If you had five minutes on stage, what would you say?

On February 8th, 16 technologists, entrepreneurs, writers, musicians, and philosophers will answer this challenge as Ignite SF comes to Public Works in the Mission. You’ll learn about the history of clothing, future building and (it’s true) how to keep a hot body at any age. Speakers include:

• Thor Muller, co-founder of Get Satisfaction
• Bess Kalb, Wired
• Tim Hwang, The Awesome Foundation and ROFLcon
• Amber Caldwell, trauma surgeon
• … and more

If you’re one of the early birds around 6 PM you’ll get free food from El Porteno (Wait, is that the awesome empanadas place at the Ferry Building? You bet!) and live music. If you’d like to tell pals once you get your own tickets ($5 each), this can help you get started:

Dear [friend/colleague/sweetheart/accountant/ mailman],

I’m going to this cool event called Ignite on Tues 2/8 6pm at Public Works. You should come! 16 entrepreneurs, writers, philosophers get on-stage to talk about their passions but each gets only 5 minutes. Their slides automatically advance every 15 seconds. Think TED Talks on speed. There’s also a full bar and free food trucks for first 100 in the door. Only $5 bucks! How many tickets do you need?
