Welcome Phoenix Art Museum Subscribers! Below you will find all you would ever want to know about Ignite Phoenix. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or contact us.
The Elevator Pitch
Ignite Phoenix is an information exchange for fostering and inspiring Phoenix’s creative community. In one evening, you hear 18 passionate speakers from our creative, technical, and business communities talking about their current projects or favorite ideas for just five minutes. Presentations will educate and inspire you, and maybe make you laugh in the process.
The Presentations
Up to 20 slides and 5 minutes is all you get. Not a second more. The presenters need to get to the point quickly, and make it exciting and engaging. Check out videos from Ignite Phoenix 6 to get a better understanding of the presentation format. Mastering the Pomodoro Technique, Life Lessons from Cows and You’ll Never Watch Star Wars again were just a few of the excellent presentations at Ignite Phoenix 6.
We welcome topics about anything that other people will find interesting. That’s a wide criteria and that’s just fine. If the most interesting submissions end up being technical, then Ignite will have a technical feel. There is a wide mix of topics. If you’re not interested in the current topic, all you have to do is wait for 5 minutes and a new one starts.
We do have a few rules. Check out our rules and guidelines. In addition, Ignite Phoenix #7 will have a theme, The Art of PHX. We hate to point out of the obvious, but just in case there is any confusion “PHX” stands for “Phoenix”. So, what does this mean? Well, we want to encourage the community to push themselves creatively. We don’t think adding a theme to Ignite creates any restrictions on submissions. We are simply asking our community to push themselves to submit something as creative as the space where Ignite Phoenix #7 will take place.
The Presentation Process
- After we open submissions for an event, you submit your talk idea online.� All you need is an abstract of who you are and what your talk is about. You do not need to start working on your slides yet.
- About two weeks prior to the event, we close submissions and select the presentations for the event night. Our team of judges select 18 presentations from the submissions. We work hard to create a well-rounded event night.
- We notify the presenters. If you are selected, you must develop your presentation and submit your slides to the Ignite Phoenix presentation team by the deadline they assign.
