I am a bit late on this, but FORCE2018 has two Wikidata people speaking
(as Violeta's link shows): Dario Taraborelli and Daniel Mietchen, see
also Scholia's profile: https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/event/Q56579271

I have never attended the conference, but I suppose it is most relevant
to people in research and research supporting roles such as research
librarians, - like WikiCite people.
