Ignite
Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Fast-paced and merciless, speakers get five minutes to present, making use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. All presentations are given in English.

Andrea Sossi and Robert Bochove
Over the last few months, Andrea and Robert have been part of the favelous team working on building a restaurant from scratch in the Freezing Favela. Together with architect Christoph Tönges they designed and built the food court structure from bamboo. Now it's time to get cooking.
