The Ignite Presentation Method and Where the Hell is Matt

I talked about Pecha Kucha a few times before. The concept is simple, 20 slides 20 seconds per slide amounting to 6m 40s to deliver your message. Other concepts like elevator speech come to mind. There is a similar movement called ignite. With a bit simpler name, what is ignite?

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers.

Ignite was started in Seattle in 2006 by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. Since then 100s of 5 minute talks have been given across the world. There are thriving Ignite communities in Seattle, Portland, Paris, and NYC.

I caught a discussion about this presentation style over at the presentationzen blog where they showed an example for ignite from Matt.



Matt is known from the 'Where the hell is Matt' website. Matt started a website showing videos of him dancing on locations all over the world. If you don't know him or his website, you should watch his latest video.
