Ignite Boulder is one of those events that seems to fit right into the unique culture of this town. What is Ignite Boulder, you might ask? Well, let me sum it up in one word: entertaining. Ignite events are held all over the country, and the format is pretty simple. Presenters are chosen by the organizers and the attendees weeks before the event via online voting, and anyone can sign up to present. Each Ignite has a theme, such as Heart and Soul, and the presentations are supposed to have some connection to that theme. This is where it gets interesting. Each presentation is only allowed to be 5 minutes and 20 slides long, and slides auto-advance every 15 seconds. This leads so some very quick, but generally enlightening, and almost always funny presentations.
