Minutes

Every Ignite talk lasts 5 minutes. No more, no less. Speakers talk about anything they are passionate about, get to the point, and get there quick.

Most humans are visual learners, so slides with interesting imagery are a key element of why Ignite talks are so engaging.

Seconds

Slides auto-advance every 15 seconds, so speakers must be clear and concise with their words. Every word counts.

 Be prepared for a fun night of 15 lightning-fast talks. Talks delivered by people who know their stuff.  Plot twist, their talks have to be exactly 5 minutes. Nothing like a time constraint to squeeze out the essence of someone’s knowledge. You will walk away, mind blown, energised, entertained and most definitely a little more enlightened.

“If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it.”

Join an awesome community of thinkers, dreamers, leaders and entrepreneurs
