StickerGiant is proud to sponsor a day-long series of Ignite Talks at South By Southwest (SXSW), which will serve as an oasis of inspiration in the midst of the SXSW maelstrom. Big props to all of the organizers and speakers at each set of sparks. It takes guts to get up in front of people to talk, and it takes dedication to pull off an Ignite event.
There are four topics for this SXSW-flavored event, and each session is themed around different sparks. Following the traditional Ignite format, each speaker gets twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds for five minutes on stage.
Here's the schedule for the sessions:
- Ignite SXSW: Lie/Cheat/Steal from 11:00AM to 12:00PM. Ten speakers will share their stories & tips about how to get ahead in the world.
- Ignite SXSW: Vice-Versa from 12:30PM to 1:30PM. Each talk will be a about different vantage point of the world.
- Ignite SXSW: Behind the Curtain from 3:30PM to 4:30PM. Ten speakers will give a peak behind the curtain of their world.
- Ignite SXSW: Futurama from 5:00PM to 6:00PM. Ten speakers will share their thoughts & stories about being from the future.
We love Ignite Talks and this one is always fun to see in downtown Austin. This time around there's a fun tear-off event sticker (see the top image) and then this set of three fun Ignite quote stickers (image above) for attendees to slap on their surface of choice.
