Ignite: what is it?

November 2nd, 2009

Ignite is a dozen speakers, each given 5 minutes to present a topic they’re interested in while 20 slides automatically rotate every 15 seconds.  Yes Ignite is fast paced.  This quick transfer of information is enough to let you, the audience, decide “do I want to hear more?”  If you do, follow up with the speaker, or look more into the topic online.  If not, well it was only 5 minutes.  Ignite can help you explore new topics, make new connections, and be fun at the same time.

How does it work?

First off people who would like to speak at Ignite submit a topic(a title and a brief description) The community votes on the topics, and the top ones get picked.  This is open to anyone.  What to speak at Ignite NM 4?  Submit your topic here.

The speakers that get chosen are notified, and the get their talks together.  Then we all come together on December 2nd to watch them present.
