Ignite Reno #4 - Call for Speakers!

Colin Loretz — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:38:50 +0000

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!

What is Ignite Reno?

Colin Loretz — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 00:40:05 +0000

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!

First Ignite Reno event postponed to March 7

Colin Loretz — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:09:18 +0000

We’re going to go ahead and assume you’ve all had too much excitement in the new year:

• You’ve returned to your work or school routine
• The country has a new Commander in Chief
• You’re still playing with those new fancy gadgets and toys from the holidays

And amidst all this excitement you just couldn’t find the time to put together a proposal for that 5 minute presentation you were dying to give at the first Ignite Reno Event.

Unfortunately, due to the underwhelming number of proposals that have been submitted for our first event, we will be postponing the event. There is some silver lining in doing so:

• You have time to put together your proposal for your 5 minutes of fame
• The first Reno Ignite event will take place after the first-ever Nevada Interactive Media Summit

Reno Ignite #1 will take place at 6pm on March 7, 2009 at Se7en on West in the West Street Market.
