The Next Ignite: June 24th

Posted on 25 April 2010 by IgniteBC

The April 15th event was a massive success, and with it came many requests for another one! So, without further adieu, preparations are now officially underway for Ignite Vancouver II. The next event is June 24th, and it promises to be a ground breaker on may levels!

Wanna Earn $100 a MINUTE? Read on!

The next event will be a little different in that we will be awarding a prize of $500 to the best presentation of the night! Presentations will be judged based on votes from the audience via a Twitter polling solution. Everyone in the audience can vote for each presenter once. 50% of the vote will be audience generated, and 50% of the vote will come from the Ignite Organizing Team. If you would like to participate in this event, please submit your presentation idea ASAP because its a first-come-first-served basis! We will publish the final lineup on May 25th, and we will require your FINAL presentation to be submitted to us by June 10th. The sooner you complete your submission, the better your chances of getting in and getting the pick of where you want to be in the final lineup.

The Inaugural Event: April 15 @ Lux

Posted on 15 March 2010 by IgniteBC

The inaugural Ignite Vancouver will be held April 15 at Lux @ Caprice. The capacity of the venue is approximately 80 people, with room for speakers, stage, etc.

We already have a solid lineup of speakers for the event, but if you are interested in participating, we’re always happy to find a way and make room for you. Ignite Vancouver follows a simple format: 5 minutes, 20 slides, with each slide auto-advancing every 15 seconds. Come explain your passion, and spread the word! If you know of someone you’d love to see at Ignite Vancouver, tell them about it and ask them to participate, too. There’s no limit to the subject matter (within reason): think of an Ignite Event like an open mike night to raise awareness and inspire others.

Currently on the bill:

An entertainment industry leader talking about the evolution of television
An SEO expert that will reveal more about the inner workings of the 8000lb Gorilla
A dad that will give new and expecting parents the inside track to reclaiming 3 hours of sleep each night
A couple of funnymen
A couple of funny women
An event promoter with a unique spin on the economy of entertainment
A sustainability expert to help explain what sustainability is in simple English
A talk on business incubation within the enterprise

… and possibly even a few more. All said, the event is slated to be about 2 hours long, including the contest. This is also a licensed event and all persons attending or presenting must be of legal age.

All speakers should fill out the talk proposal form (below), to indicate you are interested in speaking.

The application deadline is 11:59pm, March 12 – so there’s still time! Download the Powerpoint slide template from this site, and submit a deck to us by the 20th of March. If we have room on this event you will be notified by March 25, otherwise we’ll schedule you for the next event. We’re looking forward to hear what you have to say!
