• Gerard McBreen - Adobe Flex and the Digital Circle
• Lee Monroe - Usability in Web Design
• Paul May - Staying Relevant in Technology
• Florian Hollerweger - Pure Data & Gem
• Simon McCartney - Rapid Web Service in Rails
• Daniel McLaughlin - Nagios Server and Network Monitoring

Afternoon Sessions

• Nick Fitzsimons - New Music Economy

• Andrew Gribben - Parallel World of Speciality Coffee
• Brian O’Neill - Successful Freelancing
