Ignite Portland is a geeky social event where people get up on stage and give a presentation about something. Anything. The catch? You have literally five minutes to give it and you only have 20 slides at your disposal that will be rotating automatically every 15 seconds. You can watch videos of presentations from previous Ignite Portland events to get an idea of what fun this can be.
The title for my proposal is “How to start a Ponzi Scheme.” If I could do it again, I might have changed it to something like “Start a Ponzi Scheme this summer!” or “How to start a Ponzi Scheme with your friends.” Maybe “Start a Ponzi Scheme profit, fun and potential federal offense?”
The idea came to me about 30 minutes before they were shutting down the form that accepted submissions. It looks like I might have been the last person to get one in!
