Ignite Sydney 5 minutes to inform and engage
Learn something extraordinary in the time it takes for a good barista to take your order and hand you the coffee. Rapid-fire, 5-minute adult ‘show and tell’ coming your way. That’s a presentation with 20 slides, with each slide lasting just 15 seconds.

Expect dynamic presentations on topics you didn’t even know you needed to know about, including; 7 things you can learn from hip-hop
