Announcing Ignite RailsConf
Baltimore's Rails community is welcoming this year's RailsConf with an un-official pre-party the evening before RailsConf begins: Ignite RailsConf.
Ignite events are lightning talks, where 16 speakers each get 5 minutes to talk about a subject they are passionate about, but with a twist: the speaker's slides are automatically advanced every 15 seconds. Ignite's motto is "enlighten us, but be quick about it!"
Ignite RailsConf kicks off on 6/6/10 at 6 pm at the Sheraton Inner Harbor (300 South Charles Street, Baltimore, MD), which is connected to the convention center where RailsConf is taking place.
Click here to purchase tickets for $5. All proceeds after expenses will benefit some Ruby-related charity (if you would like to suggest a charity please email mike@ignitebaltimore.com).
We're looking for a wide range of talks, which you can propose here. Not all of the talks will be Rails-specific but all will be of interest to Rails developers.) You do not have to be a RailsConf attendee to attend or speak at the event.
So far we have received generous sponsor commitments from:
We are looking for a few more sponsors to help defray the cost of renting the space and providing food and videography. If you are interested, please email mike@ignitebaltimore.com.
