Discovered IgniteDC just in time for them to close ticket sales for their inaugural event. Oh well!
The Ignite presentation format consists of strictly timed and advanced slide (read PowerPoint) presentations. The concept was born in Japan as Pecha Kucha, adopted by techies and other hipsters in the states, and renamed due to copyright issues.
I’ve known about Pecha Kucha/Ignite events for years, but haven’t had an opportunity to attend one. Hopefully, keeping a closer eye on a local version will eliminate this lack.
