Great theater. Awesome Indian food. Hyde Park in springtime. As if that and hub-hub over Heathrow's new Terminal 5 (let's hope it turns out better than Terminal 4, once it's out of beta) weren't reason enough for us to book a flight to London, my London-bred colleague Alan Pelz-Sharpe and I will try to take the town by storm later this month at UK Internet World.

Attendance is free and the event offers a huge show floor as well as many educational sessions. I'll be the one with lots of hair and the uncool accent, talking about the current and future state of enterprise search, based on the research conducted for our Enterprise Search Report 2008. I'm planning to highlight what Microsoft's acquisition of FAST means to buyers and existing customers, Google's recent moves, and focus on a few players that are gaining traction in the UK market. Alan, meanwhile, will wittily deconstruct Enterprise Content Management technologies, based on over a year of research he conducted for the ECM Suites Report 2008. But given our time at the podium is short, please send me an email if you'd like to meet up with us while we're there. We both love samosas....
