Stream 2011 - Activities

What's a Streamlined Ignite talk? Four minutes on stage to talk about an idea, an interest or a passion. Our version is 15 slides that rotate automatically after 15 seconds. It's fun, it's fast, and the format forces you to really think about what you want to say.

Wow. Our Ignite session has filled up in record time. Thanks to all brave Streamers who posted a topic. This page is now closed, but your topic idea could make a great Discussion.

Note: If you have already talked with Candace or Thomas about doing an Ignite, but it is not posted here, email us now.
