Notes on slide 1

If Metallica played first everyone would go home, why do we keynote at the beginning of the day? Great for energy levels
e.g. WDS

Pick a good support act to build upon, people spot filler, Energy levels are key in absorbing the audience,

Pick a good support act

Yes we all love twitter

True fans dont want to read about seeing U2

why do we sit in boring fluorescence? Why does good lighting only appear at awards ceremony? if youve been to a concert lately youll notice the lighting is insane these days

Speakers and physical distance. Get closer to your audience, make them feel apart of it.

Will matter more in the future due to more public technologies to critique

stand out on stage, you can spot a good drummer’s performance, less frequent

Personal pet hate of mine. panelists need to share the mic. Yes, we’re moving more towards more conversational aspects, but someone will always hog the space.

What is the with the awful music at conferences? I want to take it one step further.

DJs, bands, duos - lets charge it with energy and make it in ATMOSPHERIC EXPERIENCE.
