Ignite is in LA tonight!
Ignite captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you're on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you're ready or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the pressure? Every week, find out how some of the smartest minds on the planet dealt with this situation as your host, Brady Forrest, highlights a different talk from Ignites around the world.
Brady Forrest says:
Ignite is coming to LA! As always speakers will get 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. We're going to be holding the geek event at Cinespace in Hollywood on 7/21.
This will be the first Ignite in Los Angeles; it is co-hosted by LA Geek Dinner. The LA G33k dinner was kind enough to let us take over their July dinner to host the first Ignite. LA G33k Dinner, founded by Heathervescent brings people with a passion for technology and the internet together over a meal where conversations happen, friendships form, and collaborations on various projects occur. L.A. Geek Dinner is an inclusive event. Find them on Facebook.
The event is free. We're hosting it at Cinespace on July 21:
6:30pm Geek Dinner starts
8pm-9:30 Ignite talks
10pm Cinespace opens to the eneral public for Dim Mak (you're welcome to stay for the band)
While the event is free, you are responsible for paying for your own food/drinks from Cinespace if you want 'em. Please RSVP to the Geek Dinner list on Upcoming.
Ignite LA is being organized by Brady Forrest, Matt Forrest, Dan Gould, and Heathervescent. If you're not familiar with Ignite check out some videos on the Ignite Show.
