Ignite Amsterdam #1 / Mapping Ignite July 9, 2010

Sharing ideas and doing it fast. Mediamatic will be hosting the first Ignite Amsterdam night. Central theme of the evening is Mapping.

The concept is easy. Ignite combines great ideas, the local community, a stage and plenty of drinks, to create thought-provoking, innovative nights. Participants get five minutes (twenty slides for fifteen seconds each) to show and explain their idea. During and after the talks there's plenty of time for a chat, a beer and a swapping of screen names and phone numbers.
We've found a nice collection of architects, designers and artists to shed their light on the issue of mapping, and present their personal projects. The full list:

Theo Deutinger,
DUS Architecten,
Sarah van Sonsbeeck,
Kristin Maurer,
Marjolijn Boterenbrood,
Jan Rothuizen,
Melle Smets,
Esther Polak,
isme,
VURB,
Renate Zentschnig and Michiel Huijsman (Soundtrackcity),
Richard Vijgen,

The evening starts at 20.30 and tickets are 5 Euros at the door. If you buy your ticket online you will get a free drink!

Ignite Amsterdam #1 is part of the three day event Map Fest, which takes place on July 6, 8 and 9.
