On Bitcoin 2013: The Future of Payments May 17-19, 2013 - San Jose, CA (http://www.bitcoin2013.com/bitcoin-2013-panelists.html) conference page you'll find 50+ speakers and panelists. They are also on youtube - some of the videos are from that conference.

For example you can find:

Gavin Andresen - Bitcoin Foundation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfF5mJDgZWc

Tuur Demeester author of the financial newsletter MacroTrends
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7LQu-eIOO0

Fred Ehrsam co-founder of Coinbase
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4SzyDjRHTQ

Andreas Antonopoulos chief security officer at blockchain.info
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTPQKyAq-DM

Some of them are very good speakers, some are delivering valuable info, some both. It takes a bit of work but I think if you have some time you'll find contact info on their blogs, sites etc.

Good luck!

I am interested in speaking at this conference. I have been through Dubai several times in the past year and believe my topic would go over well there.

I have a friend who works in banking sector in Dubai, he works for a major Government bank, he confirmed to me that The Central Bank of UAE (DUBAI) has declared Bitcoin as not a legal currency or commodity and anyone setting up a Bitcoin based business in Dubai will face severe punishment. This wasn't in the news because it's not an important topic for the government there, however they received official notice. He and his business partner wanted to setup a bitcoin business but was rejected by the Central Bank and The government licensing authority.

Doing things like Bitcoin without proper licensing in Dubai will result in severe consequences and jail time, you need to be very careful. I'll see if i can get him to comment on this forum more about this.
