Hey! Give an Ignite talk at our eighth event in February!

Posted by Mark Connolly in Apply to Speak, Ignite Waterloo 8, Speakers' Workshop on December 4, 2011

Ignite Waterloo 8 is coming in February, 2012. We’re well into planning our next event, and hope to announce details on the date and location soon. Of course, if there’s an Ignite event coming, that means that we’re looking for people who are passionate about a topic and who want to share their passion through an Ignite talk.

Who can give an Ignite talk? Anyone can! We’ve had an eclectic range of talks over the last two years, and we’ve been thrilled that so many people have been eager to speak. If you haven’t given a talk and want to give it a try, have a look at the details on what we’re looking for, and then apply right now to give a talk! If you’ve applied in the past but haven’t yet given a talk, don’t give up! Apply again to let us know that you’re still interested.

A speakers workshop

Still not sure? Try attending our next speaker workshop, where you’ll hear about what goes into preparing and delivering an Ignite talk, and learn from people who have given talks in the past about what it’s like. Our next speaker workshop is at 7:00pm on Monday January 9, 2012. As with previous workshops, it’s in the boardroom at Barley Works in the Huether Hotel, located at 59 King Street North in Waterloo. Just ask the great staff there to help you find the room if you’re unsure.

Great talks are a big part of what make Ignite Waterloo events such successful affairs. Come on out and share your passion.
