makes sense.  Being the total newbie
at this I am, it is unclear how to even get to etiher the person or the
agent.  No information on the website of either langlang or coupland.
 Is there some international registry of agents or something?

Jeff,
We've found that while Meeting Strategies Worldwide can contact the speakers
for us, we get a better response if a real person contacts them first.
But if you end up just talking to their agent, then best to have MSW talk
to the agent.  Summary:
    us -> person = good
    MSW -> agent = good
    us -> agent = waste of our time
    MSW -> person = doesn't have that personal touch that
might get us a discount

I would be happy to try and make contact but I wonder if the EclipseCon
production company (whoever that is) would be in a better position to contact
agents and discuss these things.  I could talk to them about their
provisioning or execution requirements but don't have much of a clue as
to how to approach people like this to arrange appearances.

Having said that, I will poke and see but if the production company can
be of assistance that would be great.
