Inclusion doesn't just happen. It has to be intentionally and continuously cultivated. In this session, we'll discuss the ways we can all be responsible for building communities with an inclusion-first mindset. I'll describe my lessons learned and walk through a framework for optimizing for inclusion.

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 at SalesLoft 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 community's culture. These methods can be useful whether you're building and managing open source communities, engineering teams at startups or even large, established companies. We’ll then walk through the process with actual Pull Requests and identify best practices for more useful code reviews.

Role: Speaker, Code Reviews, For the Culture

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.

As virtual and augmented applications become more widely used, developers of more traditional media, such as web and mobile platforms, may find themselves building nontraditional interfaces. Erica Stanley will offer an overview of the interaction patterns that work well in mixed-reality environments and shares techniques that can be integrated into new or existing applications.

Topics include:

• Gesture tracking in virtual environments
• Head and eye tracking
• Voice-based interactions
• Open source projects that build on and incorporate these patterns
• How to incorporate these patterns into your application
