Web Pros

Joseph Steiner – Principle Systems Engineer

The session will describe the AI Moment, Penn State's strategy to embrace the AI moment, and the role of PS IT staff in supporting the strategy.

Join us for an optional 2‑hour AI Studio Agent Hack-a-thon Session where IT pros of all experience levels team up to turn ideas into working solutions that improve operations. We’ll kick things off with a quick, practical overview of agent fundamentals to get everyone aligned and ready to build. Then it’s hands-on: teams will identify a real challenge, design and create their solution, and bring it to life in short, fast-paced demos. Expect collaboration, creativity, and a little friendly competition along the way.

In this session, I’ll share how I’ve incorporated Adobe Express into my web and digital content workflow to streamline design tasks, maintain consistency, and support accessibility goals. I’ll discuss practical examples of creating and using shared templates, organizing lightweight design assets, and integrating Express into existing web and marketing processes. The session will also highlight built‑in accessibility checks and how they help reinforce inclusive design practices with minimal overhead.

Presentation and discussion around how to reduce being a CAVE leader (Conventionally Against Virtually Everything) when getting feedback, and criticism, understanding emotional intelligence, leading with compassion, and dealing with team dynamics.

In the midst of the dynamic sessions and networking opportunities at the Tech Pros + Web Pros Conference, attendees can sometimes find themselves overwhelmed by the constant activity. To provide a refreshing change of pace, I propose designating a conference room as a dedicated board game retreat station. This space will serve as a sanctuary for participants to step away from the busy environment, offering them a chance to unwind, reconnect with colleagues, or enjoy some quiet time alone.
