    And if the girl happens to be a fellow geek (my wife happens to be quite a geek herself)?

      It would be absurd if your wife (a fellow geek) needed to be reminded of your website URL. :)

        True, but I was referring to geek level scale :)

                              I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.
