If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.
We know it’s been a while, but the 10th edition of your favorite night of five-minute talks is just around the corner!
As with past Ignites Portland, we will be partnering with the Oregon Food Bank to collect donations of non-perishable food. This time, not only will donating some food make you feel warm and fuzzy, it’ll also get you into the Bagdad early! Doors will open 45 minutes early, at 5:00pm, if you bring a food donation. Otherwise, general admission will begin at 5:45pm. Come early, bring a donation, snag a choice seat, and get ready for some amazing talks!
Ignite Porltand is an entirely volunteer-run event and we’re still looking for some good volunteers to help out at the event. If you want to share your time and talent, please visit our volunteer page and sign up!
We hope you’re as excited as we are for Ignite Portland 10!
