The Ignite Format

Wikipedia:
Ignite is a global event, organized by volunteers, where parIcipants are
given ve minutes to speak about their ideas and personal or professional
passions, accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for 15
seconds, and slides are automaIcally advanced. The Ignite format is
similar to Pecha Kucha, which features 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds
each. The presentaIons are meant to "ignite" the audience on a subject,
i.e. to generate awareness and to sImulate thought and acIon on the
subjects presented.
