> technologists, DIYers, local heroes, and creative professionals are
> expected to participate in cities including Seattle, Boston, New York,
> Nashville, Brussels, Paris, Sydney, and Bangalore. Igniters will gather
> in pubs, theaters, and other convivial venues for an evening that is a
> unique blend of networking, information, and fun, encapsulated in the
> Ignite motto: "Enlighten us, but make it quick." In talks that are
> exactly five minutes long, Ignite presenters share their personal and
> professional passions, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15
> seconds--whether they're ready or not. Global Ignite Week is both an
