“Enlighten us, but make it quick” is the mantra and key to Ignite talks. This truly fun, exciting and unique presentation format brings together community members involved in technology, arts, communications, education, non-profit, the government sector and more. Here’s how it works:
During Ignite Charlotte, members from the community will share their personal or professional passions using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total talk time of 5 minutes. Talks ranging from Your Office Chair is Killing You to Chestnuts and Nanocyles are thought up by those of you in the community who have the guts to get on stage to enlighten us with your creativity. Admission to Ignite Charlotte is FREE with a ticket! Stay tuned for more details on how to RSVP!
