Wednesday night is the eighth iteration of Ignite Portland. If you’ve never been to an Ignite event, I definitely recommend finding one in your area and attending. The presenters have five minutes to give their talk, accompanied by a slide deck of 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. It’s a challenging format for the speakers (I’ve given two Ignite talks… one on social network terms of service and one on railroad photography) and the presentations are nearly always top-notch.
I’m excited to be the in-kind photography sponsor for Ignite Portland 8. This will be the fifth time I’ve been the official photographer, and it’s always an interesting event from a photo standpoint since the theater is very dark with a variety of lighting in play. If you’re at the event (and especially if we’ve never met in person), be sure to say hello! I’ll be the guy wandering around with the cameras…
