Second Ignite Boston
Wednesday, August 29, 2007 0 Comments
Join us for the second Ignite Boston on Thursday, September 6, at Hurricane O'Reilly's (it's a bar, not Tim's office after Foo Camp). The fun lasts from 6 to 10pm, and there's no cover charge.
Ignite Boston is a night of geekery and networking. We'll have short talks
(5 minutes, 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide), launches of interesting
projects and products, and a few surprises, plus plenty of time to hoist a
beer with your fellow Igniters. (For those of you who attended the
fun-but-noisy first Ignite Boston--we've picked a venue that will allow
everyone to hear what's being presented.)
If you plan to attend, register at igniteboston@oreilly.com. When you
register, you'll also be entered in our drawing for a chance to win $300
worth of O'Reilly books of your choosing. The drawing will be at the
event, and you must be present to win.
To connect with some of the folks who attended the first Ignite Boston, go
to the Ignite Boston social network: http://igniteboston.crowdvine.com.
If you would like do a 5-minute Ignite talk on something cool, new, and/or
exciting, submit your idea(s) here:
http://ignitenight.thirdeye.railsplayground.net/events/form/ignite_boston%2C_2
We hope you can join us and contribute to the energy and excitement of
this unique event. And remember, no cover charge!
