- Leah Buley – The User Experience Team of One
- Jared Spool – Journey to the centre of design
- Joe Lamentia – Effective IA for Enterprise Portals
- Luke Wroblewski – Content page design best practices
- Stephen Anderson – Inspiration from the Edge: New patterns for interface design
- John Ferrara – Extending the gaming experience to conventional UIs
- Mathew Milan – The Information Architect and the Fighter Pilot
- Todd Zaki Warfel – Data driven design research personas
- Martin Belam – IA for Tiny stuff: Exploring widgets and gadgets
- Andrew Hinton – Linkosophy
