It’s been away, but now its back! with not one, but two favourite videos!
First up Lean programming (the fridge vs the radiator) by Jason Yip Ignite Sydney
Why we like it?
Andy says: I’m afraid that the sound is a bit quiet on this video, but it is an excellent example of a slightly different approach to Ignite slides. The subject matter is on a professional and fairly serious topic, but his hand drawn, stick men type cartoons, add a lot of additional message to support his point, and a bit of humour as well. Enjoy!
and The Sex Lives of the Great Renaissance Masters by Ben Hammersley from our very first Ignite London.
Claire says: This is my favourite ignite talk ever. Ignite london #1 was filled with so many amazing talks, but this one holds fast in my memory. “are we ready to do art!? yeh! woo” hell yes. It constantly inspires me to find out new slighly bizare but interesting things about art and culture.
From these two examples you can see just how wide and diverse ignite talks can be. Tell us about what interests you! send us a proposal to speak at ignite london #3
Email your proposal to speakers@ignitelondon.net.
Apologies for being rather quiet over the last few weeks, we haven’t forgotten we have been beavering away behind the scenes to make sure that Ignite London 3 is the best yet! We can’t wait to get back to The Luminaire on Tuesday 28 September 2010, be prepared for a spectacular event.
Sounds good right? Want to be involved? Yes? Excellent! We are still looking for speakers!
What do you want to tell people in 5 minutes? If there’s a topic you are passionate about and you to tell the world, in front of a very enthusiastic live audience, this is the place to do it. Any topic at all! We’re after a mix of funny and serious personal and social, low and high tech, digital, analog, crafty, webby, environmental, quirky and mainstream. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us think, enlighten us. The only thing we insist on is No Sales Pitches.
