Illustrated Keynotes Big Paper Strategy Sketchnotes + Graphic Recordings

May 21, 2021 // by Matt Orley

The keynote address is a leading way to get event attendees (live or virtual) into their seats for a day full of conference or event activities! Several clients this year requested that I illustrate for a keynote address. The modalities are broad of course in a pandemic year- live in person on paper, live in person digitally for a virtual audience, live in person analog for a virtual audience, live virtually for a digital audience, and recorded for a virtual audience.

Below are some examples of keynotes that I can share from this past season. Every keynote address is different- some are wide and wandering, others are laser focused on a single topic.

vidgo Keynote address illustrated - Shane Cannon — Parks Associates gives the floor over to one of their partners to talk about the state of their own business.

Live Graphic Recording of Jim Pelley keynote at NASPO Exchange Event — Live Illustration of keynote by Jim Pelley- humorist. Created live on stage with some back and forth banter (they gave me a microphone -brave customer!)
