One year ago, we held the first Ignite Reno following the inaugural Nevada Interactive Media Summit. We are very excited to see how the event has evolved.

In the past year, we held 4 Ignite Reno events featuring 30 speakers! You can view most of them at www.ignitereno.blip.tv

We couldn’t have done this without the support of the great audiences that show up to see our speakers perform within their quick-paced time constraints. Thank you!

Ignite Reno is back and we’re ready to kick off the new year with yet another great event!

We want to do something a little different this time around. We are going to have a theme for our speakers. A lot has happened in Reno in just the last year alone so we are wondering:

What did you learn in 2009?

You do not have to take the theme literally so anything you can share with our Ignite audience will be considered! Don’t by shy, submit a presentation proposal!

Ignite Reno #4
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
6:30pm-8:30pm
Location: The Amendment 21

The third Ignite Reno event will be taking place in conjunction with the University of Nevada, Reno’s Business Week. More information will be posted here soon!

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
6:30-8:30pm
Location: The Amendment 21

You can start submitting proposals to speak as soon as you’re ready!

The speakers for Ignite Reno #2 are listed below. We still have room for more speakers so if you’re interested in getting up and spilling your guts for 5 minutes, let us know by submitting a proposal!

Ignite is an ongoing series of speedy presentations. Each speaker is given 5 minutes to present 20 slides that auto-advance after 15 seconds. Each Ignite Reno is held at a bar & grill in Reno so you can enjoy drinks, meet new people, and hopefully learn a few things during these quick-fire presentations.

Ignite Reno #2 is on July 16th. Come out and watch the presentations or submit a proposal to speak!

Amendment 21 and Reno Collective will be sponsoring Ignite Reno #2 on July 16th at 6pm at Amendment 21. Food and drink specials will be available.

Call For Entries
If you’d like to speak at Ignite, please submit a short blurb for your presentation on the proposal submission form. Anyone can speak so come on out and share your expertise, knowledge or experiences with the community!
