Last week I attended Ignite IT, a networking opportunity for the information technology community around Ames IA. I didn’t spend too long at the event, but I enjoyed the event and I like the approach for the event.
I have a new appreciation for OpenID which worked just great for registering for the event and updating my profile.
The format was for a series of 5 minute presentations – 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide – and yes they kept to the format. Your slides would change every 15 seconds whether you were ready or not. This was a great way to generate a lot of quick learning opportunities… and it worked.
And the community voted on the presentations. I think it would be an interesting format to try during a lunch session or another type of short session at a conference – like say the next National Extension Technology Conference (NETC)?

We could do this via Connect... because I can control the slides. :)
We will need to find a focus for an event. An online focus of several presentations... like an extension of Beth Kanter's presentation.

I love OpenID. It's just a matter of time. We should be seeing it soon on our end. :)
