Once a year, Damian travels through Europe. During his visit to Amsterdam<br>
last year, he had an audience of over 200 excited geeks. This year he<br>
will present two talks:<br>
<br>
* In "Instantly Better Presentations" Damian will demonstrate and explain<br>
seven simple ways to give more interesting and more effective technical<br>
presentations. In other words, it's a tech talk about giving better<br>
tech talks by a guy who gives tech talks for a living.<br>

<br>
* After 15 years of development, the Perl 6 programming language will be<br>
officially released later this year. Like its predecessor Perl 5,<br>
it has incorporated many original ideas and openly borrowed great<br>
concepts from other languages. In "Everyday Perl 6", Damian will show<br>
how Perl 6 builds upon, and considerably improves, the features and<br>
syntax of Perl 5.<br>
