What *is* Ignite? It’s a fun, high-energy evening of a dozen or so “speed presentations.” Ignite presenters get 5 minutes to talk about a topic, using a slide deck that auto-advances every 15 seconds–whether they’re ready or not! Want to see what you’re signing up for? Check out an Ignite presentation here.
Most Ignite events involve hometown speakers covering any type of topic. But at SMX, we’re having a special edition that focuses solely on search topics.
Ignite is free for anyone with any type of SMX conference pass to attend, including Expo passes which are also free with pre-registration. See the range of SMX conference registration options here.
You can also attend even without an SMX conference pass, but if so, you’ll need sign-up in advance here.
