Remember all those cool talks you saw at that Ignite you went to? And how you it made you think of a cool, non-spammy idea you could get up on stage and share in 5 minutes with 20 slides? Right now would be a terrific time to pop over to the Ignite Birmingham 3 talk proposals page, and throw it into the ring.
Ignite Birmingham 3 is Currently slated for November 4, 2010. We’ll be announcing the talk idea deadline soon, but why wait for the rush? Get your talk idea in now!
