2006 Innovator's Dinner

So apparently I've been invited to the Innovator's Dinner, hosted by Creative Good. I'm not exactly sure why I was invited, but its quite an honor. I'm really excited, there will be executives from some of the companies I respect most there.

So I'm supposed to pick 5 people that I want to network with during the conference. The only one I've come up with is John Smith, the VP of Wikipedia. Any suggestions?

Here's an abbreviated list of the dinner's attendees:
