Exponential Results with Small Teams with Alex Rudloff
Time is our most precious resource. We should constantly spend resources to recapture it so we can put it back to work elsewhere. Alex, with his experience as TEDx Chief Digital Strategist and early Blogsmith employee, will walk through simple processes that you can use for every project at every organization to enforce the necessary discipline.
The Product Game with Dan Maccarone and Austin Smith
Professionals involved in designing, building and running large websites routinely get to sharpen their technical and creative skills, but rarely have the opportunity to practice soft skills. The Product Game is designed to drill teamwork, decision-making, and change management.
Dan is the co-founder of the product design company Charming Robot and Austin is co-founder of web development consultancy Alley Interactive.
Making the Most of Your Data with Carly Stambaugh
As a part of Automattic’s Data Science team, Carly is going to walk through how you can use anonymous user data to keep people on your site now and in the future.
The Convergence of Content, Design, and Technology with Michael Eisenreich
Marketing requires a mix of high quality content, design and technology to be compelling and ultimately effective. Mike, who leads Bloomberg LP’s content, creative and digital marketing department (known as the Bloomberg Studio), will discuss the evolution from a channel-based approach to one that aligns and connects multiple capabilities to achieve its core objectives and enable innovation.
Net Neutrality with Marvin Ammori
Marvin led the 2014-2015 net neutrality campaign for technology CEOs and general counsels and was a key leader in SOPA copyright debate and Google antitrust investigation. Marvin will take us through some history as well as a look ahead on this interesting subject.
Emerging Market Internet with Erik Hersman
Emerging market internet is the last blue ocean of users, but how do you optimize for their slow speeds and small screens? We’ll go through it with Erik, the co-founder of Ushahidi and BRCK.
