Ignite!

RantWoman is still floating after two days of the Super Duper Powerpoint festival including her own panel's brilliant, wildly well-received session. All of this is grist for another post. The whim of the moment is a new, recurring event called IGNITE .

20 slides, each visible for 15 seconds seems like a new and extreme way to do Powerpoint, an intellectual or public presentation version of speed dating. The article does not mention, but after two days of the Super Duper Powerpoint festival, RantWoman wonders whether there is any kind of requirement that the slides be decently legible or whether there is some kind of bonus prize for the volume of GIS data or the quantity of text going whizzing by every 15 seconds. RantWoman woners this, but RantWoman is going to defer a decision about whether to put this event on her calendar and go check it out herself.
