Orlando Tech Week 2016

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? Ignite Orlando Tech Week is a night of high-energy, fast-paced lightning talks where slides advance automatically every 15 seconds - that's the fun of Ignite! Join us on the first night of Tech Week to hear about interesting topics delivered to you in a brand new way.

Each speaker gets exactly five minutes to teach, enlighten, or inspire the crowd, all backed up by 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds.
Talks cover a wide range of (often geeky) topics, from roller skating to nuclear reactors.

Diversity is a hot topic in technology circles these days with several prominent companies like Google, Facebook, & Apple being more transparent about their workforce and their concerted efforts to make their teams more reflective of the communities they serve. Recent studies and data have shown that companies with a diverse workforce often perform better in many ways, including increased innovation and a better bottom line. 

A distinguished panel of technology leaders from our community have agreed to help facilitate discussion on this important topic.We are inviting you to join us to bring together our technology community to have an open and honest discussion about the challenges and opportunities in developing more diversified talent as well as attracting and maintaining a diverse workforce. We’ll hear some personal experiences of success, set-backs, and suggestions on how we can create a more diverse and successful work environment.

The meeting will be held at PowerDMS’ offices downtown in the Exchange Building, 101 S Garland Ave, Suite 300, Orlando, FL 32801.

A light continental breakfast will be provided,.

To help us plan accordingly we would appreciate your RSVP online.
