Alison Wheeler, CEO of Wikimedia UK, part of the Wikimedia Foundation
Aleks Krotoski, technology columnist at The Guardian, researcher at University of Surrey
Tim Malbon, Creative Director, Interesource
George Hadjigeogiou, general manager, communications and community projects, Yahoo Europe

Would love to go to this, but it seems to be fully booked :(

Sorry to hear that Underpangs
It has been a popular event... the only thing I can recommend is that (and I make no garentees on this at all) you come along on the night and see if you can grab the place from people who don't turn up.

Part of the blurb says "Talk about the future with experts." but in this hype of 'Web 2.0' do "experts" really exist or matter? Isn't it rather like Time Magazine's Person of the Year ..
/me declares a possible bias here as I'm on the panel ;-P
