What is Ignite?
5 minutes
20 slides
Auto advance
Every 15 seconds
Enlighten us.
But make it quick.
It’s an urban thing.
Started in Seattle in 2006
Then ….
Boston, Phoenix
Mumbai, Sydney
Budapest, Boise
Wilmington (NC)
and now …
Twin Falls and Coeur d’Alene
Any topic is fair game in Ignite
• Gravitational modulation of bone cells
• Is shaving a necessity or just a load of
Schick?
• How to use a semi-colon
• Stop Shop: One year without shopping
• Roller Derby: More than Fishnets and
Bloody Noses
“Ignite is a geek event in over
100 cities worldwide. At the
events, Ignite presenters
share their personal and
professional passions, using
20 slides that auto-advance
every 15 seconds for a total of
just five minutes.”
Our Ignite today is a bit different!
Unless, that is, your passion is:
Raw sewage!!
Seriously though…
My passion is setting the bar as high as I can
possibly reach and then a little bit higher.
I want Idaho’s colleges and universities to
give students like you a chance to make a
difference in this world
AND to earn a good living.
