Will Whitehorn
Will Whitehorn has been a lynchpin in Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin empire for almost 20 years. As Virgin Group’s Brand Development and Corporate Affairs Director it’s his job to steer the entertainment, media and travel giant through times of turbulence and calm. But he also holds the title of President of Virgin Galactic – Virgin’s rapidly developing commercial space travel division – and as such should be one of the first ‘civilians’ to take a ride into space in a craft currently under development.
Bob Garfield
Bob Garfield is a columnist, critic, essayist, pundit, international lecturer and obscure broadcast personality. Garfield’s “Ad Review” is a prominent feature of Advertising Age, where each week he singles out an ad for praise or ridicule and thus has become among the more pitifully groveled-before figures in trade-magazine history. Bob Garfield was keynote speaker at the Marketing and Advertising Week WAZZAP? 2008 organized by Best Marketing, held in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in October 2007.

Andrea Learned
Andrea Learned is a marketing dot-connector with a focus on gender and a longterm view on coming trends. Her mission these days is to make the whole idea of “marketing to women” obsolete - NOT to work herself out of a career, but to point out how it should be more about serving feminine brain traits in everybody than about figuring out how to better serve solely women. She is author of the book "Don't Think Pink".
