About This Template

A great keynote shifts how the audience thinks. Use the stage monitor view and cue messaging so your AV team can send you real-time direction from the booth.

Tips for This Script

  1. Connect your AV team via QR code — they can send you cues like "slow down" or "wrap up" from the back of the room.
  2. Use the countdown timer. Most speakers go 20-30% over when nervous.
  3. Record your full rehearsal. Watch it back at 1.25x speed to catch rambling.
