What is Ignite?

Gatherings of interesting people presenting interesting ideas really quickly. Each person gets 20 slides, for 15 seconds each, to share a passion for 5 minutes – it’s an exercise in distilled discovery that leaves you with a deeper sense of the community + possibility that surrounds you.

History

Ignite was started in Seattle in 2006 by Brady Forrest of O’Reilly Radar and Bre Pettis of Make. Since then 100s of 5 minute talks have been given across the world.
