Once again, the innovative team behind Ignite Phoenix threw up a fine event Tuesday night at the Tempe Center of the Arts. Ignite Phoenix is an evening of short presentations scheduled several times a year. At an event, you hear 18 passionate speakers talking about their favorite topics or projects for just 5 minutes each. Judges rank the submissions and they put in a lot of time to make sure the event gets a nice variety of creativity and fun.
I attended the first and third Ignites and really liked the format - if one presenter's topic isn't up your alley, you know another will be up shortly.
Using a ploy from Up on the Sun, I've culled some tweets around last night's presentations:
"iamchanelle: #ignitePHX rocked the casbah tonite. thanks to everyone who put in long hours to make it awesome."
"krysvs: thanks for all the kind words everybody. we had a great time at #ignitephx, and all the other presenters rocked it!"
nickhammond: Sites discovered at #ignitephx tonight: http://phxnom.com, http://scratch.mit.edu, http://pictureisunrelated.com, http://misusedthings.com
"KammieK: Much love for #ignitephx tonight. Kudos to all presenters & many thx to all the crew & volunteers. Super fun event & after party!"
But a seasoned miscreant also noted...
"tdhurst: Something was different about #ignitephx tonight. Could feel it."
(Ed. is that a good different? or a different different?)
In any case, a great event pulling together Phoenix creative web community artisans. Check out Tyson Crosbie's great photos here. Sad that my sniffles, chills and cold kept me away last night, but the presentations looked fine on their live UStream.
