The Mainstage is the heart and soul of ICON. This is the part of the conference when all attendees are together in one place and are focused on a spectacular lineup of the industry’s top talent. The ICON12 Mainstage features three keynotes and over 45 speakers across two full days.

Attendees have a chance to speak on the Mainstage through Kaleidoscope, a rapid slideshow talk in the style of Pecha Kucha, Ignite, or Lightning Talks. Eight featured speakers present fast-paced narratives—20 slides x 20 seconds per slide—in a quick, casual round table style, and become part of ICON lore.
