If you asked any 18-35 year old if they wanted to hear Snooki speak, I bet 90% of them would say yes (not as a role model- just as someone entertaining to listen to). On the other hand, I have no idea who Jonathan Franzen is. I wiki’d him to see what he had written- I am a voracious reader and I had never even heard of his books. That’s the problem- lots of authors that no one has heard of.

Not necessarily as the keynote speaker. This was tried before with Ty Pennington but it fell through. But recently Laura Bush was here and would definitely pull in a crowd. Though not my speed, Susan Lucci just came out with her biography. I would suggest Pam Grier. I saw her at Comic Con last December. She’s a wonderful speaker with great anecdotes about her 30+ years in Hollywood.
