SUMMARY:Behavioral Science & Chicago Bulls: Marketing Lessons from a Sports Brand
DESCRIPTION:Why do “fans” make the choices that they make\, and how can organizations use this information to create a better “fan” experience?\nBig data and analytics represent the current frontier in many businesses\, including the business of sports\, because these tools answer the question “what is happening”\, and to some extent “how is it happening.” But how do we find out “why” something is happening? Behavioral science represents the next frontier in helping us answer “why” questions.\nKevin Brilliant\, a behavioral science practitioner at the Chicago Bulls\, will join us to talk about the role that behavioral science can play in shaping the next frontier in business through the lens of a global sports brand.\nRSVP and more details here:\nhttps://actiondesignmiami-chicagobulls.eventbrite.com/

SUMMARY:Streaming Architecture - Kafka and CQRS
DESCRIPTION:Nowadays\, Batching is not the first choice when we think about getting data into our systems. Streaming is becoming the default mechanism for these kind of tasks. However\, streaming requires fine grain architecture to maintain everything inmutable\, a important role played by the CQRS pattern. This time we will see how streaming technologies\, such as Apache Kafka\, integrate well CQRS and how we segregate our system writes from our reads. We will explain how we can create diverse read models from a single inmutable and consistent model while maintaining clients of each model separated from each other without compromising performance.
