A recession should not deter technology companies from having international aspirations, in fact they should be building global ambitions into their plan from the outset, says David Gill, Director of the St John's Innovation Centre, ahead of this year's Cambridge Enterprise Conference - Diving with Dolphins: Navigating International Waters - to be held at Churchill College on 23rd September 2009.

The majority of Cambridge success stories have gone global early on and there are a number of models for achieving this. St John's Innovation Centre provides support and advice for early stage companies, including running the dynamic Cambridge Enterprise Conference.

The theme this year is internationalism and the event will be exploring the diverse strategies that have been used by high tech companies to penetrate overseas markets.

Entrepreneurs from Abcam, ARM, Augmentra and Bango along with overseas clients, leading academics and finance specialists will be giving the benefits of their experience at this vibrant event.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to see cutting edge innovations from some of the most exciting young companies on the Cambridge scene.

The 10th Cambridge Enterprise Conference - Diving with Dolphins: Navigating International Waters - is a joint initiative between St John's Innovation Centre, The Greater Cambridge Partnership and N W Brown Group. It is sponsored by Peters Elworthy and Moore (PEM) and St John's Innovation Centre and supported by Business Link East.

We will then look at Ajax and The Network, consider HTTP traffic Patterns, object serialisation across HTTP and management and measurement of HTTP traffic. You will also learn about reverse Ajax and Enterprise Comet.
You'll then be introduced to the impact of Ajax on the User Interface, Prototype and some important Data Validation Patterns. You will also learn how to use event-driven code and callback functions and Scriptaculous.
Then, we will discuss Ajax within the context of your Enterprise Architecture. You will learn how Ajax works with SOAP and REST web services and how to use Mash-Ups to interact directly with third-party web services.
Finally, you will learn how to look after your code, with Unit Testing and Functional testing using jsUnit, TestMaker and Selenium.

Being a great designer or developer is only half the battle. You also need to be able to promote and sell your services, unfortunately there is little advice online about how to do this effectively.
The first part of this workshop will examine ways to promote your services, discuss effective approaches when responding to client briefs and improve your presentational skills for that crucial pitch.

Web 2.0 is focused on user participation, so how can you promote interaction on your site?

As designers and product people, our focus is on developing wonderful user experiences where people can come together to participate in meaningful and useful ways. With social sites, this is doubly critical as our sites are fundamentally powered by users interacting with one another.

This workshop will focus on design strategies for lowering the barriers to participation, adapting to user behavior, promoting positive behaviors, managing scale, and creating intuitive user experiences.

Videos of the 2007/8 festivals are now up on the Picnic website if you want to get a feel for it. The only clouds on the horizon are their constant drive for growth and the fact that very little is free anymore. Money is going to be extremely tight this year, so I personally hope it doesn't try to become a film festival, but keeps its focus on emerging media. I also hope they put more effort into improving the navigation of the Picnic website. It becomes very chaotic around the time of the conferences. Agree?
