I'm really excited to be presenting this coming Wednesday evening at the third Ignite Boulder, being held at the ATLAS building at CU. Tickets to the event sold out in just 7 hours. (When I say 'sold out' I mean they were taken... the tickets are actually free.) That's scary fast.
Ignite is a fantastic event in which speakers have just 5 minutes and 20 slides to present their topic. There's no restrictions on topic and in fact this time around much of the topic selection was crowd-voted prior to selection. There are no sales pitches allowed and the presenters' slides are on auto pilot, so you have to keep up because once the ignition is pressed, there are no delays or going back!
In a town like Boulder which is so focused on tech and business, it's great to have an event which allows the community to present on stuff just for fun. Ignite lets you meet lots of other people, possibly learn something and laugh a heap.
If you're not in Boulder or missed out on a ticket, you can see the videos of all the presentations a day or so after the event. It's also going to be live through KBFR Pirate Radio here in Boulder.
