The IISc Centenary Conference is just 107 days away. The Conference website has some new information about the speakers.
First, check out the impressive line-up of plenary speakers. I'll just highlight a few personal favorites:
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1984 Nobel winner for Peace (public lecture).
Prof. Eric Maskin, 2007 Nobel winner in Economics (keynote).
Prof. Subra Suresh, Dean of the School of Engineering, MIT (keynote).
Mr. Sam Pitroda, Chairman of the National Knowledge Commission (public lecture).
Dr. S. Ramadorai, CEO, Tata Consultancy Services (keynote).
In addition, the Conference will host quite a few workshops and panels, each featuring 5 - 7 speakers. My personal favourite among them is Prof. P.M. Ajayan -- we were classmates at BHU!

I believe some of the invitees are yet to confirm their participation; so the list of speakers will see some additions in the coming weeks.
