Ignite ETech

If you had 5 minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Launch a web site? Teach a hack?

We’re going to find out when we Ignite ETech. Happening Monday evening, this will be a high-energy event. If you can’t picture what it would be like check out other Ignite events that have happened around the world.
