Ignite Salt Lake

Monday, March 1, 2010

Blog entry by Kersten Swinyard, The Leonardo's exhibits project manager

Are you a geek with extroverted tendencies? Do you actively seek opportunities to explain esoteric minutiae? Are you a quick draw with your power point trigger?

If you said yes to any of those three, then the March 4 Ignite Salt Lake is for you. The most lovable group of enthusiasts you'll ever meet gathers several times a year to woo and wow a local crowd with 5-minute presentations. The catch? Each of 20 slides auto-rotates after five seconds. Stay on your toes or risk embarrassment and heckling.

The beauty of Ignite events (a global franchise from O'Reilly Media) is that the topic is up to you — the only requirement is to cover something you're passionate about. Past Ignite Salt Lake presentations have covered building an internet radio station, interface design, why cats make lousy business consultants, and, of course, zombie defense for n00bs.


This Ignite's list of speakers promises to be just as entertaining and oddball as previous events. So, head over to The Stateroom on March 4 from 6 to 10 p.m. for the traditional building contest, 18 presentations, and live music for the evening.
