Update: Ignite was a blast. Thanks to the Hive and Airdale Brewing for sponsoring, to all of our speakers for presenting, and to everyone who made it out to the event! If you took photos, please add them to our flickr group. Jason from the Hive posted a bunch of great shots too.
If you weren’t there, the slides are on slideshare (except for mine, which are here). We’ll be posting the videos within a week or so.
Ignite is coming to San Diego on August 12th. If you’re not familiar with Ignite, here’s how it’s described by the Ignite Show (emphasis mine):
Ignite captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you’re on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you’re ready or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the pressure?
Sound interesting? You can see how others have approached the challenge at the Ignite Show, where they’ve posted some of the best Ignite talks world-wide. Better yet, why don’t you show us how it’s done on August 12th?
Ignite San Diego is being held at The Hive, downtown San Diego’s fabulous new coworking space. It’s being organized by Patrick Crowley, Lisa Brewster, Uday Gupta, and me.
