Technical Setup for Futurist Keynote Speaker Patrick Dixon

Dr Patrick Dixon MBE: Futurist Keynote Speaker - Dr Patrick Dixon MBE: Futurist Keynote Speaker

Patrick will bring a customised Keynote presentation on his own Mac. 

Think of theatre rather than a traditional lecture. Patrick's Keynotes are highly visual with  many images, animations, video clips - these are short, embedded video elements (almost always without sound).  Content is created in close consultation with event organisers, adapted precisely to theme and audience. His Mac can sit on the technician's desk with all their other equipment. There is nothing for the technicians to do during the keynote itself.  Setup time usually takes less than 5 minutes, including sound check, with good preparation on both sides before arrival.

There is nothing for the technicians to do during the keynote itself.  Setup time usually takes less than 5 minutes, including sound check, with good preparation on both sides before arrival. 

Sample clip from a large event

Here is a recent event so you can see how visual these keynotes are.

Output resolution will be matched to your equipment - eg 1920x1200 (HDTV) or much higher resolutions such as 3000x1000. 

He will provide a copy of the keynote in pdf format, on a USB stick for backup on a technician's machine.  

Patrick will need nothing on stage except:

1) USB remote control to advance slides if the stage is a long distance from technicians.

2. Clip-on microphone as he walks around a lot - from one end of the stage across to the other, often right into the audience.

3. At least one monitor onstage so that he can see what is on the screen without needing to turn.  Over 100 elements need to be timed precisely.  If the stage is wide, think of a second monitor.  If technicians are at the back of the hall, a great solution is turning Patrick's Mac around so that he can see from the stage what slide he is on. He does not need to read text, just to be sure what is happening rapidly behind him.

4. Confirmation of exact format / resolution at least one week before the event.

Planning your event with ultra-large screens or innovative staging? 

If you are planning to be creative / innovative, please send a stage plan. Patrick adapts his material to display in dramatic ways across unusual stage sets, working perfectly across ultra-wide screens etc.  

On the right is an example of a gigantic daylight LED screen - and a keynote made to fit - all driven from Patrick's own Mac.

Below right is a keynote in a theatre with around 700 people, where as you can see just a couple of minutes in, Patrick starts running video etc across three entire rear walls of the stage.  Some of the video was recorded and edited by him the day before nearby, using local landmarks.

Very few keynote speakers know how to manage large audiences and even fewer know how to use tech in such a dynamic way.  Most confine themselves to a traditional "Powerpoint Box".

Advance copies of keynotes? Patrick is pleased to supply draft keynote slides as a pdf ahead of time as a guide for discussion but they are mainly images, and the content is often adjusted slightly on arrival, in discussion with organisers, or even sitting in the back of the venue, listening to other speakers, customising responses in real-time to their own content, audience discussion and so on.

Video recording of keynotes. Patrick is always delighted for conference organisers to make video of his keynotes and to use them however they wish , including publishing online, on condition that he receives a copy soon after the event which he can use in the same way (confidential information removed).

Help: In Efforts for a Sustainable Future

Dear Dr. Dixon,

I am a freshmen Psychology and Sustainability major at Arizona State University. Our school is one of the first to offer a go-green major and I am privileged to be able to take advantage of it. Sustainability is really the study of the interconnectedness of all things. I admire your views on the future of technology in relation to population trends and primarily the $40 trillion climate change business. I know my purpose in life is to serve others and see myself innovating different from the rest in a way that consists of perpetual emotion that will impact the world in a way we've never dreamed. My school is offering a month-long trip to Australia this summer to understand the human dimensions of Sustainability. It unfortunately is a costly $9,000 and my financial aid will not cover it nor do I have time to obtain a job with my double major. I have exhausted many options and begun writing to politicians and organizations whos seminars I have attended, to obtain the funding. My positive optimism and motivation keeps me viciously learning new things from morning until night and the thought of not attending this learning experience is not an option. If you have any recommendations of those I should write to that share my sincere, sympathetic dream and persistence for a better future it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Jake Atchoo

Hi Patrick,
Great site - I have followed much of it since hearing you at New Wine back in the late 90s. Fantaastic!

