As this Ignite Denver is kind of a reboot (new venue, great new committee, etc) we decided to try one more new thing.
Instead of having to watch me up on stage all night, we’re gonna have a guest MC. Maybe this will be a trent, I dunno. Maybe every Ignite Denver now will have a guest MC to keep us going. Who knows, but Ignite Denver 7, will be MC’ed by.
Ryan Geiger!
During the day Ryan is the digital creative director at Location3, and at night a connoisseur of irish whiskey and all things Apple.
He’s spent a good chunk of his adult life working in-house for some cool (and not so cool) ad agencies. During this time he’s produced creative solutions for Anheuser-Busch, Toyota, IBM, SeaWorld, GNC, Outback Steakhouse, US Airways, and Honda to name a few.
At Location3, Ryan oversees the creative development process from initial strategy to delivery, including web and mobile site creation, display advertising, CMS, eCommerce and other interactive solutions.
He presently resides in downtown Denver with this girl and this dog. Then there’s also Joe, the fancy pigeon that lives on his rooftop.
There are few things Ryan really likes – straight lines, helvetica, moleskine, all things Apple, Mr. Jameson, jazz, his vinyl collection, silent movies with the volume turned all the way up, and simplicity.

During our last committee meeting, we were talking about ways to hand out prizes, and fun competitions to do. We came up with the Speed round, a new take on the mystery deck idea we’ve used twice before. We wanted to take the idea of the mystery deck and put it in the hands of the audience.
Here’s how it’s gonna work!
At the first intermission, before our comedian takes the stage for some funny, everyone will vote on which slide deck from part 1 they’d like to see as the speed round.
At the end of part 2 we’ll call for volunteers (2 of them) to come up and deliver the speed round, using the chosen deck, but telling a different story. When each contestant gets up the tell the crowd their ‘theme’ and then away we go.
Here’s how the speed round is speedy
It’s the same 20 slides, but it’s 2/3 faster, that means each slide is only up for 5 seconds. so the entire deck is done in 100 seconds (just under 2 minutes)
The crowd votes for the winner with applause.
The winners will win some awesome prizes, we’re still working on those.
So when you’re sitting in the audience watching the awesome presentations, keep in mind which you’d like to see in 1/3 time!
Hurry up and submit a topic, time’s running out.
