Photoshop World Keynote Speaker: John Loiacono

For the last four years, Photoshop World has been fortunate to have one man as its keynote speaker, John Loiacono - senior vice president and general manager of the Adobe Creative Solutions Business Unit.

John Loiacono (or "Johnny L" as he is affectionately known) leads the development, delivery and marketing of Adobe's entire creative software portfolio, including flagship brands such as Adobe® Creative Suite®, Photoshop.com®, Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe InDesign®, Adobe Premiere Pro®, Adobe Flash®, Scene 7 and Adobe Dreamweaver®.

His easy-going attitude and sense of humor has really helped shape the Photoshop World Keynote speech over the years and his ability and willingness to share some of Adobe's largest news nuggets exclusively with the Photoshop World audience has helped put us firmly on the map.

... Of course, this does not mean that he's off the hook when it comes to our practical jokes...

Thank you Johnny L for helping us make the Photoshop World Keynote presentation the fun and informative spectacle that it is.

Johnny L. chuckles good-naturedly...

His easy-going attitude is readily apparent...

Johnny reveals to the world that Scott Kelby is indeed a robot!

The jokes continue as Scott presents Johnny L. with the lyrics from the Histograms' songs at PSW '07.

One of the best pranks ever! Johnny makes a football of Scott's head and kicks it into the audience. We still get photos of this football in locations from around the world!
