Special features will include giving you a chance to try out the latest WiFi innovations, including "The WiFi Home" - see how your home will work in the wireless world. There will also be attractions like: a live hack of an enterprise WLAN by Orthus; a sneak preview of new wireless DVD from SonicBlue; a working 802.11g hotspot from Belkin; a dual mode 802.11a and 11b system from Zcomax; also dual WAN/WLAN 802.11 and GPRS devices.

The event will provide free hotspot access from Netario and Gemtek Systems, and the exhibitors will also showcase the latest WiFi-enabled notebooks and tablets from Fujitsu Siemens and Toshiba.

Finally, there will be the latest Centrino news from Intel, which is an event sponsor, and will probably be in a position to talk about faster WLAN technologies by then.

The exhibition is free; the conference is not free. If you register before 15 April, it costs £795 + VAT@17.5% = £934.13 and you can register in advance on the web site.

Keynote speakers are David Hughes of BT Openzone and Andrew Greenhalgh of Intel.
