During this workshop Ekaterina will introduce to us her passion – Machine Learning.
If there is one thing you need to know about it, it is that Machine Learning is cool and helps improve our lives – both professionally and in personal terms. Thanks to this workshop you will discover that machine learning is something you have experienced already but you just do not know you have (yet!)
What you can expect from this workshop is the following:
· Where it is actually used? (e.g.: banking, medicine, Web, Business …)
· Where it can be applied?
· What are the 3 types of automated learning we need to know about?
· What is Data and what’s the relation with Machine Learning?
· Who are the data scientists of the future we often hear about? Who can we hire to work on Machine Learning projects?
· What are the tools out there for Machine Learning?
I am smart-technology-savvy enthusiast and world-wonder explorer. I love public speaking and I follow the pass-if-forward principle as a friend of mine showed me a while ago. Ah, almost forgot – and the KISS principle. In case you insist on knowing more: at the current moment I am settled in Luxembourg, where I am a Machine Translation expert. To see more about my professional and academic life, I will be happy if you visit my Linked-In profile page Ekaterina Stambolieva.
The Impactory’s Apéro Pitch & Match-me-up event is the chance for members to present their projects in a front of a friendly audience in order to get feedback. The following networking gives you the opportunity to make new connections and move into action.
Apéro Pitch with The Belgian Brewery
Innovative concept to offer to your employees, partners or clients with this beer making kit (in 6 easy steps) that allows you to brew beer with friends or colleagues and to have your own house brewed beer. Success guaranteed with www.thebelgianbrewery.com!
For centuries, beer has been brewed in almost every home. It is only with the advent of the modern era that knowledge was lost. Yet it requires little space and gives a much better beer than household names one. The whole concept has been designed to fit the little space available in existing flats .
And what is better than saying ” I did it myself! ”
Thus was born www.thebelgianbrewery.com!, website of the eponymous company that markets all beer brewing kits to make yours at home.
Even Barack Obama brews his own beer in the White House !
Exclusivity of this kit is the ability to brew the same beer as the Honey Ale Beer brewed by Barack Obama at the White House.
Each Kit offers 15 beers of 33cl and each refill purchased afterwards can make you produce the same amount of beer.
Currently we have 7 different types of beers: Trappist, White, Blonde, Amber, Ginger, the Honey Barack Obama or Gueuze .
When you use the same grain (malt, hops, yeast) that the best breweries in the world, you can only brew a good beer … home!

Client communication – a deep dive – session V Theory U in market segmentation
Wednesday, 30 April 2014, 12:15 – 14:00
With Isabel Page & Lisa Francis-Jennings
Client communication – U in market segmentation will enable you, through the process model of Theory U, to address this challenge. Market segmentations are the techniques used to attract the right customer. While, in theory, there may be ‘ideal’ market segments, every organization engaged in a market must develop different ways of imagining market segments, and create product differentiation strategies to exploit these segments, to gain, at least, a temporary commercial advantage.
Lisa Francis-Jennings, an expert in sales and marketing education, will once again be joining us and sharing invaluable analytic tools to
• reduce risk in making the decision where, when, how, and to whom a product, service, or brand will be marketed;
• increase marketing efficiency by directing effort specifically toward the designated segment effectively and consistent with that segment’s characteristics; and
• find common dimensions that will allow you to view individuals as larger, profitable segments.
We will, of course, develop a personal action plan.
If you have any queries about the session, do contact me at .

This experience, together with her role in executive coaching and organisational development for diverse public and private global organisations such as Fidelity Investments, Spacelabs, Xing, the European Central Bank, the European Investment Bank, the EU Court of Justice and Henri Tudor, has convinced Isabel of the need for deep change in the practice of leadership and management. Introduced to Otto Scharmer’s work at MIT through the director of Centro Ecológico, Akumal during a voluntary consulting partnership in Mexico, Isabel has been engaged since 2010 in virtual learning with Otto through the Presencing Institute and personally in Paris and Boston. She teaches this work to students and professionals in the context of the Social Enterprise Course, part of the Certificate of Sustainability delivered by the University of Luxembourg.

Bring one ingredient or a small dish to share with everyone and have good talks with great people! The salad lunch is an informal way to get together and get to know each other better. It’s also a fun metaphor of collaboration: each ingredient brought by each person tastes better when mixed up together.
Amenez un ingrédient ou un petit plat à partager avec tous et menez de bonnes conversations avec des gens exceptionnels! Ce déjeuner est une manière informelle de se rassembler et d’apprendre à se connaître. C’est également une métaphore de la collaboration: chaque ingrédient amené et ajouté à la salade a meilleur goût lorsqu’il est mélangé aux autres.
