow!
Mitch will go over various types of local environments you can install - WAMP/MAMP (the old way), Vagrant + VVV + VV, and new contender Local by Flywheel. He'll go over the pluses and minuses of the environments, and how to get the most out of whichever environment you choose. Finally, he'll go over pitfalls and "gotchas" associated with developing a site locally.

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.
