opportunities for questions, discussion and networking. Seminars typically

consist of 3 or 4 speakers who will usually be drawn from a range of

backgrounds, e.g. a researcher, a developer and a practitioner, in order to

give a variety of viewpoints on the same subject. Some seminars will also

include hands-on sessions where delegates can test out relevant technologies.
