Keynotes

Keynote Talk

A "Keynote Talk" presentation is a 10-minute (or less) solo stand-up that helps focus an audience on a single but powerful idea, success or challenge. Though short, these presentations are powerful, and conference attendees often come away remembering the short, inspirational presentations better than the longer segments.

Keynote Conversation

Keynote conversations are talk-show-style format, led by a moderator. They are intended to be non-scripted, back-and-forth discussions about topics related to GreenBiz tracks and topics. At their best, they can be powerful opportunities for attendees to learn new things and reframe problems to help address challenges.

Logistics

Arriving on-site: We expect keynote speakers to arrive to the keynote room at least 30 minutes before the start of their session. More detailed information will be provided closer to the event and a calendar hold will be shared.

What to wear: The attire for the event is business casual. We recommend clothing that is not too bright or busy to appear well onscreen. Please refrain from wearing bright white clothing or clothing with intricate patterns or stripes, as it will be distracting in the post-event video. You may be asked to remove any jewelry, such as dangly earrings, that may interfere with your mic.

Stage logistics: You will have a timer and confidence monitor on stage with you. Please be aware that we have a fully packed program and expect you to stick within your allotted time, so please be mindful of the timer. If you have slides, you will have a clicker to advance through them. You will be set up with a lavalier mic. If you have any special needs regarding the stage, please reach out to jessica@greenbiz.com as soon as possible.

On-site contact: Should you have any questions or concerns while onsite, please reach out to Jessica Coons at 352-874-4161.

PowerPoint presentations: Keynote conversations do not typically have slides, but keynote talks do (though not required). If you will be using slides as part of your presentation, please be mindful of the following:
