This document discusses how InformaCast emergency notification software can help organizations send alerts to large numbers of devices during emergencies. It provides examples of clients that have used InformaCast for various emergency notification needs, including evacuating a federal building on 9/11, notifying employees during an ammonia leak, and automating lockdown procedures in a school. The document also outlines some of InformaCast's key capabilities like emergency group notifications, geofencing alerts, and integration with video security and conference calling systems to facilitate emergency response. Overall, the document promotes InformaCast as an effective mass notification solution for different types of organizations to protect people during emergencies.
Storymapping: A MacGyver Approach to Content StrategyDonna Lichaw
** Authored and presented with Lis Hubert **
Need an organized and prioritized content assessment? Sure you do! Unfortunately, it’s not always possible on a short timeline, with low funds… or is it? What if there was a way to create and facilitate an in-depth assessment of company content with organizations that are short on time and cash? Enter the storymapping approach.
Join Donna and Lis as they take you with them on their journey working with a New York City-based nonprofit to organize, prioritize, and manage program content in no time flat (and with little cash to boot). Instead of working with long research periods and deep-dive content approaches, they offer a creative method using storytelling to helping to map content needs to business and user goals.
In this session you will learn:
• How to do quality content strategy work even when constraints are many
• How to use content strategy to increase your understanding of content, even when you can’t afford fancy resources to help you
• How storymaps can be used across different touchpoints and content areas to improve the user experience.
One of the core principles of the agile movement was to shift the focus of software development to creating more valuable software, sooner. It can be expected that the managing of software in an agile environment would put value at its heart; over old, industrial parameters like scope, budget, time. Informed management decisions to maximize value cannot be made without collecting evidence of it. Enter the need of evidence-based decision-making, which is a great start in bringing the Scrum Stance to the managerial domain, leading to a new management culture, Empirical Management.
Gunther Verheyen uses ‘Evidence-Based Management’ to go into an exploration of empirical management as the best fit for the age of agile.
Gunther is director of the Professional Series at Scrum.org and a partner of Ken Schwaber.
Micro-Interactions in a 2.0 World (v2)David Armano
“We live in a world where the little things really do matter. Each encounter no matter how brief is a micro interaction which makes a deposit or withdrawal from our rational and emotional subconscious. The sum of these interactions and encounters adds up to how we feel about a particular product, brand or service. Little things. Feelings. They influence our everyday behaviors more than we realize.”

The New Era of Public Safety Records Management: Dynamic talks Chicago 9/24/2019Grid Dynamics
For businesses large and small, cloud-based software platforms are breaking down data siloes between teams, adding new capabilities, and boosting efficiency. While not known as early adopters, there's a compelling case for public safety to do the same. In this session, we'll explore how a comprehensive records and evidence platform can simplify operations and streamline data management and access, securely and responsibly. We'll also highlight the role of artificial intelligence, and how it can help agencies respond more quickly and improve outcomes.
Behind the Curtain: Exposing Advanced ThreatsCisco Canada
Today's advanced threats hide in plain sight, patiently waiting to strike, challenging security teams to track their progress across their network and endpoints. Meanwhile, executive and board-level reporting requirements are increasing as leadership demands in-depth answers that are unavailable from today’s block/allow security tools. With 55% of organizations unable to identify the origin of their last security breach, it’s time to stop relying on tools that define security based on what they see ‘out there’ and instead hunt for threats by tracking files, file relationships, and both endpoint and network behavior ‘in here’—inside your environment. In the first part of this interactive session, learn how Cisco’s Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) solutions use big data analytics to compare a real-time, dynamic history of your environment to the global threat landscape, automatically uncovering and blocking advanced threats before they strike. Then watch workflow examples demonstrating how your security team can use this advanced visibility and control to dramatically improve their efficiency and finally deliver the business 100% confidence answers.

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.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
