I really do look forward to his talk every single year, and I can see where this can be disruptive if people are yelling bingo in an auditorium with 500 people including VIPs.

What am I not getting here?

We do not encourage yelling BINGO during the kickoff, it is disruptive and disrespectful. The original concept was mostly to get people to pay more attention to the speeches and presentations, rather than fiddling with pens, talking amongst themselves or playing on their phones. And while they are printer friendly, it's really set up for BINGO to be tweeted, rather than shouted verbally.
