I am a bit late on this, but FORCE2018 has two Wikidata people speaking (as Violeta's link shows): Dario Taraborelli and Daniel Mietchen, see also Scholia's profile: https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/event/Q56579271

I have never attended the conference, but I suppose it is most relevant to people in research and research supporting roles such as research librarians, - like WikiCite people.

Thank you for addressing this issue.
Yes, members of the wikidata community have participated in Force11 events in the past and also this year: http://sched.co/F7u7 Members of the Force11 actually visited the Wikidata headquarters last year in Berlin when our 2017 conference was held there. See that program for reference:

A friendly suggestion: please look up the event, in this case Force11 [https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2018], before sending emails that contain suggestions to blacklist people.

    Hello all,

    Lydia and I, as moderators of this list, are filtering the
    announcements about conferences, keeping only the ones that have a
    link to Wikidata or could interest the broad community. The criteria
    of having to pay for the conference or not is not taken in account.
    In that case, the conference includes open data in its topic, and
    some members of the Wikicite group have been there in the past,
    that's why we thought it would be interesting for the Wikidata
    community.

    However, we don't tolerate spam, multiple-reminders for the same
    event, and we try to reduce the noise as much as possible for the
    ~1200 subscribers of this mailing-list.

    Thanks for your understanding,
    Léa

            I didn't want to be the first to raise what I wasn't sure to
            be an
            issue, but I feel the same.
