Ignite/LA
Monday, March 1, 2010
7pm; talks start at 7:30pm
5 Minutes. 20 Slides. 15 Seconds per Slide.
Speakers get only 5 minutes to give an amazing, inspiring talk. In LA, there are tons of different communities at the intersection of tech, art, green/sustainability, unique lifestyle design, digital/collaborative media, and social action that don't know each other but should. Think of Ignite as a set of trailers for exciting projects people are doing that you should know about.
At other Ignites, talks have included:
- Cyborg Anthropology
- The Secret Underground World of Lego
- How to Buy a Car
- Hacking Chocolate
At the last Ignite/LA, we had talking including:
- The Future of Money
- Turning AI gurus into Comets and Star Field Explosions
- Bubble Nets among Humpback Whales
you can check out the recordings on http://ignite.oreilly.com/show/

Does it make any sense at all to bring a 7 year old child? That might be the only way I can attend.

Unfortunately, I feel Im not qualified to answer that question..

Although unless the child likes real geeky subjects, you might have to pass. It will be happening again in the summer, and you may also wish to contact the organizers, but as for me, I don't even know what a 7 year old would dig these days.
Hope this was helpful, most likely it was not.
:)
Sounds Great!
