At the last couple Ignites here in New Mexico we have tried something new, and have gotten a great response. Reverse Ignite takes slides from other Ignites around the world and gets a volunteer from the audience to improvise the topic without seeing the slides ahead of time. At Ignite NM 4 we did 3 Reverse Ignites, Here are the first 2. Enjoy, I know we did (Thanks to @carolinecblaker and @signalnine)
Note: Do you have video from Ignite NM 4? Please share it with us. Due to some technical difficulties we are missing some footage. contact mick@davidmichaelthompson.com
