We’ll hosting the third annual Ignite @ Netroots Nation to close the weekend with an engaging, fast-paced keynote that will inspire and entertain.
Using the Ignite format, each speaker will be given 5 minutes to talk, while 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds are shown on the screen.
One of the best parts about Netroots Nation is hearing the unique experiences and personal stories of fellow organizers, activists and thought leaders in the movement. That’s why we’re once again closing out the conference this year with Ignite, a full plenary session focusing on those stories. The keynote will feature short presentations that are thought-provoking, inspiring, engaging and sometimes funny.
Over the course of the program you’ll hear from Lori Adelman, Jenifer Fernandez Ancona, Dagoberto Bailón, Beth Becker, Heather Booth, Glynda C. Carr, Gregory Cendana, Jess X. Chen, Austen Levihn-Coon, Benjamin O’Keefe, Robin Reineke, Justin Robinson, Palak Shah, Wagatwe Wanjuki, Elon James White, Teresa C. Younger, and Deanna Zandt.
