We’re kicking it up a notch for the next Ignite and we’ve got a speaker sneak peek for you.
Before we reveal some of the awesome that is coming your way we need to ask a favour. We need volunteers. As you can imagine, a night like this doesn’t just run itself. Ignite Melbourne is entirely run by volunteers. Give a little and get a lot 
Think of the fame! The fortune! The endless stream of thanks!
We need volunteers to:
- video the presentations and turn them into a digital format suitable for uploading to youtube or vimeo.
- run the audio/video equipment for the night – it’s not very taxing but someone has to stop and start the vids.
- general gopher. Sometimes the speakers need a glass of water, a monitor needs adjusting, necks need massaging (only joking – but if you’re good at it no-one would say no).
- help prep the slides. We turn all the slides (in their various formats) into video prior to the event so the night runs more smoothly.
That’s enough soliciting. Now for a sneak peak…
- Sean Callanan ”From Geek to Sports Geek - From developer to connecting with 1M sports fans on Facebook” of Sports Geek
- Steve Sammartino ”Amazing Aviation”
- Matt Magain ”Give your users a Hollywood experience” of Useractive
- Erik Van Eekelen “2011 Space Odyssee. Why we don’t’ fly cars yet”
- Michael De Wildt “Going Fast”
- Lou Pardi, Sean Woodhouse and a perhaps a mystery international speaker.
We’re also looking for a fun topic to close of the evening. We’ve had the spectacular Kealey Nutt on the History of Lols, and the standout Pamela Fox on The Wonder of the Onesie. Do you have a topic that will entral the audience too?
Finally, thanks to our sponsors:
- YOW! 2011 Developers Conference – For developers by developers; and
- Agile Bench – when you need more than an issue tracker.
