I have just arrived at Ignite Sydney. It us the first one that I have attended so I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing how the format works out.
The idea is to deliver a presentation with 20 slides, 15 secs per slide for a total of 5 minutes. Kinda like PowerPoint on speed.
I am also here to network so I will update the notes as I meet some folks.
Started in Seattle in 2006.
Rule of ignite, no bullet points.

Fredric koshpff – the internet of things.
The Internet is like the phones in your hands. more devices than people talking to each other, not to people.
