followinstincts in regard to the entire context It's not translatable, and the major problem, from the ltd context, is: what tense to use or whether to imply past or future. On the face of the context here, I would simply say "Four professionals/experts on .... "

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Yasser! Apparently this was only for internal use only at the moment and had not been confirmed. Therefore this was the most appropriate given the context. "

The program calls for [the participation...]

This formulation gets around the problematic syntax in English.

Also, if your text is publicity for an event that is already planned, it would sound strange to use the term "we propose." Even if the speakers have not yet accepted (or even been invited), you wouldn't want to advertise this nebulous state of affairs in a text intended to promote support and attendance.
Note from asker:
Fair points Muriel - had the same doubts myself about using 'propose'.

Thanks, Natalia!
agree Yvette Neisser Moreno : This makes the most sense to me of the "proposed" answers. In fact, if you think the authors are pretty confident that the 4 representatives will be there, you could just say, "Four professionals will participate..." or something like that. Suerte!

Thanks. Your suggestion would work, too. It all depends on how firm the presenters' commitment is.

The proposal/plan includes... / A proposal/plan is made for...

"The proposal/plan includes the participation of...."

"A proposal/plan is made for the participation of...."

I would actually go with the first option.

My 2 cents...
