If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? We’re going to find out at Ignite, a fun evening of “speed presentations” given by people like you.

On Monday, March 28, at Mezzanine (444 Jessie Street @ Mint), we’ve got 13 great speakers who will each give a geeky five-minute talk. Their presentations will consist of 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds.

Note: You must be a registered Web 2.0 Expo attendee if you want in! And be sure to RSVP on Facebook.

Here’s a schedule for the evening:
