Workshop: Mining social media data for betterCX driven outcomes


To understand the customer journey and to attempt toclose the ever-widening expectation gap, betweenpromise and delivery, companies need to find morepowerful ways to structure and analyse their data. Thisis especially true for social media data – a source ofvolunteered public opinion – which until now, hasproved almost impossible to accurately mine, let aloneto extract a genuine return on investment. Byintegrating artificial with human intelligence,organisations are now able to accurately structuredata at scale for sentiment and topics, allowing themto make strategic customer experience interventions.

The session will look at social media data fromvarious industries including banking and retail unpackthe key drivers of public sentiment across thecustomer experience journey.

Why DevOps is Critical to the Cloud Journey


The journey to the cloud is ever more complex,perhaps it should be called the maze to the cloud.There are so many choices to be made, each choiceneeds a decision, budget and contains risk. What isright for now may not be right for a business in a year.DevOps is critical to the success of the journey to theCloud, “anybody” can spin up the Cloud service but notas many can work out the applications that truly workat an optimum level in the Cloud and indeed shouldsome stay well and truly out of the Cloud.

Chair's Welcome to the TechXLR8 FuturistSummit: Advice from 2023


TechXLR8 Futurist Summit: Advice from 2023

If your future self, in the year 2023, could send amessage for you to consider now, in 2018, what wouldthe content be?

The TechXLR8 Futurist Summit will feature a range oftechnologists and researchers who will share theirbest guesses at the advice our future selves mightwish to transmit back to us, five years earlier. Whichtechnological trends have the potential to deliver themost surprise? How might society react to thesetrends? What disruptive changes could take place inthe attitudes of consumers, business partners,legislators, and political leaders? Which present-daybuzzwords will prove to be the most exaggerated anddistracting? Which emerging threats and opportunitiesdeserve the most attention, as we set out on thejourney from the present day towards 2023? And howshould we prepare for these potential gales oftransformation ahead?

At the Futurist Summit you'll be able to witness aseries of TED-style talks, "Advice from 2023",interspersed with rapid Q&A that draws out theinterplay and the contrasts between the differentspeakers. The speakers will highlight ways in whichbusinesses and organisation in 2023 won't simply beoperating the same way as today (except faster andcheaper), but might feature radically different practicesand goals.

David Wood - Chair, London Futurists

Rediscovering our humanity


Matt O’Neill can be found online at futuristmatt.com.He’s convinced that ordinary people have more powerin their hands to create change than ever before. Matttakes great pleasure in exploring the relationships andpatterns between technical and social trends. Socialscience is broadly the study of unintendedconsequences, many of which arise fromtechnological progress. Matt is absolutely convincedthat the path to a positive future lies in betterunderstanding WHAT WE ARE.

It’s clear that AI, Robotics, Biotech and any number ofother innovations are set to impact society in wayswe’re only beginning to comprehend. Alongside, thereare significant opportunities and existential threats tous as a species. Effectively, we are playing at the gameof life with ever-higher stakes.

Matt’s talk will explore how since the Age ofEnlightenment, science has diverged from mysticismand spirituality; yet trends – particularly in modernNeuroscience – are bringing these disciplines togetheragain, with belief systems becoming endorsed byscientific rigour. Why are we seeing growth in spiritual(not religious) pursuits both in people’s personal andbusiness lives? Matt will contend that a betterunderstanding of WHAT WE ARE, not WHO WE ARE,has the potential to wash away contemporarynegatives like insecurity and stress to reveal that we’realready perfectly designed to handle whatever lifethrows at us.

We're gonna talkabout how we can use this model with Jenkins andCircle.Ci to efficiently deploy a fully automatedcontinuous pipeline for microservices and Kubernetes.We're gonna go through the features explainingadvantages and trade-offs: how to implement"promotion" across multiple environments for both thedeployable artifacts and the configuration and how tohave complete logging and auditability in a simpletemplate logic.
