MiniTOC Vancouver is looking for presenters to share their innovative, world-altering bookish/techy/artsy/Vancouvery stories in a quick form presentation at the first annual MiniTOC Vancouver Ignite. Ideally, stories will be groundbreaking, unique, fun, and inspiring for the event’s audience of publishing, technology, and other media community members.
When:
Saturday, October 20th at 6pm.
Where:
Centre for Digital Media on 685 Great Northern Way in Vancouver.
How It Works:
Each presenter will get 5 minutes to share the story behind their product or service, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. Presenters should present their story with as much energy and excitement as they can.
