Ignite San Diego provides an interesting opportunity for students and adults to use their public speaking and presentation skills to share on topics about which they are extremely passionate.
Ignite speakers have 5 minutes to share their speeches, which are accompanied by 20 slides that auto advance every 15 seconds. Timing is everything! Well, not everything, but it is a very important component.
Ignite began in Seattle in 2006. Now Ignite events occur in 100 cities. Speakers who are interested in presenting during Ignite San Diego #6 have until Friday, April 8, 2016 to submit their applications.
Ignite San Diego #6 will be held on Thursday, May 19, 2016 from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at 9 a.m.
