How does this look in real time? (A 1985 Illinois metaphor.) “These new kids are messing everything up…” Magic Johnson

“I was the most dominant player here…but because the game was changing around me, I had to adjust how I play it…or I was not going to be successful anymore.” We used to be “game-changers” now the game is changing us. Magic Johnson

“How do we change so that we are still successful?” - Cornelius Minor

Day 2 #IDEAcon keynote is underway.

Ready for Day 2! @ideaillinois.bsky.social #IDEAcon

A keynote speaker, Evo Hannan, stands on a stage at IDEAcon 2025 in Illinois, delivering a presentation. He is wearing a dark suit and gesturing with his hand while speaking. A large screen to his left displays a slide with the quote, “The most outstanding teachers promote life-long learning,” along with the IDEAcon logo. The stage has a geometric backdrop with blue and purple lighting. The foreground shows round tables and chairs arranged for the audience.

The bottom of the slide includes the text, “THE POWER OF AN IDEA | EVO HANNAN | IDEACON 2025, ILLINOIS.” Captions from the live transcript are partially visible at the bottom of the screen.
