The second installment of Ignite Liverpool took place on 16th April 2010 at the Contemporary Urban Centre (Novas).

Ignite speakers have five minutes and 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds to talk about a topic close to their hearts.

Talks this time around ranged from brass band culture, mapping visualisations, inclusion in all its forms and  ‘Wimpycrawling’ (a new extreme sport – watch the video after the break for an explanation).

Once again we received a great writeup in the Daily Post thanks to Alistair Houghton.

Open Labs is proud to support Ignite Liverpool and together with fellow organisers Neil Morrin (@defnetmedia) and Adrian McEwen (@amcewen) we aim to make Ignite Liverpool  a regular event.   If you would like your 5 minutes of fame please get in touch.

Open Labs was proud to support the first ever Ignite Liverpool which took place on the 4th March 2010.

Started by O’Reilly Media in 2006 the motto of an Ignite  evening is ‘enlighten us – but make it quick’.   Ignite speakers are invited to share their personal and professional passions.  The catch?  They get precisely 5 minutes and 20 slides which auto-advance every 15 seconds to do it.

The first Ignite Liverpool, part of Global Ignite Week, saw talks on subjects as diverse as music royalties and art criticism, event organisation and online democracy.

Alistair Houghton (@wimpyking) gave us a very nice write up in the Liverpool Daily Post.

The rest of the talks are after the break.
