Ignite NTC in 3498

Ignite is back for the third year running. We've scheduled Ignite talks for the first night of the 2011 NTC, so everyone who sees your talk will have a chance to catch you in the halls and ask you more about your presentation.

Ignite is the purest dose you can get of the passions of NTC attendees. Ignite is a fast-paced, fun, thought-provoking social event that educates and entertains. The evening will be split into two sets, each under an hour. Refreshments will be served before, during, and after.
