Patrick Dixon with 800 physical and 300 virtual audience in Lithuania just after Lockdown
Here are a number of entire keynotes - but remember, each keynote is customised closely in a co-creation process with the organisers.
Patrick Dixon has worked with around 400 of the largest companies in every industry, often sharing platforms with their CEOs at their most important client events.
270,000 have watched this leadership keynote - live audience of 4500 executives
The process always starts with a conversation - what do you want to achieve with your event? Physical or Virtual or Hybrid?
Patrick Dixon has spoken to over 800,000 on a single live webinar and is an expert on creating totally engaging, dynamic, interactive and entertaining virtual keynotes.
He also knows how to engage large physical audiences in the first few seconds and how to hold attention until the very end.
Videos are of course a poor record of what actually happens in an audience.
Videos never capture the powerful "electricity" generated between a world-class speaker and a live audience.
Being there, breathing the same air, sharing in the audience experience as an entire group shifts attitude, perspective, expectation and direction.
Videos can inform, but shared events are more likely to transform.
It's about seeing the world in new ways: revelation, rather than information.
Watch this keynote for HUPAC - global rail company on transport trends - for multi-language audience.
Each keynote is customised, created for each event.
Presentation style varies from vast screen multimedia, high octane "theatre" in front of 4,500 people, to TV studio-type fast-moving multiscreen for several hundred people, to more traditional banquet halls, or more intimate events for 50-100 or board room style, informal workshops and seminars.
Speed of delivery also varies - depending on language mix present, interpretation and so on.

It seems oiouvbs that imposing structured measurement methodology, designed to improve repetitive processes, to manage creative activities would not be a good idea. Innovation thrives on lateral thinking, antithesis of six sigma IMHO.
