Also, without web addresses:
Aleksey Vesleovsky from Russia, presented his business in artificial design ideas for web printing.
Canadian banking and online security expert Douglas Ferguson, who I hope will help e-signus.com!

So many overseas players looking to bring their expertise to London, and some great home grown ideas too. Looking forward to reviewing these with other mentors at the proposed catch up event in early 2012.
