As you will probably know the IWMW 2012 event will be held at the
University of Edinburgh on 18-20 June. The call for proposals is
currently open [1]. But in addition we'll be looking for good plenary
speakers, particularly to open and close the event. In previous years we
have had great talks from two well-known Scottish speakers, Derek Law
and Ewan McIntosh. I'd welcome suggestions for similar high profile
speakers who could give relevant talks at the event.
Note that in the past we've talked about the need to have senior
managers who know about the Web speaking at the event. Last year I came
across the blog at

which is provided by Ferdinand von Prondzynski who is now VC at RGU.
He has written some interesting posts: e.g.

Might he be worth approaching? If necessary, feel free to contact me
directly
Thanks
