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!

Announcing Ignite London 4: 93 Feet East, 8th February 2011

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.

Details about 93 Feet East can be found on their website, facebook and twitter.

The address is 150 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL and is about 12 minutes walk from Liverpool Street underground/rail station and as you’ll see from the map below is surrounded by several other stations.
