These names were published on an official flyer that I have.
I believe that means they have all agreed to show up.  By "invited speaker"
they mean someone who was invited to give a talk as opposed
to other speakers who send in abstracts to give short 15-minute
talks on their own and who do not get paid for presenting a paper.
