Last year, I did Hot Topics in Training - A Crude (but mildly interesting) Analysis where I analyzed the topics at Training 2005 and Training 2006 to determine what topics were emerging and fading. So, I'm doing it again this time based on the topics in Training 2007. Although people may debate this.
