Urs Hoelzle, VP Of Operations & Google Fellow will give 1 exclusive behind
the scenes talk on one of the world's most exciting companies.

You will also have the opportunity to talk to Google about exciting
engineering jobs in Ireland. 

Search is one of the most important applications used on the internet, but
it also poses some of the most interesting challenges in computer science.
Providing high-quality search requires understanding across a wide range of
computer science disciplines, from lower-level systems issues like computer
architecture and distributed systems to applied areas like information
retrieval, machine learning, data mining, and user interface design. In this
talk Urs will describe some of the challenges in these areas, discuss some
of the interesting applications related to search that Google has developed
over the past few years, and highlight some of the behind-the-scenes pieces
of infrastructure that we have built in order to operate Google's services.
