European Infrastructure Finance Summit 2018

European Infrastructure Finance Summit 2018 will bring together Europe’s top infrastructure developers, infrastructure fund managers, institutional investors such as insurance companies and pension funds, lenders, policy advisers, government & European Union officials, and advisory firms to discuss the latest business-critical issues, challenges and opportunities facing the European infrastructure industry.

This market leading two-day conference features lively panel discussions, keynote presentations and industry interviews, as well as a number of must-attend networking opportunities.

Why attend?

EIFS Paris will determine whether in 2018 the new project pipeline’s tentative revival is gaining momentum and if foreboding signs of a brownfield market bubble are being played out.

This year’s conference will examine the trends driving the new greenfield opportunities such as the imminent liberalisation of the continent’s rail sector, EU moves to kick start the often thorny area of social infrastructure and how the breakneck speed of technological change has created an entirely new area of core infrastructure in the data storage sector.

It will also look beyond Europe’s traditionally popular markets to discover the new opportunities in its eastern markets and beyond, asking whether the time has come to reconsider the risk traditionally associated with deals in these countries.

EIFS will also be a forum to take a hard look at whether in the face of rising valuations investors have been pulling back from core infrastructure investments in Europe and the riskier brownfield investment strategies that have emerged in recent years which pushed the definition of infrastructure to its limit.

Private equity and traditional infrastructure funds will share their insights on how they are approaching this market and managing their infrastructure assets to take these developments into account while ensuring that higher yield targets are met.

EIFS is the event you cannot miss!

This year’s EIFS will be a stimulating forum in which you can find new opportunities in what is still one of the most exciting infrastructure investing regions.

It will also offer an unmissable networking forum where you can meet the industry’s most senior practitioners, investors and developers as they discuss their most pressing concerns.

Service Design Global Conference 2018

Being held since 2007 and meanwhile attracting more than 800 thinkers, doers and leaders SDGC is the premier conference for service design.

Great minds say ideas are easy, it’s implementation that’s the real challenge

For service design, it is no different. Journeys, visions, and blueprints help us understand the end-to-end customer experience, identify opportunities, and provide the north star to guide teams and organizations.

How do we ensure the design of the service is what gets delivered and makes a real impact in the world?

Whether you are in the private or public sector, moving quickly from insight to execution is imperative to achieving meaningful and measurable results.

Join Service Design Global Conference this year, to explore Designing to Deliver, how the professionals move from service design methods and tools to delivery, management, measurement, and other emerging topics at the SDGC October 11-12, 2018 in Dublin, Ireland, with pre-conference events starting October 10.

The annual conference is the community’s highlight of the year and sells out fast

On three days – two full conference days plus special pre-events the day before – the community is not only discussing the most relevant service design topics but also exploring the latest service design trends.

To keep the truly international spirit of SDGC the conference is moved to another inspiring country and host city every year.

The lineup is growing

This year’s response to Call for speakers was overwhelming and we will be announcing the speakers as we make our way through them. Get to know our Keynote Speakers, Speakers & Workshop Facilitators and find out how they will take you on a journey to Designing to Deliver.

ESP Europe Regional Conference 2018

As the threats of climate change are becoming more noticeable, the importance of ecosystem services and natural capital as our ’life insurance’ is gaining more acknowledgement inside and outside the academic world.

The contributions of ecosystems to human well-being is essential but our understanding of ecosystem functions and services is still incomplete and mostly theoretical, whereas the demand from both policymakers and practitioners for guidance on how to implement ecosystem services thinking is growing.

Ecosystem services in a changing world: moving from theory to practice

Implementation of the ecosystem services concept into everyday decision making and practice is crucial to achieving the societal and economic paradigm shift needed for the transition to a more sustainable society, safeguarding biodiversity and restoring natural ecosystems.

To accelerate this transition the ESP Regional Europe conference 2018 is organised under the theme: ‘Ecosystem services in a changing world: moving from theory to practice’.

You are invited to participate in this conference and join the keynote speeches selected around this theme, attend the over 40 break-out sessions, take part in the business day which includes a marketplace and business-oriented session and make use of the network opportunities.

This conference welcomes anyone interested in ecosystem services but especially focusses on the science-policy-practice nexus and uptake within Europe.

The ESP Europe Regional Conference is part of the bi-annual cycle of ESP regional conferences around the globe. ESP conferences are open to both ESP members and non-members.

ESP members receive significant reductions to the conference registration fee and other benefits, however. ESP conferences are structured around the themes of the many ESP Working Groups.

