Ignite Seattle

Ignite was a night of 25 presentations in Seattle and over 250 attendees. You can see the presentations on Blip.tv. There are instructions if you want to speak.

  • Talks will all be 5 minutes long.
  • They will all have 20 slides and each slide will be on the screen for 15 seconds.
  • The presenter will not have control of their computer.

Wow, that’s fun. I think we can learn from this to improve DemoCamp

    <p>Looks like an interesting event. Reminds me of a similar London based event I read about in the past year or so, but that I can't find the damn link for. As I recall it, a wide range of people (like architects, designers, artists and techies) made short, powerpoint supported presentations. The diversity made it sound really appealing to me.</p><br />

    <p>I like the idea of tweaking democamp in some way that doesn't exclude everyone who doesn't have a project that demos interestingly, though it wouldn't be <strong>demo</strong> camp then I guess. I'm sure there are lots of people in Toronto doing cool and interesting things that don't really fit in the current format.</p>
