Don't worry, they will be there even without invitation.

They're trying to make their exchange (intersango, formerly britcoin) function in the future. Something mtgox is also trying, but without much success (see french central bank and court-case). For the bitcoinconsultancy crowd, in my mind, it's about securing the working of exchange of BTC to FIAT. It's not about changing the inner workings of bitcoin itself. I doubt they'd attempt to do that.
Securing the workings of an exchange is a jurisdictional issue, with regulations as varied as the number of countries. Choosing to domicile an exchange in the US or UK is of course a conscious decision but it undoubtedly has ramifications for the majority of traders that will choose another jurisdiction for their exchange business. This is evidenced by the lack of support for US-based exchanges. It will become even more apparent for transactions and transfers in excess of 500 USD or 500 EUR. I believe that the win for bitcoin exchanges will come from selecting jurisdictions (or legal arrangements) that are more forward looking in their approach to bitcoin rather than attempting to "beg" or "work" for regulatory recognition as a currency. More latitude will be afforded to bitcoin as a non-currency.

I recommend also to consider Neal King, Vladimir Oksman and Charles Bry.
Great idea - that way we could be pretty sure to have the real Satoshi on board! You could make a contest on Sunday, with each of them explaining why they did not invent Bitcoin and let the audience decide on who gave the least convincing speech - winning him an "I am Satoshi Nakamoto" T-shirt 
On a more serious note: Vili Lehdonvirta would surely be an interesting guest for a talk or a panel discussion - I just hope that there is still enough time for each of the speakers!
That would be great, ill try and get in touch.
We have plenty of time for speakers, it wont be a problem.

Vili Lehdonvirta advocates regulation: "A New Frontier in Digital Content Policy: Case Studies in the Regulation of Virtual Goods and Artificial Scarcity" http://www.hiit.fi/~vlehdonv/documents/Lehdonvirta-2010-virtual-goods-regulation.pdf
"We are working with the government to make sure indeed the long arm of the government can reach Bitcoin"
Jeff Garzik, Bitcoin Developer http://rulingclass.wordpress.com/2011/06/09/bitcoin-and-agorism/
Donald Norman, the co-founder of Bitcoin Consultancy, advocates for Bitcoin's regulation, according to CNBC. "Norman is pushing to bring Bitcoin away from its roots and closer to a traditional currency — he is reaching out to regulators, looking to get legislation to oversee the system," says CNBC. http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2011/06/this-is-what-will-really-crash-bitcoin.html?spref=tw
"In the UK, supporters of Bitcoin made an urgent appeal to the Financial Services Authority to regulate the largest London-based exchange, so as to reassure people that using Bitcoin is safe. "Unregulated businesses don't usual cry out for regulation," said Donald Norman, co-founder of the exchange Britcoin. "But because we are unusual, and because we are dealing with people's money, and because of all the scary stories around Bitcoin, we would like nothing more than to have a government authority looking into our accounts – especially now." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/hack-attack-pushes-bitcoin-to-the-brink-2300384.html
