ISO speaker(s) for SDForum Startup SIG

I co-chair SDForum's Startup SIG and am looking for 1-3 speakers on 
product/service design and usability for company founders.

Logistics: Monday, Sept 21, 6:30-9pm, Menlo Park, on Marsh Rd near 101.  
(alternate date: Oct 19)

Ideally the speaker(s) would cover the following issues, including examples 
of how the speakers have done these or advised on these in the past.  Real 
world, practical advice is what we want (vs studies or latest theories).

- How to design and optimize a website and/or mobile app
- How to know whether to create a better design pattern or use what 
everyone else uses
- How to create a customer communication strategy and tactics: email, text, 
twitter, blog, etc
- What needs to be done before the site/company goes live, and what can be 
done afterwards
- How to get things done quickly, cheaply, and "good enough", even if they 
aren't perfect 

The specific industries/verticals aren't important; our audience can 
extrapolate your advice to their own situations.  Attendees represent all 
early phases of a startup, from "thinking about it" to several years in, 
and most are founders, not service providers. We typically have 35-40 
attendees, often up to 70.

If you're interested, please send your contact info and some info about 
yourself: a website, portfolio, write-up, bio, whatever, to provide a feel 
for your experience with successful startups. First-time presenters 
welcome; but we want experienced startup types!

Thanks very much!
Nancy
