I'm sure JVN will say something (usually heckling from the back) but Karthik will be talking for most of the strategy presentation. JVN's panel is afterwards in the same room (come early get a good seat for all the presentations).

"Scouting is not a punishment" is an important point of Karthik's presentation. Making strategy fun for my team is my focus since I attended Karthik talk a few years ago. His talk inspires you to improve your approach to strategy.
Examples of improvements my team made:
-More technology usage
-Getting to know the team you are scouting
-More lively Friday night meetings
-Fantasy FIRST Draft for the strategy team before the event w/ prizes for winners.
