The Browser and Beyond. April 3rd 2008
Symposium Hall, Edinburgh
Enjoy a day of the web's best speakers discussing the future of information online.
Sessions
The sessions at The Highland Fling 2008 - Web Standards in Scotland are going to be a little bit different this year as we have a great line up but also a little twist on the day. On top of each of the sessions we are going to be having live interviews on stage along with what we hope will be a very open platform for discussion with the audience.
The schedule below will be subject to change as we finalise the finer points so make sure and come back to check up on the details for the day.
