We prove the convergence of the extremal processes for variable speed\nbranching Brownian motions where the "speed functions", that describe the\ntime-inhomogeneous variance, lie strictly below their concave hull and satisfy\na certain weak regularity condition. These limiting objects are universal in\nthe sense that they only depend on the slope of the speed function at 0 and\nthe final time t. The proof is based on previous results for two-speed BBM\nobtained in a recent paper of ours and uses Gaussian comparison arguments to\nextend these to the general case.\n
