The mantra of Ignite talks is “Enlighten us, but make it quick”. Ignite is the name for a particular type of event that is held throughout the world (organized by volunteers) at which participants speak about their ideas and personal or professional passions according to a specific format. The presentations are meant to “ignite” the audience on a subject, whereby awareness, thought, and action are generated on the subjects presented. The Ignite sessions will be hosted by Roy van Rijn (JPoint). Below you can find the speakers and titles of the Ignite sessions available.
