Display & Confidence Monitoring

The screens the speaker needs and the audience never notices

Watch a good keynote speaker and you will not notice the screens they are using. They face the room, they know what is coming next, they finish on time, and they never turn round to read their own slides. All of that is the stage displays working: a confidence monitor at their feet, a timer at the back of the hall, perhaps two panes of glass beside the lectern carrying their script.
