Ignite talks are a special format where each speaker has just five minutes to share their personal and professional visions in 20 slides, auto-advancing every 15 seconds. The list of talks is online at http://bib.archive.org/2011/09/12/books-in-browsers-ignite/
The Ignite program will bring the latest news from the Archive’s Open Library project plus 10 of the hottest new companies from around the world, many of them just emerging from stealth, that are defining the future of reading and publishing. Several of these start-ups will be presenting their work for the very first time.
Join us for a couple of hours on a Thursday night, and get a peek at the future of books! Press are welcome. Please RSVP at RSVP@archive.org and bring some books to donate to our new Physical Archive.
