Ignite 8 Call for Speakers!

Apply Now

Ignite Ann Arbor 8 will be held at Blau Auditorium, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, at 7pm on Sunday November 17th, 2013! We are excited to bring Ignite to Ann Arbor again and are eager to see what the community comes up with.

A very big thank you goes to the U of M Master of Entrepreneurship program for providing Blau Auditorium as our venue!

Ignite talks are 5 minute talks where the speaker gets 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. We think that breeds creativity, and we like to see talks on a very wide arrange of topics, as you can see by looking at some of the previous talks to the left.

If you are interested, please fill out our application! The deadline for applying is midnight on October 17th, 2013. We encourage you to talk about something you have experience with, something you’ve done, or something whimsical. We’ve had more than a hundred talks, from hacking together your own camping equipment to holding a home funeral, from tracking your sleep to roller derby, from homemade near-space balloons to original fiction.

YOU can do this. Apply Now.
