Hey Guys,
I have been talking to a few people in town about setting up an ignite
birmingham event here in town. So far I have had good reaction and the
ipsa did a similar type of meeting earlier as well. Ignite captures
the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed
presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to
Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you're on stage in front of an
audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using
a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you're ready
or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the
pressure? Every week, find out how some of the smartest minds on the
planet dealt with this situation as your host, Brady Forrest,
highlights a different talk from Ignites around the world. For the
first event I would like to try to get a wide variety of topics from
as many fields as possible. Right now I am looking for people
interested in helping out on planning/and infrastructure. If you are
interested in helping with the planning let me know and I will add you
to the group.
Regards,
Henry

Just a note my idea is to run an ignite event at least 4 times a year
as a way of spreading cool ideas.
