I don't think any conference should be allowed to have proceed without a single black person, Eskimo, female or badger on the speak list.

Here are a few shows that were also not diverse enough for my liking: London Boat show - too many white males http://www.londonboatshow.com/2013/whats_on/attractions__eve...

British Educational Training and Technology Show - not a single person with a double barrel name :( http://www.bettshow.com/Conferences-Features

The baby show - only females speaking. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. This show should NOT go ahead. Refunds all around http://www.thebabyshow.co.uk/excel/new-parent/for-baby

Professional Beauty- not enough males http://www.professionalbeauty.co.uk/page.cfm/Link=149/nocach...
