We will be hearing from 12 speakers this year. As in previous years, speakers span a broad array of  industries with ideas to share in engineering, play-making, architecture, education, healthcare and space exploration. Each will draw inspiration from the 2014 theme: illuminate! in talks lasting 18 minutes or less.
