Ignite (event)
Ignite (Ignite Talks) is a series of events where speakers have five minutes to talk on a subject accompanied by 20 slides, for 15 seconds each, automatically advanced. Ignite started in Seattle, and it has spread to 350+ organizing teams in cities, universities, governments and companies who have hosted thousands of events.[1][2][3][4]
The first Ignite was held in 2006 in Seattle, Washington by Brady Forrest and Bre Petis, and was sponsored by O'Reilly Media and MAKE magazine.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] O'Reilly continued to support Ignite until November 2015 when the franchise was handed off to its founder, Brady Forrest, who formed Ignite Talks, PBC - a Public Benefit Corporation. Ignite Talks PBC was formed to be an independent organization focusing on supporting Ignite events around the world and promoting public speaking.[4]
