Friday 11th July
12.00pm – 12.30pm	Jason Laurent	Websense Business Development Manager	Security in a Web 2.0 World The Web is rapidly evolving and becoming more dynamic with interactive Web 2.0 applications. But it is also increasingly being used to launch a staggering variety of attacks. Malicious Web sites abound, and malware and crimeware are being embedded in innocent third-party sites. Phishing continues to evolve with more sophisticated and targeted attacks. Browser and operating system exploits are being used more frequently, including zero-day exploits used for spyware, crimeware, phishing, and keylogger installations. In this presentation we will explore examples of new threats and attacks specific to a Web 2.0 world, and look at the latest ways to protect your essential information.
12.30pm- 1.00pm	Dino Gallina Brendon Harslett B.Des Interior/Design and Green Building Council of Australia Accredited Professional	UCI Business Development UCI Business Development	The Healthy Office The Changing Office Environment – Going Green The office environment has changed dramatically over the last decade. The advent and advancement of technology, the environmental and green investment in workspace and social interaction within an office environment have increased dramatically. The workspace footprint has become smaller and more-flexible, the advancement in the internet and intranet technology has allowed the work environment to become varied. Gone are single closed-in offices. The future of the office environment has entered a new era. We will be discussing what changes that are happening within the office culture, discussing ergonomics, “Task Air” screens (clean air to your own space) and the ability to function within the possible 10 hour day expectation.
1.00pm – 1.30pm	Jeremy Poon Phillip Helmling	Vmware Corporate Account Manager Systems Engineer	Demistifying virtualization – the real benefits for smaller businesses This presentation will dispel much of the "hype" around Virtualisation and present you with the hard facts on how over 100,000 customers world-wide have benefited from the most widely deployed virtual infrastructure suite. We'll show you how virtualisation is able to slash the costs of your IT infrastructure, better enable disaster recovery, while streamlining the management of IT environments and delivering better service levels to your business. These benefits apply whether you have 3 people or 300.
1.30pm – 2.00pm	Robert Pregnell	Symantec Asia Pacific Regional Product Marketing Manager	Security Landscape Six-thousand, one hundred and ninety-three. A hugely significant number in the realm of malicious code protection. Why? What relevance does 6193 have to the latest trends in today’s rapidly-changing threat landscape? Find out – in real-world terms – what impact this is having on the products we’re all using to safeguard ourselves against hackers, viruses, and theft of confidential information. Robert Pregnell, Senior Technical Product Manager for Symantec in Asia Pacific and Japan, will discuss the latest finding from Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report, and the technologies and techniques available to us all to allow us to connect and transact safely in an increasingly connected world. This session is bound to provide a few surprises and open your eyes to some startling evidence observed in the threat report, which is the most comprehensive and widely respected of its kind.
2.00pm – 2.30pm	Jeremy Poon Phillip Helmling	Vmware Corporate Account Manager Systems Engineer	Cost Effective – Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Have you ever wondered what would happen if a power outage caused the main computer running your business to fail how your business would cope. What about if someone were to steal one of your desktop computers or laptops is there information that could never be restored?

This session describes how you can simplify your IT computing environment, improve the service whilst also reducing operational costs.
3.00pm – 3.30pm	Nicholas Coomans Mark Montgomery	Senior Technical Consultants Millennium Technology	The Changing needs of small business and how technology must keep up. The traditional office environment is a thing of the past. Some of us don’t even have an office, we are completely mobile or we clock in each day in our own home! How has technology kept up with our changing needs? How have we adapted and utilised new technologies available to us?
