I figure this deserves a thread of it's own...

it would seem we will have such folks as...

Christopher Carr (Who worked with Dava Newman at MIT on Biosuits and has said he will talk a bit about mechanical counter-pressure, but will mostly focus on traditional gas pressure suits), Lawrence Kuznetz (Taugh spacesuit design at Berkley works at JSC), Gary Harris (Wrote the "blue bible" of spacesuits AAS Volume 24 bottom of page) and Pablo de Leon (Teaches spacesuit design at UND) speaking at the Spacesuit Symposium.

And possibly an end users like Michael Gernhardt (STS-69, STS-83, STS-94 and STS-104).

If you're interested in attending or interest in knowing more about the conference and/or the Mars Society http://www.marssociety.org/

It would be interesting to put faces to names...
