Recently, I announced that some D Language Foundation members and associates took part in an organizational development program called IVY, courtesy of Ucora. We were coached through the program by Saeed Sabeti, Ucora's Director of Organizational Development.

Given the positive experience we had and the bond we established with Saeed, it was obvious to us that we should invite him to DConf '23 in London as our guest speaker. I'm happy to announce that he accepted!

I'll publish the abstract of his talk once the full schedule is ready to go, but right now I can say that he'll be talking about IVY in the context of the D community. It should be of general interest to everyone, but it should be especially relevant for future and current contributors.
