Ignite Helsinki
The first ever Ignite Helsinki -event is being organised this Friday in Dubrovnik Lounge and Lobby.
Those who are unaware of the ignite format - it is a set of short 5 minute presentations given by speakers on various topics where the presentation slides change automatically every 15 seconds. Therefore you have 5 minutes and 20 slides to get your point and issue to the crowd. Ignite events have been held in many of the large tech cities of the world and now for the first time it will be organised in Helsinki.
I was asked to speak there about Finnish Startups and would have done so if I'd be in Finland. If you're interested in giving a speech - send an e-mail to the organisers. I'm sure they're interested in getting more submissions.
The doors will open 5.30pm and the event will start at 6pm, free entry. Update: A slight shift in schedules as Antti told us in the comments - the doors will open at 6pm and the event will start at 7pm. And it's still free entry :)
Ouch! We had mistakenly left the example program available - your times are from there. Doors will open at 6PM and event will start 7PM. Shame that you are travelling, it would have been great to see on stage!
And as sais, we are still interested in getting more submissions!
Hope that this event is in English.
