Date Posted: 06:48:47 08/30/10 Mon 1- In a conference, what is the role of “keynote speakers”, and who are invited to be keynote speakers? A keynote speaker is the person responsible for the main topics to be discussed or presented on a conference. They are highly skilled public speakers and also recognized by their expertise. They are often selected to raise interest in a particular event and draw attendees to attend that program.” According to Wikipedia: “selecting a keynote speaker who is well known for his or her knowledge in a particular field, or who has wide name recognition due to other accomplishments, will probably raise enthusiasm among prospective attendees for a meeting or conference.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynote_speaker Frequently the role of keynote speaker will also include the role of convention moderator. A keynote speaker is also known as a Plenary Speaker. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
