Ignite Boulder is similar to TED talks with a twist. It brings together some great local idea generators who get to make a presention on a subject of their choice. Speakers have exactly 5 minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire — backed by 20 slides auto-advancing every 15 seconds. Quick, fun, and smart: they sell out the largest venues in Boulder. (You can see previous talks here.) This event sells out, so grab some tickets here. [May 15, 2013 . 6:00 to 9:00pm]
