The nature of blockchain is changing, and this change should be accompanied by an evolution of funds. According to research studies, people were more willing to donate money to a cause using cryptocurrency rather than money. Anonymous nature is a great support in cryptocurrency replacing traditional currency to help with philanthropy or businesses. Look at our the journey of developing crowdsourcing platform including integration process.

Predictions for 2020 promise us many connected devices per person, terabytes of data per second to process without including IoT connected dogs and cats. At some point, the Internet of Things will become the biggest source of data on the planet. And IoT can let the machines point out where the opportunities truly are. IoT is producing a big haystack of data right now.
Many organizations struggle to make sense of the enormous amounts of data. They collect and maintain a huge amount of human-oriented data associated with its customers including their preferences, purchases, personal information. Internet of Things is the data flowing between devices. To be able to find needles in this haystack you would need an artificial intelligence. In some years AI will be an essential part of any IoT system.

In reality, IoT solves the same simple problem for communication points as software architecture tries to solve for many years – distributed computing. Different nodes on difference machines try to communicate with each other as well different Microcomputers. These devices can report about their statuses and interact with the environment. The main focus of the talk is that C# could replace Java for small devices, e.g. Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Most of winning the battle is managing the fight! How do you get employers to buy into Developer Relations when it’s something new and unknown to the business? How do you make something ethereal to start with fit into known Agile processes within a business?
This talk is a walk through personal experiences of taking a product which had very little to do with the developer to execute a global strategy with leadership buy-in.
This is an honest assessment of how one company grew from one woman in technology to a growth strategy, involving everyone in social media activities, development and customer support.
During last 5 years, we established own agile style, where the main bases is a combination of a trust, a freedom, a thinking value, a sharing leads and of course DevRel focus. We would like to share it with the audience, receive a feedback and start discussions about the future improvements.

Internet of Things is mainly about connected devices embedded in our everyday environment. Typically, ‘interaction’ in the context of IoT means interfaces which allow people to either monitor or configure IoT devices. Some examples include mobile applications and embedded touchscreens for control of various functions at homes and offices.
In some cases, humans are an explicit part of the scenario, such as in those cases where people are monitored by IoT devices. The main focus is to show what kinds of interaction techniques could provide IoT to be more human-oriented, what is the role of automation and interaction?

It’s no secret that governments of different countries hire technology specialists for testing the security of own infrastructure and foreign targets. High salaries, recruitment campaigns, strange vacancies on job posting sites advertise an ethical hacking as the perfect career choice for those interested in problem-solving. How governments search for experienced programmers, who are able to help with the challenge of building reliable systems at a worldwide scale?

IoT is converting the objects that surround us every day into a community of information that will increase the quality of our lives. From small devices to houses, the IoT is leading more and more things into the digital fold every day.
Sensors are necessary to turn billions of objects into data-generating “things” that can report on their status, and in some cases, interact with their environment.
Advances in AI and the widespread availability of sensors have provided with powerful applications that allow us to perform daily tasks by analyzing the huge amount of data.
In the light of this, a new paradigm of combining AI and IoT has emerged, in which the quality of life could be increased through the use of big data and cloud technology.
The talk includes a lot of real working IoT use cases and their potential impact of a combination IoT with AI. Their focus direct towards a more practical improvement of the quality of our life.

The IoT market is growing rapidly. Mobile connectivity is becoming a key success factor for many IoT projects, as most use cases are designed for mobility. But even for scenarios with immobile endpoints it often makes sense to include mobile connectivity as a fallback option. Especially for time-critical services.
The proposal idea is the multi-network sim card. It provides the network coverage wherever devices may roam. Integrating 400+ radio networks in 160+ countries all around the world. SIM cards and endpoints can be easily managed in real-time via the intuitive user-interface. Or directly from the customer’s software application via an easy-to-integrate API.

An implicit goal of developing applications is to increase the quality of life or the general well-being of society. A connectivity is becoming an integral part of IoT projects.
What would you think if you have the connectivity wherever your IoT sensor is, your own independent cloud-based network, extremely scalable and globally distributed. Nowadays SIM cards and endpoints can be easily managed in real-time via an easy-to-integrate API. The developing process, security issues, and key features will be discussed together with lots of real working IoT use cases.
