Toronto is proud to be the latest host of O’Reilly’s renowned Ignite! series, organized by Peter Horvath and Michele Perras. Ignite! captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you’re on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using 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 ready to see what Toronto has to say!
It’s a simple concept: a grassroots effort to make sure startup folks get in touch and stay in touch. The kickoff Toronto Startup Drinks followed hot on the heels of DemoCamp and was met instant enthusiasm. We are keeping the startup community alive, one pint at a time on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at local fave C’est What!
If you are around, don’t be afraid to say hi. The events afre shaping up to be a fun week of meeting new people and relaxing.
