Ignite Baltimore #1

Ignite Baltimore #1

If you had five minutes on stage, what would you say to Baltimore? What if you only had 20 slides and they rotated automatically every 15 seconds?

On October 16th at 6 pm, 16 artists, technologists, entrepreneurs, writers, bloggers, and philosophers will answer this challenge at Ignite Baltimore #1. The event will take place at The Windup Space, 12 W. North Ave in Baltimore's Station North Arts District.

What is Ignite?

Cities all over the world are organizing Ignite events, where thought leaders come together to share what they know and make new connections. Full details can be found at ignitebaltimore.com. The official Ignite website is ignite.oreilly.com.

Ignite will be webcast live the night of the event on http://www.RADARREDUX.net.
