What is an Ignite Event? Ignite is a presentation style limited to 5 minutes (20 slides auto-advanced at 15 seconds each). Presenters do not have control of the advancement of slides and must tune their presentation to that timing.
Following is a preliminary list of 'lightning talks'. We'd like more! If you are interested in presenting in this educational and entertaining evening session, please send an email to
