As we hear more and more about Machine Learning, few web developers have actually had the opportunity to use it in production. It seems like you have to have years of Data Science, Statistics or AI education to even understand how to start. While some prerequisite education is needed to get you started, it's not as much as you might think and there are collections of libraries to help along the way. This session will give a brief introduction to Machine Learning, delve into the libraries that make it possible and discuss our lessons learned from evolving our machine learning efforts from prototype to production at SalesLoft.
Role: Keynote Speaker, Machine Learning for All
Our engineering workflow revolves around our code review process. Code reviews are more than just a way to make sure we don’t introduce new bugs into the codebase. They have become pillars of our team’s engineering culture—ensuring code quality, encouraging collaboration and providing valuable teaching and learning opportunities.
We’ll look at the ways your code review process can define, reflect and reinforce your team's culture. These methods can be useful whether you're building and managing engineering teams at startups, large companies or even open source communities. We’ll then walk through the process with actual Pull Requests and identify best practices for more productive code reviews.

Whether you are giving it or receiving it, performance reviews are stressful. And not just because you are being assessed, but because it reflects on your relationship with your team and workplace as well as asking the existential question “What am I doing with my life?” Let’s hear from a number of experienced current and former engineering managers about performance reviews and career growth. We will discuss goals, progress, feedback, and the manager-report relationship.

Role: Speaker, Building Interfaces for Virtual and Augmented Reality
Virtual reality (VR) is an amazing medium that helps create immersive stories for nearly any industry, from journalism to manufacturing to gaming. Virtual reality hardware systems like Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear and others are starting to making VR a household name. On the software side, most of the activity is confined to native applications, but the web can bring major advantages to VR that only increase the accessibility of this platform, including experiencing VR without downloading and installing apps and allowing seamless connections from one experience to another via hyperlinks. This session will examine the technologies bringing VR to the web including Google’s VR view & VR shell, Mozilla VR and WebVR, a vendor--vendor-independent web standards for VR.
