Calling all speakers! Calling all speakers! We’re now accepting talk proposals for Ignite Manila 1, which will be part of the Global Ignite Week. Which means that if you wow us, you can share your passion with the world, as Ignite features the best international talks on their site and Youtube channel.

But the most important thing is that for one night, for 5 minutes, you get a chance to educate and entertain fellow Filipinos about what you love. Don’t worry about it being interesting to others. If you love it that much, chances are in some way, the audience will, too, and interesting will take care of itself.

So start brainstorming potential topics! You can submit more than one proposal — if you have many loves — but only one talk per speaker will be chosen (we want variety, not only in topics, but in people). But you already know what you want to talk about, don’t you? And chances are, you’ve already talked about this topic with your friends, coworkers, and loved ones hundreds of times. What’s five minutes?

Excited? Take a deep breath, and submit your proposal now. There are only eight slots remaining, but don’t worry. There’s will be more Ignites this year. (Though they won’t be part of the first Global Ignite Week
