This year's theme is "Rise of the Machines."

The goal is to find good speakers from the New York tech scene that are:

Preferably the founder of a startup.

Preferably in the mobile space.

PLEASE if you know women who fit this criteria, please, please nominate them. We strive for gender balance with our speakers, and would love to learn of women doing amazing mobile stuff.

It would be friggin' awesome to get someone, anyone in mobile HARDWARE.
