What is Ignite?
The concept is simple. Ignite is a series of short talks, called SPARKS, with a twist. Each speaker gets five minutes and 20 slides to make their point, enlighten, and entertain the audience. Learning by doing is key. This is where you come in. Ignite was started by Brady Forrest, Technology Evangelist for O'Reilly Media, and Bre Pettis of Etsy.com, formerly of MAKE Magazine. Ignite was inspired by Pecha Kucha Nights, where speakers are given 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds, giving each spark 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame. The first Ignite took place in Seattle in 2006, and since then the event has become an international phenomenon, with Ignite taking place in Helsinki, Finland; Paris, France; New York, New York; and many other locations across the globe. Ignite Fraternity #1 will be taking place during Global Ignite Week 2011. Learn more about Ignite here.
What is the format for Ignite Fraternity?
Speakers will have five minutes and 20 slides, with each slide automatically advancing every 15 seconds to present their SPARK. SPARKS can address the audience on any aspect of fraternity - could be ritual, could be recruitment, could be anything. Speakers will not be allowed to go longer than their alloted time, and must participate in a dress rehearsal on site.
This sounds cool. Can I see an example?
