Looks like I’ll be doing my first Ignite talk this February in London. Ignite talks are five minute powerpoint presentations where the slides auto-advance every 15 seconds. It’s a terrifying speech format and I’m really looking forward to it.
Additionally, one of my all time favorite Ignite presenters, Tom Scott, is going to be there doing his own presentation. He has one of the most watched Ignite presentation of all time on YouTube in which he tells the compelling story of a flash mob that could be. The way the video is cut, it’s not totally clear that this is fiction.. it is. But it could be reality. That makes the presentation that much more powerful.
Anyway, I’ll be talking about expertise and how sometimes you have to admit to knowing nothing before people recognize you as an expert. I hope people like it!!
