![This [emotional] labor requires one to induce or
suppress feeling in order to sustain the outward
countenance that produces the proper state of
mind in others[. ...] Beneath the difference
between physical and emotional labor there lies
a similarity in the possible cost of doing the
work: the worker can become estranged or
alienated from an aspect of self - either the
body or the margins of the soul - that is used to
do the work.

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.AI vs Human Writing: Can You Tell the Difference?

Have you ever struggled to read a tiny label on a medicine box or tried to navigate a confusing website? Now imagine if every learning experience felt that wayevery single day.
For millions of people living with disabilities, poorly designed content isnt just frustrating. Its a barrier to growth. Inclusive learning is about fixing that. And today, AI is helping us build digital learning thats smarter, kinder, and accessible to everyone.
Accessible learning increases engagement, retention, performance, and inclusivity for everyone. Inclusive design is simply better design.MuleSoft for AgentForce : Topic Center and API Catalog

In this presentation, we want to explore powerful data integration and preparation for Machine Learning. FME is known for its ability to manipulate and transform geospatial data, connecting diverse data sources into efficient and automated workflows. By integrating FME with Machine Learning techniques, it is possible to transform raw data into valuable insights faster and more accurately, enabling intelligent analysis and data-driven decision making.OpenPOWER Foundation & Open-Source Core Innovations

Gordon Cooper, Principal Product Manager at Synopsys, presents the Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOptimized Mapping to the Enhanced NPX6 Neural Processing Unit IP tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Cooper discusses emerging trends in generative AI for edge devices and the key role of transformer-based neural networks. He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI.
Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.Raman Bhaumik - Passionate Tech Enthusiast

Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOpt...

This [emotional] labor requires one to induce or suppress feeling in order to sustain the outward countenance that produces the proper state of mind in others[. ...] Beneath the difference between physical and emotional labor there lies a similarity in the possible cost of doing the work: the worker can become estranged or alienated from an aspect of self - either the body or the margins of the soul - that is used to do the work.
