We are happy to announce details of how you can get tickets for Ignite London 5 at 93 Feet East on 8th November 2011.

If you didn’t already realise tickets are free and only guarantees admission for one person until 19:30, after this point we reserve the right to let other eager people in who have waited or tried their luck at the door.

As tickets have previously sold out in record time of 5 minutes or less, we have decided to continue releasing them in 3 batches to give everyone a fair chance of grabbing one. We will announce each batch release again closer to the time to help remind you.

So head on over to our Eventbrite  page and keep a close eye on this site and our twitter account as tickets will be made available on:

Thursday 20th October 2011 at 1230

 Sunday 30th October 2011 at 1900

Tuesday 1st November 2011 at 1230

Tickets are limited so please only take one if you are able to attend. Previous events have shown ticket holders not informing us they would be unable to make it. This meant that people on the waitlist were unable to have a chance of attending in their place.

Therefore if you are unable to attend please inform us as soon as possible via tickets@ignitelondon.net, thus allowing us to redistribute the ticket to someone able to use it.

We wish you the best of luck in getting a ticket and look forward to seeing you at Ignite London 5.

With great pleasure we are happy to announce Flip as our Ignite London 4 Assisting Sponsor. Cisco’s Flip has lent us a couple of their brand new 3rd generation UltraHD video cameras, meaning our #igniteLDN4 videos will feature multiple camera angles. So for those wanting to relive memories from the night or who were unable to attend, now you’ll also be able to see the reaction from the audience too.

Since the debut of Flip video cameras in 2007, they have changed the way the world captures and shares video, whether recording family occasions, eyewitness reports or gigs. Notably all of our Ignite London events have been recorded on a Flip UltraHD by Richard, so it’s great to have Flip on board with us.

Simplistic in its nature, the 3rd generation of UltraHD and MinoHD models offer slim devices, with 720p resolution at 60 frames per second, all at an affordable price. New features include hardware based image stabilisation and the FlipPort connector, allowing accessories such as wireless microphones, battery extenders and pocket projectors to be plugged in.

If you see the red light then give us a wave!

With great pleasure we are happy to announce FatDUX:
Wall Of Tweets as our first Ignite London 4 Promotional Friend. FatDUX have produced a brand new twitter wall to feature your lovely #igniteLDN4 tweets on the night.

FatDUX is headquartered in Copenhagen, with their Wall Of Tweets solution produced by their Zagreb group. This further shows the outreach for Ignite London as part of Global Ignite Week 2011. We believe you will agree that Wall Of Tweets produce the most beautiful and engaging displays for events; with impressive references from Microsoft, TEDx, Macworld, the 41st World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and most recently the European Union Council.

Improvements to their 2.0 version include showing your event photos on the wall, big bold avatars and digital signage to name a few. It will incorporate the previously implemented display of the most active tweeps, schedules, timetables and videos. All of course made in Microsoft Silverlight.

We hope this will encourage interaction with you our wonderful audience and garner a few laughs!

Ignite London will be back for #igniteLDN4 on Tuesday 8th February 2011 as part of Global Ignite Week at our brand new venue 93 Feet East.

We are pleased to announce that our call for speakers is now open.

If there’s a topic you’re passionate about and willing to spend five minutes sharing it with an enthusiastic audience including the whole world (via our vimeo channels and Ignite Show), then this is your chance. 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. To get an idea of the wide range of previous talks take a look at the our videos of previous events.

How to submit a Proposal

Complete the online submission form on our Speak page.

Please include as much information about your proposed presentation as you can, as this will help us determine who is chosen for the line-up.  Please note that 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 Monday 10th January 2011.  Based on previous events we expect to receive many more submissions than can be accommodated, so the more information you can give about your talk, the better. We will endeavour to respond to your proposal as soon as we can 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 and subjects that have been covered at previous Ignite London events. It would be great to have more female speakers too.  We’ll let you know soon after the deadline whether your proposal has been successful in order to give you as much time as possible to prepare.

We look forward to reading your proposals and good luck!

With great pleasure we are announcing our fantastic venue for the next Ignite London event, as part of Global Ignite Week 2011!  93 Feet East in Shoreditch will be our venue sponsor for Ignite London 4 on Tuesday 8th February at 7pm.

We are really ecstatic about this venue because it provides us with even greater capacity, has a fantastic atmosphere, is more central and offers plenty of places for you to dine before or after the event.

93 Feet East is a large independent music venue located in the heart of Brick Lane, converted from the Old Truman Brewery and plays host to upcoming and established acts.  They celebrated their tenth anniversary this year and continue to be one of the most popular independent live, club and bar venues in London.

After visiting the main hall, we’re certainly looking forward to seeing a lot more of you on the night, even more so from the balcony.  We feel that we’ve found a new home for Ignite London.

A call for speakers will be announced very soon, with all the details how and where to submit your proposal.  Don’t forget to follow this blog and our social media links found in the sidebar, to hear about when tickets will be released.
