Enlighten us, but make it quick - Let’s Get Ignited!
Invitation To Present
Note: You can download the Ignite template from this page. See below.
If you are interested and available, we would like for you to participate in our Enlighten us, but make it quick - Let’s Get Ignited session. We would like for you to provide an update/overview of your initiative (s).
A primary purpose of the Roundtable is to provide opportunities for Arizona Broadband stakeholders to collaborate and network, share ideas and resources, exchange best practices, etc. While there are lots of broadband initiatives in Arizona, we have selected 5 Broadband stakeholders to present a quick overview of their Arizona Broadband initiatives.
You may be familiar with the Ignite presentation format promoted under the slogan, “Enlighten us, but make it quick”. Each speaker gets 5 minutes, and must use 20 slides, with each slide advancing automatically after 15 seconds, forcing speakers to get the point, fast. Ignite is all about fast and fun presentations which last just 5 minutes. Whether your presentation is inspirational, funny, or informative, it should be engaging and entertaining.
If you have questions, please contact me.
Need More Info? We hope you will accept this invitation. If you have questions give me a call or send an email.
If you accept this mission (I have been watching reruns of the Mission Impossible TV series) you would have to commit to this format.
See the attached template to make preparation of your presentation easier. This template has the 15 second auto advancement and timer built in, and is using the Roundtable graphics, text, logos and colors. You may change any and all graphics, logos, etc. to fit your presentation as long as you keep the basic format, automatic progression and built in timer. The only requirement is the 20 slides and auto advancement. Please note that the template is set for 4:3 aspect for PowerPoint.

Slideshow Design Tips
A slideshow is a tool that helps enhance your presentation. Here are a few tips to make your slideshow great!
Keep It Simple. Use relevant images/photos and a few key words to capture the idea you’re trying to convey.
Bullets and Text. Avoid using lots of text. If necessary, use brief 1‐3 word statements.
Timing. Slides advance every 15 seconds, so avoid cramming too many topics or ideas into one slide. Instead, give yourself breathing room by spacing ideas and topics across multiple slides. You have 20 slides, so don’t be afraid to use them.
Image Credit. Give credit where credit is due by naming the image owner. If an image is copyrighted, then get permission from the image owner before using it.
Final Slide. We highly recommend that your last slide be a “Next Steps” or Call to Action slide. It can be anything that pertains to your presentation.
