I'd like to meet:

Steve Jobs (Apple Inc.) - One of the worlds true visionaries, let the revolution begin :o)

Steve Wozniak - Again, Woz is one of the true greats in this world, along with his partner in crime as it where, they took the world by the throat and gave it a damn good thrashing.

Jonathan Ive - Man you have made me proud to be a loyal Mac user, since 1982 I have been a follower, in '84 I got my first Mac (still have it's bigger brother, an SEII and it still works, albeit rather slowly these days LOL). When you turned the industry on it's head with the new iMac design (onboard USB and FireWire - trends now common place in the computing world), the world realised that there was indeed an alternative to the dark side...thankyou!

By the way, have you guys out there seen the new iPod Touch/iPhone (if not, you must have been living under a rock all this time).

Apple's amazing iPhone (Click Here)
Apple's equally impressive family of iPods (Click Here)
