SUMMARY:Free Intro to UX Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Curious about UX Design? Join us Wednesday September 14th for our Intro to UX Design Workshop! \nToday\, UX is playing an increasingly important role as a market differentiator for emerging companies. To be a competitive player in the market\, companies need to focus on creating a lasting experience around their product.\nIf you build something awesome\, more people will want to use it and keep using it. It’s what allows Apple to charge a premium and sell millions of iPhones\, iPads and Macbooks on launch day. It’s what allowed companies like Uber\, AirBnB and Tesla to disrupt the century old taxi\, hospitality and automotive industries. They completely altered the User Experience.\nOur workshop will teach important elements of UX Design. With the guidance of UX expert Jacqueline Stetson (see bio below)\, attendees will:\n• Explore UX research tools\n• Get an introduction to UX Design\n• Create buyer personas\n• Build concept wires on Pop.\nPlease bring your fully charged laptop with a downloaded version of Pop. \nMeet our instructor Jacqueline Stetson:\nJacqueline is the CEO and Founder of UX Gofer and User Experience Research and Design Consulting (UXRD). She has been doing user experience research and design since 1999. Her areas of expertise are user research\, product design\, and CX strategy.\nJacqueline currently spends her time building out UX Gofer\, a new UX tool that makes user experience research easier and faster. She also teaches UX and entrepreneur topics at universities\, incubators\, bootcamps\, and conferences.\nJacqueline has worked across industry verticals and technology platforms since 1999. Projects include companies from 1 person startups through to industry leaders like Microsoft\, Staples\, Fidelity Investments\, the Federal Reserve Bank\, JP Morgan Chase\, Novartis Pharmaceuticals\, Reebok\, Zumba Fitness\, Adidas\, MindBody Online\, and others.\nYou must RSVP to reserve your spot. Questions?

SUMMARY:Startup Sales 101
DESCRIPTION:In the startup world\, we’re typically taught just to wing it (pun intended)\, jump off the cliff\, and build wings on the way down.\nBut if you could learn to pick up on the signs\, the indicators that there’s a cliff up ahead\, and do research on how to quickly build those wings mid-flight\, the chances are that you would.\nAnd herein lies the challenge of the startup world. You hear it so many times from VC’s\, Angel Investors\, accomplished entrepreneurs\, CEOs\, etc. that it’s about the individual entrepreneur\, the team\, how effective they’re executing and selling their idea.\nHere you’ll learn the BASIC steps to start building a successful company through sales which will cover the following:\n t\nHow do you get your first client\n t\nWho do you hire & how to incentivize your rep\n t\nALWAYS be learning\n t\nProcesses (methodology\, development\, closing & more)\nQ&A and networking to follow\nPresenting the topic\, is Miles Varghese\, an accomplished Sales Executive for Octopi by Cetus Labs with over 4 years in the SaaS Sales industry.\nHis efforts helped skyrocket one of Miami’s staple startups into stardom which in turn assisted this city in establishing itself as a tech hub. Collapsing years of learning while working tirelessly to help expand LiveNinja\, Miles has mastered what it takes to build out sales processes\, assemble effective results-driven teams that ultimately create recurring revenue to early stage startup companies.\nYOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS THIS FREE EVENT. Be ready to take notes\, ask questions and have all the tools you’ll need to take over your industry.\nEvent Parking Instructions:\nInput this address into your GPS to avoid construction in front of our offices\, 90 SW 1st Street Miami\, FL 33130. Refer to link below for a visual representation of where event parking is located (adjacent to our building).\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/66tmclerls4rsai/EveningEventParking.png?dl=0\nOR: Get here via Metrorail or Metromover to Government Center or Miami Ave.\nInterested in learning more or have any questions?

SUMMARY:Distributed Machine Learning with HPCC Systems
DESCRIPTION:HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) Systems from LexisNexis is an open source massive parallel-processing computing platform that solves Big Data problems. Included in the platform is an extensible set of fully parallel Machine Learning and Matrix processing algorithms to assist with business intelligence; covering supervised and unsupervised learning\, document and text analysis\, statistics and probabilities\, and general inductive inference related problems. ECL\, the high level declarative data oriented programming language used with the HPCC Systems platform along with the associated Machine Learning toolkit\, offer effortless linear scalability across entire clusters. A set of fully parallel linear algebra operations\, written in ECL\, provides extensibility\, allowing for the quick implementation of new high level algorithms.\nThe speaker will present an overview of the existing capabilities and algorithms of the HPCC Systems platform and ECL language and share our latest developments in distributed machine learning and how to leverage the most appropriate algorithms to quickly extract knowledge from big data to help make critical decisions.\nOpen discussion to follow. Attendees will have a chance to win a Kindle Fire! Pizza and refreshments will be served.\nOur speaker Dr. Flavio Villanustre leads HPCC Systems\, and is also VP\, Technology for LexisNexis Risk Solutions. In this position\, he is responsible for Information and Physical Security\, overall platform strategy and new product development. Dr. Villanustre is also involved in a number of projects involving Big Data integration\, analytics\, machine learning and business intelligence. Prior to 2001\, Flavio served in a variety of roles at different companies including Infrastructure\, Information Security and Information Technology. In addition to this\, Dr. Villanustre has been involved with the open source community for over 15 years through multiple initiatives. Some of these include founding the first Linux User Group in Buenos Aires (BALUG) in 1994\, releasing several pieces of software under different open source licenses\, and evangelizing open source to different audiences through conferences\, training and education. Prior to his technology career\, Dr. Villanustre was a neurosurgeon.\nAgenda\n15 minutes – Welcome & Mingling\n60 minutes – Presentation\n15 minutes – Q&A / Open Discussion
