Aside from gapminder: http://www.gapminder.org/ which I mentioned already, here's a scattering of ideas: - Tim Berners Lee - Eben Moglen - Donald Norman (author: "The design of Everyday Things") - http://www.jnd.org/ - Scott Berkun - http://www.scottberkun.com/ - Alan Cooper (Author: "The Inmates are Running the Asylum") - http://www.cooper.com/ - Seth Godin - http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ - Guy Kawasaki - http://www.guykawasaki.com/ - Doc Searls - http://doc.weblogs.com/ - Joel Spolsky - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/ - Eric Sink - http://www.ericsink.com/ (pretty windows oriented, though...) - Jonathan Schwarz (OK - risky having CEOs at the conference, but it'd be fun) - Ron Hovsepian (it'd be fun - bring your rotten tomatoes) - The Internet's Jono Bacon? In general, I'm trying to think of people I know give a good presentation, which would be a little relevant to the community - someone in software is great, someone in design would be great, someone in technical writing or technical marketing would be OK (on the condition that they're interesting, and fun). I couldn't think of too many high-profile actual hackers that give good presentations, though...
