The rules

The concept is easy. Ignite combines great ideas, the local community, a stage and plenty of drinks, to create thought-provoking, innovative nights. Participants get five minutes (twenty slides for fifteen seconds each) to show and explain their idea. During and after the talks there's plenty of time for a chat, a beer and a swapping of screen names and phone numbers.
