Ignite Liverpool

O’Reilly, the tech book publisher, organises a series of events under the banner of Ignite and a group of us are bringing the format to Liverpool as part of O’Reilly’s Global Ignite Week.

It’ll be a series of talks on a variety of topics, loosely based round the themes of technology, social or politics. Each talk consists of exactly 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds, so even if one of the talks isn’t up your street, it’ll be over in five minutes and there’ll be something different to look forward to.

We’re holding it at the new Art and Design Academy, next to the Metropolitan Cathedral, from 6pm-8pm on Thursday 4th March.

It’s a free event, but we’d like you to book so we get an idea of numbers - confirm via Facebook or our our Ning site (you’ll have to register with Ning, but it’s pretty painless).

Would you like to present?

We’ve still got a couple of slots available for presenters. If you fancy giving it a crack (and you don’t have to be a seasoned presenter, we’re more than happy for presenting newbies to give a talk too) then just email a brief (50-100 words) outline to ignite.liverpool@gmail.com by 24th February and we will inform you if you have been chosen by Friday 26th February.

And feel free to share details of the event with anyone you think might be interested. See http://ignite.oreilly.com/2010/02/global-ignite-week-liverpool-uk.html for the full links and info.