Business & Ecosystem Services

To improve science-policy-business collaboration and uptake of ecosystem services, ESP organises a one-day business track, aimed at business representatives and others, who are interested in ecosystem services.

This day (Thursday) will consist of a business-oriented keynote speech, a business related session and a market place.

SPE London Conference 2018

London is at the heart of the global financial sector. Its prime location and investor profile attract international oil and gas companies seeking to raise capital.

The SPE London Annual Conference in conjunction with the SPE London section leverages the city’s unique position to foster a connection between members of the oil and gas community and the financial sector.

Value Transformation in Energy

The Annual London Conference will discuss the value transformation the industry was forced to take during the downturn and how the industry will need to transform further to stay competitive.

Some of the key learnings and transformations to be discussed include creative M&A transactions, disciplined capital allocation, cost effective operations, the ever increasing role of natural gas, and innovative technology deployment.

While it has been nearly four years since the crude oil downturn, the market is still on a path to recovery due to continued strong demand, modest production growth, and sharp inventory drawdowns.

However, the question of whether the recent oil price changes will be short-lived remains, knowing the recent trend that near-term oil futures trade at a premium to futures dated out further. How will the industry continue to add value?

Who attends?

The program is designed for a mix of technical, commercial, and financial professionals and investors to address key topical issues that each stakeholder faces while making business, investment, and policy decisions.

Reasons to attend

• Enhance your knowledge through sessions and conversation with peers
• Embrace new ideas from discussing key topics with senior executives and policymakers in the oil and gas industry and financial sector
• Increase your network by connecting with audiences from a wide energy spectrum

EuroIA Summit 2018

EuroIA is organised by volunteers all around Europe, with three co-chairs, an active committee and over 35 country ambassadors.

EuroIA is the leading Information Architecture (IA) and User Experience (UX) conference for Europe.

After travelling through Europe for the past 14 years for its 2018 edition EuroIA goes to Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, for the first time.

EuroIA has travelled through Europe over the years: Brussels, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, Paris, Prague, Amsterdam and most recently, in Stockholm.

2018 theme: Humanogy

People and technology both share one common trait. Both have memory, capacity and ability to think.

As technology expands and connects the human race into the global digital network, our physical world is quickly merging with a digital world where every action and movement can be tracked, stored and analysed inside a massive digital universe that never sleeps.

What will this convergence mean to man? What will our future hold in this unyielding digital age?

As user experience designers and information architects, we spend much of our time thinking about the relationship between technology and humans from a social, economic, historical, and technological perspective. Furthermore, we continuously strive to enhance the human aspect with groundbreaking technologies.

With organisations and social enterprises finally recognising the value of user experience and information architecture, we have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact. Now is our time.

Join us at EuroIA 2018 as it discusses the symbiosis between humans and technology, and how we can harness it to make a real difference in the world.

Milestones for the community

Having such a long-standing relationship with the Information Architecture and User Experience community, EuroIA has seen and hosted, some of the defining moments in the progression of our industry and the way we work.

Doing so, it embraced topics from user research to testing and analysis, content modelling, creative workshops or skills management.

INDUSTRY Product Conference 2018

Over 3 days, 1,000 attendees from over 30 countries will learn from renowned product leaders and share the latest methods, tools, and frameworks that they use to build, launch and scale world-class software products.

The premier annual conference for software product managers

Building world-class software products is hard. At INDUSTRY you will see how others manage product in different environments, from fast-paced startups to complex large enterprises, and learn how to:

• Better evaluate the impact of your work
• Validate opportunities more efficiently
• Build things you know people will use
• Optimally prioritize features you ship
• Get more people to use your product
• Level-up your skills and enhance your career

Keynote speaker BJ Novak

BJ Novak, a writer, actor, tech entrepreneur and comedian best known for his work on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning comedy “The Office”, will share his approach in creating wildly creative and successful products.

And while a television script might seem to be much different than a software product, BJ will show that there’s more in common than we think.

Why attend?

• Packed agenda

From the main stage, hear inspirational talks from the creator of the Lean Canvas Ash Maurya, product discovery coach Teresa Torres, and many more.

Then enjoy 12+ more sessions on the breakout stages with Facebook Product Manager Josh Twist, Asana Head of Product Management Jackie Bavaro, Amplitude CEO Spenser Skates, and others.

There, speakers are interviewed and attendees have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss with others the merits and applications of what was presented.

• 1,000 product people
