A new breed of hacker is emerging with powerful tools and programmable components to create smarter products. We will look at the shortcuts in a product���s lifecycle and how this changes everything about the way our agency���s clients have to look at NPD and the way that we work with them. David Caygill Future15 | Advanced | DIY, Hacker + Maker | #hackingNPD This session will explain what role did the social media play in Russian protest movement and why it didn't turn out as well as the Arab Spring. But while Facebook and Twitter didn't dethrone Putin or save Pussy Riot from jail, it has indeed changed Russian society a lot and you'll see how. Artem Gordin Future15 | Advanced | Community + Activism | #socialrus Open-Source Empathy: Humans as Dynamic Systems Human beings are advanced dynamic systems. Consequently, we interface with each other in desirable and undesirable ways.My case studies shared in this panel reveal patterns in the resistance to interpersonalconnection. By considering the parallels between the uncertainty of human connection and the way that dynamic media systems work, I���d like to share my findings on what it means to be human.

But it's not just companies that stand to benefit. Think about all the data that you personally generate. The number of ways you can capture and benefit from your own "big data" are growing every day.

This session outlines a framework at the intersection of design, technology and business for the journey towards Trillions. Mickey McManus Solo | Advanced | WTF + Beyond | #tcommerce 12:45 PM Room 615AB World's Longest Barrel of Monkeys Chain Like any other large-scale project, Breaking the Guinness World Record for the Longest Barrel of Monkeys chain was not easy. At various points every element broke down: the venue backed out, we didn't raise enough money, Guinness didn't approve our claim, and we even lost half of the monkeys. I'll present my story as a case study in negotiation and community organizing. Parker Phinney Future15 | Beginner | Community + Activism | #monkeys 12:45 PM Room 616AB Making & Drawing: Comics in the DIY/Maker World Comics have often been used to describe technical material.

I've setup the dev shop at several startups, and there is a simple, obvious and sane way to get the job done. To be clear, this isn't fluffy pontification about "best practices": these are the actual steps I've followed in the past, and if I ever setup another dev shop, I'll use them again in the future. Scott Porad Future15 | Advanced | Design + Development | #DevSetUp 3:30 PM Room 616AB Biology of Weight: What Men Need to Lose the Gut About 35% of men are obese; another 35% overweight.
