If you had five minutes to talk to Orlando on stage, what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their answers. Combine this with an onsite contest where contestants are grouped together to make things and you have Ignite Orlando.

Ignite was started in Seattle in 2006 by Brady Forrest and Bre Pettis. Since then 100s of 5 minute talks have been given across the world. There are thriving Ignite communities in Orlando, Seattle, Portland, Paris, and NYC.

Please join our Google Group Ignite Orlando, or follow us on twitter for more information.

We just wrapped up our first event which happened on March 4, 2009. We plan to have these events frequently, at least twice a year. So please check back often or follow us through twitter; @igniteorlando or the Ignite Orlando Google Group.
