The submissions have come in, and the final line-up has been decided.  Many thanks to all who sent in their ideas and talks. Congratulations to the following speakers who have been selected to present at the inaugural Unsheffield USE Stimulus night on the event theme Future Users of Cool Technology.

1. Saul Cozens: Independent mobile workers
   Putting the users before the technology to find the cool application.
2. Sam Easterby-Smith: Not necessarily new-tech or high-tech…
   A brief analysis of who the future users of cool technology might be. Where are we now and what that ultimately boils down to.
3. Helen Milner: Swap shops
   21st century tools to bring people together to make our communities better places to live.
4. Dave Mee: Holistic engagement
   The web has given us a true Public Sphere. Organisations that understand this can create a feedback loop of engagement and value. An overview of approaches, ways of approaching individuals, and closing the loop in a non-zero-sum relationship.
5. Chris Dymond: Ubiquity
   What is meant by ‘ubiquity’? How does technology spread, develop and get adopted by a wider population? What lessons can be learned from technological revolutions of the past? What is ubiquitous computing and is there any theory to help us understand it? Can we predict what is likely to happen and what is likely to work?

USE Stimulus kicks off Unsheffield at 7pm Friday 19 June.  It sets the tone and will help shape the agenda for the rest of the weekend. If you’re planning on joining us at the weekend, make sure you don’t miss this.
