Agenda

In this session, we will present some of the emergent trends in Enterprise Application Architecture. We will brush through the various aspects of computing at scale, global architectures and real time data analytics and shed some light on how Open Source plays a key role by providing core components supported by large communities.

How to bring in safety back into an organizational culture when the contemporary patterns used to increase the rate of change also contribute to increased fragility? In this talk, we will look at contributing factors, the limits of chaos testing, and patterns and practices needed to support a high rate of change while also maintaining system safety.

Leading IT analysts concur “the landscape of cloud adoption is one of hybrid clouds and multi clouds”. At Red Hat we completely agree. Open source technology provides a platform for imagination and is driving innovation in the cloud. Join Werner Knoblich in this keynote to understand how open source technology can help you unlock your organization’s potential because great things happen when people and ideas come together.

At a time where the world and business processes are moving to digital and always connected, new leaders will arise, and existing leaders will be challenged. Data is at the center of the transformation. In such a transition, how to we avoid monopolies to capture most of the value, and give the opportunity for every business to be competitive?

This is an interactive exercise where we will walk the audience through a fictitious cyber security incident in real time as it unfolds. The audience will be asked to make decisions, to consider risks and ultimately recognize some of the many skills they will need as executives when responding to a cyber security incident. Bring your colleagues and let's see how you do in this gamified presentation.

User Behavior Analytics. Learn how to stop fraudsters from wreaking havoc with your online assets. We will teach how to mitigate today the two main types of online fraud: automated threats, which are malicious robotic activities used for website reconnaissance, credential stuffing, account takeover and brute-force login pages; human-driven fraud, used to exploit compromised credentials and abuse online systems. As expert in bad bot mitigation, Distil Networks will join us to explain the latest technology trends used today to stop automated threats using machine learning. We will then talk about User Behavior Analytics (UBA) as key enabler for the future of fraud prevention and probably the best answer to detect fraud and rapidly stop bad actors based on behavior.

Booking, check-in, passing security and boarders with no hassle. What if we could make travel abroad as simple as a walk in your neighbourhood? Amadeus together with IATA, the World Economic Forum and key ecosystem players in this area, like Verimi, are defining the future of identity management that will allow a frictionless and secure travel across the entire travel chain.

Blockchain has built the promise to change many aspects of our society. After months of exploration, what are the main challenges to a successfully wide adoption? How is it evolving? Experts on blockchain will share with you their insights and the potential for travel and beyond.

In this session we will dig a little deeper in the ideals of “do well” and “do good,” uncovering case studies from all manner of industries that talk about the challenges of IT leaders when faced with human expectation. From AI Healthcare to Smart Manufacturing, how we address the change in drivers for users and customers already puts us behind the curve. The advent of IoT and smart infrastructure only makes the requirements more broad, not less. Therefore “cloud” is no longer a simple answer to these ever evolving challenges. Business technology solutions must become more impactful.

What's the biggest barrier to change and transformation? According to CIOs, the resounding answer is culture, but that's not a very useful answer. Culture is big, unwieldy and hard to change. Most CIOs approach big change with big transformation efforts. We suggest you hack your culture instead.

With their international community of over 1.3 million developers, CodinGame help hundreds of companies source, screen and retain talented developers. Frederic is the co-founder and CEO of CodinGame. He’s a self-taught developer himself and has strong expertise in tech talent management. How do you find good developers? How do you identify them? How do you retain them? These are just a few of the questions Fred will address to help today’s new generation of tech leaders build great tech teams.

Tiddo and Koen will share the story of how Air France – KLM experienced its transformation to become a scaled agile company, using the SAFe framework with some twists. In particular, what lessons about leading such a change did they learn: •In record speed kick-starting 3 Agile Release Trains (ART) over the summer holiday period •Transforming the organization again by reshaping and doubling the number of ART’s •Creating a culture of continuous improvement and change throughout the entire company •Working across 2 companies with distinct profiles, across business units with different stakes, and different cultural backgrounds as a result.

Who wants to see an ad today for the flight they bought last week? Everyone knows that customer experience is driven by data: don't waste an opportunity to get them the right data at the right time. Real-time results are critical, but raw speed isn't everything: you need power and flexibility to react to changes on the fly. Come learn how market-leading enterprises are using Couchbase as their speed layer for ingestion, incremental view and presentation layers alongside Kafka, Spark and Hadoop to liberate their data lakes.

In this talk we'll examine how Event Streaming affects the way we build software architectures and applications both now and in the future. We'll examine how the event driven model encourages new reactive powerful designs. We’ll show you how to provide agile data access to enable your data driven transformation. We’ll also explain how these notions can help to transform -without revolution- a product into a platform to host custom behavior/business in a serverless spirit via a symbiotic relationship with event stream processing. Event Streaming is fundamentally changing the way we approach data in contemporary applications. Come join the (r)evolution!

Learn what digital transformation means, and how Microsoft is helping customers and partners to transform their culture, products, customer relations and process with our Cloud + AI platform Azure. Will provide Microsoft Cloud + AI platform vision, principles to drive intelligence, both make your apps and services intelligent easily leveraging our Cognitive services: Vision, speech, language, search, etc. or the more sophisticated machine learning/deep learning customized AI algorithms. You will learn how companies like Uber, UPS, Carnival Maritime are using Microsoft AI to transform and digitalize their business and we will have an open discussion on how to implement AI in your business, where to start and key practical use cases for your organization.

In recent years, the need for more computing power has exploded, triggered by breakthroughs in machine learning, data mining, genetics, etc. For decades, the answer to speed up the microprocessors was to increase computing frequency. Since computing power started to plateau, manufacturers have used different means to increase the capabilities of their chips, such as adding additional cores to facilitate parallel computing, or hardware such as GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to accelerate specific algorithms, and lately FPGA or ASICs. In this talk you will learn how hardware is evolving and why conventional computing platforms are in the process of disappearing and being replaced with specialized architectures. The talk will cover several examples and outline several steps that organizations need to take in order to prepare themselves for these changes.
