Keynote speech
In a keynote speech (also keynote speech ), the speaker briefly and concisely presents the core data and absolutely most important facts on a specific topic, situation, etc. in a maximum of twenty minutes and presents the resulting theses in order to achieve a fruitful, if possible, relatively quickly to reach a controversial discussion in which the speaker determines the course of the discussion by means of his given questions. Accordingly, it differs from the type of the classic lecture or lecture, especially in terms of its significantly shorter length and the concise, often fragmentary manner of presentation that is inevitably associated with it.
The primary function of the keynote speech is to provide an insight into an often very specific subject area, to work out content-wise controversial and sometimes contradicting viewpoints and to discuss them more extensively on the basis of the introductory facts given previously. Ultimately, it is about conveying as much basic basic knowledge as possible and the facts that are considered relevant for the discussion of the theses in a very short time .
