Ignite Talks

Attention!

In order to save time and make the session more dynamic, we propose to consider an alternative to the standard presentation format and join the Ignite Talks format!

This format is gaining popularity in events such as conferences and forums.

Ignite Talks has a fixed format where the speaker prepares 20 slides that automatically jump to 15 seconds. Examples of these impression-based presentations can be found at the back link:
