Since founding Experience Internet in 2005, Stephen has been busy building award-winning ExpressionEngine websites, and a reputation as one of the world's best EE developers.

A member of the ExpressionEngine Professionals Network, Stephen has developed over a dozen popular open source EE add-ons.

In 2009, he was nominated in three separate categories in the Devot:ee Awards (as voted for by his EE peers), and was a runner-up in the Developer of the Year category.

Our second speaker is a welcome return from Adam Westbrook.

He'll be talking about how the internet and digital technology actually offers journalists a huge opportunity rather than a threat - if they're prepared to think differently. He's writing a new ebook for publication in May which is going to offer 10 new ways to make money as a journalist exploiting the opportunities presented by the digital age, and during the presentation he'll outline some of the new career paths open to journos and what they have to do to get there.
