Ignite London 2 – Call for Speakers

We are now requesting proposals for speakers at Ignite London 2. If there’s a topic you are passionate about and you want to tell the world, this is the place to do it. We’re after a mix of funny and serious, social and personal, high and low tech, crafty, webby, environmental, quirky and mainstream. Making us laugh is a good thing, making us think is even better! The only thing we insist on is No Sales Pitches.

How to submit a Proposal

Email your proposal to speakers@ignitelondon.net. Please include as much information about your proposed presentation as you can including the following:

• Your Name
• Title of Your Talk
• Brief description of what you want to talk about
• Twitter Name (if applicable)
• Email Address
• Contact phone number
• Blog or Website URL
• Short Bio – who you are and what you do

By submitting a proposal, you are agreeing that we may use your name and the title of your talk within Ignite London promotional material.

Deadline

Proposals must be received by 6 pm on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010. We are planning to have 15 speakers but based on the response for the first Ignite London, we’re expecting to receive many more submissions than can be accommodated. We will endeavour to respond to your email within 24 hours to confirm we’ve received it.

How will selections be made?

Talks will be primarily selected based on whether the topic is interesting, inventive, creative and unique. We will also make an attempt to select a wide range of topics so that there isn’t too much overlap in terms of content. We have put two or three spots aside for invited guest speakers, but there are still plenty of places to go for.  We’ll let you know soon after the 9th whether your proposal has been successful in order to give those selected as much time as possible to prepare.
