Digital Discernment: Preparing Students and Educators for an AI-Driven World
Today's students and educators are navigating a digital world unlike any previous generation. From online scams and social engineering to misinformation, deepfakes, artificial intelligence, cyberbullying, and predatory online behavior, the challenges are growing more complex every day.
This session explores why digital discernment has become one of the most critical skills for the modern classroom. Rather than focusing solely on technology systems and cybersecurity tools, we will examine how educators, parents, and students can develop the ability to think critically, evaluate information, recognize digital threats, and make wise decisions in an increasingly connected world.
Participants will gain practical strategies for identifying online risks, understanding the impact of artificial intelligence on information credibility, and fostering responsible digital citizenship. The session also highlights how emerging technologies can be leveraged as powerful educational tools while helping students develop the judgment necessary to use them safely and effectively.
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for building digital awareness, strengthening critical thinking skills, and creating a culture of informed, responsible technology use both inside and outside the classroom.
AI Without the Hype: Practical Patterns for Building Human-Centered Business Automations
Track: Data & Cloud or Other
Session length: 50 minutes
Level: 100–200
Abstract: AI is everywhere, but most businesses are still struggling to turn it into practical, reliable workflows. This session gives developers a clear, real-world framework for building AI-powered automation that supports business operations without creating confusion, risk, or unnecessary complexity.
We will walk through common business process breakdowns, show where AI can actually help, and discuss patterns for designing useful automation around intake, qualification, routing, follow-up, reporting, and decision support. The focus will not be on chasing shiny tools, but on helping developers think like solution architects who can connect business needs to practical technical execution.
Attendees will leave with a simple repeatable model for identifying automation opportunities, mapping business workflows, avoiding common AI implementation mistakes, and building systems that are useful, maintainable, and human-centered.
What attendees will learn:
How to identify business processes that are good candidates for AI automation
How to map a workflow before building the technical solution
Common failure points in AI-driven business tools
Practical patterns for intake, routing, follow-up, and decision support
How developers can communicate AI solutions to non-technical stakeholders
Why this fits Denver Dev Day: This talk is designed for developers who want practical, applicable ways to think about AI, automation, and workflow design. It is intentionally level 100–200, accessible to a broad developer audience, and focused on real development techniques rather than hype.
Building Businesses That Scale: Systems, Processes, and Structure for Sustainable Growth
Building Businesses That Scale: Systems, Processes, and Structure for Sustainable Growth
Many businesses don't struggle because they lack ambition, talent, or opportunity. They struggle because growth begins to outpace the systems, processes, and structure required to support it.
In this practical and engaging session, business strategist and educator Craig Tomanini shares a proven framework for identifying operational bottlenecks, streamlining workflows, and creating scalable business foundations. Drawing from decades of experience in technology, process improvement, business operations, and entrepreneurship, Craig helps attendees understand how to move from reactive business management to intentional business design.
Participants will learn how to evaluate their current operations, identify hidden inefficiencies, document critical processes, and leverage technology and automation to improve consistency and performance. The focus is not on theory or complex business jargon, but on practical implementation strategies that can be applied immediately.
Attendees will leave with actionable tools, a clearer understanding of how scalable organizations operate, and a roadmap for building a business that can grow without sacrificing efficiency, customer experience, or peace of mind.
