Ignite

Ignite
community
speaking
events
that
take
place
around
the
world,
from
Toronto
to
Tokyo.
Ignite
Waterloo’s
website
invitation
captures
the
spirit
and
the
speed
of
the
evening:
“Imagine
that
you’re
on
stage
in
front
of
an
audience
of
hundreds
of
people,
accompanied
by
a
slide
deck
that
auto-forwards
every
15
seconds,
whether
you’re
ready
or
not.
What
would
you
do?
What
would
you
say?
Could
you
stand
the
pressure?”
Volunteer
organizer,
Tiffany
Kohl,
says
Ignite
Waterloo
is
all
about
getting
the
local
community
to
come
together
to
put
on
an
event
of
local
interest.
From
the
Ignite
organizers,
volunteer
speakers
and
sponsors,
everyone
agrees
that
conversation
around
what
matters
to
individuals
leads
to
a
vibrant
community.
“Ideas
and
passion
unite
us,”
Tiffany
says.
She
is
especially
pleased
to
have
Ignite
Waterloo
15
on
campus
to
foster
an
evening
of
conversation:
“Fueled
by
great
education,
students
are
inspired
to
think
and
to
share
ideas,
and
ultimately
become
great
leaders
in
their
communities.”
Ignite
Waterloo
members
will
mentor
and
support
the
Ignite-style
presentations
in
the
DAC
329/SPCOM
329
course
in
Winter
