The Year in Internet Analysis: 2024

Smart adoption and implementation of new technologies hinge on your ability to communicate effectively with decision makers. You need to first understand their unique mindset, and then present bottom-line data and recommendations in their “language.” In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to do both.

The Why:  Ineffective communication is making the smart adoption of AI and other new technologies challenging. Think of it as a “Mars and Venus” conversation, where, for example:

The business hears about AI solutions in the media and wants it, without fully understanding its capabilities.
Technical specialists struggle to explain what AI can do for the business and how best to implement it.
Frustration grows, time and money is wasted, projects don’t meet deadlines, businesses fail to meet their goals, and budgets are exceeded.
 
The Solution:  Improve communication between technologists and decision makers by following our 5-step approach to communicating clearly and effectively.

The Why:
Too many brilliant ideas fail because decision makers just don’t “get it.” Why? Because the presenter didn’t share the key information in the first 60 seconds. This masterclass changes all of that.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand the mindset of business leaders.
- Know the 4 key elements to include in the first minute of your talk.
- Learn a proven model that ensures the decision makerslisten.

Target Audience: Mid- to senior-level technology experts who need to drive the smart adoption and implementation of AI and other new technologies by effectively communicating with decision makers.

How To Pitch a Tech Idea to Get a ‘Yes”

Communicating complex technical solutions in the business world where many people are already suffering from information overload can be challenging. It is crucial that content experts become more audience-centric and visually minded when presenting. If you are looking for engagement and buy-in, you need visuals that “speak” to your audience.

Our Solution: Become more strategic, streamlined, and visually oriented to increase engagement, comprehension, and effective decision making.

Three Key Takeaways: Learn the importance of:
- Creating visuals an audience understands
- Translating dense data into clear, memorable messaging
- Making complex information accessible through strong visuals
 
Target Audience: Attend this talk to understand how you and your teams can learn to produce clear, concise content that is visually appealing and memorable.

Harness The Power of Visuals to Make Complex Data Clear and Engaging

Inspiring Inclusion

Service provider networks are getting larger and more complex. Performance expectations are going up and downtime expectations are going down. Meanwhile, the network team is still tiny – what an enterprise might call a “skeleton crew!”

How can lean teams tackle the chaos of network monitoring – pulling data about diverse CDNs and cloud providers, and correlate that with traditional network data like interface status and flow/traffic? All the while keeping costs low and ensuring high quality digital experiences for subscribers and customers? Can AI meaningfully contribute to this challenge or is it just hype?

Join us on Feb 29 at 10am ET, 3pm GMT, 4pm CET as we explore the challenges service providers face and what to do about it. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• How AI/ML have been used in Network Observability historically
• How to use large language models to accelerate troubleshooting today
• How to collect and analyze data from diverse sources
• What Kentik’s newly launched SaaS NMS adds to the picture
• Benefits of Streaming Telemetry with a live demonstration
