Another Ignite Phoenix is coming up, Tuesday, November 3, 2009 6pm-9pm. I had the pleasure of speaking at Ignite Phoenix #2, where I took 5 minutes to show how data visualization can give us new ways to see things.
If you haven’t been to an Ignite, you should. Even if you’re not in Phoenix, there are Ignites held all over the world. Find one near you and check it out!
Videos from past Ignite Phoenix presentations.
Ignite Phoenix is an information exchange for fostering and inspiring Phoenix’s creative community. In one evening, you hear 18 passionate speakers from our creative, technical, and business communities talking about their current projects or favorite ideas for just five minutes. Presentations will educate and inspire you, and maybe make you laugh in the process.
Up to 20 slides and 5 minutes is all you get. Not a second more. The presenters need to get to the point quickly, and make it exciting and engaging.
We welcome topics about anything that other people will find interesting. That’s a wide criteria and that’s just fine. If the most interesting submissions end up being technical, then Ignite will have a technical feel. There is a wide mix of topics. If you’re not interested in the current topic, all you have to do is wait for 5 minutes and a new one starts.
