Keynotes at Conferences

Why is it that keynotes at conferences are always twice as long as the individual sessions? It should be the other way around. If sessions are an hour and a half long, the keynote should be 45 mintes (one hour max). If you can't communicate the marketing message (keynotes are always marketing) in that period of time, your message is not concise and will not have an impact.

Gravatar Good point. It's also annoying when the WiFi is taken offline during a keynote - I don't know if they do that so people "pay attention" or to stop a live broadcast. 2/2/2005 3:57 PM | Scott Allen

Gravatar Heh - very true. I tend to sleep through keynotes, although that might be the effects of 'the night before the first day of the conference' ! 4/13/2005 2:00 AM | Ian
