There are some really good suggestions in the comments on Debbie Landa's post as well as a wiki somewhere with names of potential female speakers. It's definitely harder to find women than men, though, and if you limit the list to "senior execs and dealmakers" I'm concerned it rules out too many interesting and smart people. However, I can see that at some conferences, that's the sort of speaker they're looking for. Scott, James: thanks for the names.

I am a fan of Joelle Gropper Kaufman, VP at XML appliance firm Reactivity, Sandy Carter (IBM - she is tasked with umbrella role, pulling SWG teams and products) together. that's a few off the top of my head. perhaps you should manage a list, with contributions from the field? - a women executive speaker list. oh yeah that reminds me - gina rometti runs IBM Business Consulting - she is seriously slick, and another very influential type. Those are off the top of my head with any luck RedMonk can bring in a female voice sooner rather than later…
