==Origin==
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century 1776]
The term key note comes from the [[practice]] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_cappella a cappella], often [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_singers barbershop singers], playing a note before [[singing]]. The note played determines the key in which the song will be performed.
==Definitions==
*1: the first and harmonically fundamental [[tone]] of a [[scale]]
*2: the fundamental or central [[fact]], [[idea]], or [[mood]]
*3: a central [[theme]], typically one set or introduced by a speaker at the start of a [[conference]]
==Description==
A '''keynote''' in [[public speaking]] is a talk that establishes a main underlying [[theme]]. In corporate or commercial settings, greater importance is attached to the delivery of a keynote speech or keynote address. The keynote establishes the framework for the following programme of [[events]] or [[convention]] [[agenda]]; frequently the role of keynote speaker will include that of convention moderator. It will also flag up a larger idea – a literary [[story]], an individual musical piece or event.
At [[political]] or [[industrial]] conventions and expositions and at [[academic]] conferences, the keynote address or keynote speech is delivered to set the underlying [[tone]] and summarize the core message or most important [[revelation]] of the event. Some of the more famous keynote speeches in the United States are those made at the party conventions during [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Democratic_Party Democratic] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Republican_Party Republican] presidential campaigns. Keynote speakers at these events have often gained nationwide [[fame]] (or notoriety); for example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama Barack Obama] at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Democratic_National_Convention_keynote_address 2004 Democratic National Convention], and have occasionally influenced the [[course]] of the [[election]]. In the commercial arena, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs Steve Jobs] delivered influential keynote speeches at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. Apple] product, system and service launches.
Keynote speeches are also given at the [[graduation]] and commencement [[ceremonies]] of colleges, universities, and major high schools, usually by accomplished academics or celebrities invited by the [[student]] body.
Keynote speakers are often selected to raise interest in a particular [[event]], such as a conference or large meeting sponsored by a corporation or [[association]], and draw attendees to attend that program. Selecting a keynote speaker who is well known for his or her expertise in a particular field, or who has wide name [[recognition]] due to other accomplishments, will probably raise [[enthusiasm]] among prospective attendees for a meeting or conference. Increasingly the word keynote is being used as a synonym for plenary session or "invited talk," with some conferences having an opening keynote, a closing keynote, and many other keynotes.
A keynote speaker may work [[independently]], be represented by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speakers_bureau speakers bureau], or by a new crowdsourced model such as the speakerwiki website. In the event that a speaker is represented by a traditional speakers bureau, a commission, typically 25%–30%, is due; however, this is traditionally and ethically absorbed by the speaker rather than the client so that the fee remains flat and transparently priced to the client.
