28th – 30th April 2014
Kilkenny, Ireland
Úll is a conference where people truly come first. We focus deeply on the attendee experience. We bring together talks, interviews, feature presentations, podcasts and lots of social time.
Our attendees go away having made new friends, potential partners, useful connections, knowledgeable confidantes. We care about building strong, valuable relationships.
Hand-picked to get the conversations started.
Designer at QBranch
Dave Wiskus is the designer behind Vesper and the voice behind Unprofessional. Continuing a theme, Dave was one of the last to speak last year, so he’ll be first this time.
Developer at TocaBoca
As a company, TocaBoca are redefining the lines between apps and toys, between learning and enjoyment. In that context, Amanda will share her insights into building apps for kids.
Creator of Grace App
After Charles Perry’s sensational talk last year on application accessibility, we’re looking forward to Lisa’s thoughts on helping people with special needs through applications.
An evening of interviews, music and entertainment, hosted by Jason Snell and Guy English.
Editor in Chief of Macworld
A man who needs no introduction, Jason heads up Macworld magazine, and is a blogging and podcasting tour-de-force.
Organiser of Çingleton
Another frequent blogger and podcaster, Guy is also a co-host of the Cingleton Symposium, a theme-driven conference in Montreal.
Self-contained sessions that run in parallel that are more than just talks and take full advantage of the amazing space that is Lyrath.
Rands in Repose
Michael is the backbone against which Úll is propped. He’s also rather fond of Instagram. Watch this space.
Founder of App Camp for Girls
Jean has recently left her post at Smile to teach girls about software full-time. She will draw on that experience for a presentation on building apps from a teaching perspective.
Co-Founder of Machina
Doing crazy stuff with clothing and technology, with healthy doses of free-software, DIY, politics and (h)activisim.
Independent Researcher and Designer
Jennifer loves books more than anything, and she uses that love to drive decisions in UX design and experience.
Founder of The Loop Insight
Most recently seen cavorting with Soundgarden, Jim is equal parts terrifying and loveable. It’s his amazing voice and passion for music that will inform his feature presentation.
A three course meal preceded by John Gruber’s inimitable keynote.
Founder of Daring Fireball
John continues to be one of the most expressive, clear thinkers in the tech blogging world. He commands a huge audience of loyal readers, and he’s still killing it after more than 10 years. His Úll keynotes have been mesmerising and delightful for the past two years, and it’s a dream come true that he’ll join us for the hat-trick.
Hello
Úll 2014 takes place in Lyrath Estate, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Lyrath is a five star hotel built around the shell of an old Victorian country manor. It features a convention centre, a spa, two restaurants, a café, an expansive foyer, an old house, a games room, a wine bar and, oh, 170 acres of parkland.
Just as in the past we said that Dublin is the ultimate conference city, Lyrath is the ultimate conference venue, and it will be the home of Úll for 3 days.
This year’s schedule is designed around exploring everything that Lyrath has to offer. Talks and interviews happen on the first day to ease you in to the huge space. The second day is all about exploring and choosing your own path. The final day, as ever, is for hanging out.
