A few of notable speakers this year are:
Andrew Gordon from the Pixar animation team - he joined Pixar at a Bugs Life and has been there ever since.
Storm Thorgerson - If I say he designed the Pink Floyd album cover 'Dark Side of the Moon' do I need to say any more?
Dick Frizzell - speaking for the first time alongside his son Otis. Get some sweet cult Kiwiana insight.
