Talk 1 - Information Architecture in Our Everyday Lives by Alan Dooley

Information architecture informs all the content we consume. Like good design, we don't notice it unless it's gone wrong. This talk is an introduction on what information architecture is, what it means in personal and professional contexts, and how we can use it to manage our information better.

Talk 2 - The Subtle Art of Lying with Statistics by Dave McAllister

Learn how data choice, event focus and scale change perspective. See how graphs mislead and correlation can cause confusion. Join in for a light-hearted view of the world of statistical manipulation

Talk 3 - Silent Superpowers: Why Breaking Production Isn’t Scary Anymore by André Silva

Imagine unleashing new features into the wild without the fear of breaking things—enter the world of feature flags. Picture this: your team ships code to production seamlessly, yet the power to unveil new functionalities remains entirely in your hands. This dynamic decoupling lets you test features live, roll them out gradually, and gather real-world feedback—all while mitigating risks and accelerating confident releases. In the realm of cloud-native applications, feature flag libraries weave effortlessly into your codebase, championing agile strategies like trunk-based development and dark launches. But why stop there? Step into the future with OpenFeature.
