Keynote idea - More Wikinomics

Not sure if MPI wants to bring back Don Tapscott (author of Wikinomics), but I think a follow up to the Montreal keynote, identifying how the new tools continue to be used, and how they're being used in our industry, would be a great general session topic. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I agree. And it would be great to hear some real life examples of how people/organizations are using the tools in our industry. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Keynote presentation starting during lunch is a waste since it is difficult to keep everyone's attention while they are eating.
Presentations if any, should begin after lunch. Do you find this valuable?

Not a good idea to have repeat speakers. I may look complacent. Keep attendees attention and interest by bringing new blood. Do you find this valuable?

I am currently in a Wiki lab and we discussed letting the membership select the keynote. MPI could make recommendations and we vote on them. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

In our Wiki lab group, we came up with a list of possible speakers including Stephen Dubner (co-author of Freakonomics), Ben Mezrich (author, Bringing Down the House), Will Shortz (NYT Crossword Puzzle Guru) and others. Do you find this valuable?
