Excellent idea.

A couple of months ago I was at a OWASP Boston meeting with a similar topic. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. Netcontinuum (http://www.netcontinuum.com/) did the presentation and they or one of their distributors might be intrested in speaking in London as well.

Perhaps you should consider giving the vendor a bit more time to explain the concepts and ideas behind application firewalls. In Boston I think the talk was 60 minutes.

If Netcontinuum looks interesting I can ask them if they are interested in speaking.
