Posted by Mark Connolly in Apply to Speak, Ignite Waterloo 3 on March 27, 2010
As some of you may already know, Ignite Waterloo 3 is set for July 7, 2010. Several people have already expressed interest in presenting an Ignite Talk, but we’d like to hear from anyone else who is interested in doing so as well.
Are you interested? Take some time to learn more about us and the Ignite format. Have a look at the videos of presentations from the first two Ignite Waterloo events. That should give you a good idea of what our events have been like. Also, take a look at an Ignite talk by Scott Berkun on how to do an Ignite Talk. Finally, we’re planning an Ignite Waterloo workshop to help prospective speakers prepare for their talk. It’s tentatively set for April 20, with details to come. If you hope to present an Ignite talk, keep the workshop in mind!
If all that sounds interesting to you, then please fill out an Ignite Waterloo speaker application. Do it soon though, as planning is already underway!
Update June 15, 2010: Speaker Applications for Ignite Waterloo 3.0 on July 7, 2010 are now closed. Please watch www.ignitewaterloo.ca for upcoming speaker requests for Ignite Waterloo 4.0, date TBA.
