You make a great point Kate. Your blog post about this will hopefully stimulate more discussion on the topic in general.

Thanks for raising the issue.

As part of the organizing committee, we have had many months of discussions around the best content and speakers. In fact, a few of the people you pointed out (as well as several others) were approached and, for one reason or another, did not work out. It was mostly due to timing or scheduling conflicts.

I must admit we did not take a step back and observe it in the light that you are shining on it. However, I’m glad you did agree that the middle age white guys who are on the bill are the right ones!!
