Our goal is to choose talks that are interesting, educational, thought-provoking and engaging. No recruiting or product pitches please. Be sure to include a description. More cleverness = more votes.
The top 6 presentations by popular vote will get in (pending discretion of the Ignite Fort Collins Team). The remaining 8 presentations will be selected by the Ignite Fort Collins Team based on a number of factors, including diversity of topics and speakers.
