Send in a proposal for it then.
I did one for a round table. Which would most likely have overlap.

Because this is a general proposal and the number of people associated 
with it must be later determined, biography is being left out.
The topics that will be discussed are unknown at this point, so keywords 
will also be left out.

Title: How Does D Fend?
Kind: Round table
Target audience: Beginners and those on the fence
Abstract:
Majority of talks at DConf 2015 are aimed at those who are already in 
the D community. A round table for those who are not entirely vested 
should enable those that are not to ask questions and get answers from a 
range of people. An example of this is (Richard Cattermole) who has got 
good solid knowledge of Compile Time Function Execution of code in the D 
language. Along side others including: dmd and phobos contributes. 
Others from e.g. vibe.d and even students from UVU would give full range 
of skill level a chance to talk about a topic.

Extended description:
The round table discussion could take a very long time and each topic 
discussed could in turn be long drawn out. From this a set time limit 
per topic should be attached. The time limit chosen should be determined 
based upon the entire given time allocated for the round table.
Each topic is discussed in three stages.

     Introduction, what does everyone know about the topic?
     Discussion, discuss between the members issues and future potential 
for the topic
     Summary, most members should be able to agree what the current 
state and future potential lies. Giving an answer to the person who 
asked the question.

Primarily a time limit should be placed upon the discussion. 
Introduction and summary being so fundamental it should not have it on it.
The choosing of questions should be done by somebody who is not on the 
round table. They should gather it from a range of locations. The live 
stream chat, Twitter and live audience are the most common ones.
The audience should be open for non DConf visitors. At the very least 
UVU staff and students. UVU students should be part of the round table.
