  Champion & Founder & Software Engineer\, Adassa\n\nCreating an excell
 ent voice experience is a key component\, but it's not sufficient. In 
 addition to covering content and conversation design\, Ilarna will sha
 re what it takes to drive marketing and discovery for Alexa and Google
  Assistant.\n\nTalk 2 - Deborah Dahl\, Principal\, Conversational Tech
 nologies\n\nToday's virtual assistant platforms\, such as Amazon Alexa
 \, Google DialogFlow and Microsoft LUIS\, offer highly capable and eas
 y to use development tools. Yet the success of any application critica
 lly depends on the upfront design process that happens even before dev
 elopers start using the tools. We have to answer such questions as the
  users' motivations for using the application in the first place (inte
 nts) and the information that the application needs from the users for
  the system to address these goals (entities). This information will f
 eed directly into the development process. At a high level\, this desi
 gn process is independent of specific development platforms\, but each
  platform has limitations that have to be taken into account in the de
 sign process. This talk will review strategies for designing the inten
 ts and entities needed for scalable and maintainable applications. It 
 will also discuss accommodating designs to the limitations of popular 
 platforms.\n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nIlarna Nche\n\nIlarna is an award winni
 ng Alexa Champion and Bixby Premier Developer from Adassa Innovations.
