Great, the day after I give my talk, Secrets of No-Yawn Speeches appears on the Businessweek website. I've been giving conference&convention talks for a while and feel pretty comfortable about them, but still it would have been good to get "reinspired" by these comments.
By the way, one of points of advice was to only mention your company once. The first keynote speaker Steve Burrill, Biotech guru, only mention his company a couple times and was one of the most informative talks I've seen (twice, saw it at a BayBio meeting and actually modified his key slide for my recent slides). But the second keynote speaker, Fred Colen, spent his entire talk discussing Boston Scientific and their stent technologies. Not that the latter was bad, he essentially gave a history of their drug-eluting stent and its impact on their business, just that it went against the BW advice and was definitely a long infomercial for BS.
