If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world individuals have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers since 2006 with Ignite Bay Area now hosting a regular local series.
After hearing why e-literature is compelling and everything you can learn about relationships from roller derby, the second local program will be a co-ed event to celebrate Global Ignite Week. In the words of the founders: "During Global Ignite Week, impassioned speakers from all walks of life—entrepreneurs, technologists, DIYers, artists, farmers, and creative professionals—will present innovative ideas and solutions before an enthusiastic, often standing-room-only hometown crowd..they'll aim to live up to the Ignite motto: 'Enlighten us, but make it quick.'"
We've very much looking forward to the following speakers, presented thanks to Wordpress and Automattic: Dylan Tweney // Wired Tiffany von Emmel // Dreamfish Paul Salazar // Urban Astronomer Scott Rosenberg // MediaBugs Michael Zuckerman // Temple Nightclub Rod Begbie // Slide Thomas Goetz // Wired Marc O'Brien // Nada Bike Dr. Debbie Findling // Goldman Fund Dr Lisa Chu // The Music Within Us Augusta Hopkins // Sustainable Business Advocate Christian Crumlish // Yahoo Rebecca Weeks Watson // GWallet Greg Allen // Northern California Community Loan Fund Michael Driscoll // Dataspora Jennifer Lindsay // Jennifer Lindsay Digital
