Node Summit 2013 – Using Labs to Innovate Within a Corporation

DIRECTV, like most large organizations, faces barriers to innovation. How do you encourage progress while maintaining service to 36 million customers? Our solution is a labs team that works closely with production to understand current and future opportunities. This partnership sparked the ongoing re-imagination of directv.com in node.js. Our teams are here to discuss that project, other initiatives, and how you can use the ‘labs’ concept to push your own ideas forward.

SPEAKERS:
Matt Savino, Application Architect, DIRECTV
Israel Shortman, Software Engineer, DIRECTV
Giles Tamplin, Software Engineer, DIRECTV
