Aren’t you tired of 9 hour long ‘conferences’ with talks that never seem to end?  Yeah, us too. That’s why we’ve brought Ignite to Mumbai – again!

Yes, it took a long time coming since our innocent little tweet way back in May but all that should matter is that you don’t have to wait much longer. Saturday, December 18 is the second edition of Ignite Mumbai!

For those new to the concept, Ignite is a fun evening of presentations on a variety of topics, with a twist. Each presentation has 20 slides, that automatically advance after 15 seconds. Ignite is meant to bring out your inner geek and share it with your community to add social value. It is a night of fun, knowledge-sharing and connections. Famously, Ignite’s motto is “Enlighten Us, But Make It Quick“.

When we launched Ignite Mumbai in April, we were genuinely overwhelmed with the response. Not only did we sell out in a matter of a few hours, we got a tremendous response from our speakers, all of whom gave Ignite Mumbai a touch of their personality.We might have started small but Ignite was a success even before the first of our charismatic speakers took to the stage.

And now, a good 8 months since that epic night, Ignite Mumbai is coming back. We have a bigger venue, a wider range of speakers and a promise of an even better night than last time. With some inside info on the speakers and their topics, we can assure you that we’re bloody excited to see this edition.

Here’s what you need to know-

Date:  Saturday, 18 December, 2010
Time: 5:30pm (gates open) 6pm-8pm talks
Venue: WTF, Versova, Andheri West (We <3 the ‘burbs )
Cost: Zero (a.k.a FREE!)

We have a larger venue this time around, but it’s still limited capacity. Entry will be on pre-registration only. Speakers will be announced and (free) tickets will be available starting Wednesday afternoon 3pm – DON’T MISS THIS!! And if the first time around was any indication, these tickets will fly off in a few hours! Ignite Mumbai is a community event put up by a bunch of like-minded volunteers. We are able to keep this event free due to the support of some great venues who open up their spaces for us. Our awesome venue partner for this edition is WTF, the shiny new bar in Versova.

Do follow us on Twitter or Like us on Facebook since those are the surefire channels to get the quickest updates on tickets, speakers and everything else.

And as the winter chills spread early in our city we see no better time to Ignite Mumbai! See you there.
