An interesting an relevant interview: This mathematical formula shows that
all-male panels are sexist http://qz.com/524694/524694/

I wonder if "women in optics" has a list of female speakers? Or at least
there has to be a list of 'not-greybeards'?
Alternatively (and I've found this to work with some success) is that when
invites are sent out, politely ask if the person can provide a
recommendation for someone else if they are going to decline the invite.
This does a better job of mixing up the 'usual suspects'.

Cheers,
M
