What it covers

The beats of the talk

Rewritten for each audience, so the order and the examples change. These are the subjects it covers.

Main stage, 30 to 60 minutes

The standard keynote, written for your theme and your audience.

Opening or closing

Two different jobs. An opener sets the frame the rest of the programme argues with; a closer has to land what came before it.

Panels and moderated sessions

He takes questions from the floor and will argue a point with a panel, which is what makes a panel worth watching.

What he needs from you

The audience, the theme, what came before him in the running order, and what you want the room doing afterwards.

Why him

He has opened conferences including the nasscom Big Data and Analytics Summit and has keynoted the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit.
