flwydIgnite Boulder is coming on Wednesday, December 8th. I proposed a talk, "Sorrow, Joy and Release: The Temple at Burning Man," and you can vote for it and other sparks that sound interesting. My description:
Ignite is the public speaking cure to the PowerPoint curse. Each presenter has 20 slides that advance every 15 seconds, whether they're ready or not. The best presenters can pack a lot of humor, insight, education, and inspiration in five minutes. Boulder is the largest Ignite in the world, and has sold out the Boulder Theater and Chautauqua Auditorium for the last year. If you haven't been to an Ignite, join the fun in Boulder or at an event near you!
Every year, a group of artists build a beautiful monument; tens of thousands of people contribute memories and wishes; then the whole thing is set aflame. What's the point, and what can we learn from it?
