Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

This may seem selfish but I'm not interested in EA. I did't like the fact that they lay-offed alot of employees(if your clueless then check one of the GameInformer Issues 200+). My friend and I are fans of Halo and recently looked at Bungie's vidoc and would like to see Bungie. We want to learn information from a company that is cool and good which is Bungie. It seems more like employees have fun at Bungie and I think that is something to learn from(Plus I want a autograph!).
Is there anyway to arrange a guest speaker if a Employee happens to pass by in Florida? =/ In one of your Break In's there was a employee that went to Full Sail in Florida.

Bungie's a long way from there, but there are other game developers in Florida. One of EA Sport's studios is in Orlando, for example. Try looking around for a local IGDA chapter, that's a good way to find a speaker in driving distance.
The only way that I can think of really motivating someone to be a guest is to actually invite them and offering to be their host.
So, if the invitation involves a flight, hotel and car at no personal cost to the Bungie team member... then you might get a nibble. Especially once it gets cold and wet up in the Northwest.
However, if you are willing and able to make such an offer, then you would likely want to have some control over who is your speaker. For example, if Urk were to post your invite on the board in the break room, you might end up with Staten, you might get Marty, you might end up with Stosh and his cat. All of which would be interesting speakers, all for very different reasons.
