What is Ignite?

Ignite, is a community-driven event comprising a series of speed presentations. Ignite events skew toward the geeky and wonkish, are usually innovative and fresh, and always involve drinking.

Basically, a person prepares a brief presentation on any topic. They get exactly 20 slides to tell their story, and each slide displays onscreen for exactly 15 seconds. So that's 5 minutes per presenter.

We hold the event at a bar or auditorium. There may be twenty or so different presenters any given night. There is always free beer

Then, you come, and watch, and drink free beer. You might even learn something. In any case, you'll have a great time.
