Spiderman, The Terminator, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Bon Jovi, the First Lady, the Queen of Jordan? Oh my!

We first reported Usher attending the ServiceNation Summit earlier this week, but with Barack Obama and John S. McCain both scheduled to speak at Columbia University on the seventh anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, it's easy to overlook the growing chorus of politicians, celebrities, businesspeople and um, "community organizers" also involved in Friday's event being held at the Hilton New York.

Below is a list of all scheduled attendees for this Friday, September 12, 2008 (I divided them into broad categories so as to see which industry was ServiceNation friendly). California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will wrap up the Summit as keynote speaker on Friday night.

A woman by whom the realm is ruled when there is a king, and through whom it is ruled when there is not.
