List of Inspiring Young People for your Conference/Event - suggestions welcome
by Tiara Shafiq

Hi al,

I'm building a list of inspiring young people (30 and under) to invite to conferences and events (as speakers, panellists, etc). This would be a good resource for anyone planning a conference of any sort that needs a youth voice or two.

The list is here

I would like your suggestions on other young people to add to my list. Do check out who I have up there and give me your nominations. You can nominate yourself too :)

Thank you!

Great idea Tiara! Here are a few 20something
impressive women...

Okay, here are a couple of brilliant young women who come to mind. I reserve the right to slap my forehead and add some more later - I'm not really awake yet:

BlogHer Contributing editors Heather Barmore, Zandria and Amanda Shaffer. I believe these are the only editors currently under 30 - if I'm wrong and anyone knows, please correct me? (Hey, we don't require our 20somethings to wear special hats :)

Jennifer Pozner
HappySlip
Zadi Diaz
Po Si Teng

More great 20something women!

Okay, I am even better educated now! Here are a couple more BlogHer contributing editors whose advanced blogging/writing skills made me think they might be as much of an antique as I:

need more info

Thanks for the recs! I've added Jennifer, Happyslip, and Zadi, but I need more info on the rest of them - specifically, what they do and what fields they're involved in. Trisha doesn't have her own website (or otherwise doesn't have it listed) so it's a bit difficult.

If you're on Lisa's list and you're reading this - please respond :)

Trisha and more

Trisha includes a link to her site in every post that she makes, and I believe the other CEs on the list also include a link to their websites in their signature lines. You can also find them linked towards the bottom of their topics pages in the "contributing editor" information.

And, you can also contact them via the contact us form in their basic profile.

http://www.blogher.com/member/user-name is the format for reaching that page.
