# Keynote info Dear ApacheCon Keynote Speaker, With the event just a week away, I wanted to give you some logistical information about how it's going to work on the day of your talk. Please see https://www.apachecon.com/acah2021/tracks/keynotes.html for the full schedule of keynotes. Times are in UTC. Prior to the event, you MUST register for the event, so that you will be able to gain access to the conference platform. If you have not already done this, please do this NOW, at https://hopin.com/events/apachecon-2021-home Please plan to arrive *at least* ten minutes early for your keynote, so that we can ensure that everything is operating correctly. You will join the "backstage" portion of the Hopin platform, at https://app.hopin.com/events/apachecon-2021-home/backstage/076b14a8-0ca7-4d38-8f81-b882cf8ebaa0 This part of the platform allows us to line up speakers before they go "on stage". Please wait there while the speaker before you finishes, and then you will be put "on stage" for your presentation. Your keynote is *fifteen minutes* long. If you run long, it affects the rest of the day, so please do not go over your allotted time. If you wish to practice, or otherwise ensure that your setup is working correctly, you can use the "Test your audio/video and screen share" session, which will run the duration of the event. If you want to have someone validate that everything is working, please email me at rbowen@apache.org, or Brian Proffitt at bkp@apache.org, and we will arrange something with you. If you have any difficulties or questions before or during the event, you can email one of us, or (during the event) message us directly via the Hopin platform itself.
