Ignite is run by locals, for locals.
Founded in Seattle in the cold winter of 2006 by two hundred geeks settled into a small bar for a night of networking, cool ideas and, of course, a few beers. since then the events have been heldal over the world. Ignite is fast-paced and merciless, but most of all they're fun, thought-provoking nights, full of fresh ideas and clever insights. Speakers get five minutes to present their idea. They make use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. Ignite helps build and develop local networks, and serves as a platform for locals to connect offline and have a drink together.

Ignite Amsterdam 4 is part of the Arcade exhibition.
