Here's a list of the titles and presenters that I found particularly interesting based on the ideas and topics we've been discussing here on The Road. There's also a few friends who will be in the exhibit hall! If you are, or know any of these fine folks please drop us a line! We're hoping to set up a series of short radio interviews with as many as we can before the big weekend. It would be a great opportunity to give a preview of your presentation to a target audience and let us know why we should be excited to hear more in person.
