First Year Anniversary of Ignite Reno

Colin Loretz — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:58:32 +0000

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 #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!
