Ignite Amsterdam 28

Wednesday May 29. Dinner at 19:30, talks at 21:00.

Fast-paced and merciless, twelve speakers present their passions in five minutes (2o slides x 15 seconds). From snake hearts to artificial plants, traditional Japanese houses to 3D camouflage, and from reading to books: we're summoning the summer by presenting it with a dozen projects, ideas and insights. Dinner will be served at 19:30 courtesy of three home cooks. Expect roti, veggie tajine and more. At 21:00 the first speaker kicks off. Get your tickets online in advance to save a bit of money.
