Ignite happens Tuesday, 2 October, at the Hilton Metropole, following the day’s sessions for both Strata Conference in London and Velocity Europe. It’s a joint Ignite for both Strata and Velocity which are co-located at the Hilton, and attendees of both events are invited for a fun evening of high-energy speed presentations.
Ignite will be hosted by Simon St. Laurent and Stewart Townsend.

We’re interested in any topic as long as it’s interesting, from technology to culture to business to science. We’re always looking for new speakers, but please no product demos. Instead, present a how-to, a travelogue, something inspirational, lessons learned, or an interesting story. Speakers are limited to 20 slides, which automatically advance after 15 seconds—that’s the fun of Ignite!
If you’re interested in speaking at Ignite, submit your proposal for a chance to present. All submissions are due by midnight BST, 17 September, 2012. Presenters will receive a Tuesday day pass for Strata and Velocity, with access to both conferences.
