Call for speakers at Seattle Ignite Feb 13, 2007

http://www.igniteseattle.com/2007/01/call-for-speakers-at-ignite-deux-on...

"It is time for you to submit your Ask Later proposal to the next Ignite! What do you want to tell Seattle in 5 minutes? You get 20 slides for 15 seconds a slide and you can’t control it...

How will selections be made? They will be based on content (will it appeal to geeks?) and what else is in the program. There will be no repeat speakers from the first Ignite. One tip: we found that the best, most popular talks were not straight product demos, but instead focused on personal experiences that could easily be applied to other people’s own project and lives.

Looking for inspiration? Check out the previous speaker list and watch the videos from last time.

Ignite Seattle is a geek event that combines on-site geekery, sharing, and innovation (and drinking). The next one will be held upstairs at the CHAC on Tuesday, February 13th. The Make Contest will begin at 6:30; the Ask Later talks will begin at 8:30. Videos and photos from the previous Ignite are available. Admission is free. <============ yea!

Note: Speakers will be chosen and announced a rolling basis, but the final speakers will not be chosen until the 7th - meaning you have a definite advantage if you submit early!

Ignite Seattle [02/13/07]

Ignite is a series of geek nights in Seattle. It is hosted by Brady Forrest of O’Reilly Radar and Bre Pettis of Make. The nights combine a Make contest (like a popsicle bridge-building contest) and a series of fast-paced, short-form tech talks. The first Ignite was a great success with 17 bridge-building teams, 25 speakers, and 250+ attendees.

The next Ignite will be held at the Upstairs at the CHAC on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, 2/13.
