My brain just lit up with ideas from these conferences as they treat different problems, small and large business experiences.

Presentation on visualisation tools – Jeffrey Heer (how might we create visualisations: Excel and other Doc Types, graphics with code in Java Script) and Adam Perer (What is the role of visualisation in prediction?)
