Tue, 01/11/2011 - 1:07pm by eli

Ignite Ann Arbor is an evening of quick, fun talks about just about anything. People who are passionate about whatever it is that they're passionate about get 5 minutes and 20 automatically advancing slides in front of a crowd to enlighten, entertain, inform, and illuminate. Past talks have covered Roller Derby, Folding Things, Barefoot Running, and Having a Great Time in Bed. Submissions are now open for Ignite Ann Arbor 5, coming up February 9th at Blau Auditorium. Past Ignite presenters have also been invited to AADL to expand on their talks, including Suzanne Fischer's talk about Early Mechanical Television, and Jack Zaientz's talk about The Silver Age of Jewish Music.

In addition, Brian Wecht and his collaborators from The Story Collider will be coming to AADL on March 11th to present entertaining and personal stories about science, so stay tuned for that!

So, got a great idea for Ignite Ann Arbor 5? Propose it now and see what happens! 5 minutes, 20 slides... what would you say?
