Have you ever been to a 60 minute talk and lamented that there was only five minutes of content? Imagine if you could hear only that five minutes... That's Ignite!

Come along to this free event to be inspired, amused, educated and amazed by an array of Wellington speakers - and have fun at the Ignite contest where you can let your creative juices flow.

The evening will start with an Ignite contest, where you can team up and make something, and after the contest a series of Ignite talks. The "contest" is to help you unleash your inner creativity and have some fun! You could be building bridges out of popsicle sticks, or balancing eggs on top of each other (that'll get messy!) - what you get to make will be revealed on the night but it promises to be fun!

Ignite talks are jam-packed with inspiration and information. Speakers are given just 5 minutes and have to display 20 slides for 15 seconds each. Every 15 seconds the slide will advance, whether they are ready or not.

Register today for your free ticket which will put you into the draw for a spot prize on the night. But don't forget to bring some coinage as we will be collecting for our chosen charity, Child Cancer Foundation.

Arrive from 6pm for the Ignite Contest, speakers at 7:30pm until approx 9:30pm. Make sure you register today! http://ignitewelli4.eventbrite.com/
