Ignite Worldwide

MAKE magazine just announced that Ignite, the 5 minute presentation event, is going global this March. This is exciting to me because I participated in the inaugural 502 Ignite event earlier this year and had a great time.

My presentation was about my experience building a local community of project managers via LinkedIn and Ning, with the gist of it being how to get people to say: Thank You For Spamming Me. You can check it out here.

I tried to have a good time with it.

I also met Keith Ringer, CEO of MetroMojo, that night. Which was an extra bonus, as Keith is an awesome guy.

I really like the Ignite format, because it is a controlled five minutes at 30 seconds per slide. You have to say what you want to say and move on, or the slides will leave you in their dust. It’s great, and I encourage anybody thinking about it to do it.

March should be good times, for sure.
