About Ignite Waterloo

Ignite Waterloo is a community-driven event that captures the best of Waterloo Region’s geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on a wide range of topics, from “high altitude medicine” to “How to change a politician’s mind”.

Imagine that you’re on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, accompanied by a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you’re ready or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the pressure?

We’re always looking for help with putting on our events. If you would like to help organize, let us know (be sure to let us know how you want to help). Here are the people behind Ignite Waterloo:

    Very cool! Still getting myself re-situated into the community after a couple of years away… would love to help out. Let me know if there’s anything I can do!

    Is there also going to be an event in Toronto?

    Hi Steven – There is Ignite Toronto, but it’s run by Toronto folks and we’re not involved.
