Join me for rapid-fire ideas at Ignite Bridgetown (Update: Canceled)

Published on February 3, 2015

Update (February 4): Ignite Bridgetown has been given the axe. This article recounts the whole story. Twitter reads like a transcript of Maury today. What a mess. :(

Comparatively un-salacious original post

Ignite is returning to Portland this Thursday, February 5 thanks to Portland Startup Week, and I’m happy to be among the dozen speakers invited to participate.

From the event description:

Welcome to Ignite. Where each speaker gets a chance to present for five minutes. The catch? They only get 20 slides, no more, no less. And the presentation auto-advances every 15 seconds. Whether the speaker is ready or not. Once the presentation begins, it doesn’t stop until the last speaker drops the mic. For the speaker, it’s challenging. For the audience, it’s entertaining. But no matter what happens, it’s an unforgettable experience for everyone in the theater.

I’ve attended Ignite events in the past and they’ve always been fun. This one’s at OMSI’s Empirical Theater. Tickets are free but seating is limited, so RSVP soon!
