Speaking generally, and not about this post - Keynote speakers often aren't technical (enough), but speak about topics that have technical underpinnings.

Take for example, dangerous management consultants who speak all over the place about AI, disruption, innovation, digital transformation, but don't know technology, which is the underpinning of all the things they're speaking about.



I get this feeling from even some of the biggest conventions there are...cough I felt fairly fricken disenfranchised during a recent convention for a popular containerization solution...


Good point. "Technologists in management /leadership" groups need to form everywhere to get the right people speaking about topics they understand.

It's ironic that there is an imposter syndrome among competent people, and incompetent people have no issue being imposters.
