I didn't bother with any of the talks as none really inspired me to bother. Generally the show was "ok", it's a trade show, it's lots and lots of overpriced .Net CMS solution providers, who talk down at you if you mention a project under £100K or hosting providers. It really is a very "old" format, I've helped man clients stands in the past, and it's amusing to see the same old ideas still in existiance (think big flashy stands with a racing car, girls in skimpy outfits, etc etc). I did meet a few interesting people/companies that I'll follow up so it wasn't all bad. If it wasn't for my meeting, I wouldn't of made a special effort.
