Creating a sound to accompany a taste with Hugo & Victor 🍫 - Places are limited!
In keeping with the theme of the Summit, Tech.Rocks is offering you an effective break, in the sense that you'll continue to learn even while you're relaxing! Ircam Amplify offers you the chance to experience the sound of chocolate: an innovation resulting from a collaboration with Hugo & Victor and the expertise of Ircam's Perception and Sound Design laboratory (CNRS, Sorbonne University & Ministry of Culture). During this 15-minute sound break, you will have the opportunity to taste the sound of Hugues Pouget's beggar, the master chocolatier at Hugo & Victor, and Ircam Amplify will explain how a methodology developed by Ircam's research has found its way into a very concrete multi-sensory application.

Is efficiency a good thing?
We live in a golden age of efficiency. Our modern cloud native applications have tiny footprints. Our infrastructure is now code. Everything is automated, even creative endeavours like writing and artwork. And yet. Despite all the optimisation, despite all the automation, many of us feel unproductive - and it’s worse than that. Busywork hasn’t gone away, our systems are stretched so thin any disturbance destabilises them, our people are burning out, and IT consumes more resources than ever before. What’s going on? Was efficiency the wrong goal, or are we just doing it wrong?

AI & handicap: progress or exclusion?
AI is much in the news, with the appearance of multiple AI-based tools (for example: ChatGPT, DALLE and Midjourney). But when we're disabled or in a handicap situation, does it really change our lives or, on the contrary, isolate us even more? Is the emergence of AI revolutionizing our everyday accessibility?

Leadership at scale: detecting weak signals!
Is it possible to increase the impact of your team through leadership? And when distance learning comes into the equation, what are the best practices and routines to put in place? How can you detect the weak signals in your teams to anticipate change and maximise efficiency? 20 minutes of discussion with Antonin Gaunand and Olivier Bonnet

Feedback on several generative AI projects from product to production
Based on the experience of projects in production, we will discuss common mistakes and best practices to ensure the successful implementation of generative AI. We will address the differences to be integrated into the product approach, performance measurement, safety issues and cost optimisation.

Managing a massive scale incident
On March 8, 2023 Datadog experienced a massive global outage. In this talk, we will share the trigger for the incident and why it was a massive effort to recover from. We’ll cover the lessons we learned from this event and how we ran the incident response itself, successfully coordinating more than 500 engineers over 2+ days of continual response, and how we built an engineering organization capable of that feat (with minimal heroism).

Digital Factory - CIO: the perfect duo?
To speed up digital transformation issues, companies often set up a Digital Factory alongside the IT department. It doesn't seem to work all that well, wherever you look. At Bpifrance, we've also got this hell of a team: and that means it's as good as it is complicated. Let us tell you where we stand?
