Description
In 2012, while serving as program co-chair of the Museum Computer Network , I kicked off Ignite MCN, a series of five-minute Ignite/Pecha Kucha–style talks that opened each annual conference. I wrangled applications, coached presenters, and MC’ed the event for its first seven years.
In that time, 58 speakers took the stage to cover everything from Linked Open Data to the experiences of low-vision museum visitors—and, inexplicably, a magical appearance by the Digital Humanities Unicorn.
After my final year hosting, Nik Honeysett (Balboa Park Online Collaborative) invited me back to give an Ignite-style recap of those seven years. (Video starts with shenanigans; actual content kicks in around 1:25.)
