When the San Francisco Giants won the 2010 World Series, the fans were a major factor, and Giants Senior VP and CIO Bill Schlough and his team worked hard to make sure the tech-savvy AT&T Park crowd not only had a good time but could also tell the rest of the world about it. That meant a big focus on mobility; not an easy task when your customers show up 40,000 or so at a time in a confined space in a city bustling with mobile consumers. Schlough will share the work the Giants have done, and he'll discuss other innovations, like dynamic pricing, which has enabled the team to profit from its recent on-field success like never before.

Keynote: Paul DePodesta, VP, Player Development And Scouting, New York Mets On Beyond Moneyball: The Art Of Winning An Unfair Game
Currently vice president of player development and scouting for the New York Mets and a former GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, DePodesta first made his mark as part of the Oakland A's organization in the early 2000s, where he teamed with GM Billy Beane to use a highly analytical approach called "sabermetrics" to assemble a competitive baseball team on a shoestring budget. Their work later became the subject of the Michael Lewis bestseller Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, the movie version of which will hit theaters on Sept. 23.
Paul DePodesta helped build the Oakland Athletics baseball team into contenders by developing new metrics that better determined a player's true value. His advice can help business managers.

Anatomy Of A Zero-Day Attack
How would your company respond to a highly sophisticated attack on its IT infrastructure?

In this session, the PNNL's CIO shared an insider's perspective on how the exploit unfolded and lessons learned that can be applied by other organizations.
