Got an idea burning a hole in your brain? This is your stage.
The Format
Enlighten us — but make it quick
Ignite is a talk format built for momentum. Your slides advance automatically, whether you're ready or not. It's exhilarating, a little terrifying, and the most fun you'll ever have presenting.
Minutes total
Every talk is exactly five minutes. No overtime, no mercy, no rambling Q&A.
Slides
Exactly twenty slides. Big visuals beat bullet points — keep them punchy.
Seconds per slide
Slides auto-advance every 15 seconds. The clock is your co-presenter.
Big idea
One story, one lesson, one obsession. Depth over breadth — light the spark.
Topics
What should you talk about?
Anything that would make a room full of Orlando developers lean in. Technical deep-dives, career stories, spectacular failures, weird side projects — if it lit you up, it'll light us up.
✨ First-time speakers are extremely welcome. Five minutes is the perfect first talk, and we'll help you rehearse before the big night.
