Ignite Google I/O: Digital Art, Data, Wave & Cheezburgers

MAY 17, 2010

I'm returning to host Ignite at Moscone West for the third Google I/O on Wednesday at 4pm PST (here's the wave). The short talks will be a mixture of tech culture, tech achievements and tech challenges. Our nine speakers will be the perfect cap to the Day 1 of the conference. Each speaker will have just 5 minutes to tell their tale via 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds.

In no particular order, our speakers are:

Krissy Clark - Narrative Landscapes (Or a Vision I Had in the Desert)
Ben Huh (I Can has Cheez Burger) - Evolution of the Meme
Matt Harding (Where The Hell Is Matt?) - The Imaginary Line of Ancient Cosmic Weirdness
Clay Johnson (Sunlight Foundation) - Tales from the District: How Washington Publishes Data
Bradley Vickers - How to Row across the North Atlantic, Ration Food and Not Have Your Teammates Eat You
Aaron Koblin (Google/Sheep Market) - Digital Art
Michael Van Riper - Confessions of a Serial Community Organizer
Anne Veling - Feeling Lonely on Google Wave
James Young - You Sank My Battleship!

In case you want to brush up on Ignite before Google I/O, you can peruse the Ignite Show video site. Ignite is in over a hundred cities world-wide, and we collect as many of the talks as we can at www.igniteshow.com.
