Ignite

Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Founded in Seattle, the events are held around the world. Ignite is fast-paced and merciless, but most of all they're fun, thought-provoking nights, full of fresh ideas and clever insights. Speakers get five minutes to present their idea. They make use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. A ruthless moderator will guarantee those five minutes aren't exceeded. Ignite serves as a platform for locals to connect offline and have a drink together.

Speakers

Karsten Gerloff

Karsten is the president of the Free Software Foundation Europe.

Jasper van den Brink

Jasper is a video artist based in Amsterdam, and presented some stills and fragments of a project he's working on at the moment.

Niels van Koevorden & Sabine Lubbe Bakker

It has been almost a year since the elections in Belgium and the country has yet been unable to form a government. Niels and Sabine are making a film about the end of the country.

Dutch Flag Adapted

Mariette Hummel

Intrigued by the digital world and the elusiveness of privacy, Mariette started a research into her own digital identity. What traces does she knowingly and unknowingly leave on the internet?

Miktor & Molf

Miktor & Molf, the son of a reverend and the son of a soldier, are part of the multitasking-short-concentration-span-generation Einstein. They dabble in design, illustrations and net art with an equal amount of quirkiness.
