I just learned that Sandy Fraser, a pioneer in networking (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_…) and the former head of AT&T Labs Research, died last week.
Visionary keynotes are hard to make good. They often either seem like second-rate science fiction, with a particular aesthetic of trailing highlights, or they repeat the same buzzwords. AR! ML! Blockchain! Adding references to SDGs doesn't make a 6G keynote any better.
Expansive keynotes (there must be a better term...) expand the view of a sub-discipline, e.g., by connecting the core or tools of a research area to new applications or techniques. They can often be inspiring, but this is getting harder since CS is now embedded everywhere.
(Almost) every conference has a keynote - or a bunch. We usually think about the speaker, not what we want from a keynote: retrospective, visionary or expansive.
I like retrospective keynotes, where researchers or industry veterans share their perspective on a maturing sub-field or idea. What worked? What seemed like a good idea at the time, but wasn't? What were the surprises? Anything worth revisiting?
