First and only time this happened. An audience member did one of their photos of the group and then a selfie with me on stage. How serendipitous that my selfie captures the rare moment.

The official conference photographer is never in any photos. i fixed that, before launching the Keynote. This Keynote is in South America.

Disney speaker Jeff Noel
Sometime after the keynote or executive engagement, each person will stumble on the photo of themselves and ask why they have that photo. It is unlikely they’ve ever been asked to do what i asked them to do.
