Keynote Speech - Every year, Photoshop World turns to one man as its keynote speaker, John Loiacono - senior vice president of the Adobe Creative Solutions Business Unit.

"Johnny L" (as he is affectionately known) is responsible for the development, delivery and marketing of Adobe's entire creative software portfolio. 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, which is the other great thing about our keynote speech. With Scott and the "Photoshop Guys" at the helm, it's more like a rock concert or a comedy club than a conference.
