Jane Minto – User Experience at WebCredible

In our talk, participants will learn the insights we uncovered when designing chatbots for the older population and the skills to prototype and test bots at speed. n two parallel projects in financial & charity advice services, we’ve explored how a conversational UI could be used to help diagnose, surface and signpost users to crucial information. Find out how we designed, built and tested live prototypes for a leading UK charity (Age UK) and a large financial services & pensions provider (Just) to determine how older people understand and interact with conversational UI.

Andrew Larking – Creative Director at Deeson

Chatbots and voice interfaces are terrible. They don’t live up to the dream. They give great demo when the conversation is scripted but beyond that they can’t understand us. Much beyond “turn on the lights” or “play Radiohead” they don’t do anything useful, but that’s a failing of design and representation and not a failure of technology. I will talk through, from the point of view of somebody designing narrative interfaces for some very big brands, the UX and design challenges we face.

Elvia Vasconcelos- Senior User Experience Designer at SapientRazorfish

It all started with a secret project that I can’t talk about, but that I did talk about @LadiesthatUX but only for 5 minutes. High on positive feedback I then decided to continue the conversation, this time internally with the 45+ team of Experience Designers I work with @SapientRazorfish_ The outcome of these 3 presentation sprints (yes, i am calling them sprints) is a not so dull deck that looks at the tools and methods I would use if I was to start a new chatbot project tomorrow. Coincidentally I am due to start a new one anytime now…

Priorities for UK spectrum policy: demand, developing 5G, and the UK's international role

Morning, Thursday, 6th July 2017

Central London

THIS EVENT IS CPD CERTIFIED

Guests of Honour

Dr Nick Munn, Head of Spectrum Policy, Digital Economy Unit, DCMS

Philip Marnick, Group Director, Spectrum Policy Group, Ofcom

This timely seminar will assess the way forward for UK spectrum policy and management - looking at regulation, innovation and international relationships.

As Ofcom announces its thinking and plans for 5G development, delegates will discuss the best ways to encourage investment, ensure the availability of key bands such as 3.4GHz – 3.8GHz and above 26GHz as well UK leadership internationally in this field at a time when the implications of Brexit are being debated.

Delegates will also discuss the ever increasing demand for spectrum, and the best ways to reconcile that whilst protecting other users and services at a time when Ofcom has closed its consultation into 2.3 GHz and 3.4GHz awards. They will also assess how some services could utilise improved 4G and broadband networks to deliver services in different ways, either in certain areas or entirely. Other areas for discussion will include the continued progress and investment in the rollout of 4G, the wider international landscape and the UK's role within it and spectrum for emerging technologies like IoT.

Overview The Christmas peak period keeps evolving – what’s going to happen in 2017?

Peak has undergone significant change in recent years – with Black Friday serving to pull a huge bulk of sales forward into November. The logistical issues experienced in 2014 have not been repeated since, but it remains difficult to predict exactly what will happen due to the sheer scale and pace of the Black Friday period.

What does seem to be apparent though is that Black Friday is a unique time of year – customers behave differently and retailers find themselves under different kinds of pressure.

So what’s going to happen in 2017?

This conference will look in detail at everything we know so far, identifying the ever-evolving character of Black Friday and helping you build a strategy for securing your share of spend during the busiest time of year. 

We will also be publishing a ‘planning for peak’ report (supported by Salmon) at this event.

Seminar: New Threat Vectors for ICS/SCADA Networks

Modernisation initiatives such as Industrie 4.0 and Smart Grids, involve implementing new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, converging IT and OT networks and supporting Big Data analytics and real-time intelligence.

All these lead to a larger ICS/SCADA attack surface, presenting new cyber-risks, as cyber-attackers seek to disrupt production operations, deploy ransomware, and steal corporate IP using industrial malware and targeted threats.

Designed for both executives and hands-on professionals, during this workshop, you will be able to network with your peers, discuss best practices for protecting OT networks and learn from industry experts about:

• How to continuously monitor your OT network for new threats and evaluate the relative risk to your organization from diverse ICS threat actors
• Conducting risk and vulnerability assessments with no impact on operations and effectively convey the new threat to your business leaders
• Implementing new risk-based controls that move beyond simple patching to include asset discovery, continuous monitoring, and behavioral-based anomaly detection

In the last few years, programmatic advertising has completely changed the media buying landscape. Although some challenges have emerged with it, the opportunities for both advertisers, media agencies, publishers and ad tech, have regenerated the advertising industry.
