Ignite Chicago
Thursday December 6, 2007 from 6:00pm - 11:00pm
Debonair Social Club
1575 N. Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, Illinois Get Directions
What is an Ignite? It is a small conference built around 5 minute presentations that include 20 slides each (allowing for 15 seconds / slide).

The presentations must be about *how* to do something cool. For example, they cannot be about how great your startup is, but rather about something novel that you learned while creating your startup.

Note - the location has changed - Goose Island decided it would be a good idea to double-book the venue stating at 9pm. We didn't want to cut the event short so we scrambled for a new location. The new location is significantly better for the following reasons:

1. closer to the city
2. won't double-book us
3. significantly better A/V capabilities

Too late for me to drive to down town. By the way you need better publicity. I just learned about it now.

It was a lot of fun. Shame about those folks who took the time to attend and then yakked through the entire thing ignoring everything else around them.
