Ignite Portland
is a fun, fast-paced, evening of presentations where speakers gather to share their knowledge and passion. Each speaker gets exactly five minutes to teach, enlighten, or inspire the crowd, all backed up by 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds. Talks cover a wide range of (often geeky) topics, from nuclear reactors to roller skating.
Ignite Portland
’s unique rapid-fire format starts at 7pm and draws a loyal audience that reflects our vibrant community, often filling our venues to capacity. Each event is different, but you’re sure to experience talks that will educate, inspire, motivate, and entertain.
The
Ignite
concept first appeared in Seattle in 2006 and has since spread to many cities across the globe. We brought
Ignite
to Portland in 2007, and have been running events ever since.
