What Should I Talk About?

If you had five minutes to talk to Des Moines what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Inspire them to create a website that could solve world hunger? Teach them how to avoid business pitfalls in the current economy? Inform them through stories about your life’s highs and lows?

2008 Schedule

  • The initial list of speakers and topics will be announced October 20.
  • Proposals for Talks will still be accepted until noon on October 27.
  • Additional accepted talks will be announced October 27.
  • Slides will be due on Nov. 3rd as to give time to nag in case they aren’t in yet.
  • Submit 20 slides in PPT format. You can use your company themed slides.
  • If you don’t have a slide theme we will put them in our Ignite theme.
  • Don’t worry about timing the slides to 15 second intervals. We will do that for you!

Agreement
  1. I understand and agree to allow my talk to be recorded and posted online for the entire world to see. The audience of Ignite Des Moines will not tolerate commercial "spam" during presentations so I therefore agree to refrain from overtly promoting any of my commercial interests while presenting.
