Our expert panel is selected one year before the event. We select our expert panelists from a pool of 200 or so recognized industry executives who are covered regularly in TechCrunch, who have attended the TechCrunch50 event and who we’ve developed personal relationships with. Feel free to submit suggestions for 2010 now, and we encourage those who are interested in speaking/judging to attend for a year or two.

Suggestions for speakers for our 2010 conference can be e-mailed to us at 2010speakers@techcrunch50.com
