Beauty contest

Sorry, very quickly. Unfortunately I have to keep my head on many things, a little more than what I had to follow as a university professor and president of a / symmetries, and many more than what I had to follow as an opposition senator. I therefore ask for your help on a specific point. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the blog (opened, as you remember, from this uselessly prophetic post ). We are focusing on an event that lasts three, rather than two, days and that involves the best speakers from each of the previous nine years.

Consequently (very technical adverb) I ask who was there to tell me in the comments which in their opinion were the most compelling speakers of each of the nine previous editions, with these rules:

1) strictly indicate one and only one supervisor for each of the editions. The cards with the indication of two speakers per edition will be canceled.

2) preferably provide an indication for all editions, from # goofy1 (2012) to # goofy9 (2020). You can also omit to provide information for the years in which you were missing.

3) the general European safeguard clause obviously applies, which in this context states (as in all the others): "you vote, and I do as I please".

If you don't remember who was there and when, you can consult this page .

If you are interested, we are oriented to place ourselves in the third weekend of October, considering that for the moment this is not a save the date , but only an educated guess .

I await your valuable suggestions.
