Call for Ignite Talks and Posters at the Europeana Creative Culture Jam

Share your inspiring ideas!

The final showcase event of Europeana Creative offers the perfect opportunity for all creatives to present their ideas, projects and prototypes: As part of the Europeana Creative Culture Jam, plenary “Ignite Talks” as well as exhibition space for posters including a fast-paced, plenary “Poster-Madness Session” will allow you to share your work with all conference participants.

The themes of the Ignite Talks and posters should be in-line with the themes of the conference:

creative re-use of cultural content
audiences and markets for digital heritage
the business of (digital) culture
co-creation
crowdfunding and Living Labs
copyright, technology and IPR

What are Ignite Talks?

Ignite Talks are short presentations given in rapid succession. Each presenter has three minutes to present exactly fifteen slides about the chosen topic.

These talks are intended to present the speaker’s work in a simple but exciting format and grab the audience’s attention. Therefore the ignite talk should make sure to go above and beyond the ordinary presentation. We are looking for a concentrated blast of inspiration! There will be plenty of time for in depth discussion during the exhibition.

How does the “Poster Madness" session work?

During our Poster Madness session, speakers have the opportunity to present their project before the entire conference audience in the style of an elevator pitch: Each poster is displayed on a screen for exactly one minute. The presenter then takes the challenge of quickly and simply explaining and promoting her/his work. After 60 seconds, a gong signals that the floor is to be given to the next presenter.

This fast-paced session is a great way to arouse interest and get the main idea across quickly. The posters will be given an exhibition space during the whole two days of the conference. The presenter then has the opportunity to offer conference participants more information about her/his work. For the conference participants this is a great opportunity to make contacts and exchange ideas with poster creators.
