Sebastian,

It’s hard to predict who will attend, thus I will express a mixture of experience and target audience. The majority of Smalltalk Solutions attendees have been Smalltalk professionals, i.e. people from all over the world who professionally use Smalltalk for their day jobs in commercial projects. Minorities have been from academia and Smalltalk interested newbies. Our targets this year are to emphasize the business part of Smalltalk usage and users of other software technologies.

As Smalltalk is used across industries, the conference never has been specific for any particular industry.
