Fixes #242

Problem

The sentence in the Invited Speakers section was grammatically awkward and unclear:

"If your system is to have speakers come to you & ask, but research shows they tend not to do so, they won't come."

Solution

Rewrote the text to be clearer and more actionable:

"If you rely on speakers to approach you directly, research shows that many qualified speakers (especially from underrepresented groups) are unlikely to self-nominate, so you'll miss out on diverse talent."

Benefits

  • ✅ Improved clarity and readability
  • ✅ Explicitly mentions diversity impact
  • ✅ More actionable guidance for conference organizers
  • ✅ Better grammar and flow

Testing

  • Built documentation locally with sphinx-build
  • Verified content renders correctly
  • No build errors introduced

This change improves the guidance for conference organizers on proactive speaker recruitment to ensure diverse representation.

Improved clarity of confusing sentence about speaker
self-nomination in the Invited Speakers section.

Changed unclear text 'If your system is to have speakers
come to you & ask, but research shows they tend not to
do so, they won't come.' to more clear and actionable
guidance that explicitly mentions diversity impact.
