Clarification
In case anyone was confused by my status update on Facebook (and I know someone was): I will not be giving the opening speech, or any sort of plenary presentation. I will be giving the introductory course on Objectivism -- the course of six lectures covering the whole system for those who are new to it. I expect an audience of about 20. This is an important job, I think, but it is certainly nothing like a keynote address.
