David Jakes: The keynote takes me into new territory, and is a reflection of my new work at The Third Teacher Plus and Cannon Design in Chicago. It’s a brand new presentation, which can be interesting in front of a large audience, but its something I’ve done before and enjoy. It’s my belief that an audience should hear your most current beliefs and ideas in a keynote, and that it should be an honest conversation with the audience. If the delivery is not perfect, that’s ok, because ultimately, the ideas are the most important thing.
David’s a terrific thinker with a world of experience. Go if you have a chance!
