Outside design

Rad Summit is a 4-day camp-style conference for those who build and design products.

Why Rad Summit?

You’ll find something in the middle of the woods

This event combines adventure activities with knowledge upgrading. Learn for learn, play for play.

Keep ears open - a good forgotten rule. Adrienne Klum, design manager at Google and Larissa Chavaria, Sr. UX Designer at Rally Software (Broadcom), are making an interactive workshop to sharpen your skill of listening. You’ll discover the types of listening and how to engage in global listening. That is what helps build products people really need and love.

With Coby Almond, Product Designer at Pivotal, you’ll find out a way to an awareness of the muscle behind your mindset. Literally, it’s about the way to practice exercising your brain. (Say no more to idea blockers)

Jules Monza, Senior Product Design at Cake Insure, is going to frame the horizon of your projects
balance. Keeping balancing, you will be able to determine current priorities dozens steps ahead — it’s like having an understanding of the present in light of the unknown.

Andy Detskas, Product Design Lead, Strava, builds relationships anchored by rapport, appreciation, empathy, and transparency. And you will be able to do it too.

“As a creative professional, your most powerful tool is not your MacBook, your favorite editor or that favorite pen; it’s you.”

London, UK
Dates: 11 October, 2019
Tickets: £400
Participants: 100+
Speakers: 12

Words over the silence

Copywriting Conference is a 1-day conference for everyone who loves, works, and deals with words.

Why Copywriting Conference?

If you know how writing blows mind sometimes and make eyes roll, this event is for you. If not, this event will help you understand why writing (good writing) is hard.

Sometimes inner voice keeps silence. Sometimes there is nothing but a white page. Anyway, words still matter.

There is an interesting field in linguistics which is called psycholinguistics. This study learns the interaction of human brain and language (and how to influence mind too). Richard Shotton, the author of The Choice Factory, learned 25 behavioral biases that influence the way people buy.

From dating to the sport. Ben Dudley has experience in UX copywriting for Bumble and Adidas. Ben will share how he helped find love for users and how he’s now helping them to find a pair of cool sneakers.

Rachel McConnel is a digital copywriter. She will be talking about such a new approach as content design — there is a huge difference between marketing and product copy. Therefore, it’s good to think of content as a project that should have an idea & tone of voice in pure harmony.

Glenn Fisher will remind words-creators about a forgotten technique — direct response. If to learn it thoroughly, it’ll become easier to touch the hearts and souls of your audience. Even more, the messaging of a company will be more than good, just out of the masses.

Money issues

New York Venture Summit, presented by youngStartup Ventures, is a 2-day event that connects VCs, Corporate VCs, angel investors, investment bankers and founders of venture-backed.

Why New York Venture Summit?

That’s where all the money is. Moreover, this event gathers people who are ready to invest in you and your ideas.

Just imagine representatives from QED Investors, Plus Capital, Viridian Capital, American Family Ventures, Anzu Partners, and many others at one place. Like Great Gatsby but with a happy end.

For better or for worse, this world demand self-selling. Your idea, startup or innovative view can be something like a boom, but if you have no idea how to pack and present it, you will lose. At the panel “Fundable Deals: Making VCs Sit Up And Take Notice” you’ll sharpen your skill to talk and persuade.

Before creating something, analyze the market. Simple, but sometimes idea-makers forget about that. Ed-tech Investors are going to share insights on the trends they’re seeing (and highlight trends they’re ready to invest into).

If you want to invest, you’ll be interested in a session dedicated to the question of raising Corporate funding. During “Corporate VCs – Strategic Funding” you’ll explore how to yield important dividends for both for the investor and for the startup.

How to make sure an investor your idea is more than everything? The rules of the game are simple: you pitch, they listen. So, pitch well.

FYI: the first day is all about networking and cocktail reception. Smile, be polite and make friends.

Discounts: early birds can take tickets with 50% OFF (ends after June 13th)

That green robot...

Droidcon is a 3-day Android developer event.

Why Droidcon?

That’s all about Android, from its inner world to its external processes.

Traditionally, business needs predictions. Hardly ever it’s possible to say something with almost 100% probability, but still…There are enough data and information to figure out what the landscape will look like for developers in the next few years. So if you also see that potential cold war brewing between PWAs and Native apps, visit the “What Will We Be Developing in 5 Years” panel to make things clear.

How about to write your first Flutter application? Salih Guler who’s Android Engineer at Onefootball is making his own workshop to help you make Flutter application and explore all the features that Flutter offers.

A quite interesting session from lawyers: Hans-Christian and Woger Felix Hilgert will be analyzing GDPR cases which lead to fines by data protection authorities. Also, they will raise a point about mobile payments and in-app purchases for you to not get into legal troubles. As the saying goes, “Better be safe than sorry”.

Erik Hellman who calls himself a “mistake driven developer” will help you build good relationships with the WebView on Android. You’ll learn loading content, injecting your own CSS or JavaScript in a proper way.

Well, this list can be longer. But it’s Sunday and nobody wants to scroll too much. Click on the link below to find more about workshops, lectures, and panels...colored in the color of the green robot Open / Comment

2019-06-05 23:19:39 ​​So the world is talking about Apple WWDC 2019...

On Monday Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.

In a few words:

• Apple iOS 13: Dark Mode, New Siri voice, a few of camera and map tools
• Sign in with Apple feature
• iPad gets its own iOS
• New graphics cards

In dozens of words:

iOS 13 delivers new features that are meant to ease your daily routine and make your screen look more beautiful. They are dramatic Dark Mode, new photos tools and a swipe-able keyboard, as well as new Maps tools. Also, they added privacy and security features.

Say “Siri!” and get surprised to hear a new smooth voice. By the way, Siri is taught to read your messages.

Probably, it was made for fun, but now you can customize your Memoji avatars (so epic!)

Wait for a message on your screen. Very soon you’ll see a notification that new update is available and is ready to be installed. If you want to be the first and cannot stand it any longer, iOS 13 developer beta is available.

Apple gave iPad its own iOS. As CNET commented “iPadOS -- a dedicated operating system for the iPad that brings a host of new capabilities to its tablet.” You can work with multiple apps and files at once, keeping them all in Slide Over (well, let all your tabs be open too).

Highly protected. Tim Cook said that privacy is a "fundamental human right." Therefore, Apple introduced Sign In with Apple feature which authentication mechanism is similar to rivals Facebook and Google.

AMD unexpectedly introduced two new AMD Radeon Pro Vega II and AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics cards. The new products have a significant amount of video memory, high graphics performance and the ability to simultaneously connect to eight 4K monitors.

Tech factory

WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2019 is a 2-day conference for developers.

Why WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2019?

It’s the largest dev conference in Europe. 33 workshops and hundreds of talks.

“I drop you a message on Slack” - this what millions of people can hear every day while working. Slack has 10 million daily active users. Shane DaWael and Ankur Oberoi are making their workshop to teach you building interactive and engaging Slack apps with Python, Node, or Bolt.

If your apps or product are somehow related to work with documents, you’ll be interested in a workshop held by Sven Diedrich from ABBYY. He is going to show how machine learning works for OCR and document classification.

Managing teams is pretty hard, managing remote teams is twice harder. Marcus Wermuth, Head of Mobile at Buffer, will share his 4+ year personal experience about building a fully remote team.

Johannes M. Schleicher, Co-Founder of Codeversity, will introduce their cloud architecture as well as the tools they use. He wants to show how integrating AI, graphs, neuroscience and chronobiology into Codeversity is changing knowledge and learning in general.

And about code-sharing… Sebastian Witalec, Sr. Developer Advocate at Progress, will teach you taking an existing Angular Web project and adding NativeScript to it and then he’ll explain how to convert individual components and modules into a code-sharing structure.

Off-topic, but WOW: chess-lovers can battle against Garry Kasparov. No jokes. 10 lucky players get a chance to share the same chessboard with world’s chess champion.

Discounts: early bird tickets are up for grab.

Speakers: 7

Manage teams, create a product people love

World Product Summit is a 1-day summit for product leaders.

Why World Product Summit

When one of the products succeed, tech journalists won’t miss the opportunity to write a story. They will add shocking numbers, metaphors and superlative forms of adjectives to make the text sounds like something wow-sensational. But what happens in reality?

The truth is, it’s highly unlikely that you find true stories about the number of declines from App Store and Google Play somewhere on the web. Hardly ever you’ll read about features that never go out into the world.

That’s what this summit is about -- it’s where PMs share the stories behind the scenes, from pains to big times.

Scott Eblen, Director of Product Management at Twitter, wants to shed a bit more light on what skills are crucial for every product manager to have.

Machine Learning is still a superpower and Anna Buldakova will tell her 5 lessons learned while being a Product Manager at Facebook.

Empathy is on the tip of everyone’s tongue. People want to feel the feelings and get a better understanding of other people. The same happens with products. Satya Singh, Senior Product Manager at Hotels.com, will talk about formula he uses while managing the product: Attention + Empathy = Emotional Connection.

Begin your new tech experience

Rise 2019 is a 4-day tech conference in Asia produced by the team behind Web Summit.

Why Rise 2019?

Because you can make a new step on to the next chapter of tech.

We’ve said a few words about last year conference results in this post. And now we’ll name some reasons why it may be interesting for you this year.

Since 2005, Razor — American global gaming hardware — made over 35M users fell in love due to its high gaming performance. Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Co-Founder will share the story behind, from launch to present.

If you read reports from The New York Times, you know that cab drivers were blaming Uber for their crash. Gossips or not? You can ask their CTO, Thuan Pham, about that and learn more about tech challenges that arise with Uber's growth.

Girls know Shiseido brand for its quality and magic that it does to skin. Masahiko Uotani, President & CEO, will tell you about his own concept of building a ‘hybrid model’ for entering the international market.

To say the truth, there is enough information about building a relationship with potential customers. But what about communication with government leaders? Guy Diedrich, VP & Global Innovation Officer for Cisco Systems, will teach you the peculiarities of such kind of communication.
