Elaine Buckland
Antonio Carusone from Aisle One I'd love to hear more about his Buddy Carr skateboard designs & his blog is full of excellent typography!
Eddie B
Kenny, the Australian mobile toilet cleaner. He deals in crap all day, so he'll probably be best at letting people know what's crap design and what's not, and how to cut the crap when doing strategy.
Crissi Blair
I would love to see Marian Bantjes here. She has done such beautiful work with text and pattern, and not just in books - though the book she is about to release looks like a total dream, but also on furniture. She writes about her design work with such intelligence and passion, I'm sure she would be a great guest.
Mike
Scott Dadich creative director of Wired Magazine. @nsmart Stanley Donwood would be awesome.
Greg Dodds
Erik Spiekermann - one of the great living typographers, who could discuss the designing of Meta font, setting up FontShop and the utility of webfonts, to list just a few things… (PS Marian Bantjes has already been to SP - she was great).

If he was real, God, some neat designs.
Charles Li
It was Adrian Shaughnessy, but he is already coming this time round.
Seth Godin is my next pick.
Need I say more?

Takashi Murakami. Just look at his work for great inspirations from illustrations to comibination of colours.
Megan
John Williams. His musical scores have made an incredible contribution to the motion picture industry.
Daniel
'Independant artists'
These people, the people that don't get ENOUGH recognition for their work. I suppose the weirder arts, and/or the kinda work that has never been done/seen before, these are the ones that really hit me and i'd love to see more of them.
Olivier
I'd like me to make an appearance by winning the ticket :)
After that though I'd love to see my bro Exceeda -http://www.exceeda.co.uk his audio visual and archive footage ninja chopping skillz are awesome. (plus it would be great reason for him to come visit!)

alphastudio
Pixar director John Lasseter, love there work

I would love to have someone from older times, as far back as can be, to be there at the event as it would be great to see in person the works of some of these great sources of inspiration. Inspiration is truly important to a designer, and it is always great to draw from the greats.
