Anatomy of an AI Hackathon – Nathan Cashmore
How Waitrose harnessed the innovation and creativity of cross functional teams to run an AI Hackathon from concept to event in just 8 Weeks! How we did it, what we achieved, and most importantly, what we learned!

Config-driven layouts for faster experiments – Owen Nicol
Over the last few years we’ve migrated the front-end of johnlewis.com from a single monolith application to Micro Front-Ends. We ended up with 7 teams building different Product Details Pages. This is the story of how we made that better – much better!
– Owen is a Principal Engineer at the John Lewis Partnership where he leads engineering for Front-end and Mobile Apps. He has two lovely children and an annoying dog.
