Ignite Portland 10 proposals

We are not accepting proposals at this time.

Ignite Portland 10 will take place February 9, 2012 at the Bagdad Theater. Visit Ignite Portland for more information about the event.

Please note that Ignite is focused on sharing your burning ideas - the things that keep you up late at night. the stuff you'd do for free, even if it wasn't your job. Your obsession. It's *NOT* the place to be all self promotional or spammy. Talk ideas that seem too spammy will be rejected, in favor of those that show more passion, interestingness, and spark. So be sparky, not spammy!

If you had five minutes to talk to Portland what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? Talk about recent learnings, successes, failures? Fill out the form to submit your talk. We are looking for talks that will inspire and teach, not recruiting or product pitches.
