What and why

Two more speakers are confirmed for Inference Day, so get them onto the landing page and tidy the roster.

  • Add Karan Nisar (Staff Account Solutions Architect, CoreWeave — Enterprise AI) and Nina Polshakova (Member of Technical Staff, Stealth — Cloud Native AI Working Group & Kubernetes v1.33 Release Lead), with 600×600 photos matching the existing set.
  • Updated panelist order: the second row is now Julia · Karan · Nina · Nic · Dennis, leaving Annie on the final row (5 / 5 / 1).
  • Mark the event host: a quiet "Event Host" tag above Annie Talvasto's name — a small cyan eyebrow in the existing style, kept understated.
  • Remove the "More speakers to be announced" footnote now that the line-up is set; the footnote only renders when non-empty.
  • Minor roster tidy-ups: spell out Annie's title ("Senior Manager", consistent with the other roles) and note Julia's Google Women Techmakers Ambassador role.

All changes are data (speakers.json), one small render branch in Speakers.tsx, and a scoped .id-panel-tag rule.

Checklist

  • Ran npm run lint and npm run build locally — both pass (lint clean; the pre-existing <img> warnings are unchanged).
  • Ran npm run validate-posts — passes (no blog content changed).
  • Signed off my commit with git commit -s.

Two more speakers are confirmed for Inference Day, so add them to the landing
page and tidy the roster:

- Add Karan Nisar (Staff Account Solutions Architect, CoreWeave — Enterprise AI)
  and Nina Polshakova (Member of Technical Staff, Stealth — Cloud Native AI
  Working Group & Kubernetes v1.33 Release Lead), with 600x600 photos matching
  the existing set.
- Apply the updated panelist order: the second row is now Julia, Karan, Nina,
  Nic, Dennis, leaving Annie on the final row.
- Add a quiet "Event Host" tag above Annie Talvasto's name (small cyan eyebrow,
  in the existing style) to mark her as the MC without drawing attention.
- Drop the "More speakers to be announced" footnote now that the line-up is set;
  the footnote only renders when non-empty.
- Minor roster tidy-ups: spell out Annie's title ("Senior Manager", consistent
  with the other roles) and note Julia's Google Women Techmakers Ambassador role.

build, lint and validate-posts all pass.
