Ignite is a series of geek nights started by Brady Forrest of
O’Reilly Radar and Bre
Pettis of Makerbot Industries that has since spread around the world. The
nights combine a Make contest (like a popsicle stick bridge-building contest) and a series of
fast-paced, short-form tech talks. To check out past Ignite talks, view the videos at http://ignite.oreilly.com/show.

I/O, we'll be doing a one hour Ignite on the first day of the conference (May 27).
In typical Ignite fashion, these talks will each be 5 minutes long with 20 slides and only 15
seconds a slide (they auto-advance). We want to hear your cool ideas, hacks, lessons, and "war
stories". What do you want to talk about?
We're looking for speakers to
participate, so if you're interested in submitting a talk, sign up via the form
below.
Submission
Deadline: May 11th Speaker Notification (rolling): May 12th
We’re taking submissions from everyone — whether this is your first time or whether
you’ve done an Ignite talk before. Once we've chosen the speakers, we'll be sharing who they
are after May 12. Stay tuned!
