"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 geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers"... and now it has come to Philadelphia!
Ignite is a series of speakers talking about inspiring projects for 5 minutes. The presentations can be serious, funny, or somewhere in between. We just hope that it would help ignite something in someone.
Speakers include: The iSepta guys; Kristin Thompson of the Future of Music Coalition; NO CARRIER; 100K house; Pete Tridish of the Prometheus Radio Project; Alex Hillman of Indy Hall; and several more. The speakers are all doing exciting and inspiring things in Philadelphia.
The event will start around 6pm with speakers going on at 7pm.
We are really excited that Ignite is at Johnny Brenda's since they are supportive of the local community in so many ways.
The coordinators of Ignite Philly are Geoff DiMasi & Alex Gilbert of P'unk Avenue and the Junto, and Vanja Buvac & Far McKon of The Hacktory and Make:Philly.
It is FREE and open to the public.
