Perhaps we should start with Douglas Coupland, given Lang’s
concern schedule.
Jeff: I found a myspace profile for Douglas
Coupland.
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=90666599
I suggest sending him a message via myspace with a subject like:
“Requesting Keynote Speech for EclipseCon 2008”. If this
doesn’t produce a response, we can try meeting strategies.

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.
