We’re looking for speakers who would like to give a presentation at Ignite Sydney 5, on Thursday 15th July. Tell us your burning issues on the Speakers tab.
You can talk about anything you like – the best Ignite presentations come from people who are passionate about their subject, and eager to share it with the rest of us.
Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before, as we’ll work with you to help put your presentation together. If you need convincing, see the Ignite survey, where 98% of presenters were glad they gave it a go!
We’re ramping up for Ignite Sydney 5, which will take place sometime in early July.
We need your help to put on this event, and in return we can help to spread the word about your business or venture. Please see the Sponsorship tab for details.
Thanks!
At Ignite Sydney 4 we raised nearly $1300 for Oz Harvest, which showed that our audience is definitely willing to give back to the community.
We had a voluntary $5 donation at the door, which had drawbacks – namely that Oz Harvest had to walk down Oxford Street late at night with a grand in a bucket….
How would you feel if we sold $5 tickets to the next Ignite Sydney, with the money payable online when the tickets were ordered? As before we would give 100% of the money to a local charity.
With a small charge we could reduce the no-shows which are inevitable for a free event, and raise even more funds for a worthwhile cause. Everyone who works behind the scenes is a volunteer, and we have fantastic sponsors who cover our costs, so we can afford to pass all of the money on to charity.
Please let us know your comments below – do you love the idea, or hate it? Can you recommend ways we could collect the donations without losing money to credit card fees?
See the Ignite Show portal at IgniteShow.com/sydney for videos from Ignite Sydney 4.
Thanks very much to CBS Interactive for the filming and editing.
Presentation Studio very kindly offered to advise the presenters as they prepared for Ignite Sydney. The results speak for themselves, as the quality of the presentations at Ignite Sydney 4 was unparalleled.
They have a special offer for the Ignite Sydney audience – 10% off their presentation services. See their blog for details.
Definitely consider them if you have an important presentation coming up, and you’d like some advice on creating a knock-out PowerPoint or Keynote.
These poems were written by the crowd, a line at a time, on paper planes thrown across the room during Ralph Kerle’s awesome presentation.
Friggin’ great evening
Loads of people having fun.
It’s thought-provoking
My throat is dry
But not as dry as a nun.
Wow, best speeches yet.
Words are fun people
Thoughtful talks are plentiful
The first line is shite.
Inspiring chatter
Ow, that plane hit my head.
The cusp of ideas.
The excitement builds.
Nuns are optimists, live long.
Excited future.
Inspiring speakers
I can’t believe he showed boobs!
Believe, he showed boobs.
Throwing paper planes

Let’s get drunk now please!
Amazing ideas to generate thought.
Try to think outside the box
I can’t drink and write.
Crowded room where thoughts collide
You freakin’ hipsters.
Ignite rocks Sydney
