You don’t need to have a fully-developed talk. All you need is a great title and a short description. Ignite Seattle is the largest and oldest open submission public speaking event in the Pacific Northwest. We believe in the power of bringing people together through stories that inspire, enlighten, challenge, and entertain. Since 2006, we have been gathering the greatest audiences in Seattle to hear interesting people tell fascinating stories in just 5 minutes. Each speaker gets 20 slides, which auto-advance every 15 seconds, to share their experiences and passions. It’s an evening of curated discovery, and our format helps speakers to be concise, focused, and engaged.
