The second ipad keynote took place on the second of March 2011. Apple sent invitations to journalists end of February for an event tacking place early march of that same year. It was again at the Yerba Buena center for the arts in San Francisco that Jobs took stage to reveal the iPad 2. Steve Jobs was actually already on medical leave at that time
Again this event was announced only a couple days prior. The event took place on March the 7th of 2012. The iPad 3rd generation was announced at this event.
