Full list of speakers announced
After much, agonising, deliberation by the core programme team, informed by a panel of over 15 reviewers (some of whom worked double, or even triple, shifts), the final list of speakers can now be announced.
But before that I'd like to say a bit more about the selection process. As any conference organiser will tell you, the hardest part is usually deciding who will be in the programme and who won't. With a ratio of four submissions to every available slot this was especially true. And on top of that the submissions themselves were just excellent in general.
So while this classifies as a "good problem to have", it was a problem nonetheless. Saying "no" to so many outstanding speakers and talks was heartbreaking - but that was what I signed up for.
I've said this to some people already, but I'll say it again here - and this is no hyperbole: we could easily make at least one world class conference from just the talks that weren't selected - probably two!
In fact the task was so hard that we have decided to add an extra half a track (in practice this probably means that one of the two days will have four tracks instead of three)!
And so we arrive at the list. The schedule is another step that will be put together later.
