Speechwriters Conference Debrief 1 of 4: Jon Favreau keynote

The Silicon Valley Speechwriters Roundtable conference call took place Feb 20 at the end of the first day of the 2014 Ragan Speechwriters Conference. There were 16 callers online from around the country. The Roundtable is open to anyone who is interested in speechwriting in Silicon Valley, not just those of us who live and work there. The call lasted an hour, and I've divided the audio recording into four segments. In this first edited highlight from the call, conference MC and Vital Speeches of the Day editor David Murray, and Fletcher Dean of Dow Chemicals share their impressions of the opening keynote by Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau. By listening to David and Fletcher you'll hear first-hand impressions of one of the most compelling keynotes about the craft of speechwriting that it's been my privilege to hear.
