Ignite SF

Ignite returns to San Francisco as part of O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco, taking place on Tuesday, April 22nd at the DNA Lounge. Organized by Brady Forrest of O’Reilly Radar, Ignite is made up of 5 minute talks, each featuring 20 slides, with 15 seconds per slide. They are still looking for speakers, so submit your talk.

At the Web 2.0 Expo SF we’re going to have an Ignite Event on Tuesday, April 22nd. We’re also going to use voting to select Ignite talks for the Main Stage. It is patterned after Ignite Seattle! Specifically, we are going to have about 16 Ignite talks. These talks will each be 5 minutes long with 20 slides and only 15 seconds a slide. Anyone who is attending Expo or Web2Open is welcome to speak or attend. Topics should fall in the realm of web 2.0 technology, entrepreneurship, life hacks, or something else that you think a room full of internet junkies will appreciate. Stories and lessons work better than product demos. Submit your talk.

Ignite is free to attend, you’ll just need to register for Web2Open.
