Calvin Ayre would be interesting. Matt Cutts or Brett Tabke definately too. Is Kylie Minogue single?

Phil Helmuth
Chris Ferguson
Alphonse D'Amato
Calvin Ayre

Calvin Ayre is my suggestion.
Jeffrey Pollock would be another.

I think having a poker player is a waste of time IMO. I would much rather go to the conference and see someone like Brent Hoberman (the speaker in London). I am more in favour of an entrepreneur that has made a successful living out of the Internet by doing something innovative. Sure, poker players would probably have some interesting stories, but listening to an entrepreneur is much more inspiring.

Also, I like the recommendation of Matt Cutts. It would be nice to get inside the head of google to see how they look at our industry.

BTW, you might ask some of your past speakers, such as Neil Patel, if they can get hold of Matt Cutts - I would assume that they have a better chance of doing so.

Speaking of which I would like to hear Neil speak again - he was very entertaining!

I went to the webmaster world event in New Orleans a few years back to see the google engineers (One reason why I went) they had a one on one question and answer session with them about 10 or so engineers. Just a joke they didn’t give out any good info……. Of course why would they?
but it would be nice to see Matt Cutts on the fly answering any questions…….. I have a few :-)

This is the downside of getting a Google engineer - they won't be able to tell you how they rank things for obvious reasons so you run the risk of people coming away disappointed. However, an SEO "expert" like Brett Tabke might be better because he is under no ties and although he may not "know" how it works, his "best guess" scenario is likely to be reasonably accurate and more enlightening I'd suggest.

The more I think about it, the more I like the sound of Calvin Ayre.

This is really useful thanks -

Brett should be in for London, he did say he would come to Barcelona but it then conflicted with dates. With calvin its difficult, he was supposed to be on our CEO panel in London but you can't announce that hes coming as he doesn't like people to know his plans for obvious reasons and can change his plans at any time as he did in London

I will continue to work on getting someone good whether it be a poker player, SEO Guru, entrepreneur, politician, or industry activist - Keep teh idea coming though because I will follow everysingle one up for this and future events
