Sorry for the delay! We are still working out the details of the program but it is absolutely on my list of things under consideration. I will get back to you with a more concrete answer once I know more.
In other news, we have extended the Early Bird registration for the event until 30 May!
Our speakers are all beginning work on their presentations--does anyone have any words of wisdom, tips, or things that you've seen in other presentations that made them super interesting? Let me know your tips and tricks and we'll share them with our speakers!

Melissa Raffel: Thanks for your feedback. Sounds good, will wait to hear back from you if the "Ask the Expert" Panel will be considered and if I will be invited to participate and then take it from there.
Regarding presentations, I highly recommend that speakers make their presentations more interactive by embedding videos, animations, pictures and also include polls if possible. This will take the participants experience to the next level!

Melissa,
I would encourage speakers to sprinkle doses of humor throughout their presentations. This will keep the audience interested and engaged and, most importantly, make their content/presentation memorable.
I would also second Rami’s thoughts regarding “live event polling.” Besides taking the pulse of the profession (in attendance) on varying topics under discussion, it opens the door to memorable interactions and, “of course,” humor.

Great Tip George, the challenge with the "humor" is the cultural differences. I joined sessions that they made references to baseball and I was super lost, while other people were laughing.

Mayte Mata-Sivera we're so excited that you'll be part of the program! You make a good point about specific cultural references--not everything resonates with everyone, but George Freeman humor is definitely a way to keep attendees engaged (assuming the jokes "land")
Everyone, out of curiosity, if you saw a session title with the term "MVP" would you know what it meant (if it was NOT referring to Minimum Viable Product)?

In NBA, MVP is Most Valuable Player :-)
MVP in Agile Project Management normally refers to Minimum Viable Product but it could also refer to Most Valuable Product so it is best to identify for more clarity.

For people that follow sports it's the Most Valuable Player, however I learned that when I moved to USA, never heard it before.
