Ignite Sheffield #5 Applications

Applications are now open for Ignite Sheffield #5 -> http://tinyurl.com/clm7ctx

Ignite is a speaking event with a difference.  Each speaker has 5 minutes to talk about something they care about.  During the talk the speaker must use 20 slides which auto-advance every 15 seconds.  It's not as easy as it sounds!

The next Ignite Sheffield event is on the topic of Cultures and Communities.  If you would like to give it a go, fill out the web form (http://tinyurl.com/clm7ctx).

We hope to see you either as a speaker or as part of the audience on the 14th May 2014, at Coffee Revolution in the Sheffield University Student's Union.
