Ignite Talks is a global public speaking community. Ignite enables people everywhere to share ideas and learn to communicate with confidence. This is built into the format. The auto-advancing equalizes the playing field for the speakers while making the talks exciting for the audience. The audience gets to hear lots of ideas in a short time, plus the talks are only 5 minutes so if you’re bored you can go grab a drink. Every Ignite talk lasts 5 minutes. No more, no less. Talk about anything you are passionate about, but get to the point, and get there quick. The majority of audiences are visual learners, so slides with interesting imagery are a key element of why Ignite talks are so engaging. Slides auto-advance every 15 seconds, so you must be clear and concise with your words. Focus on making every word count.
