>New speakers is starting to happen as well. Devconnections DevCon will feature at least 2 first timers, Mike Helland and Cindy Winegarden. Della Martin may be another first-timer, but I am not sure.

Almost every conference over the years has featured some new speakers. When I was involved in conference planning, I always tried to bring in some new faces.

As for Della, she made her premiere < g > at WhilFest this year.
