keynoting

Delivering main speech

Keynoting is delivering or serving as a keynote—the principal speech or address that sets the tone for a conference, convention, or event.

A keynoting speaker establishes themes that subsequent sessions will develop: She's keynoting at the tech summit next month.

The term extends to any activity that establishes a dominant theme or emphasis.
