Ignite Chicago has spots for 20 presenters - do you have something to say? Email your presentation idea to ignitechicago@gmail.com, along with a short description of yourself.
We are managing the speaking agenda in a first-come-first-serve way, with some basic filtering for appropriateness. If we get too many submissions we will figure out a way to filter them further (perhaps a vote).
This is about 2 months away so should give plenty of time to prepare and seems to not conflict with anything major on upcoming.com
This may change, we will post once solidified.
There have been several Ignite events so far which give a flavor for what Ignite Chicago will be like -

Ignite looks like a lot of fun - let’s have one in Chicago.
What is an Ignite? It is a small conference built around 5 minute presentations that include 20 slides each (allowing for 15 seconds / slide).
The presentations must be about *how* to do something cool. For example, they cannot be about how great your startup is, but rather about something novel that you learned while creating your startup.