I am surprised to find that the RSS feeds dont work in Google Reader. From the front page of global change - in the URL bar you are given the option of RSS2.0 or Atom1.0 both links take you to an identical copy of the front page - but if pasted in to Google reader both feeds are unknown?

The mystical point of connectivity

Dear Dr. Dixon,

I have rarely spoken in public, yet I would consider myself to be a great keynote speaker.

I grab attention, have provocative ideas which last, give people hope and boost morale, change the lives of those I meet, communicate the most complex ideas in a single phrase, take the wider view - setting the tone and perspective for everything that follows, entertain as well as inform, create a buzz, and boost conference morale; intensely interested in other people, warm and confident in what I am saying without being arrogant, flexible in that I view an event’s success to be more important to me than my own ideas, work closely with organizers to make the message fit well, good team worker, pay the closest attention to detail to get it right, and charm with my voice. Feels when the mystical point of connectivity with my listeners is being approached, and with reaching sustaining at will that delightful connectivity for the remainder of the talk.

Then why; why is it that nobody needs me to speak at any of their events? Is there something ‘wrong’ with self-designating oneself a self-publishing, rural-philosopher-poet-artist of the lyrical kind; a 21st century nuptial hermit? Would it make a difference if I were to deny who I know and believe myself to be, and to be becoming?

With gratitude and well being,

Future-ly,

Richard

Dear Dr Dixon,
We are a highschool class from Australia who are mid-way through a futures course.

During a class discussion, we discovered your youtube channel and were thrilled to see such an effective explanation and presentation of what a Futurist undertakes.

We would like to thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. You have inspired us to continue our studies and perhaps pursue a career in this field.
Yours Sincerely,

Crisis

You are the only person that seems to be talking about the true nature of the current crisis. Here is something most people are missing.

The whole subprime crisis has been caused in large by banks trying to cash in as fast as they can to mitigate the "future" loses that the foreclosures would cause. At the same time those actions caused a snowball effect in making the crisis even deeper. These same investors then moved on the next moneymaking scheme... commodities and created a bubble there too. Now the homeowners have three problems to deal with, high fuel cost, high interests and job losses. And the US government pumps money to save the banks -sigh-...
Had the banks acted rationally and renegotiated the loans with the home owners instead of ravaging them like vultures, a lot of this would have been avoided.

The governments should have pumped all this money to strengthen small businesses and help folks keep their houses instead of helping banks continue their tantrum...

Geothermal Heat Pumps

I have viewed your YouTube address on the subject of Geothermal Heat Pumps. You refer to 45% of NZ's new buildings having Geothermal Heat Pumps. This surprises me as it is almost impossible to find a firm who has any experience in the field - in standard heat pump technology - YES, but not in geothermal. Could you please confirm where your information has come from in regard to NZ?

I am a senior in high school from the United States and to graduate I am required to create a presentation on a current social issue. I also am required to interview at least one person and ask them a few short questions concerning my topic.
I have chosen to do my presentation on genetic engineering and after viewing your video on the future of genetic engineering I was wondering if I could use you as my interview source. If you could please consider this and let me know as soon as you have the time it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Patrick Dixon

I am a mother 42 years old. It has been two months that my son died, killed by a criminal hand. He was only 17 years old when he stopped breathing, and he doesn`t have the chance to live his most beautiful days of life.
His name is Mario Kuka and he was away from the family for 3 years, in Rennes of France, living with his uncles. It has been 2 months that he is reposing in the grave of Kavaja city in Albania.
I am glad that science has made a great progress which gives me hope to have back my child that I miss everyday more.
I hope you could understand and help me to contact you for further information concerning about the possibility of cloning my child.
I would like to thank you with my heart for this kind communication

Here above is an experiment I made in around 15 minutes. I just spoke into it to record the sound track, chose a photo and then adjusted the eyes, mouth and facial expressions as the video played back to set the animations in place. I am sure your children will enjoy playing around with it and uploading their own creations onto their YouTube sites.

I've heard of you and knew could fulfill their specific request for:

"an energetic speaker come and discuss forward thinking and relevant topics for our industry for 2-4 hours. Some examples would include sustainability, lean process, or items that your organization is seeing as a current trend relevant to purchasing and supply chain."
