Themes by year
What 78 keynotes were about, 2024 to 2026: each keynote carries 1 to 3 of 16 themes, so the story can be compared across years and conferences
A cell counts that year's keynotes tagged with the theme; darker means a larger share of that year's keynotes. Years with fewer than five keynotes on file, and keynotes still pending a summary, are left out of the grid.
