Keynotes and General Sessions

At a convention or conference you will want to attend the opening keynote or other general sessions. These major speeches are informative industry gatherings and will give you the latest on what's currently happening. They will have either well known personalities, government officials or association officers speaking for about an hour. They may also conduct other business such as giving out awards, introducing prominent people or fund raising auctions for the association or a charity.

If you haved signed for the entire event and paid the convention or conference fee you will be invited to these sessions. Some events have extra seats and they don't check at the door for tickets so you may be able to just walk in if you have an expo or trade show badge on a lanyard. However you are able to get in, it's information you will want to hear if at all possible. In some events you may even get lunch or dinner.
