Seems like a keynote that was thrown together last minute. Full of awkwardness and lacking any substance.

I guess I was not the only one who thought the keynote today was embarrassingly bad. The first lady to come out was robotic sounding and made some terrible attempts at humor.

Happy International Women's Day. Her name was large and on the screen but apparently easy to miss! That "first lady to come out," was Diane Greene, the SVP of Google Cloud.

what does women's day have to do with that terrible presentation?

[sheraz]

exactly -- The first lady to come out seemed so lost and literally said something like "more clouds" and "more 9's on uptime" for 2017. Thats when I clicked off...

Clicking you back on, "the first lady to come out" was Diane Greene, the SVP of Google Cloud.

Hey Doug -- I see what you are doing, and I reject the premise. Your tone implies that @meddalpal and I have somehow made a sexist remark by referring to a presenter as "the first lady to come out."

She was the first lady to come out, and I would imagine that many watching did not know who she was. Had it been a guy I would have said "That first dude on stage was a train-wreck of a presenter."

There is sexism in the world, but it is not here.
