SUMMARY:Ignite Chicago at Catalyst Ranch in January
DESCRIPTION:Ignite Chicago has something to say! Come to Catalyst Ranch January 28 for a night of great ideas.\n \n\n  \nIgnite Chicago is a high-energy evening of 5-minute talks by people who have a burning idea—and the guts to get onstage and share it with their hometown crowd.\n  \n  \n \nAttending this evening’s Ignite Chicago does good for the city and for your neighbors. All proceeds from Ignite Chicago at Catalyst Ranch go toward funding the volunteer-run\, nonprofit organization We All Code (formerly CoderDojoChi)\, which teaches web\, game and app development to youth ages 7 to 17. So when you buy your ticket to expand your mind at Ignite Chicago\, you effectively contribute to expanding the minds of young people in our beloved city! \n \nSpeaking at Ignite is an unforgettable experience. You step up to the mic. Your palms sweat. You can hear the thump of your blood rushing. Your voice cracks for an instant and then you launch into a rant for 300 straight seconds\, wearing your passion on your sleeve\, barely pausing to breathe. The crowd goes wild. \nIgnite Chicago at Catalyst Ranch is open to everyone. All talks are 5 minutes (20 slides x 15 seconds/slide). \n \nThere is no theme for Ignite. You can talk about virtually anything as long as you can show us your passion for it. What’s the thing you most geek out about? What’s the topic of conversation that quickens your pulse and sets your toe a-tappin’? That is what we want to hear you speak about. \nAll speakers get equal time and equal billing. All talks are 5 minutes. You create 20 slides\, and we set them up to auto-advance every 15 seconds. \nComplimentary craft beer and satisfying pizza are generously provided by sponsors Lagunitas Brewing Company and Jet’s Pizza!\n  \nWant to speak?\nThe audience at Ignite is generous and patient. They know the Ignite format is difficult\, and they realize you might be an absolute beginner at public speaking. Don’t worry – they’ve got your back. You’re giving them your passion and your vulnerability\, and they love you for that. You won’t find a more appreciative audience at any other event. \nSome people think Ignite is about self-help talks. It isn’t. Nobody wants to hear a preachy pep talk. We’re already “good enough and smart enough\,” so let’s keep this about you and your passionate ideas. \nFinally\, we’re serious about the no pitching thing. We know that sometimes a speaker must mention their profession in order to give their talk context\, which is totally fine. But Ignite is not the place to tout your organization or to troll for clients. \nClick the logo for tickets.\n \n\n \nFind out more about the maestro behind both Ignite Chicago and CoderDojoChi\, Ali Karbassi\, by clicking here! \n\n\nLearn more about Chicago’s Most Creative Meeting and Event Space Catalyst Ranch!
