The Background
Ignite Phoenix is an information exchange aimed at fostering and inspiring Phoenix’s creative community. Presenters get 5 minutes and 20 slides to talk about anything they are passionate about. Presenters will need to get to the point quickly, and make it exciting and engaging.
Topics are welcome on anything that other people will find interesting. That’s a wide criteria and that’s just fine. If the most interesting submissions end up being technical, then Ignite will have a technical feel. Ideally there will be a wide mix of topics, so if you’re not interested in one thing all you have to do is wait for 5 minutes and a new one will start. If you’re curious, you can read more information about Ignite Phoenix.

That OBGITR submission sounds hilarious - I’m a woman, so I’d love to get insight on a black man’s experience in the workplace. Is it really that different for him?

@Michelle - It’s a series of 5 minute long, “lightning talks” designed to get people sharing ideas, meeting new people, and having fun. More information is on our About page: http://www.ignite-phoenix.org/about/
